A script-flipping fun time

Tw: trauma .

. .

. I don't want to give too much away, so I won't. What I will say is that this episode really flips the script with what a hero is and what a villain is. It is a much darker toned episode and yet the humor is still there. It explores the traumas that Bruce endored as a kid and Harley is left to help him heal. I'm still not sure if Harley is supposed to become only a "good guy" only in this episode or if the show has progressively moved her in that direction aside from the anti-hero status. I firmly believe that this episode does a great job with exploring that for her as well.

There have been many enjoyable episodes but this one is a work of art. I think this episode is one of the best in the series yet, at least in my opinion.

The best episode of the show and a fun re-imagining of the Bat's origin

The best episode of the show and a fun re-imagining of the Bat's origin. This episode is not just focused on Bruce as Batman, but also on Harley. Harley's origin as a therapist is often overlooked in most iterations of the DC character but this show, and especially so in this episode, places a spotlight on how her profession is extremely apt for the subject matter and gives her a fun start to her relationship with Bruce.

Everyone that has ever seen a Batman-related media knows Bruce Wayne's backstory. Everyone has seen his parents die multiple times. This episode both pokes fun at the phenomenon but also goes further to deconstruct its meaning to Batman as a character.

This isn't simply Batman's origin story, this is Harley Quinn learning Batman's origin story. In a way, it's also something that will be part of Harley's "origin" story going forward.

Best Episode of the entirety of this show.
JettblkIMDB3 September 2022
First off I absolutely love how many animation and art styles they used, they used the same colors as The Animated Batman series, they had so many call backs to not only batman but to joker as well.

The comedy was great as always and you can really sympathize for both Bruce and Harley. They did a great job of showing Harleys Therapist side.

And unlike most episodes where Harley is being annoying or nagging at Ivy, she felt like she was really going through character development unlike any other episode.

Dr Physcho was great as always, clay-face was hilarious, Harley was hilarious and yet it felt so dark at the same time. Absolutely an amazing episode for DC comic fans.
