Harley (to Ivy): "We're going to the Big Apricot."
Well, it's been over a year since the events of the fourth season. In that time we had Kite-Man: Hell Yeah! and that was a show that nobody really watched. So, let's catch up.
Between seasons, it seems that the Batfamily have disbanded, Joker got impeached as Mayor and the Gotham City Sirens took on Enchantress and split as a group. Oh and Harley and Ivy got into a very dull rut with each other.
It looked like the rut could only be solved by taking the pair to Metropolis in order to shake up their relationship. This involved gatecrashing a party that was a museum to Superman and making friends with Lena Luthor. She's Bruce Wayne's new girlfriend and nothing like her now jailed brother.
Yes, despite Harley and Ivy causing disruption to Lena's party, it seemed like she was impressed with the pair. Even blood of Eclipso on her dress didn't deter her from tempting both Harley and Ivy to remain in Metropolis. Yup, they're sticking around and can Lena be trusted? I'm going to assume no.
As for Superman, he was in a bigger rut too. With Lex in prison and those automatons keeping the crime down, he felt redundant. At least he managed to get a nice conversation with Harley. That gave him some perspective on what to do next.
Oh and while Harley and Ivy are settling into Metropolis, there was Brainiac in the sky. Well, if the show was going to relocate to Metropolis this season, might as well have Brainiac as the big bad for the season too. I hope the show doesn't waste him.
- Riddler and Clock King have become one of those obnoxious type of couples.
- Enchantress's necklace contained Eclipso, which Catwoman stole and Lena acquired.
- Lois got neck work done, we briefly saw Jimmy Olsen and Krypto and did this show skip past Nightwing wanting revenge on Harley?
- Chronology: Over a year since the events of the previous season.
The Big Apricot got this season off to a good start. The move to Metropolis does have potential but I'm kind of disappointed that they shelved the Gotham City Sirens story so quickly. I do hope they deliver with Brainiac, villain wise.
Rating: 7 out of 10
