Harley Quinn Season 3 Pays Homage To Batman: The Animated Series
Patrick Schumacker reveals that Harley Quinn season 3 pays homage to Batman: The Animated Series with a love-letter episode and original backgrounds. The '90s show was developed by Bruce Timm, Paul Dini and Mitch Brian and served as the start of the shared DC Animated Universe, which would extend to movies, TV series, comic books and video games, often involving the same creatives. Batman: The Animated Series has received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike since its premiere for its mature take on the character, stylish art design, Danny Elfman's theme music and the vocal performances from its cast, namely Kevin Conroy in the titular role and Mark Hamill as The Joker.
Harley Quinn hails from Schumacker, Justin Halpern and Dean Lorey and stars Kaley Cuoco in the titular role as Harley finally breaks up from the Joker and sets out to establish herself as Gotham's next major criminal and to join the Legion of Doom. Critics and audiences alike have fallen in love with the animated series since its premiere on the now-restructured DC Universe, earning it a season 3 renewal at HBO Max. With the two-year hiatus nearly over for Harley Quinn, those behind the series are teasing what's to come from the next chapter of the series.
