"Making Ha Ha with Harley Quinn" has to be one of my favorite lines about Joker and Harley in the history of their existence. I wonder what Joker did to her after the beating? :P

Paranthesis ahoy!

When the changeover in styles originally occurred, I was so disgusted by the suddenly cheap-looking animation (compared to the lushness of the original few seasons) and the streamlined redesigns which I almost-uniformly hated (with the exception of the Penguin, which is how he should ALWAYS look), especially my beloved Joker and Harvey (when the good side now looks that bland and evil, you know you've lost something).

It's the only B:TAS season DVD I do not own, I dislike it that much. I was so happy to see a spruced-up version of classic Joker return in Batman Beyond and JLU, for I loathed the Freakazoid-lipless-eyeless Joker.

All that said, perhaps now, in my mellowed-mid-twenties, the time has come to revisit those episodes. Especially after reading your commentary, which has truly provided food for thought.

Finally, have you seen this? http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y17/MewPuddingCosplay/?action=view&

Yes I didn't like many of the redesigns either (many of them I did). It certainly wasn't helped by the overuse of black and all the women wearing black lipstick (and dresses... how dull!)

the episodes themselves are awesome however and some of the animation is great.

Yes I have seen tat - so cute!

This part in particular has reminded me of something. I always wonder what people are reading/watching whenever the matter of Harley being "better off" comes up because she's clearly able to give back as good as she gets and isn't just a punching bag or whatever word people use.

I didn't see the new animation style episodes the first time around. I think Saturday morning TV didn't pick up the new episodes over here and whatever channel did, I obviously didn't watch. But when I finally did see these episodes I couldn't get over the horrible animation. I can't remember where I read it but someone described the Joker as "a demented animaniac" urgh.

I remember being confused when I saw ROTJ when it premiered on Sky because I could still remember the very early design. However, the ROTJ design was brilliant so it wasn't a BAD confusion.

Yes I know! People are so superficial about the relationship!

*sigh* I REALLY need to finish watching all the animated Batman stuff! Somebody want to come over and have a marathon?

[princessebee]

lol, sure!

Agreed!
