* MaleGaze/FemaleGaze: The series includes ''a lot'' of low angled shots on characters, but male characters also get subjected to them on a regular basis.

The series is light-hearted while remembering that it is also supposed to be dramatic, and does not forget who its three characters are and what they can do. They might be new roommates dealing with personality conflicts, but they are also experienced and competent supervillains, and since none of them have [[SecretIdentity secret identities]], they frequently bring that part of their lives into their "normal" lives, such as when they hire a member of villainous team specializing in heavy equipment to help repair their apartment. They will then go off to [[BigDamnHeroes dramatically rescue]] their [[DistressedDamsel kidnapped teammate]] who is being held hostage by a [[MonsterClown psychotic villain with a clown motif]]... no, [[NotHisSled not]] ''[[ComicBook/TheJoker that]]'' [[NotHisSled clown-themed villain]], but it will take a few issues for you to realize it. So far it has managed to be both intense and funny, and even though it might not have completely revolutionized the entire world of comics in its first ten issues, it has introduced well-written (and ''beautifully'' drawn) stories about intriguing characters in amusing situations.

A movie adaptation set in the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'' [[http://www.cbr.com/harley-quinn-led-gotham-city-sirens-taps-suicide-squads-ayer-to-direct-margot-robbie/ has been announced]].

Written by Paul Dini, writer for many series in the [[Franchise/{{DCAU}} DC Animated Universe]] and creator of Harley Quinn.

And yes, since [[AllMenArePerverts you]] [[AllWomenAreLustful are]] '''''all''''' thinking it, there is enough {{Fanservice}}, MostCommonSuperpower, and DistractedByTheSexy to go around. It is a series starring three of the hottest women in the DCU, so what did you expect?

* AbsoluteCleavage: Both Ivy and Catwoman have outfits that show this, Catwoman's whenever she unzips her SpyCatsuit.

* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Harley's father is a charming, constantly-smiling, utterly untrustworthy con artist who makes women feel special so he can get close enough to rip them off.

* NotSoDifferent: A full-page frame in Issue #24, "Fri'''ends''', Part Two" explicitly compares Joker and Harley's destructive relationship to [[DatingCatwoman Batman and Catwoman's relationship]], showing both couples leaping into battle in a split-frame shot, with Harley and Catwoman doing the same pose across the split, and Batman and Joker mirrored on either side.

''Gotham City Sirens'' was a monthly comic-book series published by Creator/DCComics co-starring Comicbook/{{Catwoman}}, [[FemmeFatale Poison Ivy]] and Comicbook/HarleyQuinn, three characters who had previously recurred throughout the DC universe, primarily as [[ArchEnemy foes]] / [[NobleDemon allies]] / [[DatingCatwoman love-interests]] of Franchise/{{Batman}}. Their portrayals have varied widely over the years, ranging from terrorists to just shy of TheHero, and their current portrayal is right on the AntiVillain / AntiHero line. None of them have completely foresworn their extra-legal activities, but neither have they become a trio of {{Villain Protagonist}}s, either. The series lasted 26 issues (August, 2009-September, 2011).

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Talia al Ghul arranges to have ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} erase Catwoman's memories of Bruce Wayne/Batman in order to ensure that she can never reveal his identity to any of Batman's many enemies. Zatanna, however, does not like being manipulated in such a way and refuses to go through with it. She does, however, ''offer'' Selina the option of erasing her memories of Bruce in order to give her the peace of mind and serenity that would come from not being entangled in such a complicated web of love, hate and conflict. Selina ultimately declines.

Though not quite a SliceOfLife (the series remains an Action/Adventure story about costumed stars battling other costumed individuals) the premise is that the characters have not united for any form EvilScheme or plot, but rather have decided to be a team simply for the sake of being with people they are on friendly terms with. [[CutLexLuthorACheck Previous events in other comics]] [[ContinuityNod that are alluded to in the very beginning]] mean that the characters have no shortage of money, so they have no immediate impetus to commit crimes, and the first arc of the series revolves around when they themselves are attacked by other criminals, instigated when Harley [[VillainsOutShopping is out shopping]].
