Harley: "I have to save Nightwing."
And we're back. After that delightfully bonkers Valentine's Day special back in February, the fourth season has finally arrived and it's off to a madcap start.
Last season Harley decided to work with the Batfamily and Ivy took over the Legion of Doom while Lex took to the moon. Needless to say, both ladies are having a hell of a time at their new jobs.
For Ivy, she's found out a bit too quickly that her male co-workers don't care for a woman in charge. She tried the nice boss bit by letting them do whatever they wanted, only for Bane to blow up an oil rig. That in itself defeated Ivy's ambitious plan for socially conscious evil and she had to become tough boss to get them all in line. Plot wise, this was rather funny stuff.
As for Harley, being a superhero had its conflicts. She couldn't get Ivy to give her info on crimes and she annoyed Nightwing by referencing his ass way too many times. However, Nightwing's ass also became an asset in taking out the mystery slicer this week.
Well, not a mystery because we all knew it was Professor Pyg's MO and he made a point about certain beautiful people whom he later attacked for hands and a clavicle. Oh and using Nightwing to catch him out managed to work in Harley's favour.
Within this first episode we had both Harley and Ivy finding success in their new jobs in a roundabout way. However Ivy's success also seemed to attract the attention of someone who's clearly meant to be Talia Al Ghul, so there's our season Big Bad.
- Clayface popped up as an ad while Ivy was watching boss tutorials by Veronica Cale. Nora Fries became Ivy's right hand woman while Snowflame was the most hostile to Ivy.
- King Shark and Tabitha are expecting their own baby sharks while Alfred took an immediate dislike to Bruce's prison butler, Alvin.
- Again, Max opened up with a triple bill and I'll get to the remaining episodes in the next day.
- Chronology: Not long since the events of the Valentine's Day special.
Gotham's Hottest Hotties had it's fun with Nightwing's behind, the hijinks of making a new career work while setting up whatever they're going to do with Talia Al Ghul. All the while Lex Luthor takes a phallic shaped rocket to the moon.
