It's about ten years old now, so before they had the big pile of comic book franchises hit the screen so don't seem to have quite figured out how exactly to market it.

The computer stuff is SLIGHTLY dated, but not terrible yet. They're right about at present expensive level tech that's reasonably plausible rather than near future, not currently available tech that they were using when series was airing.

Most of the baddy goons are dude, the higher ups are almost all ladies, which is interesting set up. there's some fairly interesting metahumans in there, but majority are standard criminals.

One of the more interesting ones in a guy that can turn into water, who robs armored cars and drowns people by liquifying over their face and crawling into lungs. Its kind of awesome, also kind of gross. They briefly science at him!


Harley is entirely the most awesome part of this. She considers psychology her fun hobby, like knitting, and actually tells another supervillian that when they question why the hell she has a "normal" job. Look I can fix them OR break them! how fun!


It's really odd, because the other thing on the DVD set is a web series called Gotham Girls which has the more familiar Batman: animated versions of the characters with Harley as Poison Ivy's ditzy foil.

The live action really goes for angle of her really starting out smart and clever and then just going off the deep end into sociopath territory. So can do a real good job playing normal when it suits her. she's actually Huntress' court appointed therapist (anger management) and gets consulted as a profiler by the police. and is meanwhile off plotting evil. (and yes, she's equally in the dark on she's talking to superhero for most of the series.)

Indeed, he is a scientist but its usually set up as when he's all Hulked out he's not supposed to be that smart or remember all that stuff. in that case, he clearly did.
