!!Harley's Crew
[[folder:In General]]
->''"What Queen of Fables made me realize, is if I want a crew, I shouldn't be looking for scumbags who believe in me, I should be looking for scumbags no one else believes in."''
-->'''-- Harley'''

A RagtagBunchOfMisfits {{Supervillain}}s Harley recruits initially in an attempt to pull enough jobs to get herself into the Legion of Doom.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: All of them have issues with being accepted in the villain community. [[SidekickGlassCeiling Harley is dismissed as the Joker's girlfriend]], [[StrawMisogynist Doctor Psycho is a pariah for his open misogyny]], [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Clayface annoys others with his overly dramatic ways]], and [[HiddenDepths King Shark is a skilled hacker, yet most people who hire him only care that he's a]] SharkMan. [[OnlySaneWoman The only exception is Ivy]], [[LonersAreFreaks who voluntarily keeps herself isolated from most others.]]
* DeadlyDoctor: Dr Psycho, along with Harley and Ivy who both have doctorates in psychology and botany.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The members of the team all care for each other, and most have a loved one outside the team.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite their willingness to commit various crimes, Queen of Fables' [[MurderIsTheBestSolution tendency to murder anything in her way]] disturbs all of them.
** Later, all of them bar [[TokenEvilTeammate Psycho]] have reservations about working with [[spoiler: Darkseid]].
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Harley, has the main goal of joining the Legion of Doom. [[spoiler:When she is temporarily put on ice, the crew loses its energy.]]
** TheLancer: Ivy, cool and aloof, serves as the {{Foil}} to the passionate and unpredictable Harley.
** TheSmartGuy: Dr.Psycho is well versed in all things mental, and even taught Evil 101 at Boston College.
** TheBigGuy: King Shark is normally a GentleGiant ([[GeniusBruiser and a surprisingly talented hacker]]), but can turn into TheBerserker when in Arkham or smells blood.
** TheHeart: Clayface is the most flamboyant of the crew, and serves the group best with his disguises rather than combat prowess.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack:
** Aside from Doctor Psycho, they're all criminals but they are certainly the lesser of two evils when compared the likes of the Joker, the Queen of Fables, and later the Injustice League. Doctor Psycho was disgraced for his misogyny and is only with them to improve his public image. [[spoiler: When Harley doesn't follow through with her alliegence to Darkseid, he betrays them for being too weak.]]
** This is [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] by Batgirl, who sees them more as [[AntiHero Antiheroes]] on account of having spent pretty much the entire second season and the second half of season 1 [[EvilVersusEvil exclusively fighting other supervillains]].
* LovableRogue: For the most part, they act like eccentric, but still [[AffablyEvil affable]] criminals, especially Ivy, Clayface and King Shark, who are perfectly fine with stealing and murder, but have some [[EvenEvilHasStandards lines they don't like to cross]]. The NaiveNewcomer superhero Batgirl actually can't think of them as bad guys even though [[CardCarryingVillain they say otherwise]].
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: They're all ruthless murderers, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but they don't approve of the Queen of Fables murdering an entire family of innocent people.]]
* NominalHero: As of Season 2 they're the only people in any position to deal with the Injustice League. Their motivations are still entirely self-serving and villainous, but based on how the Injustice League is running the city it's pretty clear that them winning would be the far better outcome for the people of Gotham.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A villainous version. They're made up of a clown, a misanthropic EcoTerrorist, a misogynistic DepravedDwarf, an aspiring actor made out of clay, a SharkMan hacker, and an elderly Jewish cyborg war criminal.
* TrueCompanions: [[WeAREStrugglingTogether Disagreements aside]], they ''will'' come to each other's aid whenever possible.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Harley and Ivy are the only women on the team. However there's more focus on them than the rest of the crew.
* UnscrupulousHero: When they target other villains, they are mostly doing it out of revenge than because the villain in question is a mass-murdering psychopath. [[spoiler: Harley joins Darkseid for a while after having an affair with Poison Ivy but backs out after realising that she was insincere about the allegiance and only doing this to deny and move on from the affair.]]
* VillainProtagonist: The crew basically plays hopscotch between this and AntiHero.
* VillainousFriendship: They enjoy doing crime together and form a true bond of friendship that is rare even among the villains of the series.
* VillainousUnderdog: They are treated as C-list villains and aren't respected in the criminal underworld. The series is about the gang rising through the ranks to become truly respected villains.
* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: Knowing that her father will go on an all out war with Harley's gang, Batgirl cycled her way to their base and tell them to reconsider their actions, even using this trope by saying that for all of their attempt to rule Gotham as a criminal group, they did a good job in fighting against the Injustice League members or at least keeping their presence on low profile. While King Shark and Clayface do take account of Batgirl's words, Harley being [[GloryHound Harley]], [[RedemptionRejection things go right as you expected]].

%% [[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
->''"I have friends that love and care about me. I'm moving on with my life with the people that matter. And that ain't you, puddin'!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaleyCuoco

An [[PsychoPsychologist Arkham psychologist turned supervillain]] after falling in love with one of her patients, ComicBook/TheJoker. At the start of the show, she finally realizes how toxic her relationship with the Joker actually is, with him being a narcissist who cares more about getting Franchise/{{Batman}}'s attention than even her being alive, and attempts to set off on a new life and villainous career of her own.
----
* ActOfTrueLove: In "There's No Place to Go But Down," [[spoiler:Harley wants to take all the blame for taking down half of the Injustice League so Ivy doesn't go to prison with her. Later, Harley is ready to jump to her own death so Ivy can escape from their pit prison and have a happy married life with Kite Man. All this culminates in Harley and Ivy realizing they are in love and kiss in the heat of the moment.]]
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Previous versions of Harley Quinn have her partner up Poison Ivy after leaving the Joker, in other cases, she plays the hero.
** This version of Harley Quinn follows her partnership with Poison Ivy, as Harley wants to overshadow the Joker for once while still coming to terms with the abusive reality of their relationship.
** In season 2, Harley has to learn to trust men and understand what a healthy relationship looks like. She does this because the Joker's abuse tainted her view of relationships and left her with doubts about what an ideal relationship is.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The first incarnation of Harley shown to be clearly disturbed long before meeting the Joker.
* AdaptationalBadass: Previous versions of Harley Quinn were incredibly competent but still relied on being partnered with other characters or thugs to stand a real chance in a fight. This version manages to take on the Joker's entire gang by herself and come out on top with only a few minor injuries. It's downplayed later on however as she struggles more with the actual supervillains and superheroes, who naturally have more abilities that could pose a threat to her.
* AdaptationalHeroism: While she isn’t a full fledged hero like she is in [[WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls a few]] [[Film/BirdsOfPrey2020 other]] [[VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs adaptations]] of the character, she’s still more morally sound than a lot of her tradition portrayals. This Harley has standards, cares for her friends, and will even team up with Batman at times.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: In a subtle way concerning her past as a psychiatrist. Most versions of her origin story have her as naive and easily-manipulated NewMeat in Arkham. Here, she actually was very competent at her job prior to meeting the Joker, able to make breakthroughs with patients written off as a lost cause by others such as Poison Ivy. [[spoiler:She's also pretty accurate, albeit in a roundabout way, about Ivy and Kite Man's relationship.]]
* AdaptationalSkimpiness: Harley has yet another run-in with this trope, wearing an outfit similar to her ''Rebirth'' version.
* AdaptationalVillainy: As far as we know, most versions of Harley were fairly normal women prior to meeting the Joker. A trip into Harley's mindscape in ''Being Harley Quinn'' reveals that she's had AxCrazy tendencies since she was a kid. It's even implied she killed an AlphaBitch for spreading a rumor that she lost her virginity to a horse.
* AffectionateNickname: Ivy calls her "Harls".
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Deconstructed to hell and back. She's initially attracted to the Joker because of his dangerous and unique aesthetic, but she eventually finds out that his violent and uncaring nature extends to her as well.
* AlwaysSecondBest: While with the Joker, Harley believed he always loved her until she realised that his one and only was always his [[InLoveWithYourCarnage archnemesis, Batman]]. The realisation that she was the Joker's second best gave her the desire to overshadow him for once in the criminal underworld.
* AscendedFangirl: Even before joining the Joker as his top enforcer, Harley was so fascinated by him that she wrote a thesis on the evil clown.
* AxCrazy: As one might expect from the Joker's former top enforcer, she's short-tempered, unstable, and gleefully, eye-wateringly violent. As if to accentuate how violently insane she is, her happiest memory is apparently chopping one of her dolls' heads off with a cleaver when she was six.
* BadassInDistress: The first episode of Season 2 has Harley being rescued by her crew after she was encased in ice by the Injustice League.
* BadassNormal: She doesn't have any superpowers beyond being an [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower extremely talented gymnast]], but she's the most technically proficient fighter and battlefield tactician of her crew by a long way, and extremely willing to [[CombatPragmatist fight dirty]].
* BareYourMidriff: At the end of the first episode, she discards her jester costume for a revealing bikini-like outfit.
* BatterUp: Her WeaponOfChoice is a painted wooden baseball bat. It's devastating against ordinary humans, but having it shatter against enemies with SuperToughness is her equivalent of TheWorfBarrage.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Several times she gets into fights, and gets hit hard enough to get a bloody nose, but is perfectly fine a few seconds later.
* BenevolentBoss: In contrast with [[BadBoss the Joker]], Harley treats her villain teammates with care and respect instead of disposable {{Mooks}}.
* BettyAndVeronica: [[spoiler:In Season 2, Ivy is torn between her feelings for her friend Harley and her fiancé Kite Man. Harley is the Veronica because she's a reckless, wild and murderous villainess who just got out of an abusive relationship with a psychotic clown. By the end of season 2, Harley makes an effort to clean up her messes, to be a better person and as a result she wins Ivy's heart.]]
* BigBadWannabe: Her goal is to take over the Joker's place as the top supervillain of Gotham. Since the show she stars in is mainly a BlackComedy, she only succeeds at being a regular criminal at best or a nuisance at worst. Her attempts at antagonizing big-league superheroes like Superman and Batman end with her either being ignored or getting the shit beaten out of her. Attempts to join the LegionOfDoom horribly explode in her face.
* TheBrute: This continuity firmly shows that she ''used'' to be this for the Joker, acting as his primary muscle when he can't swamp his enemies in goons. Once she turns on him, his {{mook}}s don't stand a chance.
* BullyingADragon: She mentions an AlphaBitch humiliated Harley by spreading rumors that said Harley lost her virginity to a horse. It's not specified how Harley retaliated, but she does mention [[NoodleIncident the cops interrogated her for hours about what happened to the student.]]
* ButtMonkey: She is used as a punching bag by Gotham's other villains, especially the Joker.
* CardCarryingVillain: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. She desires to become one of the most feared villains of all...but doesn't actually have it in her to follow through with the big league supervillainy that entails, [[EvenEvilHasStandards and often finds herself sickened by the actions of said villains]].
* CelebCrush: She had a big one on Creator/FrankieMuniz as a kid, having dreamed of kidnapping him and tricking him into getting her pregnant.
* ChaoticStupid: A {{Deconstruction}} at the beginning of Season 2. Having [[spoiler:taken down the Joker]] and Gotham being left in ruins, Harley has the perfect chance to rise up as the top villain and completely take control of the city. Instead, she chooses to indulge in the ApocalypseAnarchy and outright refuses to bring back organized crime because she loathes any form of order. The result is that the Injustice League traps her in ice when she refuses to share rulership over Gotham with them and Harley ends up regretting not taking the city for herself sooner. [[spoiler: It's also part of the reasoning why Ivy rejects Harley's advances; she loves being friends with Harley, but Harley's too wild and short-sighted for a long term relationship.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: While still a villain, the first season has Harley gradually realize how selfish a boss and a friend she had been, and resolving to change. This continues into the second season by prioritizing Ivy's happiness with Kite-Man despite her concerns of their relationship's long term stability [[spoiler: and putting her own romantic feelings for Ivy on the back burner for her friend's sake.]]
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: She's not in the same league as the true DC {{Lightning Bruiser}}s like Superman, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman, but by ordinary human standards, she's incredibly fast, strong, and tough. She can dodge gunfire, break bones in a single hit, take an impressive beating, and even fall off the side of a mountain, and walk away with only minor injuries. While she did fall into the same vat of chemicals as the Joker, the show generally treats both their transformations as largely cosmetic, and points to her career as a competitive gymnast as the reason for her combat prowess.
* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: She was a trained psychologist and expertly diagnosed many of the Arkham inmates' mental problems, but it takes her a good long while to acknowledge and confront the serious mental problems she herself has.
* ColorMotif: Carrying over from her trademark jester costume and a playing card motif, her outfit is all in red and black.
* CostumeEvolution: She starts out in her classic jester costume, but severs ties with the Joker and swaps it out for her {{Stripperiffic}} New 52 getup.
* CreepyChild: In her happiest childhood memories, Young Harleen's idea of playing house with her dolls involves mommy (who she gives her mother's name, Sharon) accusing daddy of coming home smelling of "alcohol and whore" and then chopping his head off with a cleaver.
* {{Cuckoosnarker}}: She's a nutjob, but she gets a few snarky quips here and there.
* DarkActionGirl: She's the most battle-oriented and physically strong villainess in the series. And damn that she's brutal to those who take her on.
* DitzyGenius: She is an expert psychologist and competent battle tactician, but her interactions with the Joker show that she's fairly easy to manipulate.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Her driving when stealing the Batmobile is wild, of course it helps that it's [[WeaponizedCar an arsenal full of weapons]].
* DropTheHammer: She initially wields a giant hammer, but it gets [[WreckedWeapon destroyed in battle]].
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Despite the fact that she freed the Justice League from their imprisonment and was the one who ''actually'' stopped [[spoiler:Dr. Psycho and his parademon army]], she is not shown any appreciation by the city of Gotham. The Justice League are awarded for saving the day ''when it was actually Harley''. Likewise, Wonder Woman shows no gratitude toward her for saving Themyscira.
* DumbBlonde: She had this reputation as the Joker's sidekick. It is however, completely wrong. She graduated her high school as valedictorian and was, by all accounts, a perfectly capable clinical psychologist. Her problem is not that she's dumb, but that she hasn't had much reason to value or use her own intelligence in a long time, and is still a little rusty at it. Oh, and she's crazy.
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: {{Subverted|Trope}}. [[spoiler:Harley tells Ivy she loves her when she lets go of her to fall into a pit of flames so Ivy alone can escape. Fortunately, Ivy saves her.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She’s genuinely unnerved and opposed to the Queen of Fables' brutal and horrifying methods.
** Later on, she apologies for accidentally giving a man cancer from a cancer ray.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The DomesticAbuse she suffered at the hands of the Joker, and likely her parents' extremely neglectful and dysfunctional relationship has left her struggling to even comprehend what a healthy romantic relationship looks like and prone to PsychologicalProjection come Season 2. She questions the quality of Ivy and Kite Man's relationship, and when she finds out about Nora, she immediately assumes Mister Freeze froze her to keep her for himself.
* EvilIsPetty: Her initial motive is trying to work her way to become Gotham's top villain so she can rub her success in the Joker's face.
* EvilVersusEvil: While she wants to be the baddest villain in Gotham, Harley fights and takes down other villains most of the time, such as Joker, Queen of Fables, and the Injustice League. This causes Batgirl to think Harley is an AntiHero, which Harley vehemently denies,[[spoiler: at first.]]
* EvilVirtues: Loyalty and Determination. Harley may be a villain but she is a loyal friend. And she never quits.
* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: After her costume switch in the first episode, Harley starts wearing prominent pink and light blue eyeshadow.
* FamilyOfChoice: After she finds out her parents are scumbags who would gladly kill her for her bounty, Harley declares they aren't her family. Instead, she decides the only family she has in the world is her crew and tries everything she can to make amends with them.
* FatalFlaw:
** Her breakup with the Joker left her with the desire to best him and prove herself as her own person. Prior to her character development, she disregarded her personal relationships due to being more focused on overshadowing him.
** In Season 2, she has trouble understanding romance because Ivy's and Mr Freeze's personal, romantic relationships were nowhere near as abusive as her relationship with the Joker was. Harley thawed out Nora because she believed she was being held hostage and she tries breaking up Kite Man and Ivy because she didn't trust his intentions with her and believed she could do better.
* FingerlessGloves: The gloves of her new costume don't cover her fingers.
* FirstFriend: With Ivy, on top of being {{Best Friend}}s. Harley is the first human being Ivy ever opened up to and wanted to trust after a lifetime of being rejected by humanity.
* FirstGirlWins: [[spoiler:No matter how much Ivy honestly liked Kite Man, Harley came into Ivy's life first and they had a much stronger bond way before Kite Man began dating Ivy. In the end, Kite Man himself realizes Ivy really wants to be with Harley despite her denials and calls off their wedding, leading to Ivy running off with Harley.]]
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect:
** As standard for the character, Harley first met the Joker when he was assigned as her patient in Arkham Asylum. He told her sob stories to buy her sympathy and make her think only she could help and love him, which let him take advantage of Harley's own wish of being needed by someone.
** [[spoiler:Retroactively, she also has this with Ivy. In this version, Ivy was Dr. Harleen's patient when she still worked at Arkham Asylum and she was the one who helped Ivy work through her misanthropy. Years later, Harley realizes she has fallen in love with Ivy.]]
* ForcefulKiss: To convince herself that [[spoiler:her kiss with Ivy meant nothing like Ivy says]], she starts kissing her crew and Batgirl at random, to their discomfort.
* FreudianExcuse: Harley blames her criminal life on the fact that her dad is a criminal, and her [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad taste in men]] on her mother's refusal to leave her dad. Harley's plan in Season 1 was to get revenge on the Joker for abusing her and for making her feel like his plaything by joining the Legion of Doom to overshadow him.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Harley blamed the Joker for everything that went wrong in her life until she realised that everything was done by her own choosing.
* GirlishPigtails: After getting a costume switch, she ties her hair up into pigtails. She also had them as a child as revealed in ''Being Harley Quinn''.
* GlorySeeker: After she leaves the Joker, 95% of Harley's actions are for the sake of seeking praise and recognition for her villainy, be it from the public, fellow supervillains or superheroes.
* GoingCommando: As evidenced by the scene where she ends up hanging by her shorts in the Batcave, Harley isn't wearing any underwear.
* HarmfulToMinors: A flashback in ''Being Harley Quinn'' shows young Harleen in front of a window and watching her father's "business meeting" which involved two men brutally beating him up and taking the money from his wallet. Apparently this was just "work" for Harley's father, implying this was a regular occurrence throughout her childhood.
* HatesTheirParent: Harley absolutely loathes her deadbeat mobster of a father. Since he's the reason why she was forced to lose a gymnastics competition she wanted to win badly just so he could win a bet he made against her, it's hard to not see why she hates him so much. To top it off, just when she starts to think her father isn't so bad, he tries to kill her for money.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: This ''is'' someone who fell in love with the Joker, after all. She also assumed Mr. Freeze had imprisoned his wife, only to find out she was sick and he really was trying to save her, though that is somewhat justified given that her poor history with boyfriends and [[AbusiveParents her terrible parents]] have made it difficult for her to comprehend what a happy couple looks like.
* HumanPopsicle: In the opening of Season 2, Harley is captured by the Injustice League and spends two months encased in ice.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: At her core, all Harley wants is someone who sees her value as a person and acknowledges her accomplishments after her own parents constantly demeaned her efforts and goals. What attracted her to the Joker was him recognizing her thesis on him and [[YouGotSpunk spunk]] during their first meeting and stayed with him for so long because he convinced her that she was loved and needed by him, when all he really wanted was to control her. [[spoiler:Eventually, Harley realizes she wants her best friend Ivy's love and is heartbroken by Ivy rejecting her and choosing to go through with marrying Kite Man.]]
* InTheBlood: Her father is a mobster and her mother is completely supportive of it. It's debatable if Harley's turn to villainy and [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys terrible taste in men]] was a result of this or them just being terrible parents, however. And that's not going into the TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior she exhibited on her own.
* InformedKindness: Harley is told by Ivy, her crew (and even Batgirl) that despite being a supervillain, she's a good person. Harley is certainly a better person than many of the villains she faces but her actions, and their consequences, are pretty awful. She's selfish, foolhardy, volatile and most of her decisions have directly or indirectly killed countless innocent people. Quinn even invades [[spoiler: earth with an army of parademons, with the intent of going on a mass killing spree, just to distract from her feelings for Poison Ivy.]] Then again, Ivy is obviously biased because she was treated like shit by people and Harley is her OnlyFriend. As for the others, Batgirl is a NaiveNewcomer who has some HorribleJudgeOfCharacter, as seen when she can't find any reason to doubt Harley and Ivy will take Riddler to Arkham instead of taking him prisoner for their self-benefit.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Because of her extreme immaturity, Harley has a bad habit of placing her own interests and goals before those of others, which more than once comes at the expense of her friends. Ivy at one point lampshades this by criticizing Harley for never showing interest in anything that isn't about her.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: She comes dangerously close to this in "Inner (Para) Demons" [[spoiler:where she lets Psycho talk her into making a deal with Darkseid. Harley is willing to threw her few morals out of the window to unleash a Parademon army on Earth and kill people for no reason. It's until Ivy intervenes that Harley realizes senseless murder won't give her what she really wants: Ivy.]]
* LadySwearsALot: She drops a lot of F-bombs in just the first episode alone.
* LaughablyEvil: Between her violent tendencies and just out-there personality, it's impossible not to get a laugh out of her.
* LightningBruiser: She's fast, acrobatic and formidable with her baseball bat.
* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Harley's father (and mother) is a misogynistic {{Jerkass}} who has always been dismissive of her dreams and has no problems trying to kill her just to get money out of it. Harley blames her unhealthy obsession with abusive and manipulative men like the Joker on her asshole of a father.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Her hair and skin were bleached white by being submerged in the same chemicals that created the Joker.
* LoveEpiphany: [[spoiler:She realizes she's in love with her friend Ivy after their kiss at the end of "There's No Place to Go But Down." Ivy refuses to admit there was any meaning to their kiss and continues her engagement with Kite Man while pretending nothing happened with Harley, resulting in Harley trying to take over the world with the Parademons to vent out her romantic frustration.]]
* LoveHurts: [[spoiler:Harley eventually realizes she loves Ivy romantically, but Ivy is already engaged to Kite Man and refuses to acknowledge the mutual feelings between her and Harley. This leaves Harley frustrated and sad, almost driving her to try and take over Earth with Parademons to distract herself from the pain. It's only reinforced after she finally confesses to Ivy, only for Ivy to turn her down and say that a long-lasting relationship wouldn't work out between the two of them. She tries to put on a strong front as Ivy leaves with Kite Man, only to break down into tears as soon as they're gone.]]
* LoveMakesYouEvil: While she always had a repressed dark side, it was falling in love with Joker what drove to embrace her murderous impulses and become a villainess. [[spoiler:Later, thinking she can't get Ivy because the latter already has Kite Man, Harley makes a deal with Darkseid and uses a Parademon army to massacre the people in Gotham.]]
* LovingAShadow: What attracted Harley to the Joker was envisioning him as a man traumatized by an abusive childhood and who needed her for love and comfort. It's until after her relationship with him ends that Harley learns the story Joker told her about his father beating him wasn't even his [[spoiler:but Ivy's. Soon after that, Harley realizes Ivy is the one she truly loves.]]
* MaamShock: She's annoyed when Robin calls her old.
* MadeOfIron: She regularly takes punishment way more than her lithe figure should be able to tank. In ''So, You Need a Crew?'', she got thrown off a train by the Joker's goons down into a chasm, at which she only expressed annoyance and walked out with nothing more than messed up hair and some minor bruises.
* MadLove: As in most incarnations, she's madly in love with the Joker and is completely blind to the fact that he sees her as nothing but a disposable asset to be manipulated for his benefit, stubbornly insisting he does love her even though he has abandoned her to get arrested and locked up more than once. Unlike other versions, this series starts with Harley getting much needed help from Poison Ivy to finally open her eyes to the truth that the Joker cares for no one but himself and Batman, which leads to Harley breaking up with him for good.
* MakeUpIsEvil: The one supervillain character in the show who wears eyeshadow and heavy red lipstick.
* ManBitesMan: When she has most of body except fot her head and right hand trapped in ice, Harley uses her teeth to attack the Penguin and ''bite his nose off''.
* MaskOfSanity: Given context provided in the episode ''Being Harley Quinn'', it's implied that this was part of her psychologist persona. She was clearly very messed up as a child and teenager, so the Joker luring her into a life of crime ends up coming across less as him corrupting her and more like he simply reawakened what was already there.
* MatchmakerCrush: In the first half of Season 2, Harley is all for Ivy and Kite Man getting married because she thinks that'll make Ivy happy, even encouraging Ivy to accept the proposal despite Ivy not being sure she wants that herself. Midway through the season, [[spoiler:Harley realizes she has romantic feelings for Ivy and sort of asks her to cancel the wedding with Kite Man so they can hook up. However, Ivy has already convinced herself Kite Man is her safe option for a stable married life and rejects Harley's confession.]]
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: The series begins with Harley becoming fed up with the Joker's abuse once she finally realizes that he never even loved her. She then quits being his minion so she can make her own career as a stand-alone supervillainess.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Averted. Harley's never shown to be especially villainous as a doctor, unless Joker's involved.
* MsFanservice: She's very beautiful and wears outfits that flatter her figure, and one episode has her accidentally expose herself. Lampshaded by Calendar Man's wife who calls Harley a "porn clown."
* MulticoloredHair: As has become a tradition for the character, she's a blonde with dip-dyed blue-and-pink pigtails.
* NatureVersusNurture: The episode ''Being Harley Quinn'' delves into Harley's life before becoming the Joker's henchwoman and brings into question just how much her villainy is a result of nurture. It's all but stated that young Harleen had an unhappy childhood with an extremely dysfunctional family. However, it's heavily implied her AxCrazy impulses are nature. Her attempts at playing with dolls involved a wife murdering a husband for cheating, she stalked her CelebCrush to the point legal actions needed to be taken, and she [[NoodleIncident may have]] killed a girl at her camp for spreading humiliating rumors about her. Harley believed she became a villain only because of the Joker [[spoiler:to the point she convinced herself he pushed her into the bath of chemicals when she had jumped willingly]], but towards the end of the episode, she fully realizes that she always had a choice. Neither the Joker nor her "fucked up parents" made Harleen Quinzel into Harley Quinn; she made herself. At most, one could interpret that the Joker only brought out her dark side to its fullest.
* NeverMyFault: It takes a lot for Harley to accept how her flaws and mistakes cause troubles for her and her personal relationships. All her crew leaves her because she ignored them and failed to keep her promises to help them in favor of letting herself fall into the Joker's game of abuse. Afterwards, Harley complains about them abandoning her without acknowledging how her choice to hang out with the Joker instead of her friends got her into that mess.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Played with. Unlike previous animated incarnations, this version of Harley Quinn typically speaks with a flat Midwest affect, but begins consciously affecting her old Brooklyn accent when she visits her parents in Bensonhurst, suggesting she changed it after moving to Gotham.
* NoRespectGuy: She's an Olympic level acrobat with a degree in psychology and years of experience in combat. Despite this, most people consider her a joke, and refuse to consider her anything other than the Joker's girlfriend or a generic thug.
* OneWomanArmy: In the first episode, Harley goes against the Joker's gang and -- despite being hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned -- kicks their asses and walks away unscathed.
* OnlyFriend: She's the only human being Poison Ivy deems worth befriending.
* PerkyFemaleMinion: She initially served the role of the Joker's adoring moll and henchwoman. After discovering that the Joker never really cared about her at all and was just using her as a means to an end, she sets out to defy this role and become an independent villainess in her own right.
* PointyHairedBoss: Her desire to fast-track herself to recognition and overall immaturity mean that her crew have to deal with her schemes frequently escalating.
* PrettyFreeloaders: After her ninth broken TV, you must ponder why exactly Ivy keeps Harley rent free.
* PrimAndProperBun: She wore her hair like this in her Dr. Harleen Quinzel persona, as part of her effort at trying to appear sane and professional.
* PsychologicalProjection: When she sees Mister Freeze going on about how much he loves his terminally ill wife who he keeps trapped in a block of ice (to keep her from dying, mind you), Harley immediately assumes he's the same kind of abusive man like the Joker who treats his lover as property, going as far as accusing Mister Freeze of having lied about Nora being ill and keeping her trapped against her will. Once she sees Mister Freeze and his wife do truly love and care about each other, Harley understands their relationship is nothing like the one she had with the Joker.
* PsychopathicWomanchild: Is incredibly immature and unrestrained, in addition to being a dangerous supervillain.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She wears a black and red costume, (both her original costume and the New 52 costume) and is the VillainProtagonist.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the noisy and uncontrollable Red Oni to Poison Ivy's level-headed and sardonic Blue Oni.
* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:With Poison Ivy at the end of season 2.]]
* RepressedMemories: In her JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind, Harley's repressed memories are locked up in a replica of Arkham Asylum. There, she's repressed her memory of the Joker shoving her into a vat of chemicals that bleached her skin white. [[spoiler:The part she repressed was that she jumped in willingly, since it had always been easier to give agency to the Joker and blame him for her turn to villainy. After confronting this, she takes responsibility for her life choices and re-defines her {{origin story}} as the day she walked out on him.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Her goal in Season 1 was to get revenge on the Joker for his abuse and her goal in Season 2 is to get revenge on the Injustice League for usurping her.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: {{Defied|Trope}}. Harley is fed up of being written off as "the Joker's girlfriend" and is aiming to become a competent, terrifying villainess of her own right.
* SelfServingMemory:
** She remembered the Joker proposed marriage to her in the middle of a romantic dance. Her psychiatrist self interrupts the memory to force Harley Quinn recall what ''really'' happened; instead of a ring, the Joker gave her a grenade and used her as living bait in one of his fights with Batman.
** She also edited her own memory to make it seem like the Joker had pushed her into the chemicals that made her into Harley Quinn, [[spoiler:when in fact she went in willingly]].
* ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy: Has this dynamic with Poison Ivy, with Harley using her bat and acrobatics for close-range combat while Ivy uses her plant powers from a distance.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: While she was with the Joker, he made her wear a clown-themed, form-fitting catsuit to show her off as his property. When she severs her ties to him and starts making a name for herself in the underworld; she changes to a skimpy costume that shows off her feminity and individuality, symbolising her move towards freedom and independence from him.
* SillyRabbitRomanceIsForKids: "Thawing Hearts" reveals that Harley has developed a rather cynical view on true love due to her abusive relationship with the Joker. She initially can't believe Mister Freeze's devotion to his terminally ill wife is genuine, writing him off as yet another controlling man who ruined his woman's life. It's at the end of the episode that [[spoiler:Mister Freeze's sacrifice for his wife]] makes Harley understand what she had with Joker ''wasn't'' true love.
-->'''Harley''': True love made me sacrifice my career as a psychologist, permanently change the way I look and almost got me killed, like, so many times. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis LOVE. IS. BULLSHIT]].
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: A same-sex example. [[spoiler:Once Harley finally gets over her abusive ex-boyfriend Joker, she realizes she's really in love with Ivy, her best friend who truly cares about her and has always been there for her through good and bad times.]]
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She had glasses as Dr. Harleen Quinzel, her genius psychiatrist identity.
* SmarterThanYouLook: She spent years as a PerkyFemaleMinion who was easily manipulated and fooled by the Joker, but Harley was a genius psychiatrist and proves to be quite clever after she finally dumps him.
* StalkerWithACrush: She was sent to juvenile hall for stalking and threatening to kidnap her CelebCrush Creator/FrankieMuniz. There were also violations of a restraining order involved.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her bikini-like new outfit is effective for {{Fanservice}}, but realistically wouldn't be good for physical combat.
* SuperiorSuccessor: Harley manages to be this for her parents as she inherited her bad traits from them, but managed to overcome them. She inherited her violent and criminal tendencies from her father, but Harley is stronger, smarter, more honorable, a better criminal, and has been capable of kicking his ass even before she became a super villain. She inherited her bad taste in men from her mother, but Harley was smart enough to cut ties with the Joker for being an abusive partner while her mother is hopelessly devoted to a gambling husband who's willing to endanger their family for money.
* SwissArmyTears: In the Season 1 finale, Harley thinks the tears she shed on [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s grave made her come back to life. Ivy reminds Harley they aren't in a Creator/{{Disney}} movie, but admits that the tears probably did help.
* TalkingToThemself: She occasionally has conversations with her psychiatrist past self. Curiously, Dr. Harleen Quinzel is completely aware that Harley Quinn is stuck in a codependent abusive relationship with a psychopath who doesn't love her and tries to get her hopelessly blind villainess self to see this. Dr. Harleen Quinzel finally gets through to Harley Quinn when the Joker lets her fall into what they think is acid. She does however give bad advice to her villainous self as seen with her suggestion to seek out her AbusiveParents, although Harleen had no way of knowing her parents would try to kill her.
* TermsOfEndangerment: In the Season One finale, Harley calls the Joker by his pet name "Puddin'" mockingly before [[spoiler:Ivy drops him into a vat of acid]].
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Her and her crew's constant destruction of Ivy's apartment eventually gets her evicted in Episode 4.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Going by the episode ''Being Harley Quinn,'' this version of Harley had... ''issues'' since childhood. One flashback shows her playing with dolls as husband and wife, having the wife accuse the husband doll of cheating, and then cutting the husband's head off with a meat cleaver, all implicitly before her teenage years.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: She gets the idea to rob Aquaman. Despite the show treating him as more of a joke, he is shown to nonetheless be an extremely powerful hero who is out of Harley's league. Prior to that, she tried to pick a fight with Superman, who just ignored her.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: The main character of the show who is not just a supervillain, but also one who is incredibly reckless and refuses to listen to her friend's advice, though the unsympathetic part gets subverted as the series goes on, what with the Joker revealing how low he's willing to sink just to get back at Harley for wounding his pride and ''her own parents trying to kill her to collect her bounty''. While a lot of her misery is her own fault, her actual misery progressively stops being PlayedForLaughs.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: She's able to carry around and never lose her smartphone by tucking it into her top.
* VillainousHarlequin: More on the anti-heroic side of this trope.
* WardrobeMalfunction: There's a scene where she winds up hanging by the seat of her pants from a stalactite, exposing her backside for all to see.
* WeaponOfChoice: She starts off with her massive hammer, but when it gets blown up, she switches out to a baseball bat, which she decorates in the next episode.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: A carnival game inside Harley's mind mentions "winning Daddy's love" (it's rigged).
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: She doesn't get why Ivy would even look at a goof like Kite Man and openly tells her she could do better than him. By the end of "Trapped," she warms up to him after seeing how far he was willing to go for Ivy and really looks happy when he proposes to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Or, rather, when she smiles a ''specific'' type of smile, the one where she notices she has had approval. Whenever people clap at her in the Legion of Doom, her smile gets a ''lot'' prettier and more genuine.
* WomanScorned: At first, she puts up with a LOT of physical and emotional abuse from the Joker, even forgiving him for leaving her to rot in Arkham for a year. Then, Ivy and Riddler trick the Joker into explicitly revealing that he never really cared about Harley at all, and Harley takes this about as well as any sane person would.
* WouldHurtAChild: Usually averted, but she nearly plays it straight with Robin. After the Joker sends a condescending message to Harley about her "rivalry" with Robin, Harley decides that she's going to kill Robin to make it stop. Ivy believes she is capable of doing it, but that doing so will only validate everyone's belief that Robin is her nemesis, while the rest of her crew thinks that she would just be crossing the line.
* WrongGenreSavvy:
** She starts the series thinking she and the Joker are a passionate OutlawCouple taking the world by storm. Every other character has a hell of a time trying to convince her otherwise until the end of the first episode.
** Also, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood thanks to her relationship with the Joker]], she initially thinks that the reason Mister Freeze is keeping Nora frozen is that he can have her all to himself and that he's lying about her condition. This ends up causing trouble for everyone involved when Harley decides to thaw her out, only to find out that not only was the disease real, but that Nora and Freeze actually do love each other.
* YearningForANemesis: The episode "Finding Mr. Right" is about Harley desperately wanting a nemesis so people will take her seriously as a villain.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Her new costume sports a grade B with common knee-high socks and a bikini bottom.

[[folder:Poison Ivy]]
!!ComicBook/PoisonIvy (Dr. Pamela Isley)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ivy_5.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"You don't have to rinse out your cans and bottles before putting them in the recycling bin, okay? That's just a myth and it wastes water."]]
->''"Harley, I love you in... sigh... in a very odd, hard-to-articulate way. And if you just stopped sabotaging yourself... the world would be yours."''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LakeBell

Harley's BestFriend, an EcoTerrorist with [[PlantPerson a plant physiology]] that grants her a HealingFactor, drug and poison immunity, and the ability to mutate and control other plants.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: During the first few episodes Harley regularly pitches Ivy a plan she's been workshopping about blackmailing Gotham City with a nuke to have a highway named after her. Ivy is initially unimpressed by the idea, but when Harley actually pulls it off Ivy ends up admitting to her own bemusement that it was actually worth it.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics her middle name is "Lillian", but here it's "Gertrude".
* AdaptationalBadass: In a way. While Ivy in almost all adaptations is a badass on some level, this version of Ivy, in both power and intelligence, is far and away the most competent character in the show. She's so badass in fact that Lex Luthor wanted her to join the Legion of Doom, as revealed in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", but she continually shot down his ''many'' requests.
** [[spoiler:Her HealingFactor is also significantly more powerful than in most adaptations, enough to revive her after being speared through the heart by the Joker]].
** [[spoiler: She's so competent that she actually manages to fend off ''Superman'', something that 90% of the entire DC Universe struggles to do.]]
* AdaptationalModesty: Usually known for skimpy outfits, Ivy in this series contrasts Harley's style with a practical and modest, but far from unattractive wardrobe. She also swaps her usual breathy, seductive tones for a flatter, more cynical, DeadpanSnarker affect. The seductress aspect of her character is heavily downplayed in favor of her EcoTerrorist side. In the last few episodes of Season 1 she does end up in skimpy clothes due to ClothingDamage, but that's not intentional on her part.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Ivy is a ''far'' more pleasant character than in the comics, being depicted as Harley's even-tempered and supportive best friend who happens to be an eco-terrorist. Her misanthropy is toned down greatly, and in her own words she still hates other people but she can tolerate being around them. This is lampshaded by Ivy addressing that Harley's diagnosis of her (a misanthrope with abandonment issues who bonds with plants to avoid bonding with humans) was one she took to heart, and she's making the effort to be a more functional person.
* AffectionateNickname: Harley calls her "Ive". This has at least once led to a mistake involving the contraction of "I have".
* AlienBlood: Her blood is green. Also her tears seem to be black.
* AloofAlly: Ivy may constantly proclaim that [[IWorkAlone she wants to work alone]] and not join Harley's crew, but she's been by the girl's side since the beginning, and she ends up becoming a reserve member, helping them out on occasion when they really need it.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has light green skin.
* ApologeticAttacker: In "Devil's Snare", she apologizes as she tears mutated trees apart.
* BackFromTheDead: In "The Final Joke" [[spoiler:Ivy's HealingFactor, with maybe a bit of ThePowerOfFriendship from Harley, revives her after being speared through the heart in the previous episode.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Ivy and Harley's friendship here is based on how Harley was able to give her genuine help for her psychological issues when Ivy had pretty much been written off as a lost cause by everyone else. Harley was also the first person who ever gave her a gift, which motivated Ivy to open up to her.
* BestFriend: She's Harley's most loyal, caring and helpful friend.
* BrokenBird: She's jaded and cynical, being convinced that almost the entire human race is trash after a very lonely childhood where she was abused and neglected by her parents. Harley and a few more are the only people she brings herself to care about, but she still has a secret fear of being betrayed.
* CardCarryingVillain: Averted, uniquely among the criminals in this show. Unlike Harley and the various supervillains in the Legion of Doom, who revel in being considered evil and villainous, Ivy insists that there's nothing "evil" about her acts of eco-terrorism.
* TheCaretaker: To her loony best friend Harley. Poison Ivy is the reason why Harley could finally realize that the Joker doesn't love her and get out of that abusive relationship for good. After that, Poison Ivy continues to watch out for Harley and save her from the messes she keeps getting into.
* CaringGardener: Her apartment is full of plants that she calls her "babies". When she's locked up in Arkham and later briefly trapped inside Harley's mind, Ivy's main concern is that there's no one to take care of her plants in her place.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: She never stopped trying to talk sense into Harley about her being a victim of DomesticAbuse by the Joker and arranges a whole set up with the Riddler just so she can get into Harley's head that Joker doesn't love her. Afterwards, Ivy tries talking Harley out of her stupid attempts at becoming a better villainess. Not that Harley listens to her, which Harley herself even lampshades by saying she enjoys not-listening to Ivy's advice more than anyone else's. When Ivy has to rescue Harley from being beaten by Batman after a prank involving a giant shark nearly gets Robin killed, Ivy complains that her entire existence appears to revolve around cleaning up her loony best friend's messes.
* ColorMotif: Keeping with her plant image, everything she wears (including her underwear) is green, except for her shoes and shirt. Green accessories she has include a bikini, a sun hat, a trenchcoat, sunglasses, and a beanie.
* CombatStilettos: She wears little black high-heeled pumps as part of her main outfit.
* TheConscience: She's like the voice of reason Harley utterly lacks. Whenever Harley does something too risky or amoral, Ivy is the one who tries and talks some sense into her. The effect varies depending on how much Harley is willing to listen to Ivy.
* CoolBigSis: She's way more rational than Harley and watches out for her like if she was her troublemaker little sister.
* CovertPervert: Quickley asked Giganta's boyfriend to call her when she sees him perform cunnilingus on ice-cream.
* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler: Ivy admits she lost her faith in humanity the first time her father hit her.]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: In "Harley Quinn Highway", she manages to kill a number of guards holding her despite being in a place with no plants at all, though her escape attempt still fails.
* DeadpanSnarker: You can count the number of times she doesn't speak in an incredibly dry tone on one hand.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: From the first episode, Ivy is set up as the other protagonist of the show next to Harley, being Harley's BestFriend and {{Foil}} who is the main reason Harley gains the determination to get out of her abusive relationship with the Joker. When Ivy isn't helping out Harley, she's usually the center of the episode's subplot.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: At the end of "Devil's Snare", [[spoiler:Ivy is stabbed through the chest by the Joker and bleeds to death in Harley's arms. Thankfully, it turns out not to be permanent.]]
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:She's fatally impaled in ''Devil's Snare'', but it's revealed an episode later that her HealingFactor is so strong that even having her heart destroyed is a temporary setback.]]
* TheDragon: Even though she keeps insisting she's not joining Harley's crew, she's Harley's most loyal ally and confidant who keeps giving advice and helping out her BestFriend. She also tries to be Harley's voice of reason, but it almost never works.
* EcoTerrorist: Unlike other criminals, Poison Ivy doesn't care about stealing or spreading chaos. She only wants to protect the natural environment, even if that means destroying polluting factories and killing people with their own chemicals. Ivy repeatedly complains about how people treat her like a supervillain because of this.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: When Kite Man proposes to her, he reveals that her middle name is Gertrude, to her clear discomfort.
* EtTuBrute: As revealed in ''Harley Quinn Highway'', her greatest fear is actually Harley, specifically the fear of putting trust in someone only to be betrayed. She ends up taking it incredibly personally when Harley [[PoorCommunicationKills seemingly]] breaks her promise to help her destroy Plantwide Pavers in favor of being with the Joker. [[spoiler:Her fear of Harley hurting her again is why she is against the idea of them being in a relationship, despite her also having repressed feelings for her.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** She's annoyed when she finds out Frank ate a kid she hired to watch her plants while she was gone, [[PragmaticVillainy albeit because his parents would be looking for him]]. When she finds out Frank ate the kid's parents as well, she's still not pleased.
** In the second episode, when Kite Man uses her lethal pheromones on the kids at Penguin's party, she's pissed at him and forces him to help her get an antidote for them. She's also genuinely upset when the Joker kills Howie Mandel.
** When she meets Kite Man's AbusiveParents whilst dating him, she is visibly discomforted by just how badly they treat him, ultimately calling them out on his behalf. Of course, since she herself had AbusiveParents, this makes perfect sense.
** ''Inner (Para) Demons'' subverts this. [[spoiler:Although she ultimately convinces Harley not to go through with taking Darkseid’s offer of his Para-Demons she’s not actually concerned with the genocide they cause. She simply states Harley is doing it for no purpose.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards Ivy cares heavily about the environment, but even she thinks that paper straws are stupid.
* EvilRedhead: She has red hair and while she's nice to Harley, Ivy is still a misanthropic EcoTerrorist who openly doesn't give a fuck about any human being but Harley.
* FatalFlaw: Her inability to be honest with herself drives much of the plot of Season 2's latter half. As she puts it, [[spoiler:she hurt alot of people delaying the inevitable.]]
* {{Foil}}: Her entire situation throughout Season 1 is contrasted with Harley. Harley wants to build a team, but Ivy funny enough treats them more like a family, whereas Harley treats them like a means to an end. Harley is highly ambitious, but lacks all forms of self-awareness, which leads to disaster. Ivy has no real ambition other than helping her best friend and she fully knows what she's about. Harley is obsessed with an utter nutjob who wants nothing to do with her and treats her like shit. Ivy dates a guy who is extremely goofy, but ultimately turns out to be great (and healthy) relationship-material.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: [[spoiler:Kite Man manages to forgive Ivy for having an affair with Harley while they were engaged, but he has not forgotten it.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Poison Ivy didn't always hate humanity. Her parents' abuse and neglect along with a life with no friends until Harley came along made her into the misanthropic EcoTerrorist she's today.
* FriendVersusLover: A really complicated example in that the Joker is technically Harley's ex, but Ivy's main issue with Harley is that she constantly allows herself to be goaded by him despite him not being worth it, rather than really appreciating the friendship she has with Ivy.
** Season 2 flips this around, with Ivy having choosing between her lover (Kite Man) and her best friend (Harley). [[spoiler:[[RelationshipUpgrade The season ends with Harley becoming Ivy's lover after Kite Man breaks off their engagement and Ivy realizes that she only went along with the wedding for negative reasons]].]]
* FriendlessBackground: She doesn't have anyone she can call a friend except for Harley. One of her most traumatic childhood memories is a [[OnePersonBirthdayParty birthday party with no friends to celebrate it]].
** Season 2 reveals, besides Harley, the only other friend Pamela has is Jennifer, who she's known since ''kindergarten'', but also seems to have loads of personal issues herself.
* GiveGeeksAChance: She becomes attracted to Kite Man, a goofy supervillain loser regarded as a joke by everyone. Ivy is embarrassed to be seen in public with him, but she ultimately admits she does want to date him.
* GreenThumb: If there is any plant life in her presence, she can control it and turn it into huge minions.
* HatesTheirParent: One of her deepest fears is her cold-hearted and unloving father. [[spoiler:She later admits her father beating her was the reason why she became a misanthrope.]] As Harley says, both of them have daddy issues.
* HealingFactor: Her plant physiology allows her to heal from all manner of wounds and pathogens [[spoiler:even having her heart destroyed only puts her out of commission temporarily.]]
* HellbentForLeather: Wears a short dark green leather jacket. She also notes in "Devil's Snare" it's her favorite top.
* HiddenDepths: You'd be surprised to know that Ivy is a NASCAR fan.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Her villainy is rooted in environmentalism, and she advises people not to waste water in ''Finding Mr. Right''. But Wonder Woman's Lasso reveals that she takes long showers and doesn't like paper straws (though these could be [[JustifiedTrope justified by her plant-based physiology for the former and paper being made of trees in the latter.]])
* IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: [[spoiler:Harley is Ivy's best friend and the most important person in her life, but unlike with Kite Man, Ivy can't trust Harley won't do something that could break her heart or ruin their relationship. After Harley went back to the Joker and let Ivy down so many times, Ivy can ''barely'' allow herself to keep Harley as a friend, so becoming lovers with her is too much of a risk for Ivy to take with all the emotional baggage she already has. After Kite Man spells it out for Ivy that her heart really belongs to Harley in "The Runaway Bridesmaid" and breaks off their engagement, she allows herself to reciprocate Harley's feelings.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:The Joker harpoons her in "Devil's Snare".]]
* IncidentalVillain: She has little interest in being an out-and-out supervillain, and instead maintains a mostly normal life with an apartment and real life problems and concerns, only very occasionally going on sprees of eco-terrorism against targets she thinks deserve breaking her normal routine.
* InsistentTerminology: She refuses to be called a villain and claims she is an eco-terrorist, consistently saying that she doesn't think it is villainous for someone to work hard in protecting nature.
* InLoveWithLove: Her relationship with Kite Man has shades of this. Ivy believes she loves him back and agrees to marry him even though she's not entirely sure she's ready for that sort of commitment because he's one of the most decent and caring people she knows. However, she seems more attracted to the idea of getting married and staying in a "safe" relationship rather than necessarily to Kite Man himself. [[spoiler:Her hesitation becomes obvious to where Kite-Man picks up on it and after the wedding is ruined, he reaches his own breaking point and ends the relationship for both their own good.]]
* {{Irony}}: Poison Ivy's misanthropy was born out of being hurt by the people supposedly closest to her, even Harley pushes it because of her former loyal to the Joker. And yet, her own emotional problems lead her to hurt the two people closest in her current life: Harley and Kite-Man.
* IWorkAlone: Ivy insists this constantly refusing offers from the Legion of Doom and denying that she's part of Harley's crew. That said, she'll still join Harley's heists if asked.
* JustFriends: [[spoiler:Harley and Ivy have been best friends for years, but it's not until after they share a passionate kiss during their escape from Bane's pit that they realize their feelings for each other are romantic. This only makes things awkward between them because Ivy refuses to acknowledge she's in love with Harley and Harley is forced to suppress her feelings for Ivy to not get in the way of Ivy's engagement to Kite Man. After they wind up having sex following a rager in "Bachelorette", Harley finally confesses to Ivy, only for Ivy to turn her down in favor of going through with marrying Kite Man, believing her and Harley are incapable of having a lasting romantic relationship. However, in "The Runaway Bridesmaid", Kite Man realizes that Ivy truly has stronger feelings for Harley than she has for him and breaks off their engagement, leading Ivy to allow herself to [[RelationshipUpgrade reciprocate Harley's feelings]].]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Killing Becca, Condiment King's fiancee. Unlike Condiment King himself, she never did anything to Ivy or Kite Man.]] It comes off as a needlessly mean and cuel act of villainy.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Ivy is usually accompanied by mystical melody when she uses her powers.
* LessEmbarrassingTerm: She dislikes being called a supervillain, preferring "ecoterrorist."
* LonelyRichKid: Her parents were wealthy, but they never gave her any love or attention. She also never made human friends, so her only companion was a ficus plant [[spoiler:until her father cruelly threw it away]].
* MessianicArchetype: [[spoiler:After being resurrected in "The Final Joke", she rises into the air with her arms out, her body forming a cross shape.]]
* MessyHair: In the flashback of "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues," it looks like Ivy didn't bother to comb her hair to show how much of a disaster she was until she and Harley became friends.
* MisanthropeSupreme: Was formerly this before her therapy sessions with Harley. She doesn't quite ''like'' people in the present, but she can hold conversations with them without wanting to vomit, as she puts it.
** It's telling that the only friend of pre-Poison-Ivy Pamela Isley's who joins her bachelorette trip is Jennifer... from kindergarten.
* MistakenForPregnant: In Episode 4, Harley returns to Poison Ivy's apartment seeing a banner that says "It's a boy!" and baby stuff all over the place, causing her to think she's pregnant and having a baby shower. She rubs Ivy's belly and congratulates her, but Ivy tells her she's not pregnant and doesn't know why the stuff is there. It turns out to be a prank set up by the Joker mocking Harley for having Robin, a preteen boy, as an arch nemesis.
* MoralityChain: Ivy's influence keeps Harley from going off the deep end. When she and Harley are avoiding each other after [[spoiler: their awkward kiss]], [[TokenEvilTeammate Psycho]] talks Harley into [[spoiler: [[DealWithTheDevil pledging herself to Darkseid]] for a Parademon army]]. Harley gets cold feet and backs out of it as soon as Ivy shows up and questions whether she really wants to go through with it.
* MundaneUtility: Controlling plant life is very useful not just for fighting, but also for cleaning her apartment.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: PlayedForLaughs in "Devil's Snare". Ivy is forced to fight mutated trees in order to protect the crew. When she splits one of the trees in half and sees its age, she's horrified at realizing she just killed a kid.
** A bit more serious, but she's quite ashamed of how she hurt Kite-Man in her infedelity with him [[spoiler: and she's reduced to tears when he ends the relationship.]]
* MythologyGag:
** Ivy's attire (green skin, foliage pants) resembles her portrayal in the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries''.
** Ivy considers Harley's wish to surpass her ex-lover to be relatable. One of her origin stories has her in a toxic relationship with Jason Woodrue the Floronic Man, similar to Harley and the Joker.
* NatureLover: She cares more for the environment and natural life than most of humanity.
* NobleTopEnforcer: Ivy isn't into real villainy and only helps Harley in her schemes out of loyalty. She also steps in when Harley or someone in her team is at risk of going ''truly'' evil.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She routinely gets right into Harley's personal space, which is especially notable since she's otherwise as standoffish as you'd expect from a clinical misanthrope with attachment issues. It's both a sign of how much she cares about her best friend, and a sign of just how much effort it takes to get Harley Quinn to listen to you more than half the time.
* NotGoodWithPeople: With the notable exceptions of Harley Quinn and Kite Man, Ivy vastly prefers to associate with plants than with other human beings.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being the voice of reason in Harley's crew, Ivy has shown that she's not above indulging in some silly antics herself.
* OnlySaneWoman: She may have been an inmate at Arkham Asylum, but living with Harley and working with the likes of Kite Man, Penguin, Bane, and Clayface makes her look positively rational.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Because of her social insecurities and inexperience with stable relationships, Ivy unwittingly causes a long chain of miseries in the second half of Season 2 where she tries to rush into a wedding with Kite Man for the sake of finding security and trust, [[spoiler: despite not truly being in love with him but rather wants to be with Harley]]. Her constant denial to be honest with herself and others drags out the issues it creates, [[spoiler: leading to the wedding being ruined in a BallroomBlitz of supervillains versus Gordon's police raid, a fed-up Kite Man coldly calling off the wedding, and Ivy in tears with her and Harley trying to escape the GCPD.]]
* PowersDoTheFighting: As Frank bluntly lampshades, Ivy uses her plants to do almost everything for her, including fighting her battles. Eventually averted, as she's shown to be able to fight (dirty), and use a handgun like a pro.
* PragmaticVillainy: She hired a kid to water her plants in her apartment while she was gone, except Frank ate him. She points out that his parents might be looking for him (to which Frank reveals he also ate them).
* PrimalScene: [[spoiler:When Ivy was a child, she accidentally caught her father having sex with a maid. However, what traumatized her the most was her father beating her senseless over it and then killing her first plant as additional salt to the wounds.]]
* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Frequently {{averted}} in general, but Ivy in particular tends to avert this - Ivy often stumbles over her words, stammers and repeats herself.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the level-headed and sardonic Blue Oni to Harley Quinn's noisy and uncontrollable Red Oni.
* RedHeadInGreen: As standard for Poison Ivy, her hair is red and her outfits are green.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Harley is the person she's the most openly affectionate towards. On more than one occasion Ivy has said 'I love you' to Harley, to her face, all while looking shy and demure. [[spoiler:It becomes a hell of a lot more complicated after they share a passionate kiss following their escape from Bane's pit. Harley is more than willing to undergo a RelationshipUpgrade after realizing her feelings towards Ivy are romantic, but because [[YourCheatingHeart she's already engaged to Kiteman]] and her own more complicated feelings towards Harley, Ivy wants them remain JustFriends. They upgrade to an OfficialCouple at the end of "The Runaway Bride" after Kite Man spells it out for Ivy that her true feelings are towards Harley.]]
* SarcasticDevotee: Ivy is Harley's most jaded and critical friend, but also the most loyal and protective one without any doubt.
* ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy: Has this dynamic with Harley Quinn, with Harley using her bat and acrobatics for close-range combat while Ivy uses her plant powers from a distance.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: To make her stand out as one of the main characters, Ivy has red hair and green eyes.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Ivy herself admits Kite Man isn't the type of guy she would usually date, but for some reason she can't help but to give him a chance. This must have something to do with the fact that despite being a sorry joke of a supervillain and a perverted goof, Kite Man is a very decent guy when you look past that. Ivy admires his laid-back and confident personality, considering him a way better man than any other male supervillain she knows. However, Harley thinks Ivy should look at other options instead of settling down for the first man who is nice to her. Though she does come around. [[spoiler: This is played a bit by the end since Ivy ends up with Harley, but only after Harley makes the effort to become a better person, putting Ivy's wants before hers along with working to be more reliable. Namely that while she and Kite-Man are both pretty decent people, the pre-established emotional investment Ivy has with Harley as friends ends up helping to make the relationship more appealing.]]
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler: In "Devil's Snare," the Joker cold-bloodedly murders Ivy to deprive Harley of the person who truly loves and cares for her the most. PlayedWith an episode later in that it really only puts Ivy out of commission temporarily due to her HealingFactor.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's cool, composed, and sarcastic as hell, but her best friend Harley and her boyfriend Kite Man bring out an incredibly sweet side in her.
* SurroundedByIdiots: You can tell Ivy really wants to use her plants to strangle the life out of the psychotic morons she works with.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Stops in the middle of a brawl to remind a TV audience that washing their recycling before putting it in the bin is unnecessary and wastes water.
* TokenGoodTeammate: The crew are all supervillains, but she's a WellIntentionedExtremist EcoTerrorist with a reasonably functional ideology behind her actions and a strong sense of social justice (again, by supervillain standards). When someone needs to be the resident conscience, it's usually her.
* UndyingLoyalty: Ivy is on Harley's side no matter what and has her friend's best interests in mind. She doesn't want to participate in Harley's schemes, but will always be there to bail her out when things go south.
* UptightLovesWild: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:The serious, cynical and sarcastic Ivy harbors repressed feelings for Harley, who is crazy, impulsive and uncontrollable. However, Ivy rejects Harley's love precisely because Harley is too unpredictable for Ivy to believe a relationship between them can last or Harley won't hurt her again. Ivy decides it's safer to marry Kite Man because he's steady. Despite this however, Kite Man comes to the realization during their wedding that, despite this, Ivy does truly love Harley more than him and breaks things off with her. Ivy comes to the realization that, regardless of her impulsive personality, [[DeconReconSwitch Harley still was willing to change for her sake]] and allows herself to finally reciprocate.]]
* TheVamp: While traditionally this, her dealings with Kite Man and a bunch of kids indicate that she is trying to avert this trope and make it on her own as a capable villainess.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She identifies as an eco-terrorist who makes it very clear that she doesn't create chaos and mayhem ForTheEvulz, but rather for the noble cause of saving the planet.
* WhatTheHellHero: At the end of "A Seat at the Table", she finally runs out of patience at Harley's disconsideration of her friendship when she finds out Harley lied to her and stood her up to let herself be seduced and dumped by the Joker ''again''. Ivy is especially angry because that was like Harley wasting all of Ivy's efforts of getting Harley out of that vicious cycle of abuse.
* WickedCultured: Ivy's preferred alcohol is red wine, she reads books when relaxing, likes museums, and (during Season 1) took pride in having designer furniture (which, to her annoyance, Harley kept smashing).
* YouAreACreditToYourRace: While she's a self-admitted misanthrope, she honestly believes her best friend Harley is "the only human being who is worth a shit". She later extends this to Kite Man, finding his confidence attractive enough to give dating him a shot.
* YourCheatingHeart: In "Theres No Place To Go But Down", [[spoiler:Ivy unintentionally cheated on Kite Man after she and Harley kissed. Much more seriously, they actually have sex whilst intoxicated in "Bachelorette".]]

[[folder:Doctor Psycho]]
!!Doctor Psycho (Dr. Edgar Cizko)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dr_psycho_3.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"I DON'T HATE WOMEN!!!"]]
->''"That really hurt, you cunt!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TonyHale
A short, angry man with powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The Cowled Critic describes him as "universally hated". Granted, the Cowled Critic is also his abused son, but he likely wouldn't have said it online if he expected much disagreement. [[spoiler:By the end of Season 2, the rest of crew want nothing to do with him either, and pass him over when they come to break Harley out of Arkham.]]
* AbusiveDad: He was one to his son Herman, locking him in the basement for days, killed anyone who showed Herman any sign of liking him, [[MurderArsonAndJaywalking refused to get him a WayneStation 4]], and named him [[EmbarrassingFirstName Herman]]. Psycho states he did this to give his son a good FreudianExcuse so that he could grow up to be a great supervillain.
* AdaptationalBadass: Most variants of Doctor Psycho are merely telepaths, here he is a powerful telepath and telekinetic that can go toe to toe with Wonder Woman in a fight.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The comic version was a flat out SerialRapist and an open {{Sadist}} who had no redeeming features at all and would cross any lines without shame or remorse. This version, while still a misogynistic supervillain, is nowhere near as bad a person. He loves his son, showed sympathy to Sy and his sister and was genuinely touched by their story, was just as sad about [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s death as the others, and was genuinely horrified by the Queen of Fables' massacre of the Praxis family reunion. To put it in perspective, the comic version of Doctor Psycho once mind controlled a bunch of people into cannibalizing each other, got ''turned on'' from the experience, and then [[MindRape broadcast his own arousal back into the survivors' minds so they could experience it as if it were their own]]. That said, during the latter half of season 2, he goes through a major case of JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, becoming far more murderous and more like his comic counterpart. By the end of season 2, he possesses almost no redeeming qualities at all.
* AlmightyJanitor: Although he was once a full supervillain and Legion of Doom member in his own right, upon Harley getting them back into the Legion of Doom he is considered a henchman - and is treated as such. Despite this, he is still a powerful telepath that can go toe-to-toe with Wonder Woman (or more specifically, he ''could'', but he's no longer allowed to fight heroines).
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:In the second half of Season 2, after failing to convince Harley to use Darkseid's army of Parademons to TakeOverTheWorld, he teams up with the Riddler and together the two use the Parademons to take over Gotham.]]
* TheBrute: The most powerful and, hilariously enough, the most diminutive guy on the crew.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: For all of season 1 and the first half of season 2, he is portrayed as a NobleBigot JerkWithAHeartOfGold who, despite being a misogynistic supervillain, has a moral code and many redeeming qualities, thus holding the moral ground along with the rest of the crew whenever they face other villains. Batgirl even states that she sees him and the rest of the crew more as [[AntiHero anti heroes]] than full fledged villains. The second half of season 2 strips him of all his redeeming traits apart from (presumably) his love for his son.
* ChronicVillainy: He's got a severe empathy deficiency that makes it difficult for him to tell when he's crossing the line from socially-acceptable evil to the unacceptable kind. As such, he tends to treat the crew as his prosthetic conscience. Come season 2, he begins to feel that his time with the crew has caused him to become progressively less villainous, leading him to try to return to villainy by attempting to convince Harley to TakeOverTheWorld. [[spoiler:He then splits from the crew after Harley gets cold feet]].
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In the Season 1 finale, the Joker brutally tortures all of Harley's crew. And what torture did he prepare for Doctor Psycho? Have him be ForcedToWatch videos about feminism.
* TheCorrupter: Plays this the part towards Harley at the tail end of season 2, trying (and briefly succeeding) to talk her into pursuing higher level TakeOverTheWorld level supervillainy.
* CountryMatters: During a fight, he calls Wonder Woman the C-word on national television. Then, while apologizing for the incident on a talk show, [[AesopAmnesia he drops the C-bomb again]] when Giganta calls him out for his sexist behavior. Ivy remarks that [[EvenEvilHasStandards he's just become the least employable person on the planet]].
* CruellaToAnimals: In "Riddle U," he kills escaped zoo animals to make candles from their fat and hats from their fur.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Poison Ivy, Psycho often makes sarcastic remarks at the stupidity he gets involved in because of his teammates.
* DepravedDwarf: A little person who's also a supervillain and misogynist.
* DoubleStandardRapeSciFi: Him brainwashing Giganta into loving him and having a son with him is treated less seriously than calling Wonder Woman the C-word.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In a battle with Wonder Woman, he uses a politically incorrect slur that shocks everyone, thus setting him up as a foul-tempered potty-mouth.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: PlayedWith. He cares about his son in his own way and thinks it's his responsibility as a supervillain father to raise him into an irredeemably evil person. He did this by abusing him to the extreme that could drive anyone insane.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** He's a raging misogynist, but he's a doctor. He treats his ability to fix people very seriously and is offended by Ivy's suspicion that he would do something nasty in Harley's brain.
** He's also just as horrified as the rest of Harley's crew when the Queen of Fables reveals her mass-murdering tendencies.
** He apparently refused to sell King Shark's fin to a Japanese chef... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and resents Harley for not being there to tell him not to consider it.]]
** He's clearly as horrified and saddened by [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s death as the rest of the team.
* EvilFeelsGood: As a child, he got a big rush from watching a Ferris wheel collapse and kill everyone on board. It was his StartOfDarkness moment.
* EvilIsPetty: Broadcasts Harley and Ivy having sex to all of Gotham for no other reason than he was pissed for losing.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Averted. Big time. The last thing he wanted for his son Herman was for him to grow up into a "happy and heroic" person. Therefore, he raised him in the worst way he could.
* FreudianExcuse: Parodied. When he was a kid, he always wanted to ride the Ferris wheel but he was too short and his mother told him to be patient and he'll big enough next time. As time goes on, he still hasn't grown big enough to ride the Ferris wheel. Then one day, the Ferris wheel collapses with people still on it and he felt satisfied watching all those people die and it was on that day he decided to hate women. [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse It makes no sense and even Darkseid isn't sure how those two things are supposed to connect]]
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He's the only member of Harley's crew who nobody is fond of because he's such a misogynistic asshole. By the end of season 2 [[spoiler:he's not anyone's friend anymore]].
* HasAType: [[GiantWoman Giant women.]] He brainwashed Giganta into marrying him, and despite normally having a mutually-chilly relationship with Poison Ivy, when she supersizes herself in "Devil's Snare," he's instantly turned on and tries to pay her to put him in her pocket. Psycho outright admits to the crew that he has a type.
* HeManWomanHater: Wouldn't be Dr. Psycho if he weren't a raging misogynist.
* HeightAngst: He's sensitive about his height.
* HiddenDepths: He has enough practical knowledge to render animal fat into candles. He can also make hats out of animal hide, suggesting he knows how to work leather.
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: A DepravedDwarf had a child with a GiantWoman. Though he admitted that the sex wasn't great.
* {{Hypocrite}}: During the latter half of season 2, he has ''many'' instances of this:
** Back in season 1, he was horrified by the massacre of the Praxis family, stating "We never covered anything this fucked up!" In season 2, [[spoiler:he goads Harley into initiating a massacre of Gotham City with a parademon army that puts the Queen of Fables' one to shame]].
** He stated that he refused to sell King Shark's fin to a Japanese chef, showing care for him. In season 2, [[spoiler:he brainwashes King Shark and takes joy in making him relive his traumatic childhood memory of killing his brother]].
** He showed sympathy to Sy and his sister, yet [[spoiler:he shows no sadness when Sy sacrifices himself]].
* HypnotizeThePrincess: MindRaped Giganta to fall in love with him, though she comes out of it on national television and calls him out for it.
* IgnoredExpert: PlayedForLaughs: He takes Harley's crew on a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind and -- having done this many times before -- repeatedly tries to warn them about the various complexities of the human psyche and how many problems the group will face if they do anything rash. Much to his annoyance, nobody listens to him.
* InformedAttribute: His misogyny is so downplayed in the show compared to how often its brought up. While he called Wonder Woman the C-word and raped Giganta, the latter of which is glossed over, he spends most of the show willingly working for Harley and Ivy, and thought he trades snark and insults with them, he also does the same with Clayface, King Shark, and Sy, and makes considerably less sexist remarks than Joker or the Injustice League do, and yet, he's the only one who gets labelled a sexist creep. [[spoiler:His betrayal in Season 2 has him claim he hates working for women as part of the reason he quit, but what was actually shown was Harley refusing to TakeOverTheWorld and he seemed to have no problem being her dragon in this scenario.]] Possibly its due to drawing from his depiction in modern comics, where he's a little creep but he's not above working with women and he keeps his sexism to himself more than anything.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the latter half of season 2, he realizes he's gone soft and [[spoiler:loses almost all of his redeeming qualities, betrays the crew, and tries to kill Harley and lead a parademon army in massacring Gotham and conquering Earth]].
* KickTheDog:
** [[spoiler: He forces King Shark to share his most traumatic memory.]]
** [[spoiler: Mind-controlling Ivy and forcing her to kill her best friend and secret lover, Harley]]
** [[spoiler: In one final act of spite, he shares Harley and Ivy having and affair to Kite-man, Ivy's fiancee and all across Gotham.]]
* KickTheMoralityPet: [[spoiler: In Season 1, he was willing to put aside his grudge against Harley at the time to rescue Poison Ivy from Scarecrow. In Season 2, after Psycho goes rogue, he mind controls Ivy on the spot the next time they meet, showcasing that he's completely gone off the deep end.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: His betrayal of Harley marks the point where everything goes sideways for her in Season 2.]]
* MadEye: Fittingly for someone going by Doctor Psycho, his left eye is drawn bigger than his right one.
* MistakenForGay: In "Dye Hard," Psycho tells the crew that he and Riddler like each other and are "together". Obviously, Psycho means he and Riddler are teaming up [[spoiler:to control the Parademons and kill Harley]], but Clayface takes it the wrong way.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:After he turns against Harley, Psycho's main grudge is the she never made him feel respected and appreciated when he was in her crew.]]
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Played with. He is no mad ''scientist'' per se, but he did teach Evil 101 in an actual university, so he actually has a [=PhD=], rather than just adopting ''Doctor'' as part of a villainous nickname.
* TheNapoleon: Very short and prone to yelling and insulting people over trivial things.
* NobleBigot: Proud misogynist, but had no problem working with Poison Ivy and being led by Harley Quinn, and up until season 2 was fine with being part of her crew. [[spoiler:He drops the "noble" part in the second half of season 2]].
* OhCrap: After he calls Diana the [[CountryMatters C-word]] on national television, he's taken aback by everyone else's reaction.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Publicly calling Wonder Woman a cunt. Even Darkseid knows about it and considers it low of him.
* PetTheDog: He has quite a few moments where he shows he can stop being awful when he wants to, particularly in season 1:
** "L.O.D.R.S.V.P." has him help Sy reconcile with his sister who was transformed into an octopus monster by using his telepathy to act as her translator. Hearing Mirielle's feelings touches him so much that he cries.
** In "Harley Quinn Highway," he agrees to help Harley rescue Ivy without asking anything in return.
** In "The Final Joke," he pays his respects at [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s funeral along the rest of the crew.
** He's truly moved by [[spoiler:Mister Freeze sacrificing his life to cure his wife]] in "Thawing Hearts".
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: His FatalFlaw. He's evil, but not ''marketable'' evil, and he's trying to correct it with limited success.
** The Legion of Doom kicked him out because [[EvenEvilHasStandards even they found Psycho's blatant misogyny to be crossing a line]].
** He also shows a hint of being racist. While we don't know what he said to set off Black Manta, he replies it was "[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial nothing racist]]" when asked.
* PowerPerversionPotential: He brainwashed Giganta into loving him.
* PragmaticVillainy: He joins Harley's crew since working in a crew with a female leader would help repair his image that he so utterly ruined.
* PsychicPowers: He can read minds, brainwash people and move objects with his mind.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:He's been locked in Arkham Asylum for his partnership with Darkseid, with no indication that he'll be getting out anytime soon. [[RealityEnsues Not that the crew would even want him back after everything he did.]]]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In a peculiar example of this, Psycho quits Harley's crew after she [[spoiler: backs out of the deal he brokered with Darkseid]], disappointed by her reluctance to engage in that level of supervillainy.
* SoProudOfYou: When he sees his son is more evil than he could have ever imagined him to be, Psycho tells him how proud he is.
* TheSociopath: Downplayed. He has the least functioning moral compass of the gang, has committed rape and child abuse, was so unlikeable the Legion kicked him out, and has multiple times taken an ItsAllAboutMe approach. But multiple scenes shows he has compassion for others and functioning empathy, such as his sadness at [[spoiler:Mr. Freeze dying to save his wife]]. In the latter half of season 2, however, [[spoiler:he loses most of his redeeming qualities and becomes more of a true sociopath]].
* SoreLoser: [[spoiler:After being defeated by Harley and Ivy, he uses his powers to send the memory of their night of drunken sex to everyone in Gotham out of pure spite]].
* SquishyWizard: His PsychicPowers make him one of the most powerful members of the team, but physically, he's a diminutive dwarf who could be easily crushed by Harley's bat. He's still MadeOfIron enough to take beatings that would kill a normal man.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:When Harley backs out of her deal with Darkseid, Dr. Psycho takes control of the parademon army himself and, after acquiring a device that enhances his psychic powers, hypnotizes King Shark and Clayface into turning on Harley as well.]]
* StayInTheKitchen: While appearing with Giganta on a talk show, Dr. Psycho tries to speak on her behalf and put words in her mouth, all the while vehemently demanding that she stay silent.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: He insists on being called ''Doctor'' Psycho.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. He's a DepravedDwarf who was married to [[GiantWoman Giganta]] (because he mind-controlled her into it). He barely reaches her ankles. Since the two have a son together, Poison Ivy [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction wonders how that works considering the extreme size difference.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: The crew may be supervillains, but he's consistently got the least functional moral compass (alongside Sy). Interestingly, he's both aware of this and none too happy about it (not least because being a horrible jerk to everyone has ruined his career and his life). However, he eventually can't take not doing true evil anymore and quits the team after [[spoiler:Ivy talks some sense into Harley when the latter unleashes a Parademon army in Gotham]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: For most of the series, he's an obnoxious [[TheNapoleon Napoleon]] who only joins Harley because the Legion of Doom kicked him out, but multiple scenes did show he had a softer side, he seemed to genuinely enjoy working with the crew, and was shocked at the gruesome brutality of Queen of Fables like everyone else. By the second half of Season 2, all of his redeeming traits are gone and his worst traits maximized, starting with [[spoiler:taking control of a Parademon army to kill all the people in Gotham and take over the world. Two episodes later, he betrays the crew by teaming up with Riddler and trying to kill Harley.]]
* ToughLove: After a fashion. His son resents him for giving him such a fucked-up childhood until Psycho explains he did that because he cares so much about his son that he didn't want to see his potential as a supervillain going to waste, so he gave his son one big FreudianExcuse to set him in the path of villainy.
* TranslatorBuddy: He plays this role for Mirielle, Sy's sister who got turned into an octopus monster. Psycho uses his telepathic powers to let Sy know how Mirielle feels and help them reconcile.
* WalkingSpoiler: There's a certain thing Dr. Psycho does in Season 2 that makes it difficult to discuss him afterwards. Namely, [[spoiler:that he betrays Harley and forms a BigBadDuumvirate with the Riddler.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler:For all the things Dr. Psycho did to them while he was working under Darkseid, the crew have more or less dropped Psycho from the team. When King Shark, Clayface, and Frank infiltrate Arkham to help Harley escape, they don't even acknowledge him.]]

[[folder:Clayface]]
!!Clayface (Basil Karlo)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clayface_8.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]])
->''"Brother! It is I! The Superman! From Kryptalon!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk, Creator/JonahPlatt (singing voice)
An actor made of clay who takes great pride in his art.
----
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: He often overemphasises the last syllable of a [=sentEEENCE=]. It's generally a sign that he's descended so far into his obsession with LargeHam theatrics that he can't even hold his diction together.
* AdaptationalDumbass: This Clayface is an idiot who can't even go one mission without trying to exaggerate the false identities he creates and constantly overplays the parts. He was easily tricked by Maxi Zeus into blowing his cover, and he blew the team's cover when he was impersonating Batman because he couldn't keep himself from singing.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Most versions of Clayface are murderous, unstable monsters. This one's just a friendly and endearingly inept actor who happens to mostly work for supervillains.
* AdaptationalWimp: In other media, he's a powerful enough {{Shapeshift|ing}}er to warrant [[GodzillaThreshold drastic measures]] specifically for him. Here, Doctor Psycho is able to beat him up with his bare fists and he gets his clock cleaned by Maxie Zeus, a powerless human and lesser villain. In fact, throughout the entire first season, besides his debut appearance's fist fight with Doctor Psycho, the only other (very brief) moment he was seen fighting was shapeshifting his arm into an axe to fend off the sentient tree monsters created by the Scarecrow. This is a far cry from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' where he is a difficult FinalBoss.
** Although the episode "Lover's Quarrel" shows [[spoiler: that he's capable of his more traditional feats of power when under Psycho's MindControl, possibly indicating that his fighting prowess is hampered by his love of "acting" rather than physical weakness]].
* AffablyEvil: Is one of the friendliest members of Harley's crew, after King Shark.
* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Gender identity is always a complex issue when talking about free-form shapeshifters (it's not, after all, something that our understanding of gender and sexuality has had to seriously address so far), but Clayface makes it especially difficult - his ShapeshifterDefaultForm is male and apparently quite comfortable being so, but he only ever attempts any form of romance (whether it be seducing someone for a mission or dating off the clock) when wearing a female form.
* AmbiguouslyGay: When he expresses romantic or sexual interest, it's only ever in men. The 'ambiguous' part comes from the fact that while his ShapeshifterDefaultForm is male, he prefers to approach them as women - see AmbiguousGenderIdentity above.
* BadBadActing: Just like his depiction in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', Clayface is such a bad actor that he rarely ever fools anybody even with his shapeshifting.
* BrainBleach: He throws his eyeballs away upon seeing the carnage left by the Queen of Fables. If anything, he throws them too early, as she follows up by [[FedToPigs cleaning the crime scene]] in a manner [[GoryDiscretionShot too gruesome even for the audience.]]
* BritishTeeth: Has crooked yellow teeth, plus he speaks in a British accent.
* CampGay: So campy that he can play a dramatic college girl as easily as breathing and he's all for transforming into a woman to seduce men more than once.
* ChewingTheScenery: Creator/AlanTudyk is clearly having a ball playing a hammy actor UpToEleven.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Because of his ComplexityAddiction he ends up doing this frequently. When confronted with Red Riding Hood's wolf - a wolf dressed up as an elderly lady - he turned himself into Grandpapa Wolf.
* ComplexityAddiction: Due to his flair for the dramatic, every single character of his must require some kind of elaborate back-story and/or hidden darkness, or else he can't find the motivation to play them. When tasked with ad-libbing the role of a delivery guy to distract Maxie Zeus, his idea is "a delivery guy who is also Maxie's long-lost son", which winds up exposing him as a fraud.
* TheDitz: He demonstrates an incredible level of stupidity. He thought that a tank could shoot invisible missiles, has blown his cover more than once, and it took him a moment to realize that the Big Bad Wolf that the Queen of Fables summoned was not actually a grandmother. He than tried to confuse the wolf by shapeshifting into another wolf ''right in front of it'' and pretending to be its husband. Psycho even pointed out that the wolf was actually a male one wearing a dress and not a female one, so this attempt made no sense even in context. His stupidity is even lampshaded in "Thawing Hearts", when an annoyed Dr. Psycho shouts "God your stupidity is incredible!"
* DramaPreservingHandicap: If he was smart enough to use his shapeshifting properly for infiltration and combat, he'd be the most dangerous and versatile member of Harley's crew by an enormous margin. He isn't, so he's just useful but unreliable.
* DumbIsGood: He's a genuine NiceGuy who's both the least intelligent and least actively murderous member of Harley's team, to the point where he has only ever been seen using violence in defense of himself or the rest of the crew.
* EffeminateVoice: He uses a campy voice when he transforms into a woman to interpret female "roles".
* TheFace: He's the uh, most, uh, '[[LargeHam flamboyant]]' person in the group. At the same time, he ''is'' fairly social and cultured, having introduced King Shark to the group.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Frequently tends to forget about his many many abilities, including...
* IronButtmonkey: Because his clay body renders him largely invulnerable to serious harm, he's been on the receiving end of amusing injuries. Maxie Zeus beats him up, he loses his arm and has to spend most of the episode trying to get it back, and Aquaman beheads him for trying to pose as Superman.
* HiddenDepths: He's not that good of an actor, but he turns out to be quite a good singer.
* LargeHam: As a thespian, he seems incapable of giving a subtle performance. This can actually work in his favor if he impersonates someone who's just as hammy as himself; in "L.O.D.R.SV.P." his disguise as Aquaman is entirely believable and manages to fool two Atlantean guards.
* MasterActor: He thinks he's an amazing actor who can fool anyone with his performances. While his shapeshifting does help with that, he's usually too much of a ham to be taken seriously.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Clayface is kinda bad at villainy in this series, and is only useful as an actor/distraction, and even then it rarely works.
* MorphicResonance: When infiltrating the Iceberg Lounge, his waiter character "Francois" has the same ghastly teeth as he does, a rare slip for a normally talented shapeshifter. [[RuleOfFunny It would've gained more notice if Penguin was the kind of guy to actually pay attention to the help, or if the rest of the crew weren't in even worse disguises.]]
* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: Tends to introduce himself as "it is I, [current identity]!" and will often drop into his disguises' backstories at a drop of a hat.
* MrImagination: Whenever he transforms, he makes up with an elaborated backstory and profile for the character he's playing, to the annoyance of his teammates and whoever he's distracting at the moment.
* NiceGuy: He's an annoying loudmouth, but he's polite, friendly, kind-hearted, and generally not villainous at all outside of his choice of employers. He and King Shark even agree when Batgirl states they are more [[AntiHero anti heroes]] than villains.
* NoodleIncident: He apparently had a bad review of his acting in the past which was worse than literally getting his head sliced off for it.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: He tends to lose his grip on whatever fake voice he's using whenever he gets the chance to talk about his characters' backstories.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: He can call back any parts of him that get cut off or separated, as long as he can see them and they aren't blocked by something.
* RunningGag: Every time he transforms, he sprays clay in every direction.
* ShapeshiftingSeducer: He suggests a plan to seduce the mayor by transforming himself into a woman, and cases Kord Industries by transforming into a woman and seducing a member of the staff.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he's a great actor, but he's anything but.
* TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter: The only clothes he ever wears are part of his transformations.
* ThoseTwoGuys: His dynamic with King Shark, which gets even more pronounced after [[spoiler:Doctor Psycho splits from the crew.]] His bombastic personality is often contrasted with King Shark's more down-to-earth demeanor.
* TookALevelInBadass: He's been far more helpful to the group in Season 2. It's stated that the plan to save the frozen Harley from Penguin was his idea, and when invading Riddle U, he used his disguise work to immediately take suspicion off Harley and Ivy. This extends to combat, as he's much more active in fights than he was in Season 1.
* TrulySingleParent: After one of his limbs cut off, it gains sentience and calls Clayface "Dad".
* UnskilledButStrong: On multiple levels. He's not much of a fighter and not much of an actor, but he's got a superpower that's incredibly useful for both of those jobs. Everything he does ends up as a tug of war between his ineptitude and his massive natural advantages.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can take the form of humans of either sex and animals.
* WickedCultured: For a given meaning of ''wicked'', at least. Say what you will about his abilities as an actor, he ''is'' knowledgeable about Shakespeare (what with being a thespian) and he ''can'' whip up fairly complicated stories at a moment's notice.
* WillfullyWeak: He deliberately chooses to be infiltrator/spy for the Quinn Crew than use his powers to his full potential. [[spoiler:When Doctor Psycho starts controlling his mind, Clayface is able to change size and become a force to be reckoned with.]]

[[folder:King Shark]]
!!King Shark (Nanaue)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_shark_1.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"Is that a shark joke? If so, it's very funny."]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Ron Funches
A happy, easily excited, but ''very'' bloodthirsty shark man.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Harley complained that she couldn't "get a bite" on her website profile, it seems like DudeNotFunny is about to apply when he very seriously asks if that was supposed to be a shark joke. Then he bursts out laughing while saying it was a good one.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He's a lot more cute and less scary-looking than his comic book counterpart.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: He's an UnskilledButStrong BoisterousBruiser in the comics. Here, he's a competent computer hacker.
* AffablyEvil: He acts more like an excitable ManChild most of the time than a monstrous shark. His voice actor flat-out describes him as a great person in everything except ethics.
* ArrangedMarriage: His father, a king, forces him into a political marriage to keep two shark kingdoms from going to war. Neither he nor his wife-to-be are especially interested, but this ends up working to their advantage when they both realise they can just make it an open relationship and live their lives almost entirely separately from each other.
* BadassBoast:
** After it's revealed that the Queen of Fable's wolf was killed:
-->'''Clayface:''' How did you manage to hollow out the innards of that beast?
-->'''King Shark:''' Well, a lot of people ask me who would win between a wolf and a shark. (Spits out bone) It's a shark.
* BenevolentBoss: Zig-zagged. He became boss of the prison when he was briefly incarcerated. He utilized his appearance with some added physical threats to make the other inmates comply with his demands, but also maintains that he doesn’t want to harm his underlings, since he "Like[s] being cool boss".
* BerserkButton: Doesn't appreciate the term "fish" to describe new prisoners.
-->'''King Shark:''' Now fellas, look, I know it's all in fun but ''[[SuddenlyShouting WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THAT WORD?!]]''\\
'''Prisoner 1:''' Oh, yeah. Sorry King.\\
'''Prisoner 2:''' Yeah, sorry about that.\\
'''King Shark:''' Aw, they're learning. Baby steps, right Harley? '''''[[SuddenlyShouting I WILL KILL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS IF I HAVE TO!!!]]'''''
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Normally, he's a nice, geeky, humanoid shark monster. Let him smell blood and you lose the 'nice' and 'geeky' parts.
* {{Bloodlust}}: He's normally meek and polite, but if he smells even a drop of blood he turns into a killing machine. Normally he uses smelling salts to avoid the issue, but they don't work so well in the water.
* CainAndAbel: He killed his brother when he accidentally cut his knee in a fight, which triggered King's bloodlust and drove him into a murderous frenzy. King is guilt-ridden for doing this and it explains his discomfort with blood.
* CharacterDevelopment: In a bizarre fashion, King Shark gets increasingly more comfortable with killing people as the series goes on, to the point his murderous personality shift upon smelling blood mostly disappears.
* CuteAndPsycho: He's an adorably nice computer geek until he smells blood or someone uses "fish" as an insult. He then turns into a murderous monster and you remember he's a dangerous villain. Even without anyone pressing his {{Berserk Button}}s, he'll still bite the head off of anyone in his way.
* CuteGiant: He is a giant SharkMan who is ironically enough, quite cute, especially with his friendly demeanor.
* DoubleMeaning: King Shark says he can't handle blood at the idea of being the shark in their shark tank. It is later revealed that the smell of blood actually makes him go feral with {{Bloodlust}} and causes him to actually try to kill Robin when he nosebleeds into the tank. Doctor Psycho and Clayface admit that they both thought King Shark meant he was AfraidOfBlood.
* TheEngineer: Besides being a stellar hacker, he can build and modify vehicles and equipment, such as turning a regular car into a death car with a gatling gun.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Is disturbed by Harley's declaration she's going to murder Robin, a[[note]] granted, ''incredibly'' annoying[[/note]] child.
--->'''Ivy:''' If you do it, you validate what everyone's saying, that Robin's your nemesis.\\
'''Shark:''' ''Also'' you'd be a child killer, which ''some'' may argue is worse.
** He drops his typical LargeHam demeanor after watching Clayface WaterfallPuke out clay that is then reabsorbed into his body.
--->'''Shark''': I do not understand how you live with yourself.
** He also was very uncomfortable with the idea of being the ThreateningShark circling around Robin and had to be told repeatedly that they weren't asking him to eat him. Of course, getting a whiff of Robin's blood via a bleeding nose caused him to lose all restraint, but his reaction to blood was one of the reasons why he was against doing the act in the first place.
*** He also seemed reluctant to play a negative stereotype of sharks. When Clayface volunteers to be the shark and describes his interpretation, King Shark is convinced to do it himself.
** He only eats humans as part of business but tries to avoid women and children (until his accidental blood frenzy), and swore he wouldn't kill old people.
* EvilGenius: He was brought onto Harley's crew for his technical know-how.
* FaceOfAThug: By supervillain standards at least. He's actually a lot more happy-go-lucky and dorky than his appearance would suggest. That is, as long as he doesn't [[UnstoppableRage smell blood]].
* GeniusBruiser: He's a computer expert and knowledgeable about the failings of the prison industrial complex. He's also the most physically powerful member of Harley's crew.
* TheHeart: Ironically he's one of the nicest members of Harley's crew despite being a humanoid shark.
* ImAHumanitarian: He eats people, both for business and for pleasure. When he sees a diver in a fishtank at the Legion of Doom headquarters, he reacts like he's just seen a free buffet.
* LargeHam: Most of his dialogue is delivered AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS!
* MadeOfIron: Doesn't even flinch when Harley breaks a wooden bat on his face and he reacts with only a lowkey "Ow?"
* ManBitesMan: His go-to move in a fight is to take a bite out of whoever he needs gone.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: If he gets a whiff of blood he'll become feral and attack the source to eat them. [[spoiler: He tries to eat Robin and Wonder Woman, and he tragically ate his own brother when he accidentally cut the latter's leg during a scrap.]]
* NiceGuy: Unlike Clayface and Psycho, he doesn't need Ivy to convince him to risk his life to help Harley in "Being Harley Quinn". He and Clayface also both agree with Batgirl when she states that she doesn't really see the crew as villains.
* PlayfulHacker: A competent hacker.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: "Bachelorette" reveals King Shark is the crown prince of the shark kingdom, but had run away to avoid an ArrangedMarriage.
* SharkMan: He's a large shark-human hybrid with rows of sharp teeth.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He wears minuscule pince-nez glasses when playing the EvilGenius.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He can talk to fish, but doesn't speak Dolphin. He knows a little Porpoise, though, but...[[note]] he was cut off, but Porpoise likely is to Dolphin like Spanish is to French or Portuguese.[[/note]]
* ThreateningShark: He's a generally [[AffablyEvil surprisingly friendly]] SharkMan, but he is still a supervillain who has eaten people.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Clayface, especially after [[spoiler:Doctor Psycho defects.]] Clayface's constant dramatics make King Shark look even more normal in comparison. It's also revealed that the two knew each other before they became part of Harley's crew, as Clayface is the one who contacted King Shark.
* TheToothHurts: The Season 1 finale has the Joker rip out many of King Shark's teeth and use them to make a necklace.
** He also ends up trying to bite into Wonder Woman's unbreakable bracelets when they fight in "Lover's Quarrel", which ends up breaking his front teeth.

[[folder:Frank the Plant]]
!!Frank the Plant
->'''Voiced by:''' JB Smoove
Ivy's giant talking venus fly trap.
----
* AndIMustScream: He claims to have spent ten years in a dog park before Ivy made him anthropomorphic, implying he was conscious the entire time.
* BizarreAlienBiology: In addition to flowering eyes growing out of stalks on either side of him, he's shown to have a tiny buttocks on the back of his "head", in spite of not having legs or the kind of digestive system that would need it.
* CanonForeigner: One of the few characters made specifically for the show.
* CommutingOnABus: Frank seems to vanish from the screen anytime the plot doesn't really need him, he was away from a few episodes in Season 1, and Season 2 does the same; meanwhile everyone else in Harley's crew is always seen, in all episodes.
* EveryoneHasStandards: As much of a jerk he is, he’s furious that the Joker killed Howie Mandel.
* {{Expy}}: To Audrey 2 of ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'' being a trash-talking man-eating plant with a penchant for insulting and lowering the self-esteem of those around him. He's also named after that film's director Creator/FrankOz.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Openly obnoxious and rude, completely apathetic to Harley's problems, and has no problem letting bad things happen just to see a reaction. But ironically, he's not as bad as a lot of the show's other villains. Despite him being a grade-A jerk most of the time, he's ultimately loyal to Ivy and does understand how much Harley means to her. In "Bensonhurst", he drives to pick up Harley first to help rescue Ivy when he finds out that she's in trouble. [[spoiler:He later joins Clayface and King Shark in helping Harley escape from Arkham, though she turns them down.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** When Ivy claims [[IWorkAlone she works alone]], Frank points out her [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]] given her reliance on plants, not to mention using him as a servant.
** In response to Harley wanting to break into the facility holding Ivy, Frank states Harley will get shot and killed if she goes in alone.
* ManEatingPlant: He's a mutated venus flytrap and he's shown an appetite for humans. In the first episode, he ate a kid and his parents offscreen and [[VomitIndiscretionShot barfs up their skeletons]].
* NoSympathy: After Harley confides to him that she's realized the Joker doesn't actually love her, he responds with this:
-->'''Frank:''' Oh boo-''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]''-hoo! [[AndIMustScream I spent ten years in a dog park]]. Come talk to me when a St. Bernard shits on your face!
* PhraseCatcher: "Shut up, Frank!", which Ivy yells at him whenever he annoys her.
* TeamPet: A pet that speaks, snarks, and swear. [[spoiler:After Doctor Psycho quits the crew, Frank the Plant starts taking his place, attending Kite Man's bachelor party and accompanying Clayface and King Shark on their Arkham jailbreak.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: He has no issue eating a kid. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Or their parents.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"I'm back baby!"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JasonAlexander
Ivy's grouchy landlord who also happens to be a cyborg.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: He's far more skilled and versatile than his comics counterpart, being able to singlehandedly take down numerous goons and even ''transform into a sedan.''
* AlterKocker: Much like his comics incarnation, though he avoids the YiddishAsASecondLanguage.
* BrainUploading: His consciousness is stored in his mechanical eye, and can be accessed by plugging a phone jack into a TV. [[spoiler:After his HeroicSacrifice, he uses this to upgrade to a stand mixer so he can help Kite Man finish the mind control blocker to fight against Dr. Psycho.]]
* {{Cyborg}}: He's got a bionic arm and leg, though the latter is superfluous since he's in a wheelchair.
* DisposingOfABody: His main job back when he was a CIA agent was to be a "go-to cleaner" whenever a mess happened and they needed someone to get rid of the corpses.
* EvilFeelsGood: Wishes to join Harley's crew and get back into villainy, since nearly burning them made him feel alive again.
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler: I REGRET [[BaitAndSwitch LOTS OF THINGS!]]]]
* GrumpyOldMan: He's an elderly man in a perpetually foul mood.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Sy blows himself up to allow Harley, Gordon, and The Joker to escape from Dr. Psycho.]]
* IKnowAGuy: He has connections to such villains as Black Mamba and Henry Kissinger.
* {{Irony}}: The disabled CIA spook gets his car towed for parking in a handicap spot because he doesn't want to register with the government.
* ItsAllMyFault: He blamed himself for his sister Mirielle being turned into an octopus monster because one of her hybrid mutation experiments WentHorriblyWrong when she was trying to create the octopus-monkey he asked her to make.
* JewishComplaining: Constantly complains about Ivy's guests.
* NobleDemon: A GrumpyOldMan and war criminal though he may be, he's nothing but helpful to Harley's crew once he joins. [[spoiler:He even performs a HeroicSacrifice to help Harley, Gordon, and The Joker escape from Dr. Pscyho.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Via BrainUploading. As it turns out, his consciousness is stored in his cybernetic eye, which allows him to be revived as a stand mixer.]]
* PainfulTransformation: His transformation into a sedan is shown to be very bloody and very painful. Changing back is even more painful.
* PunnyName: '''Sy Borg'''man is a man with robotic parts. He is literally a cyborg.
* RacistGrandpa: He's implied to have some very un-PC views. It's treated like FantasticRacism when he mistakes King Shark for a pet.
* RedScare: One of his rules is "No commies."
* RetiredBadass: He's a retired CIA fixer who was legendary (not always in positive ways) for his ability to make even the biggest, messiest problems disappear.
* RetiredMonster: Again, CIA fixer during the Cold War. Superman explicitly calls him a war criminal, and he's both open and quite unrepentant about the monstrous things he used to be involved in.
** He gets Vietnam flashbacks in the first episode of Season 2, which are implied to be ''enjoyable'' to him.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: He's a little out there; when King Shark calls him xenophobic, Sy apparently doesn't recognize the word and mistakes it for a reference to ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess''.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: He's quite old and not terribly concerned with politeness.
* SeniorSleepCycle: He falls asleep randomly throughout ''Harley Quinn Highway''.
* ShoePhone: He has a phone built into his bionic leg. In his old age, however, he complains that the buttons are hard to read.
* SixthRanger: He doesn't formally join the crew until near the end of Season 1.
* SuperWheelchair: His wheelchair is equipped with all sorts of gadgets. Guns, a backhoe, a helicopter. The latter would be more impressive if it didn't have trouble lifting more than one person. And if he remembered to keep the diesel topped off.
* SupportPartyMember: For most of season one. After joining Harley's crew, he only goes with them on one mission (to steal a sarcophagus) and doesn't even join them in the Legion of Doom. Harley outright states at one point that he was never really part of the crew. This gets averted later on when he helps them save Ivy.
* TokenEvilTeammate: As a retired war criminal and a CIA agent during the Cold War, he's been involved in more serious, professional evil than most of the gang, and he carries the attitude over. They recruit him after he almost kills them all.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He has implants that allow him to turn into a sedan decked out with weaponry. The exact process of doing so however... [[BodyHorror isn't pretty]].

!!Supervillains

!!!The Legion of Doom

[[folder:In General]]
----
* CardCarryingVillain: All of them are completely open about their villainy.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Doctor Psycho is expelled for calling Wonder Woman the C-word.
* LegionOfDoom: [[TropeNamer Duh]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The higher-ups in the Legion display some pretty sexist behavior, as the scarcity of female supervillains in their ranks can attest to, [[{{Hypocrite}} yet apparently Doctor Psycho saying the C-word is the line they're not willing to cross]] ([[HypocriteHasAPoint Though as it turns out, neither would Darkseid]]).
* PunchClockVillain: Their entire schtick. In this show, being a supervillain is like a career path, and the Legion is a fancy big-time corporation that villains aspire to join. They have meetings to discuss evil plans, have a pool of henchmen they can request or be loaned out for schemes, and even have a coffee lounge where they gossip like co-workers.
* UncertainDoom:
** [[spoiler:The Joker blew up the Legion of Doom headquarters at the end of Season 1 and talks about the Legion like it's been destroyed, but no bodies are shown or specific deaths confirmed, so any number of the Legion's members could have survived or just been out of the building at the time.]]
** Bane, Penguin, the Riddler, and Two-Face return in Season 2 -- with new addition Mr. Freeze -- to form their new organization, the "Injustice League".
** Luthor later turns up just fine in Season 2's Episode 9, during an operation to take over Themyscira.
** Several more members turn up as guests at Ivy's (aborted) wedding, so we can assume that few if any were casualties of Joker's coup.

[[folder:The Joker]]
!!ComicBook/TheJoker
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joker_smiles_before_killing_scarecrow.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk
----
* AceCustom: A lot, if not, all of the Joker's weapons and gear have his color motifs (green and purple) or his face on them.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: During Season 2 when he's sane, amnesiac, and normal-looking, he's surprisingly handsome and fit. Every other occasion where he's depicted to have a normal appearance, he's always shown ranging from ordinary looking to utterly nerdy.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Believe it or not he's actually worse towards Harley here than he is normally. He's just as abusive and emotionally manipulative as normal but his ego is so bad here that the thought of Harley choosing to leave him drives him up the wall and takes greater pains to keep her around when the risk presents itself. His usual view of Harley is that she's a useful minion but otherwise is as ambivalent about whether she leaves or not as he is about anything else and will likely try killing her more out of principle than out of personal grievance.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's [[TookALevelInKindness mellowed out considerably]] after briefly losing his memories, and he genuinely comes to love both Bethany and her kids. He also gives genuine advice to Harley regarding her relationship with Ivy.
* AlphaBitch: Acts like every other villain -- even heavy-hitters like Two-Face, the Scarecrow, Bane and the Penguin -- is part of his devoted entourage or personal goon squad, and orders them around and mistreats them without any regard to their feelings, just because he's considered the #1 criminal in Gotham. Harley embarrasses him by publicly calling him out for being such a dick in "A High Bar", even referring to his behavior as bullying; although he tries to laugh the situation off, the others agree with her that he can be pretty cruel at times.
* AmbiguouslyBi: He is Harley's ex, but his relationship with Batman is treated romantically. Harley is also not convinced when he denies having sex with Bane and the Scarecrow.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent:: [[spoiler:Season 2 shows that being dunked into his own memory-wiping acid turned him into a kindhearted, normal everyman who genuinely cares about his girlfriend and her kids, pretty much the opposite of his usual persona, with no memory of being a supervillain.]]
* ArcVillain: The main antagonist of Season 1.
* AttentionWhore: He doesn't like ''any'' other villain hogging up the news spotlight.
* AxCrazy: As per the norm with the Joker, he kills almost anyone near him ([[BadBoss even his own men]]) within seconds without any thought or reason, even labeling himself an "[[Film/TheDarkKnight agent of chaos]]".
* BadBoss: He shoots and blows up his own goons whenever he feels annoyed or bored.
* BadassInANiceSuit: As is usual for the character, the Joker takes charge as an A-list villain in a sharp purple suit and tie.
* BaitTheDog: Throughout most of the "A Seat at the Table" episode, the Joker treats Harley with respect, acknowledges her accomplishments and acts as if he finally takes her seriously as a fellow supervillain instead of a disposable minion. Near the end, he does what Harley always dreamed about by taking her with him to escape from Batman instead of leaving her behind... And then pushes Harley out of the helicopter. As Batman says to Harley, some things never change.
-->'''Joker''': Oh, Harley! I couldn't leave you on that boat, I need you...[[ThrowTheDogABone for this.]]\\
''(Joker kisses Harley, and then sees the Batwing fly close by)''\\
'''Joker''': '''AND ''[[YankTheDogsChain THIS!]]'''''\\
''(Throwing Harley off the helicopter, the Joker laughs maniacally as he watches her descent)''
* TheBartender: [[spoiler:His sane self shows up working as a bartender in season 2.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: In "The Final Joke" he makes a chemical bath to erase Harley's memories and distinctive bleached skin, to turn her into a "nobody" he won't have to care about anymore. [[spoiler:At the end of the episode, Harley and Ivy throw him into it instead, reducing him to his regular amnesiac Pre Joker rather than the Clown Prince of Crime.]]
* TheBully: He takes every chance he gets trying to belittle, upstage, sabotage, and/or humiliate Harley whether she's attending a bar mitzah or stealing a nuclear warhead from the Russians. He's hardly any better to his peers in the Legion of Doom, as he casually bosses them around, insults them to their faces, and [[EnemyEatsYourLunch steals food right off their plates]].
* BullyingADragon: Insults and orders around his fellow villains but especially Bane-who could snap him in half without Venom. Clearly they only put up with him out of fear, until Harley points out that he has no powers whatsoever, and they don't have to listen to him.
* CannotTellAJoke: While he still gets a few good ones, this incarnation of the Joker is just plain bad at most of his jokes. The media consider Riddler funnier, and he can't stand it when Harley says one of his stories is hilarious but doesn't laugh. At one point, he explains to a captive Gotham that his off-screen henchmen found his last joke funny, though no laughter could be heard.
* TheConfidant: [[spoiler:The sane Joker, of all people, is the one who offers to lend an ear to Harley's love life problems with Ivy.]]
* ConsummateLiar: Whenever the Joker makes a confession or promise, especially to Harley, you can be sure he's telling lies to manipulate her. As Ivy says, the Joker always lies should be surprise to no one but Harley.
* CrazyJealousGuy: When he finds out Batman didn't come to stop him from robbing a bank because he's fighting Harley, he gets pissed off at Harley trying to steal "his" Batman.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: He '''''cannot''''' stand raisins. When Harley gave him pudding full of chocolate chips in "Til Death Do Us Part", he is so riled up by the Riddler's newfound infamy that he is quick to assume the pudding has raisins instead and ''[[DisproportionateRetribution shoots it to crumbs.]]''
* DomesticAbuse: During his entire relationship with Harley, he emotionally manipulated, lied, and repeatedly abandoned her. Harley put up with it for so long because she deluded herself into thinking he loved her... until he doesn't hesitate to drop her into what both think is acid just so the Riddler doesn't take the credit for killing Batman. It pisses him off so much when she finally leaves him, he sics his goons on her (which only leads to his men getting killed or fucked up and his evil lair destroyed).
* TheDreaded: Why he can act like an AlphaBitch and order around even Gotham A-Listers like they're cannon fodder -- he pretty clearly scares the hell out of them. It doesn't last though, when Harley points out to the other Gotham supervillains that he's being a bully to people stronger than him.
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: [[spoiler:His new girlfriend loves him and stays with him even after he's turned back evil.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Even after returning to his original evil self, Joker still loves his new girlfriend and her kids. He admits nothing will ever change him being a murderous psycho, but he has found people he truly cares about for the first time.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** He's genuinely disturbed at Commissioner Gordon's SanitySlippage because in his eyes, all he did was "paralyze" his "partner". Now keep in mind that he ''intended'' to drive Gordon crazy in the source material, so either [[UpToEleven this was not the amount of crazy he aimed for]] or [[ButForMeItWasTuesday this was collateral damage for something that happened along the way]].
** He complains about the Queen of Fables indulging in alcohol, saying it's only Wednesday.
* EvilLaugh: He wouldn't be the Joker without it.
* FamilyMan: As unbelievable as it is, [[spoiler:sane Joker finds himself a nice girlfriend and loves her two kids as if they were his own. After Harley turns him back into his evil self, Joker still loves his new family, but he's not going to quit being a serial killer.]]
* FoeRomanceSubtext: As Harley notes, the Joker "only loves Batman". In one episode, he breaks into a fight between Harley and Batman and raves at her about trying to steal "his Batman" and proclaims on national television that he and Batman are "together".
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite his status as #1 criminal in Gotham, most if not all the rest of the rogues fear or just straight-up dislike him either because of his DomesticAbuse on Harley, or just [[WithFriendsLikeThese because he's a dick]].
** To illustrate this trope, when Harley jokes with the Scarecrow, Two-Face, and Bane, they laugh in genuine matter. But when the Joker mocks Harley, their laughs sound more forced.
* GoodFeelsGood: [[spoiler:Played with. After losing his memories, he spends an idyllic six months as a NiceGuy suburban dad. When he gets his memories back, he decides that it was a much better and healthier lifestyle than his previous one... and decided to be both an ideal husband and father with a loving family and an A-list supervillain. The last we see of him, he's actually making it work.]]
* GoodStepmother: A male example. [[spoiler:He really loves his girlfriend's children and they quickly accept him because he got them a puppy. Impressively, he manages to keep it going even after he gets his previous memories back and becomes a supervillain again.]]
* HateSink: Since this series is meant to be the story of Harley Quinn breaking free of his grip on her, he's made as despicable as possible to heighten the catharsis of her triumphs over him. His DomesticAbuser traits are ramped up to make him a misogynistic asshole who treats Harley like a piece of property and hates women in general, he's a raging narcissist who makes everything about himself and cares for no one else, and the usual [[TheDreaded dominance and fear]] he evokes in his fellow supervillains is framed like a petty AlphaBitch bossing around their cronies. And he also retains his usual schtick of being a mass-murdering cackling psychopath. [[spoiler:He drops several of his more unpleasant traits upon his return in season 2. He's still a mass-murdering psychopath, but his time with Bethany while amnesiac makes him realize what true love is. He also no longer is focused on or seemingly even interested in claiming Harley like property.]]
* HesBack: [[spoiler: Harley reluctantly shoves a sane amnesiac Joker into the acid vat in order to restore his memories, being that only the Joker knows where the Justice League is being imprisoned. Luckily, his six months of amnesia left an impression, and while he's still a highly dangerous supervillain, he's much less of a jerk.]]
* HijackedByGanon:
** In the second half of the first season, the focus shifted from him to Lex Luthor as the main villain, as Luthor is the one manipulating Harley and Ivy and is implied to be behind the abduction of Ivy via the Scarecrow. [[spoiler:Then the penultimate episodes of the season reveals the Scarecrow was actually working for ''him'', and he blows up the Legion of Doom and becomes the FinalBoss of the season.]]
** Subverted in the second season. [[spoiler:Harley reverses his amnesia in a GodzillaThreshold moment to help deal with Dr. Psycho, but rather than becoming the new BigBad (as one would normally expect from him), he's been changed enough by his time without his memories to remain a help rather than a hindrance. They even part on reasonably cordial terms once she no longer needs his assistance.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: He says women cannot be funny, meanwhile his favorite movie is ''Film/LegallyBlonde''.
** After successfully stealing a nuclear bomb Harley failed to make off with, Harley accuses him of only being successful because he has a bunch of goons who do whatever he says. The Joker denies this, and then orders his goons to throw Harley out the door, and they respond "Whatever you say."
* IGaveMyWord: The only good thing that can be said about him was that he kept his promise and released Harley's crew when she turned herself over to him and wore her old costume.
* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: [[spoiler:When he was with Harley, he only used her as a plaything for mind games and abuse because she was fascinated with the famous killer clown and believed anything he told her that would make her feel needed. With his new girlfriend Bethany, he met and fell in love with her when he was an amnesiac average Joe and her headstrong personality won't ever let him manipulate her like he could with Harley.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Batman and Harley describe him as a sociopathic narcissist, and his portrayal in the show embodies both the sociopath and the narcissist. He forces people to go along with whatever he's doing, and what upsets him more than anything else is Harley getting away from him to be her own superperson, whether heroic or villainous. Even regarding Batman, he doesn't give a damn who he is or why he exists, only that he exists for his own rivalry and amusement. [[spoiler:This seems to no longer be the case after he regains his memories, as the affection he developed towards Bethany and her kids while sane remained even though he has no intentions of turning back from being a serial killer.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a slimy and manipulative misogynist who verbally abuses even the villains he calls friends. and murders his own henchmen at random.
* KavorkaMan: Despite his clownish looks, he is able to charm women to him, not easily but good enough.
* KillAndReplace: The very first scene of the series shows him killing a guy and making a literal bodysuit out of his skin.
* LaughingMad: He's usually less prone to it than other versions, but any chance he gets to do something exceptionally cruel to others ''really'' sets him off; after [[spoiler:murdering Ivy with a harpoon and seeing Harley break down in tears]], he can barely do anything but cackle at her grief.
* LostPetGrievance: His FreudianExcuse story has his AbusiveDad killing his beloved pet ferret. [[spoiler:Of course, it's a subversion because that story was actually about Ivy's ficus and Joker just stole it to buy Harleen's sympathy.]]
* LoveEpiphany: [[spoiler: He starts bringing up his relationship with Bethany seemingly just to taunt Harley about it only to realize mid-thought that he actually ''was'' in love with her.]]
* LoveIsAWeakness: In the SeasonFinale, he claims he was in love with Harley, which he views as a weakness that he must eliminate. [[spoiler:His time while amnesiac with Bethany makes him realize what true love is upon his return in season two.]]
* MadeOfIron: Survived both a chemical bathe, and being at the center of a city leveling earthquake.
* MakeUpIsEvil: Harley says he always stole her lipstick. He also seems to wear eyeshadow.
* MonsterClown
* {{Narcissist}}: Referred to as one by Harley and Batman. All the Joker cares about is himself, getting what he wants and having all the power and attention of Gotham for himself.
* NoHonorAmongThieves: Forced Harley to fend off Batman to buy him enough time to escape and never even bothered to come back for her despite his promises to do so.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: He would readily choose to have his PerkyFemaleMinion killed before letting another supervillain have the glory of killing his ArchNemesis Batman.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: He's in such a funk over Harley that when he tortures Batman and murders the Scarecrow, he's just bored.]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: As well as his long history of abusing Harley, the Joker is shown to be pretty slimy and misogynistic in general; when one of his henchmen suggests Harley is the funniest criminal in Gotham, he repeatedly shoots the guy in the chest, saying "women aren't funny" with the same dismissive tone an older stand-up might use when talking about female comics.
* {{Pride}}: His defining trait. The Joker won't ever accept anyone as his equal and has zero respect for his minions and other supervillains. Harley dumping him infuriates him because she's his "creation" and he won't ever accept her gaining independence from him. Even when pretending to praise Harley, he won't call her better than him.
* PsychopathicManchild: At his core, he's an overgrown, attention-seeking brat whose favorite game is brutally massacring people and playing with their minds.
* SecretIdentityApathy: [[spoiler:His already foul mood in "The Final Joke" is made considerably worse when the Scarecrow rips off Batman's cowl, as "half the fun" of their rivalry was not knowing that Batman was "some boring rich asshole with parental issues". Even after killing Scarecrow and still having Bruce at his mercy, rather than twist the knife over his enemy's childhood trauma, he just goes off on a petty rant about how [=WayneTech=] hasn't delivered on an electric car they promised last year.]]
* TheSociopath: Pretty much standard for the Joker. He talks about the horrible things he does with a blase demeanor, treats violence as a joke, manipulates Harley, is incredibly prideful, treats his own minions like they're disposable (if he doesn't outright kill them himself for petty reasons), is unpredictably violent, bullies his own colleagues, and shows no remorse for anything he does. Both Batman and Harley describe him as a "sociopathic narcissist" in the Season One finale. [[spoiler:He's still a violent serial killer upon his return in season two, but he actually seems to edge a bit away from this trope by wishing to maintain his connection with Bethany and her kids, seemingly showing that he's developed the capacity to care about other people.]]
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: PlayedWith. [[spoiler:At the end of the first SeasonFinale, the Joker is rendered an amnesiac and completely sane. In season 2, Harley finds him as a normal man, but his original evil personality is still there, just dormant. The Joker's personality effectively regains full control after Harley pushes him into a chemical bath so that he can remember the location of the imprisoned Justice League. It's PlayedWith because while he tries to convince others that his normal persona meant nothing, the love that he developed for his new family as a normal man comes rushing back after he becomes the Joker again.]]
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: It's revealed in "Devil's Snare" that he plotted with the Scarecrow and the Queen of Fables to destroy the Legion of Doom and replace it with an organization devoted entirely to him.]]
* StatusQuoIsGod: [[spoiler:You didn't think the Joker would remain a sane amnesiac forever did you?]]
* StickyBomb: His WeaponOfChoice seems to be sticky explosive discs with his face plastered on them. His use of them actually causes his downfall in the first episode, as Harley steals a few from a crate full of them to destroy his hideout.
* TakingYouWithMe: Tries to inflict this on Harley, Ivy, Batman [[UpToEleven and seemingly]] ''all of Gotham'' as his final criminal act before his DeathOfPersonality.
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:A ''very'' minor but noticeable one upon his return ins season two. He's still a {{Jerkass}} and serial killer, but he seems to no longer be obsessed with possessing Harley, considering that he gives her some legitimate advice regarding her relationship with Poison Ivy. He also still wants to make his relationship with Bethany and her kids work, while he originally was completely obsessed with himself and Batman.]]
* TroubledButCute: What attracted Harley to him was believing the possibility that he was a human being traumatized in his childhood and in need of her help. Hearing his FreudianExcuse story with an AbusiveParent made her think she was right about him [[spoiler:until Ivy reveals he simply stole ''her'' FreudianExcuse to buy Harley's sympathy]].
* {{Understatement}}: He "paralyzed" Commissioner Gordon's "partner" and he's not sure why the commissioner's gone so crazy from it.
* VagueAge: The Scarecrow specifically says the Joker is 38 years old while the Clown Prince himself swears that off, saying he is only 25 years old. That goes in hand with the eternal mythos that he will never have a definitive background, and later with the updated lore that there’s even more than one person being the Joker.
* VictoryIsBoring: [[spoiler: Once he has imprisoned Batman and exposed his identity, he finds him boring and loses interest. That said, at the time this happens he is more obsessed with breaking Harley, enough so that it overrides even his rivalry with Batman.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Being faced with [[FateWorseThanDeath turning back to normal]] leaves him begging for his life.]]
* WeaponOfChoice: He primarily uses acid as his main weapon, often to disolve his victim alive.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Even among the villains he calls his friends, the Joker is casually rude and verbally abusive, and they just take it until Harley convinces them to stand up to him. [[spoiler: He also kills Scarecrow without second though when he unmasks Batman to improve the Joker's mood.]]
* YouGotSpunk: He said this word for word during his first meeting with Harley where the then psychiatrist showed him she wasn't afraid of him and fought off his attempts at retaining her. It was most likely what made him want to dominate her for the rest of their relationship.

[[folder:Lex Luthor]]
!!ComicBook/LexLuthor
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GiancarloEsposito
Superman's ArchEnemy, CEO of [=LexCorp=], and leader of the Legion of Doom.
----

* AmbiguouslyBrown: He's got rather dark skin, and is played by a black actor. It appears that this version of Lex Luthor is designed to look more like Lex as he appears in WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries, rather than the fairer skinned version in WesternAnimation/YoungJustice.
* BaldOfEvil: As typical, he doesn't have a single hair on his head.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He wouldn't be Lex if he wasn't this. In "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", he acts nothing but gracious and polite to Harley, while secretly scheming to use her to force Ivy to join the Legion.
* CardCarryingVillain: When he appears on the news to kick Doctor Psycho out of the Legion of Doom, he mentions Psycho does not represent the Legion's brand of evil.
* ComicallySerious: Much of the humor revolving around him comes from reacting to series' wacky situations with a straight face.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He kicks Doctor Psycho out of the Legion of Doom after he calls Wonder Woman and Giganta the C-word. Not that he respects women that much, but he at least has the decency to not insult them on national television.
* EvilCounterpart: Despite being Superman's ArchEnemy, Lex himself can be considered this to Bruce Wayne, both being public billionaires of their own cities and both are the only normals of their supergroups with Luthor being one of the villains.
* KarmaHoudini: Shows up during season 2 alive and well, so he more or less got away with trying to drive a wedge between Harley and Ivy.
* KnightOfCerebus: Not that he doesn't have comedic moments himself, but the moment he introduces himself to Harley is when Harley's relationships start becoming strained, shifting the show more into dramedy territory.
* ManipulativeBastard: This is Lex Luthor after all. When Ivy refuses to join the Legion of Doom, Luthor let Harley join with the apparent intent of driving a wedge between the two of them.
* MythologyGag: DCAU ethnically ambiguous Lex is back!
* PetTheDog: He's actually pretty supportive to Harley in her first LOD meeting, even agreeing with her about the over-complicated nature of the Joker's plan and affably explaining how the meetings work.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Despite disapproving of Doctor Psycho's misogyny, he displays quite a few sexist tendencies in his own right, as shown in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.". He doesn't bother to remember the name of the ''sole female member'' (Cheetah) of the Legion, and was willing to use Harley's desire to be in the Legion to force Ivy to join. Then there's the fact that he willingly hands Harley over to the Joker, whose mistreatment of her is well-known practically everywhere.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: He's virtually identical to his [[Franchise/TheDCAU DCAU]] incarnation, at least in looks.
* SlaveToPR:
** While his public firing of Dr. Psycho after he insulted women on live television twice looked like an EvenEvilHasStandards moments at first, his own sexist behaviour in private hints that it was more about keeping his [[VillainWithGoodPublicity public image]] than anything else.
** Taken to comedic extreme with the revelation that a local sex shop is ripping off the Legion's name, and all he can do is roll his eyes and let the matter play out in court since using "evil" methods would bring bad PR.
* TakeThat: One of the headlines during the breaking news segment of Wonder Woman and Doctor Psycho's fight is Lex launching a tirade against Superman on Twitter, which is generally a TakeThat towards Twitter rants by and towards prominent figures like politicians and celebrities.
* ToxicInc: One of the many divisions of Lexcorp is a company simply called "Planetwide Pavers".
* VillainousValor: He gets restrained by Ivy's plants, and doesn't even flinch.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Typical Lex Luthor, however this version is more honest about the fact he's a villain and leads the Legion of Doom, but nobody arrests him.

[[folder:The Scarecrow]]
!!ComicBook/TheScarecrow (Jonathan Crane)
[[quoteright:269:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_scarecrow.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Rahul Kohli
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Subverted. He is initially depicted as a friendly if a bit gossipy man, in a similar manner to Bane. [[spoiler:Then he kidnaps Ivy and starts harvesting her pheromones to use for his fear toxin.]]
* ArcVillain: [[spoiler:His kidnapping of Ivy and harvesting of her pheromones ends up making him the antagonist of episodes 10-12.]]
* BeneathTheMask: No pun intended, but while he appears to just be another Legion member who treats his work like a day job, he turns out to be just as much of a loon as his comic counterpart obsessed with spreading fear and destruction all over Gotham.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's introduced in a casual setting as the Legion's resident gossip and generally is presented as a friendly, personable man. [[spoiler:Then it's revealed he's working with the Joker and the Queen of Fables to abduct Ivy and use her pheromones to create a toxin that mutates Gotham's plantlife into giant tree monsters, and he's also complicit in the Joker's plan to blow up the Legion of Doom and take over Gotham for himself.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He seems like just another PunchClockVillain, but [[spoiler:it's then revealed that he ''willingly'' teamed up with the Joker and the Queen of Fables to destroy Gotham and the Legion of Doom in ''Devil's Snare'']].
* CoDragons: He and the Queen of Fables are revealed to be the Joker's by the end of the first season. However, the Joker holds him in far less esteem than he does the Queen of Fables. [[spoiler:His lack of creativity -- the Joker even sniffs at how "one-note" he is with his fear toxin -- and continuing deference to the stronger villain solidifies his position as the Joker's sidekick after his Gotham takeover. He even makes the fatal mistake of impulsively unmasking Batman, just because it's something he thinks Harley would do.]]
* CreativeSterility: The Joker mocks him for his evil schemes being "one-note" to using his fear toxin.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:A twofer. His face first gets melted off by acid, and his skull explodes shortly afterwards.]]
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:He's killed by the Joker]].
* DeathBySecretIdentity: [[spoiler:He's one of two people to find out Batman's secret identity but is killed by the Joker for unceremoniously unmasking Batman.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: Impulsively unmasks Batman without thinking about the Joker's response. The latter berates him, saying that he could have unmasked Batman from the start if he was actually interested in finding out his secret identity. The Scarecrow sadly pays for it with a face full of acid.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Subverted. He’s rather uncomfortable with the Joker's poor treatment of Bane. Doesn't stop him from joining him and helping him destroy the Legion of Doom (which Bane was a member of)'s lair.
** PlayedForLaughs example. While he's a supervillain, he considers the medical insurance industry to be the real villains.
* EvilBrit: Speaks with his voice actor's natural English accent in the show.
* FamousLastWords: "I'm sorry. Look, I must've misread the situation when you kept saying her name and reminiscing about all your memories together. Over and over and over and-".
* FauxAffablyEvil: While holding Ivy prisoner to extract her pheromones, he keeps his gossipy and chatty persona-even when giving a lethal dose of his fear toxin.
* GossipyHens: He's shown to be the Legion of Doom's office gossip.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: The Joker brutally murdering him by spraying acid into his face for unmasking Batman. Considering this guy is responsible for killing God knows how many people it's really hard to feel bad for him.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:The Joker douses him with a full squirt of his acid boutonniere in the Season 1 finale, graphically melting his head down to the bone on-screen and splattering it apart.]]
* MythologyGag:
** Joker's taunts about Scarecrow having nothing but fear gas? Comic Joker did the same.
** This isn’t the first time [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/ArkhamKnight Scarecrow unmasked Batman before getting screwed over by the Joker.]]]]
* NerdInEvilsHelmet: He and Bane have a bit of this dynamic, like when they disrupt a LOD meeting for a minute to discuss how a sequel to ''Up'' might work.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: After being introduced as another one of the Joker's punching bags, he really shows why his name is ''Scare''crow when he [[spoiler: captures Poison Ivy and extracts her pheromones to enhance his fear toxin. He then spreads the concoction through the earth, creating an army of evil mobile man-eating trees that proceed to rapidly build up a body count]].
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:Has one moments before the Joker prepares to kill him.]]
* UnexplainedRecovery: He drives the truck containing his fear toxin into Gotham's waters, and all we see left of him was his mask. Yet in the next episode, he's seen fighting Batman no worse for wear. Of course, there's little point dwelling on the subject [[spoiler:given what the Joker does to him afterwards.]]
* YesMan: He effectively serves as this to the Joker. This is best seen during the Legion of Doom meeting, where he constantly heaps praises on the Joker's rather convoluted and unnecessary plan while Harley and to a lesser extent Lex Luthor disagree.
* YourHeadAsplode: [[spoiler:After his head gets melted by the Joker's acid, his body collapses to the floor and causes his skull to shatter into a bloody paste.]]

[[folder:Black Manta]]
!!Black Manta (David)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PhilLaMarr
----
* ArchEnemy: To Aquaman, to the point where he is annoyed that Aquaman crashing a party held by the Legion of Doom has nothing to do with him.
* VillainOfAnotherStory: Is Aquaman's archenemy, but Aquaman isn't interested in fighting him when he appears.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Calendar Man]]
!!Calendar Man (Julian Day)
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk
A supervillain obsessed with committing crimes on holiday and specific dates.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Isn't smug and creepy like his serial killer portrayal in recent works.
* AffablyEvil: Despite being a dangerous killer and supervillain who gleefully participates in the Arkham riot, Calendar Man is nothing less than polite and pleasant when interacting with his fellow inmates. Furthermore, he has a wife and son who, despite his neglectful tendencies, seem to be close enough to him to not only visit him, but bring him gifts.
* BaldOfEvil: Known for his shaved head covered in number tattoos.
* DisappearedDad: He's not involved enough in his son's life to remember his birthday.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite not being very involved in their lives, his wife and son do seem to care for him.
* FatBastard: He's an obese villain.
* {{Irony}}: He's renowned for keeping dates yet he can't remember his own son’s birthday.
* LudicrousPrecision: Due to his obsession with dates, he can remember exactly how long Harley has been in Arkham with stunning accuracy (but, again, can't remember his son's birthday).
* TattooedCrook: He has the abbreviations for months of the year tattooed around his forehead.
[[/folder]]

!!!Injustice League
A group made of Two-Face, Bane, the Riddler, the Penguin and Mr. Freeze to take over Gotham in Season 2.

[[folder:In General]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: The Injustice League collectively serve as the main antagonists of the first half of Season 2. [[spoiler:Later on the Riddler teams up with Dr. Psycho to serve as the villains of the second half of the season.]]
* DwindlingParty: By episode 7, Penguin is killed off relatively early, Riddler is captured by Harley's crew, Mr. Freeze sacrifices himself for his wife, Two-Face is arrested by Gordon, and Bane was last seen stuck in a pit.
* LegionOfDoom: Albeit a smaller version, made up of only Gotham villains.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Two-Face]]
!!ComicBook/TwoFace (Harvey Dent)
->'''Voiced by:''' Andy Daly
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: On top of bearing none of the sympathetic qualities that made him a TragicVillain in the comics, this version of Dent is an extremely arrogant politician who is a SlaveToPR, willing to endanger hostages just to protect his political career.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Unlike most depictions of Two-Face in comics and other media, Dent seems to lack the SplitPersonality that caused him to become Two-Face in the first place. [[spoiler:His moniker was implied to be based upon Harley's insult at him for being a two-faced politician.]] Also, only once does his trademark two-headed coin ever appear.
* AdaptationalUgliness: Looks more thuggish on ''both'' sides.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His left half is a pale aquamarine color.
* AscendedExtra: He is little more than a {{mook}} for the Joker in one episode in Season 1. In Season 2, he becomes a founding member of the Injustice League, and becomes the de-facto leader once the Penguin and Mr. Freeze are killed and the Riddler is taken prisoner.
* BaldOfEvil: He's bald on the left half of his head.
* BrokenPedestal: When Harley first became a psychiatrist at Arkham, she looked up to Dent for his reputation as an honest politician. However, when Dent was willing to let a sniper shoot Harley to get at the Joker so he could protect his reputation, Harley gives Dent a SpitefulSpit and a "two-faced" crook.
* BullyingTheDragon: Despite the fact that Bane could easily snap him like a twig, he still bullies and heckles him at almost every turn.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Harley offhandedly remarks that Two-Face is blind in his left eye, something that is either implied or never brought up in previous adaptations[[note]]in fact, it's the Harley-centric graphic novel ''Comicbook/{{Harleen}}'' that touches upon the issue, by showing that Harvey's sight is damaged on the left eye due to it being bloodshot[[/note]].
* DueToTheDead: After [[spoiler:Mr. Freeze's death]], he keeps his seat open in his memory.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He agrees with the Scarecrow that the Joker's treatment of Bane is too harsh. [[{{Hypocrite}} Hypocritical]], considering how his own treatment of Bane is NotSoDifferent.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Two-Face is quite adept at faking friendliness to talk people into his way of thinking. [[EvilLawyerJoke Well, he was once a lawyer]].
* GunsAkimbo: He wields two guns simultaneously as part of his "duality" aesthetic.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Even before he got disfigured and became Two-Face he was still a {{Slimeball}} who cared about nothing but his own self advancement.
* ManipulativeBastard : Plays Bane, Gordon and Harley with ease, never losing his cool while pushing them in the direction he wants them to go.
* MythologyGag: His attitude back as the DA and Harley's past view of him are much in line with Creator/DCBlackLabel's story ''ComicBook/{{Harleen}}''.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:To his credit, he did leave Mr. Freeze's seat open in memoriam of his death.]]
* SlaveToPR: When he was still Harvey Dent, he ordered a sniper to shoot the Joker even when he took [[ShootTheHostage Harley as a hostage]], being more concerned about his PR at risk for letting the Joker escape.
* SleazyPolitician: When he was still Harvey Dent, he was the classic two-faced politician willing to kill complete innocents rather than risk losing popularity with the voters.
* StealthPun : This version of the character is very litterally two-faced.
* TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: While still Harvey Dent, while watching Batman kick the shit out of the Joker for bringing up his murder of Jason Todd, he starts munching on licorice and asks if anyone wants some.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In "A High Bar" he seemed to enjoy Harley’s company and thinks the Joker’s treatment of Bane and other supervillains is harsh and clearly disagrees with it. Season 2 goes pretty much the opposite route, depicting him as a sleazy, manipulative misogynist who goes out of his way to bully Bane and loathes Harley with a passion.

[[folder:Bane]]
!!ComicBook/{{Bane}}
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_bane.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' James Adomian
A villain hyped up on Venom, which gives him SuperStrength.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In terms of sheer strength, he is much stronger than his comic counterpart, overpowering Batman when he is using a suit of PoweredArmor.
* AdaptationalDumbass: Far from the calculating genius Bane was in the comics, this Bane is a childish oaf.
* AdaptationalWimp: At least in terms of spirit. This Bane is '''far''' more spineless than other portrayals, being a ButtMonkey, a BullyMagnet, and an ExtremeDoormat who constantly gets made fun of by other villains, gets no respect from them, and just lets them mistreat him. This is ''not'' how other villains treat Bane in the comics or most other portrayals, and if anyone ''were'' to mistreat him the way he is in this show, he would snap their spine in an instant.
* AffablyEvil: For a ruthless villain, he's a rather pleasant and polite fellow. It's telling that he actually gets invited to Ivy's wedding, even though he helped put Harley on ice.
* BadBoss: When [[spoiler: King Shark]] takes too long to plant a bomb, Bane remotely detonates it, not caring that he grievously wounded his henchman.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He steps on defenseless fishes just to be an asshole to Aquaman.
* BerserkButton: After all the disrespect that gets heaped on him, what ends up really setting him off in a deadly rampage is realizing that a colleague blatantly lied to him.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's shown to be surprisingly affable with his fellow villains, but his answer to anything or anyone that mildly offends him is to try to blow them up.
* BullyMagnet: Every other villain goes out of their way to bully and insult Bane. His fellow members of the Injustice League continually mock him and [[EvilIsPetty give him a cheap chair to sit on because it looks funny.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: In spite of his dim and genial demeanor, Bane is surprisingly competent at a large number of fields. He manages to run one of the most successful gangs in Gotham, crushes Batman in combat, and turned the Pit into a highly successful prisoner-reform center.
* ButtMonkey: Despite his status in the Legion of Doom, he is still a StrawLoser who gets no respect.
* ChewingTheScenery: During a KangarooCourt trial involving Harley and Ivy.
-->"I sentence them to liiiiiiife....in prison off course."
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The Joker tells him that Harley has HPV. Bane isn't sure how this matters, because he's pretty sure most sexually active adults have it.
* CompositeCharacter: Combines the classic Venom-using Bane with the ComicallySerious Bane from ''ComicBook/SecretSix'', with an exaggerated love of explosions and Tom Hardy's voice from ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''.
* CowardlyLion: Bane takes a lot of crap from other villains who don't take him seriously. Yet when he actually gets into a fight in "Batman's Back, Man" he turns out be powerful enough to inflict a CurbStompBattle on Batman.
* CurbStompBattle: Faces Batman in "Batman's Back, Man." While Batman has a suit of PoweredArmor, Bane destroys him when he goes all out on Venom, leaves the suit so damaged it cannot operate, and leaves Batman with both his knees broken.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Blew up Gotham stadium because he got a Trivia Night question wrong, and then threatens to blow up the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah because Harley and the other villains made fun of him. As the series progresses, he threatens to blow up pretty much anything that mildly offends him.
* DoWrongRight: His reaction to Joshua putting a hit out on Harley using a Legion of Doom credit card is indignant scolding. Why? Because he left a paper trail by using the credit card (along with using it for frivolous purchases), rather than using cash.
* DumbassHasAPoint: He suggests that he and Two-Face team up to better prepare for Harley attempting to kill them, which Two-Face only begrudgingly does while making every effort to minimize him.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite locking Harley and Ivy in a high-security prison and generally antagonizing them for a whole season, he gets invited to Ivy and Kite Man's wedding.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all his faults, he mentions having a close relationship with his aunt.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's quite offended when the Joker badmouths the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah, recognizing the occasion as an important milestone.
* EvilBrit: Speaks with the quasi-British accent made famous by Creator/TomHardy's portrayal of the character. This is somewhat confusing, as it becomes evident later that this Bane is also Latino, like in WesternAnimation/YoungJustice, [[spoiler:if the calavera-bearing papel picado strung about his slice of Gotham is anything to go by.]]
* EvilIsPetty: Pretty much any minor embarrassment Bane suffers -- losing a bar trivia game, being laughed at at a bar mitzvah, having a teenage employee call him "Bang" when he's a regular customer at the smoothie place -- will spur him to plan to blow up the target of his wrath.
* ExpressiveMask: His goggles and stitched up mouth move to display emotion.
* ExtremeDoormat: He's constantly letting other villains walk all over him and humiliate him even though he could easily break their bones if he let himself get angry.
* {{Foil}}: To Harley of all people. Like Harley, Bane isn't treated with any respect by his supervillain peers. Two-Face's treatment of Bane, in particular, is very similar to how the Joker manipulated Harley into being subservient to him. Unlike Harley, who eventually wises up and breaks from the Joker's control and abuse, Bane remains completely oblivious to the fact that Two-Face doesn't regard him as an equal even as the evidence is right in front of him.
* HiddenDepths: He seems to have a gift for therapy, since, despite having limited resources, he was significantly more successful in rehabilitating criminals than Arkham Asylum ever was.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: In Season 2, his territory of Banetown is pronounced "Bane-ton", which no one can seem to get right (or care to).
* LaughablyEvil: While Bane is still a villain, most of his antics are relegated to petty acts which still befits the BlackComedy nature of the show.
* MadBomber: He likes explosions a lot and his standard answer to anything that annoys him is wanting to blow it up.
* MythologyGag:
** His design is taken directly from his Videogame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs depiction, with his venom tubes changed from green to red.
** Similarly, pretty much every time we see him, Bane is constantly quoting ''The Dark Knight Rises'' in paraphrased wording. And of course, his voice is an exaggerated impression of Tom Hardy's Bane from that movie.
* NerdInEvilsHelmet: Drinks smoothies, tries to do magic tricks, cracks somewhat lame jokes, plays bar trivia, and wishes Pixar would make a sequel to ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''.
* NiceGuy: Oddly enough, he's one of the nicest characters in the series thus far. He also seems to be the only one outside of her crew that treats Harley with respect, such as suggesting the newly formed Injustice League include her in negotiations on divying up Gotham rather than just hanging her up to dry (all the other villains yell at him and go ahead with their plans).
* NoRespectGuy: Even though he's shown to be quite a formidable villain as seen with his battle with Batman, his fellow villains don't treat him with any respect.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain:
** Despite being treated as DumbMuscle and a joke by his fellow villains, he or at the very least his goons are treated as TheDreaded by the other villains' goons on account of Bane supplying them with syringes of Venom. When Two-Face's gang pursued King Shark and Dr. Psycho, they quickly turned about once they entered 'Baneton'.
** When he finally gets into a fight with Batman in "Batman's Back, Man" he shows that he is still one of his most dangerous enemies, easily defeating him and breaking both of his legs.
* ParentalSubstitute: Acts as this to the Penguin's nephew, Joshua.
* PointyHairedBoss: He's a pretty affable supervillain, but "A Seat at the Table" shows that he's a pretty idiotic boss, so much so that Harley's crew begs her to get them out of his employment.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: Downplayed, but he mentions making a point to be supportive of his lesbian aunt.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Played with. When he makes a joke about the ocean being "the world's toilet" that flops, he mutters that political correctness is killing comedy, and he calls the guy at the smoothie place a "goddamn millennial". However, he's neither a bigot nor a sexist, and it mostly just makes him seem like more of a dweeb than an outright jerk.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Subverted - Bane ''wants'' to be this, but a combination of [[NoRespectGuy his 'allies' disrespect for him,]] his temper, insecurities, and willingness to destroy anything that irritates him, no matter the absurdity make this impossible.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Or in this case, [[GlowingEyesOfDoom green]]. Upon pumping himself full of venom, his red lenses on his mask turn a sinister green.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: [[spoiler:He survived the events of Season 1 because he was out of town dog-sitting for his aunt's girlfriend at the time, which is more explanation than his fellow Legion members get.]]
* SelfReferentialHumor: More so than any other character in the show, Bane is a walking quotes machine for the portion of ''The Dark Knight Rises'' parody he represents; throughout his appearances Bane finds a way to incorporate many of the memorable lines from Tom Hardy’s version of the character into his own dialogue.
* StraightEdgeEvil: "There's No Place to Go But Down" shows that Bane is all about channeling unproductive impulses into productive and healthy endeavors.
* SuperMode: The already huge Bane gets bigger when he uses the venom formula.
* VocalDissonance: He has a surprisingly soft voice for a hulking giant.
* WarriorTherapist: He spends his time rehabilitating prisoners in The Pit, through different kinds of therapy.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Not surprisingly, given his ''lucha libre'' theme, Bane's fighting style is based in wrestling.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: It's quasi-british, parodying the accent used by Tom Hardy from ''The Dark Knight Rises'', but his heritage is Latino so it makes very little sense.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Get him mad and upset enough, he'll go berserk. Batman himself learned this the hard way, while Two-Face did his best to keep him calm.

[[folder:The Riddler]]
!!ComicBook/TheRiddler (Edward Nygma)
->'''Voiced by:''' Jim Rash
Gotham's "funniest villain" known for his riddle based crimes.
----
* BadassInANiceSuit: He's a notorious villain in a snazzy suit with a DastardlyDapperDerby.
* BaldOfEvil: This Riddler has a shaved head.
* BigBadDuumvirate: As one of the members of the Injustice League he serves this role in the first half of the Season. [[spoiler:After Dr. Psycho leaves Harley's team he forms a new partnership with him for the second half of the season.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Being One of the smartest villains in Gotham, it's not at all surprising that Riddler has a dry wit to go along with it. Especially notable when he's around Psycho.
* EvilVersusEvil: While always a supervillain, Season 2 sees him directly oppose Harley as part of the Injustice League.
* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: A flashback to Harley's time at Arkham shows him brushing a long black mane, only to gasp in horror when he finds several strands embedded in the brush, suggesting he's either gone totally bald since or now shaves his head to cover up an unflattering hairline.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Male example. His workout regime as a prisoner of Harley's crew makes him ''incredibly'' jacked, and it becomes a RunningGag for people (both male and female) to break off their train of thought when they get a look at his perfect musculature.
* MythologyGag: He sported long black hair prior to his BaldOfEvil appearance, similar to the Music/MarilynManson-inspired Riddler from ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He finds Clayface so obnoxious that he spoils his own riddle just to make Clayface stop talking.
* PlayAlongPrisoner: [[spoiler: After being captured in Season Two and made to power Harley's lair with a giant hamster wheel, he says he's okay with it because he is getting well-fed, plenty of exercise, and it's entertaining watching Harley's crew struggle to get on top. He also makes it very clear he can escape at anytime he feels like it]]. [[spoiler: By episode 10 he's done just that albeit with the help of Dr. Psycho.]]
* PragmaticVillainy: He joins the Injustice League in Season 2 to avoid fighting over the remains of New New Gotham. [[spoiler: He refuses to escape his prison because being a prisoner gives him the best chance of surviving the New New Gotham wasteland, not only that, Harley's crew provides him with shelter, food, water, plenty of exercise, and finds pleasure in watching the Quinn crew struggle for survival.]]
* RiddleMeThis: [[TropeNamer But of course]]; his crimes are centered around riddles that he leaves heroes to solve to give them a chance of stopping him... or as the Joker puts it:
-->'''The Joker:''' His gimmick is being the world's most indirect asshole!
* TheRival: The Joker sees him as a rival villain, especially since the Riddler seems to be stealing his gimmick in the first episode.
* TattooedCrook: He has a question mark tattooed on his forehead.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Thanks to the non-stop exercise that came from powering Harley's lair via a giant hamster wheel, he's become an actually physically imposing threat (and seriously ripped) upon being freed by Dr. Psycho in ''Dye Hard''.]]
* VillainousFriendship: He helps Poison Ivy in her elaborate plan to help Harley realize that the Joker doesn't really love her in exchange for her getting him out of Arkham. A throwaway line from Ivy about owing Riddler money over a bet, when she was still extremely mysanthropic indicated that they were at least on speaking-terms with each other. Subverted, big time, later on, when they are on opposite sides.

[[folder:The Penguin]]
!!ComicBook/ThePenguin (Oswald Cobblepot)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WayneKnight
----
* AdaptationalDiversity: The Penguin normally strongly identifies as a sophisticated, upper-class WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant. In this continutity, however, he is Jewish.
* BadBoss: He casually kills one of his employees for saying hi to him, because several already did that and he felt it was disingenuous if said too many times. When Clayface disguises himself as a waiter and tells the Penguin he killed the last one, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday he doesn't even question it]].
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Deconstructed. He kills employees so often that when a transformed Clayface replaces the real waiter, he instantly believes the story that he killed Jeffery despite knowing the guy by name and Clayface's nervous hesitation. His casual dismissal that it " Does sound like [me]" shows how he can't fact check something that should be important.
* DeathByDisfigurement: [[spoiler: Harley bites off his nose, leaving a gaping, bloody hole in its place. He dies not long after.]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: He applauds Harley when she defeats Aquaman and seems to have forgiven her for ruining his nephew's bar mitzvah. This doesn't stop him from becoming Harley's enemy in Season 2 when she rejects his offer to work with the Injustice League.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He at least cares enough about his nephew to throw him a lavish bar mitzvah.
* HighClassGlass: He's got his usual monocle, but here it's tinted a dark gray color.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Harley stabs him in the neck with her broken bat and rams it all the way through the top of his skull.]]
* ImprobableAimingSkills: He's able to shoot a running Harley with a tranquilizer dart, and later shoot a bullet down the barrel of Harley's gun to destroy it. The calm with which he does the latter indicates that he pulls this kind of thing off with some regularity.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Harley kills him in the first episode of Season 2 after her crew rescues her from her kidnapping.]]
* KosherNostra: He says he decided to become a crime lord during his own Bar Mitzvah.
* NasalTrauma: [[spoiler: Harley bites off his nose in the Season 2 premiere.]]
* NiceHat: It wouldn't be the Penguin without a snazzy topper. He even gives an identical hat to Joshua to symbolize how he'll pass his criminal enterprise down to him.
* {{Nepotism}}: He's trying to get his nephew involved in organized crime.
* PunchClockVillain: Sees being a crime lord as a vocation.
* SinisterSchnoz: Like his comics counterpart, he has a long, thin, nose. In Season 2, Harley bites it off.
* StarterVillain: For Season 2, being the first member of the newly-formed Injustice League that Harley has to get rid of in her quest to take over Gotham.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: [[spoiler:He thinks Harley is an easy kill after her bat gets broken. Unfortunately for him, what he calls a "defrosted gymnast" has an easy time dodging his grenade launcher; Harley has the fight won as soon as he loses sight of her in the aftermath.]]
* WickedPretentious: As is usual for the character, he's a violent thug who wears fancy clothes and runs an upscale nightclub.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mister Freeze]]
!!Mister Freeze (Victor Fries)
[[quoteright:298:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_freeze.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlfredMolina
A former cryogenics scientist trapped within his own technology and uses ice and cold as his motif. Appears in Season 2.
----
* AccentAdaptation: Creator/AlfredMolina, an English actor, uses a Russian accent to play this version of Mr. Freeze.
* ActOfTrueLove: [[spoiler:Witnessing Mister Freeze willingly giving up all his blood to save his terminally ill wife is what makes Harley realize what true love is about.]]
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Victor is usually depicted as a geeky-looking, bald man. Here, he has a muscular build, chiseled jawline, and a snazzy mohawk.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Before he went supervillain, Victor was a wealthy and powerful CEO rather than a white-collar scientist.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While other versions of Mister Freeze have been sympathetic, they were typically portrayed as [[{{Pun}} cold]] and anti-social. This interpretation however is outright hospitable, offering meals to Harley and her crew even when they tried to kill him.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: As noted above, most incarnations of Mister Freeze are [[TinMan outwardly]] [[TheStoic cold and emotionless]] while this version is much more friendly and personable.
* AffablyEvil: Freeze is not beyond reason and can be downright pleasant, so long as your death will not help him cure Nora, or you do not stand in his way of curing her.
* AndIMustScream: He describes his life trapped inside the cryosuit as "god forsaken" and something he only [[DrivenToSuicide put up with]] to save find a way to save Nora.
* AntiVillain: His sympathetic motivations, AffablyEvil manners and the HeroicSacrifice he pulls at the end of "Thawing Hearts" put him into this territory.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He shows Harley's crew the alarming amount of snow rats that have died because of his failed experiments to find a cure for Nora.
* BaitAndSwitch: The show plays with idea that Freeze might just be a lunatic deluding himself that Nora is his wife, going in hand with the New 52 comics retcon. She's frozen with an expression of horror, has a feeding tube leading into her mouth, and Freeze speaks as if she's still conscious. Harley projects her own issues with the Joker onto him, believing he destroyed Nora's life. However, in the end, the show sticks with the infinitely more popular backstory of Freeze and Nora being deeply in love with each other, with Freeze as his most sympathetic version.
* CastingGag: As Freeze here is like the ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries BTAS]]'' version, then this won't be the first time Molina has played [[Film/SpiderMan2 a supervillain scientist who lost his wife.]]
* ComicallySerious: Given the nature of the wackey situations he is in, it's impossible for him not to be this.
* CrazyPrepared: When [[NoMisterBondIExpectYouToDine having lunch with Harley's crew]] he has them frozen to their chairs to keep them from trying anything.
* CurbStompBattle: Easily defeats Harley's crew with his freezing gun. When Harley makes an attempt at fighting him again, it ends with her getting frozen again.
* DitzyGenius: He blows open the Penguin's door because he couldn't push it open... only for the Penguin to explain the door is ''pulled'' open.
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: As he lies dying as a result of Ivy's cure for Nora's disease, his final words are to encourage Nora to live a happy life.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: There is no way to stress this enough: Nora is ''everything'' to Victor.
* TheGhost: In Season 1, he's mentioned by a realtor showing his former lair to Harley and Ivy, and the place definitely had his custom renovations style.
* HappilyMarried: Victor and Nora adore and respect one another completely.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Takes Ivy's drug that will convert his blood to Nora's, even though it will kill him, all in the name of saving Nora's life. Even Doctor Psycho is moved to tears by this.]]
* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:His act of giving his life to save his wife has shades of this.]] By his own admission, he views his life inside the cryo-suit as a form of hell, and he only tolerates it so he can live long enough to save Nora. [[spoiler: It is possible that he finds the fact that the transfusion will kill him a good thing]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler: With his last breaths, he encourages Nora to move on from his death and find happiness.]]
* JustifiedCriminal: He participates in organized crime to gather the funding necessary to research a cure for his wife's illness.
* LivingOnBorrowedTime: He needs to live inside a cryo-suit so he can extend his lifespan and continue the research needed to find a cure for Nora.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: The whole motive of his villainy is finding a cure for his dying wife.
* MythologyGag: Closed captioning labels Freeze's accent as German ([[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent despite it sounding more Russian]]). In live-action, Freeze was played by two Austrians, Creator/OttoPreminger and Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, with their own accents, and by the British Creator/GeorgeSanders and American Creator/EliWallach both doing German accents. Mr. Freeze just having an accent must itself be the gag.
* NobleDemon: He is willing to become a criminal to fund his research, but there are still lines he won't cross. [[spoiler:It's revealed that he froze Harley to placate the rest of the Injustice League, who were actually planning to kill her.]]
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: He and "[[HumanPopsicle Nora]]" host a dinner for Harley and crew as a show of good faith. It's just as disturbing as you might imagine.
* NotSoDifferent: He isn't a crime boss, he just wants to save his wife... with funds he must get from organized crime.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: PlayedForLaughs. He froze Harley to save her life, and acknowledged in disgust that his fellow crime lords loved it due to being white, cis-gendered, heterosexual men who wanted to make a woman an object of mockery. King Shark soon calls out Harley for attacking the most "woke" villain in New Gotham.
* SenseLossSadness: He can no longer eat cooked food as it would fatally raise his body temperature and he asks Dr. Psycho to describe what it's like to eat a piece of steak during dinner.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:After Harley accidentally condemns Nora to die by freeing her from her ice prison, Mister Freeze threatens to blow himself up along with everyone present unless Harley can get Ivy to find a cure for her.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: It's revealed in "Thawing Hearts" that he only froze Harley because the alternative was the Injustice League killing her, and his goals are more sympathetic than the other four.
* UnusualEyebrows: His eyebrows are long and kinked.
* WouldHitAGirl: Knocks out Harley with her own bat; justified since she attacked him twice before that, and considering how "woke" he is, it’s more than likely Mr. Freeze is pretty egalitarian. (He also needed a test subject for an experiment and unconscious subjects are easier to handle.)
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has a blue mohawk.

[[folder:Kite Man]]
!!Kite Man (Charles Brown)
-> '''Voiced by:''' Matt Oberg
A perverted loser supervillain who uses a giant kite to commit crimes. In spite of his silliness and questionable competence, he displays a surprising level of emotional intelligence.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: He's one big goof and a sorry excuse of a supervillain, but he's a sweet guy.
* AffablyEvil: While he's supposed to be a villain like most of the cast, but he is an all round decent guy. He doesn't even count as 'evil' because [[HarmlessVillain he never does anything bad]].
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He falls in love with Ivy because she's the only person who has recognized his good qualities enough to give him a chance and stand up for him.
* BettyAndVeronica: [[spoiler:In Season 2, Ivy is torn between her feelings for her friend Harley and her fiancé Kite Man. Kite Man is the Betty because he's pleasant, stable and dorky, making him the "safer" relationship option next to the crazy Harley. He ends up as the loser.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: He is nice and forgiving despite being a villain but he finally reaches his breaking point after Gordon ruins the wedding. Even though he's angry with Ivy, he's merciful enough to end the relationship for Ivy since she doesn't want to be with him. He still leaves her and Harley behind for the police but he knows they're both capable of escaping the police.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: His ability to fly allows him to save people when need be. First time being when he saves Ivy, Harley and her crew from a cyclops through flight and squirting hot sauce in said cyclops' eye.
* ButtMonkey: He's always abused or humiliated in some way but he seemingly takes it in stride and Ivy does know he means well when he helps out.
* CasanovaWannabe: He thinks he's a smooth-talking ladies' man, but he's just a perverted idiot. He admits later in his debut he's not too good with women. It's when he drops the act that Ivy shows interest in him.
* CatchPhrase: "Hell yeah."
* ChivalrousPervert: As he says so himself, he cares about what Ivy thinks as much as he cares about her ass.
* CoolLoser: He's a bottom tier supervillain no one takes seriously, but as Ivy says, he has a level of confidence to be admired.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Towards Poison Ivy, who initially sees him as a joke like everyone else. Once she realizes he can be nice to be around, she starts giving in to his advances. He does successfully manage to enter a relationship with Ivy some time before "The Line", but Ivy displays some embarrassment towards how open he is about their relationship.
* DumbassHasAPoint: While he's not dumb per say, he himself says he's simple/ However, he's no fool as he makes it known:
** On his first date with Ivy, after he realizes that Ivy is embarrassed to been seen with him and wears extra clothing to conceal her idenity, [[WhatTheHellHero he calls her out for it]].
** In "A Fight Worth Fighting For" he points out that him and Ivy getting married before stopping the army of Parademons is a bad idea. Ivy surprisingly ignores his advice.
* ExtremeDoormat: He never stands up for himself when people mock him and treat him like a joke. However, he doesn't let it get to him much.
** It's implied that this is the result of his own parents being condescending of him because [[MuggleBornOfMages he lacks superpowers while his parents have them.]]
** This allow him to mesh well for a bit with Ivy because of her own assertive personality. [[spoiler: Ironically enough, he sticks up for himself against her when he realizes that they're not meant to be together and breaks it off for them.]]
* FemaleFighterMaleHandler: He has this with Ivy. Ivy has control over plant life, decent combat skills and thus a dangerous villainess. Kite Man is a NonActionGuy who doesn't help much, but he can fly and he's quite good at flying with the kite.
* {{Foil}}: To the Joker. He's a D-Class villain while the Joker is TheDreaded, but unlike the Joker who is known to be abusive to Harley and doesn't care about what she feels, Kite Man truly ''cares'' about Ivy and treats her with respect. Also, the Joker is shown to have insecurity issues and hates it when people mock him, while Kite Man is looked upon as a loser but has enough self-confidence to brush it off.
* FreudianExcuse: ''Possibly.'' While his self-confidence is genuine, one gets the feeling that his earlier act and social awkwardness is the result of his parents' verbal abuse toward him.
* GracefulInTheirElement: Say what you will about him, he ''is'' a good flier and knows how to use his kite well when needed. [[spoiler: Ivy calls Kite Man to save her, Harley, and her crew from a death trap sprung on them by the Queen of Fables. He saves them ''magnificently''. He later saves Harley from death.]]
* GreenAndMean: Downplayed. His outfit is green and he's a villain but is very nice and friendly.
* HarmlessVillain: Much like in the comics, he's not taken seriously as a villain in the slightest and is seen as a joke by pretty much every other supervillain.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Even though it's conditional, he can still ''fly'' and has used it to pull off some impressive stunts (including saving Harley's crew plus Ivy from a ''cyclops''). In Season 2 it is the most useful transportation Harley and Ivy can find.
* HiddenDepths:
** At first he tries being a womanizer but to no avail as Ivy is put off by his perversion and inability to take a hint. When he decides to drop this and starts interacting with Ivy with no ulterior motive, Ivy starts becoming interested in him and the two start dating. Through Kite Man, Ivy starts coming further out of her shell and Kite Man learns that being himself is enough to win someone over.
** Season 2 reveals that he knows Morse-Code, which comes in handy when translating for [[spoiler: Sy's cybernetic eye]]
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: He never officially joins Harley's crew, but since he's dating Ivy, he does go out of his way to give them a ride and saves their lives at least once.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:There are definitely some [[YourCheatingHeart sour]] [[WeddingSmashers feelings]] motivating his decision to break off his engagement with Ivy, but it is partially because he realizes that Ivy's heart belongs to Harley rather than him. He tells her upfront that he isn't the person for her.]]
* InformedLoner: Zigzagged. He is portrayed as an outcast who everyone treats as a joke, but not many characters actually mock him as such, and he still gets invited to villain parties and is able to convince random bar goons to work jobs for him. However, this is to demonstrate that even someone as pathetic as Kite Man gets more respect in the villain community than Harley, thus his JokeCharacter status [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools is used to draw attention to a major theme of the series]].
* InLoveWithLove: Both he and Ivy have shades of this to each other. From his end, his hurry to marry her before she's completely ready is more motivated by a fear of not being able to find another woman who actually likes him so much ''and'' is as cool as Ivy. However, [[spoiler: he does break it off through a combination of realizing they're not meant for each other and that he deserves better.]]
* MeaningfulName: His real name is Charles Brown... yes, just like the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' comic strip character. Much like his namesake, he gets no respect from his peers and also has a crush on a red-haired girl. Furthermore, his kite-theme is a reference to how the comic strip character would get his kites stuck in the infamous "kite-eating tree". Kite Man's red-haired girlfriend can ''control'' trees.
* MuggleBornOfMages: His father and mother have ice powers and the ability to fly, respectively. Both were disappointed when Kite-Man had no powers.
* NeverBareheaded: Even the time he thought (wrongly) that Ivy was going to have sex with him, he stripped off everything but kept on the mask.
* NiceGuy: Perverted tendencies and attempted villainy aside, he's actually a pretty decent guy, even sorta befriending Ivy by the end of his debut and then the two becoming a couple a few episodes later.
* NonActionGuy: Probably the only supervillain in the show who can't fight at all.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Despite being a supposed supervillain, he is never actually seen doing anything evil during the series proper. If he weren't hanging out with villains, it would be a stretch to call him one at all.
* PrinceCharmingWannabe: He can't seem to take the hint that Ivy doesn't want to sleep with him, at least until she declines after he literally jumps into her bed naked.
* RomanticFalseLead: [[spoiler:Kite Man's role as Ivy's fiancé is to create drama when Harley realizes she's in love with Ivy and have Ivy reject Harley despite clearly loving her back because she isn't steady like Kite Man. After Kite Man finds out Ivy cheated on him with Harley and then Gordon ruins their wedding, Kite Man breaks down crying because he realizes he and Ivy were never meant to be. He coldly but mercifully breaks off the engagement and tells Ivy that she doesn't want to be with him and he deserves someone better. Harley and Ivy hook up minutes later.]]
* RomanticRunnerUp: After Kite Man stops trying to get into bed with Ivy, she discovers he's a friendly, pleasant, dorky, if somewhat pushy guy and she comes to feel attracted to him enough to agree dating him. In Season 2, they get engaged, [[spoiler:but a few episodes later, Ivy starts an affair with Harley in some heated moments. At their wedding, Kite Man realizes Ivy is just forcing herself to choose him to run away from her feelings for Harley. Kite Man then calls off the wedding because going through with it is too unfair for the three of them.]]
* SatelliteLoveInterest: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Kite Man does have some defined characterization, his role and participation in all episodes he appears in are focused on his romantic relationship with Ivy. Whenever he helps Harley's crew, it's to do Ivy a favor.
* SmallNameBigEgo: His "powers" are pretty pathetic, to say the least, but he seems to think they’re a ''lot'' cooler than they actually are. Ironically, his absolute confidence in himself is something that Poison Ivy considers attractive.
* SweetAndSourGrapes: He manages to conquer Ivy when he decides to stop acting like a Casanova.
* UndyingLoyalty: After [[spoiler:Ivy is apparently killed by the Joker]], Kite Man refuses to leave the side of her grave for weeks. Subverted in the season 2 finale, [[spoiler: where he leaves Ivy to fight the cops by herself, after finally getting fed up with her and Harley's shenanigans.]]
* UselessSuperpowers: He openly admits that taking a cab would be faster than a kite.
** Subverted in Season 2, where his kite is Harley and Ivy's main mode of transport, and his ability to fly over the ruined Gotham is increasingly important.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The only villain whose crimes are weather-dependent.

[[folder:Giganta]]
!!Giganta (Doris Zeul)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/VanessaMarshall
----
* CastingGag: A traditional nemesis of Wonder Woman, she shares her voice actress in this show.
* TheFaceless: Her first appearance has her so tall, her face is out of shot the entire scene. Her face is revealed in her second appearance.
* GiantWoman: True to form, she is extremely tall.
* JerkAss: Openly refers to Ivy as a "jolly green whore" as she's [[ImStandingRightHere standing right there]].

[[folder:The Queen of Fables]]
!!Queen of Fables (Tsaritsa)
->'''Voiced by:''' Wanda Sykes
A sorceress with the power to conjure living versions of fables.
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Unlike her comics counterpart, she harbors no delusions about Wonder Woman being Snow White or Superman being Prince Charming.
* AdaptationalJerkass ''and'' AdaptationalNiceGuy: Yes, both at once. On the one hand, she's far more personable than her comics counterpart, but on the other, she's [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking an unrepentant mass-murderer, blames being trapped in a tax book on her being a villainess trying to be as good as her male contemporaries, and is pretty snarky in general.]]
* AdaptationalWimp: To a degree. In the comics, the Queen of Fables is an otherworldly force of fiction made real who - as long as there is imagination - can warp all of reality to her whims. In this series, she appears to be a (comparatively) normal human witch who uses a spell that is limited to bringing fictional characters to life.
* AmbitionisEvil: In her view, to be the top villain you have to cross all moral boundaries.
* AndIMustScream: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Although, she was trapped in a book for 30 years, she was still able to semi-function in society.
* AnimateInanimateObject: She was sealed inside a copy of the U.S. Master Tax Guide by Zatanna, but can still talk (and smoke). She's freed in "[[Recap/HarleyQuinn2019S1E7TheLine The Line]]" when it's deemed cruel and unusual punishment by a court.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Given that the Justice League deemed her dangerous enough to seal her into a book rather than just shipping her off to Arkham, and [[EvenEvilHasStandards even other villains find her brutal methods repulsive]], no one mourned her when Harley knocked her head off her shoulders.]]
* AxCrazy: Considering her go-to solution to every problem is killing everyone in her immediate vicinity in an incredibly gory fashion, she's definitely this.
* BadBoss: She treats her storytale characters like tools.
* BondVillainStupidity: Played with. As a storyteller villain she tries to kill people in a sensational manner, which to be fair no normal people could handle. She sent Harley's crew up the beanstalk to be killed by the giant living there, which would be effective since they couldn't fly back down, [[spoiler: and she didn't count on Kite Man rescuing them all]].
* BrokenPedestal: Harley used to look up to her as a role model, but she's disgusted by the Queen's mass-murdering habits when they team up.
* CardCarryingVillain: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. She uses being a bad guy as an excuse to do ''horrible'' actions and, thanks to her "villains don't give a fuck" mentality, feels absolutely ''no'' remorse for any of it. What's worse, she seems to feel that this level of extremism is ''the only way'' to make it as a villain.
* CoDragons: [[spoiler:She and the Scarecrow become this to the Joker, helping him in his plan to take over Gotham and kill Harley Quinn.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Sees her fate as this, as the male villains have done far worse and just get a stint in Arkham that they'll escape from half the time, while she got stuck in a book permanently. [[UnreliableNarrator Her actions when freed cast a little bit of doubt on how disproportionate it actually was, though.]] Ironically she herself is a big fan of this, advocating for [[MurderIsTheBestSolution ending]] [[LeaveNoWitnesses the bloodline]] to deal with a single witness.
* DissonantSerenity: She maintains her chipper SassyBlackWoman shtick even as she gruesomely murders scores of people in horrifying ways. It's disturbing enough to disgust [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Harley]] when they team up.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: A DefiedTrope. She sees standards as something ''heroes'' have, and that villains "don't give a fuck."
* EvilerThanThou: Implied to be the real reason why she was sealed in a book rather than simply sent to Arkham. Even other supervillains [[spoiler: with the exception of the Joker]] are disturbed by her mass-murders.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: After getting her head knocked off, instead of being furious or breaking down, her decapitated head just mutters a mildly annoyed "Ahh shit".]]
* FalseFriend: Acted as a friend to Harley while she was sealed inside a book. Once freed, she quickly turns on Harley, even though Harley saved her from being sent to Arkham. While the two appeared to be friends when Harley saved her from being killed [[spoiler: the Queen of Fables still sided with the Joker and attempted to kill Harley.]]
* FamousLastWords: "Aw shit!"
* FauxAffablyEvil: Comes of as AffablyEvil at first. When freed from the book she was sealed in, she proves to not only be an unrepetant mass murderer, but she will turn on supposed friends in a heartbeat.
* FedToPigs: Her choice of crime scene cleanup is summoning the Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs. Thank heavens [[GoryDiscretionShot we don't get to see them chowing down]], but the crew does, and it ain't pretty.
* GenreSavvy: As a story-themed villain, she knows all about the conventions of narrative (LeaveNoWitnesses, EverybodyHasStandards, etc).
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Her villain name is the Queen of Fables and '''holy shit''' is she evil and AxCrazy even by regular villain standards.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: She sits back and smokes cigarettes as she lets her Big Bad Wolf massacre an innocent family, and then puts the used cigarettes in the mouth of one of the corpses.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Well, "graceful" might be the wrong term for it, but when Harley outsmarts her and is about to kill her, she says "Props!" with a somewhat impressed tone before getting her head knocked off.]]
* {{Irony}}: She believes she was sealed in a book instead of being sent to Arkham on the grounds that she was a woman. She says this to Harley, who has been locked up in Arkham several times over.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: She intially acts like Harley's friend, but despite Harley saving her from Arkham, she turns on her. Harley saving her life does her no favors [[spoiler: as the Queen of Fables still works with the Joker to murder her and take over Gotham by the end of the season.]]
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After she is released from her prison, she massacres an entire family and then double-crosses Harley's group. Despite this, Harley saves her from being killed by Jason Praxis and lets her go free. [[spoiler: She is eventually killed by Harley when karma finally bites her.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:In "Devil’s Snare", when Harley accidentally decapitates her.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Once released from her tax book prison, she quickly becomes the darkest villain so far.
* LackOfEmpathy: According to her, villains "don't give a fuck" and aren't supposed to. Deconstructed too since she takes it to her own teammates.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler:She seemed more annoyed than hurt when Harley decapitated her.]]
* MundaneUtility:
** Trapped inside a copy of the U.S. tax code, she made the best of a bad situation and opened a tax filing business. She also has one of the gingerbread men doing office work (it was better than turning tricks on the street, according to the gingerbread man).
** She casually murders her own conjuration of Humpty Dumpty so she can make scrambled eggs.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Strongly believes in this trope. Someone (who's at a family reunion) sees you committing a crime? Brutally murder them and the entire family (just to make sure they avoid any revenge scenario).
* OffWithHerHead: [[spoiler:Harley knocks her head off with her bat in "Devil's Snare".]]
* ProperlyParanoid: She murders an entire family to avoid any revenge scenario, and is vindicated when the one Harley spares comes back for revenge just as she predicted. Downplayed in that her killing an entire family just because of one witness could very much be considered as unnecessary.
* RaceLift: She is turned from a white woman to a black woman.
* RealityEnsues:
** She assumes she is free to go after being let out of the tax book, only to be informed that she still has to serve out the rest of her sentence and is being sent to Arkham.
** Most criminals don't find the wanton slaughter of innocents to be an acceptable solution to silencing a single witness. As such, her homicidal tendencies and extremely violent methods absolutely horrify Harley and her crew, who then decide to kick her out.
* SassyBlackWoman: Well, she is voiced by Wanda Sykes. Plus, it presents an appropriately absurd contrast to her initial predicament.
* ShadowArchetype: She is what Harley would be if she didn't have any standards: unfettered and uncaring, flamboyant, selfish and sociopathic, and on good terms with the Joker.
* SealedEvilInACan: The Justice League sealed her in a book after she tried to take over Gotham. Later on, it's suggested it was also because of her excessively violent approach as a super villain.
* TheSociopath: She's heavily implied to be this. Superficially, she's charming and spirited, but is quick to reveal that she has no second thoughts about using mass murder as a solution to literally any problem, and not caring if other criminals are horrified. She has no remorse or conscience, openly calling herself a villain. She also displays a serious lack of empathy; besides not caring for those she murders, she seems unable to realize how her fellow supervillains could be disturbed by her actions or see her actions as rightfully excessive.
* SquishyWizard: She can summon deadly fairy tale creatures, but damage her book and she's rendered defenseless. [[spoiler:And a baseball bat to the back of the head will rip her head off of her shoulders.]]
* SummonMagic: She has the power to summon characters from fairy tales and use them at her command.
* TheUnfettered: HORRIFICALLY so. Even Harley (who entertained the thought of killing Robin) is completely horrified at what the Queen did to that family reunion, only for the Queen to flat-out state that she is a villain and that's what they do. Harley tries to argue EvenEvilHasStandards, only for the Queen to claim "villains don't give a fuck".
* UngratefulBastard: Harley rightfully points out that even though they eventually had a falling out, she still broke Fables out of prison and helped her get back in the villain game when nobody else gave her a chance, charity which Fables repays by trying to screw her over out of pride. Even after Harley ''saves her life,'' she still swears revenge for the hit to her ego.
* UnreliableNarrator: Her description of her fight against the DC Trinity shows them brutally attacking her henchmen. Harley Quinn sees through it, as "there is no way Superman did that". Tsaritsa admits that she's exaggerating "to add flavour." "The Line" reveals that this also applies to how she describes her fate. She states that she was imprisoned solely because she was a female villain trying to take over the world. The moment she's freed, it's revealed she's an unrepentant mass murderer whose scenes of gory destruction disgust [[EvenEvilHasStandards even other supervillains]].
* VillainHasAPoint: When Harley [[EvenEvilHasStandards states she has a line she won't cross]], the Queen of Fables responds that the Legion of Doom has no such standards. Harley's attempts to join the Legion do nothing but prove her point.
** The Justice League's willingness to throw Harley's entire crew into the Phantom Zone over a reasonable (but wrong) hunch with no trial or even much of an argument lends a ''lot'' of credence to her claim that them trapping her in the book was at least an overreaction. This is further vindicated by them being willing to kill Harley's crew while the crew are being mind controlled near the end of season 2 and deciding to banish the mind controlled Ivy to the Phantom Zone ''forever'' instead of retrieving her after [[spoiler:Dr. Psyho is defeated]].
** Her insistence that she needed to kill everyone at the family reunion to prevent any survivors from coming back to get revenge is proven right when Jason Praxis does exactly that.
* WouldHurtAChild: She kills several children in the Praxis family reunion.

[[folder:Maxie Zeus]]
!!Maxie Zeus
->'''Voiced by:''' Will Sasso
A well-known supervillain and motivational speaker who patterns himself after the Greek Gods
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, he has a reputation as a HarmlessVillain with a silly gimmick. Here, he's not only strong enough to beat the stuffing out of Clayface, but also clever enough to see through Clayface's disguise and trick him into blowing his cover. [[spoiler:And in ''The Runaway Bridesmaid'', he can shoot lightning from his hands.]]
* AdaptationalJerkass: While he was always evil, he was never quite as repulsive as shown here.
* AmbiguousSituation: It was not clear at first whether he's just really interested in Greek mythology or if, like in the comics, [[NapoleonDelusion he actually thinks he's the Greek god Zeus]]. Then Clayface posed as his whatif son (who Maxie thought didn't exist since the woman he hooked up with had an abortion), declaring said ''son'' was half-god, then that turned out to be a ruse as mentioned below.
** The ambiguity is ramped up in the second season where he's on Themysceria alongside God of War Ares as a male stripper. And in ''The Runaway Bridesmaid'', [[spoiler:he can shoot lightning from his hands.]]
* AncientGrome: His gimmick is a clear mishmash of Ancient Greek and Roman aesthetics.
* BaldOfEvil: This version of the character is bald.
* BeardOfEvil: As usual, he's got a prominent beard to match his "Greek God" motif.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:He seems genuinely committed to Nora Fries, even protecting her when Ivy and Kite Man's wedding goes awry.]]
* GoingCommando: He's not wearing any underwear under his toga, and he thinks nothing of exposing himself to people.
* HateSink: He's not meant to be likable at all; in addition to not being very well-known in the source material, he's tactless, narcissistic, petty, and a sexual predator.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a self-absorbed, misogynistic creep with zero redeeming qualities.
* LightIsNotGood: He wears a white toga, which gives him a divine appearance and his lair is covered in gold, but make no mistake, he is an overall jerk.
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:Believe it or not, he's this to Nora Fries after Mr. Freeze's death. And from what we've seen, it's a surprisingly committed relationship despite Zeus's promiscuity.]]
* SexForServices: He tries to pressure Harley into having sex with him in exchange for his help in making her a better villain. Of course, she refuses.
* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: He doesn't care if anyone sees his junk and makes no effort to cover himself if his toga goes askew. He even serves as one of the male strippers in Themysceria.
* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler:He can shoot lightning blasts from his hands.]]
* ShrineToSelf: His mansion is full of statues of himself, all nude with their junk on full display.
* STDImmunity: Averted; Harley takes a look at his junk and, since psychiatrists have some medical training, determines that he's got something nasty down there. On seeing a statue of him, Doctor Psycho agrees it looks "disturbing."
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: An odd twist in that the public ''knows'' that he's a villain, but he's well-respected as an entrepreneur and self-help guru in the villain community. Of course, none of them have any idea how depraved he truly is...
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He uses an elbow drop on Clayface and then threatens a piledriver.

[[folder:Catwoman]]
!!ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} (Selina Kyle)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SanaaLathan
Cat-burglar and occasional love-interest of Batman. Appears in Season 2.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: By the time Catwoman formed a trio with Harley and Ivy in the comics, she was by far the most heroic member of the group. Here it's the opposite; she is only out for herself and thinks the other two are foolish for putting so much stock in friendship. She ''does'' however take part in Ivy's bachelorette party, during which she acts nicer.
* AltoVillainess: Adopts a suitably purry villain voice of the sort usually associated with Poison Ivy.
* BrokenPedestal: Ivy idolizes Catwoman as an independent and self-confident villainess. However, by the end of "Trapped" she realizes she doesn't really want to be like her after seeing how uncaring and self-centered the cat burglar really is since Ivy has grown to see the value of having true friends and love in her life. She ''does'' get better when she joins Ivy's bachelorette party.
* CharmPerson: Even Ivy is taken by her charms despite her expressed distrust towards Selina.
* ClassyCatBurglar: Wouldn't be Catwoman if she wasn't this.
* DatingCatwoman: Is happening (or has happened) in this show, if Ivy's comment, "Catwoman says [Batman] waxes ''everything''," is anything to go by.
* FemmeFatale: Uses people to get what she wants.
* TheGhost: Is mentioned by Ivy in an episode in Season 1 before actually appearing in the series.
* GrandfatherClause: Creator/EarthaKitt famously played Catwoman in [[Series/Batman1966 the 60's Batman series]] long before the Internet. It's likely for this that fans have been more accepting of a black Selina Kyle than the usual controversy surrounding adaptational race changes.
* IWorkAlone: As she says, she isn't used to working in a team.
* ImpossibleTheft: She's so good at stealing that she can somehow steal Ivy's jacket while she was wearing it. In the museum, she is able to steal a ring from inside a ring box which is inside someone's pocket.
* KickTheDog: In Season 2's "Trapped", [[spoiler: she ditches Harley, Ivy, and Kite Man after they reach the flamethrower, and swipes the engagement ring Kite Man stole for Ivy just to rub it in]].
* MythologyGag:
** Like [[Creator/EarthaKitt Eartha Kitt's]] version seen in the [[Series/Batman1966 60's TV series]], this version of Selina is black.
** In the finale, she's dating Creator/TimBurton, who was responsible for giving her first [[Film/BatmanReturns on-screen appearence]].
* RaceLift: Like Lex Luthor and the Queen of Fables, Catwoman was made black for this series.
* StickyFingers: Just from her introduction sequence, she effortlessly swipes the jewellery from the patrons of the diner she was eating at, as well as Ivy's jacket.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: She is basically the Queen of Fables' replacement for Season 2, with the role of being the temporary eviler teammate, but does not commit the former's atrocities, making her a downplayed example.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Of the Gotham Sirens trio. While CharacterDevelopment made Harley and Ivy mellow out and show care for the importance of friendship, Catwoman is still a self-serving thief who only teamed up with them out of convenience.
** All of which is pretty ironic, given this dynamic is usually reversed in the comics, with Selina as a NominalHero and sometimes even a TokenGoodTeammate reigning in the more destructive Ivy and Harley.
** FridgeLogic sets in that given how Catwoman has a tendency to [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betray Ivy and Harley to Batman for their "own good"]] in usual continuity, it makes sense that in a show being told from their perspective, Catwoman is instead portrayed as heartless and not caring about their personal struggles for betraying them.

[[folder:Dr. Trap]]
!!Doctor Trap (Larry Trapp)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk
A villain who specializes in boobytraps.
----
* NonActionGuy: Brilliant at building traps, but he's essentially helpless when Harley finally confronts him face to face.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: A fairly obscure one at that. He was introduced in the rather obscure comic series "Chase" as the lifelong nemesis of DEO agent Cameron Chase. He later appeared in the pages of "Manhunter"
* SmugSnake: He loves to gloat about his traps.
* TrapMaster: He's actually really good at his job, Harley requires an ace burglar to be able to defeat him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Condiment King]]
!!Condiment King (Mitchell Mayo)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk
A villain who uses condiments as weapons. Kite Man's nemesis.
----
* CompositeCharacter: Has the appearance of the original animated series, and the name from the comics.
* EatenAlive: Ivy has Frank eat him and his fiancee so she and Kite-Man can have their wedding venue.
* EvilIsPetty: Shoots some mustard on Kite Man's tux just to make him look bad in front of the wedding hall's owner.
* EvilVersusEvil: He is Kite Man's archnemesis, despite both of them being (wannabe) "super"-villains.
* FamousLastWords: "It's Condiment King!"
* MeaningfulName: After a fashion, in that a ''condiment'' is something you ''eat''.
* PungeonMaster: He ''loves'' his condiment puns.
* SitcomArchNemesis: He and Kite Man are constantly throwing petty pranks at each other rather than trying to kill each other. Gets subverted, with ''extreme'' prejudice, by the introduction of an ''actual'' supervillainess, Ivy, into the equation - and her man-eating plant, of course.
* UglyGuyHotWife: His fiancee Becca is much more attractive than he is.
* UnderwearOfPower: He wears a pair of tighty whities on the outside of his costume. It makes him look even more ridiculous.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Darkseid]]
!!ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} (Uxas)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelIronside
The ruler of Apokolips.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Surprisingly, yes. Most versions of Darkseid would not even entertain the thought of giving an army to anyone unless it would benefit any of his plans. That said he is still the same ruthless dictator who desires the eradication of free will throughout the known universe. Likewise, him mentioning Harley was filling a void was him attempting to genuinely advise her.
* BadassBaritone: Since he's voiced by Creator/MichaelIronside.
* TheComicallySerious: He constantly interrupts Harley from speaking while giving his speech with no change in his tone whatsoever, and also points out that Harley is repressing issues and trying to compensate with his army.
* TheDreaded: While partially played for comedy, Harley's crew is clearly terrified of him and makes point to always keep reffering to him in some grandoise way to avoid ticking him off. [[spoiler: Even when Doctor Pyscho steals the helmet that boosts his power he is still terrified of Darkseid and is quick to suck up to him in his presence.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Tells Doctor Psycho that not even he would call someone [[CountryMatters a cunt]].
** [[spoiler: [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Doctor Psycho explaining his backstory where]] [[InsaneTrollLogic he saw so many people die in a Ferris wheel accident is the reason he hates women]] prompts Darkseid to commonly state that Psycho's reasoning makes no sense and ends the transmission with him.]]
* GalacticConqueror: He is introduced crushing the skull of [[ComicBook/NewGods Forager]] after declaring the conquest of his world.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Easily the most dangerous villain to appear in the show so far, but he doesn't appear interested in Earth, much less Gotham City. His only so far has been supplying an army of his Parademons to Harley. [[spoiler: And after Harley backed out of the deal, Doctor Psycho took control of the army made a deal with Darkseid that if he killed Harley as punishment for walking out of the deal, Darkseid would give him Earth.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Similar to Lex Luthor, he has plenty of funny moments, but the plot of the second season does get more serious with his introduction and Harley getting an army of Parademons. [[spoiler: When Doctor Psycho is displeased with Harley not wanting to use the Parademon army to TakeOverTheWorld, he takes control of the Parademons and plans to conquer the world himself.]]
* LargeAndInCharge: He is a giant, even making King Shark look tiny in comparison.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Despite wanting Doctor Psycho to kill Harley for breaking her deal with him, when Harley does defeat Psycho he is so impressed with Harley that he offers her the means to conquer Earth. Downplayed since when she backs out of the deal, he swear to kill her in the future.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: Quickly notices Harley is trying to fill a void in her heart and advises that what she is doing won't work.
* VillainOfAnotherStory: He is a GalacticConqueror and a much more dangerous villain than any of the show's cast, but his appearance so far has just been as a benefactor to Harley Quinn.
[[/folder]]

!!Superheroes

[[folder:The Justice League]]
A group of superheroes who work together to protect the world from threats too great for them to beat alone. Their membership includes Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, and Aquaman.
----

* AdaptationalJerkass: They are noticable less "heroic" than in other versions. In season one, they nearly banish Harley and her crew to the Phantom Zone forever without a trial based on a ''hunch'' that they were responsible for the killer trees in Gotham, and Ivy has to plead for Wonder Woman to use her lasso to prove she's not lying. In season two, they show no gratitude toward Harley for freeing them from the Queen of Fables' spellbook and are willing to kill Harley's brainwashed crew if they give them too much trouble to simply subdue them. Wonder Woman shows no gratitude for Harley and Ivy saving Themyscira, and after they subdue the brainwashed Ivy, they declare that she is too dangerous to be let go, so they plan to throw her in the Phantom Zone, explicitly stating she will be in there forever, meaning they have no intention of freeing her after defeating [[spoiler:Dr. Psycho]]. When Harley tells them to throw her in there too because she can't live without Ivy, Superman nonchalantly says "Okay".
* GoodCounterpart: To the Legion of Doom, naturally.
* ThePlotReaper: Non-fatal example. [[spoiler:The Queen of Fables sucks them into her storybook in the penultimate episode of Season 1, as otherwise the question would come up of why they aren't helping save Gotham from Joker's takeover.]]
* PutOnABus: Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Flash take a long-term bus trip when [[spoiler:they're sucked into the Queen of Fables' storybook.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While they (not unfairly) assume Poison Ivy is behind [[spoiler:the monstrous trees rampaging Gotham]], when she claims it wasn't her while under the influence of the Lasso of Truth, they stand down and give Harley's crew a chance to explain themselves.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Batman]]
!!ComicBook/{{Batman}} (Bruce Wayne)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DiedrichBader
The protector of Gotham City.
----
* ActionDad: To Damian.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: A classic Type 2, who strikes fear into the hearts of criminals by both wearing the emblem of a bat and styling himself after one. Harley enjoys mocking that [[BestialityIsDepraved he must also fuck them]].
* BeneathTheMask: "Batman's Back Man" reveals that beneath his serious superhero persona, he's a complete {{Manchild}} who is stubborn to an almost suicidal degree.
* BerserkButton: When the Joker brings up the death of Jason Todd while Batman interrogates him and mocks Batman over it, he completely loses it and slams the Joker hard enough against a window to crack it and make him spurt blood out of his mouth.
* CastingGag: He's voiced by Creator/DiedrichBader, who previously played Bats in one of the LighterAndSofter Batman animated adaptations, ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''.
* TheComicallySerious: How the show treats his usual stoicism; his serious, straight-faced reactions to everyone else's insanity are a source of humor for the show.
* ConvenientComa: [[spoiler:The first episode of Season 2 reveals he did survive the collapse of the Joker's tower, but has been in a coma for months.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: He is a [[TheCowl cowl]] hero who protects Gotham like most versions.
* DatingCatwoman: He and Catwoman are intimate enough that she knows he "waxes everything". He also has a kid with the daughter of the leader of a clan of assassins.
* FatalFlaw: Pride and [[IneffectualLoner selfishness]]. Batman likes to think he can take everything on by himself. In the show, he's been shown very wrong ''twice'' -- when he brought out some PoweredArmor against Bane and failed, and years back when he called "beginner's luck" that Harley managed to divine the location of a bomb from the Joker.
* FriendshipDenial: When Gordon asks for his emotional support as a friend, Batman asserts they're co-workers who should only talk about fighting crime. The already unstable Gordon cracks because of this.
* GoodParents: When he sees Damian is distraught over his failure at being Harley's nemesis, he tries to cheer him up with his favorite dish - a grilled cheese sandwich with the Robin symbol on it - and tries consoling him by explaining how he himself "late-bloomer" when it comes to having his own nemesis. On-top of his PapaWolf moments, this shows that Batman is putting in the effort to being an actual ''dad'' to Damian and not just a master/ward relationship, [[AdaptationalNiceGuy something that fans would argue is more than can be said for other versions of the character]].
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He's only a supporting character in this show.
* HopeBringer: Despite being injured and gone for months, upon his return and seen on Batgirl's videos, the city instantly stands up to the villains. People celebrating his return and making Two-Face team up with Bane despite earlier saying no.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He feels he is the only one who can manage the villains in Gotham. This lone wolf attitude gets him in trouble on a few occasions when he is taken down and in need of assistance. Later subverts this trope when trusting Batgirl with helping the city upon rescuing him.
* IneffectualLoner: His flaw is that Batman is grossly self-reliant and isolates himself from his friends and family when he believes they are interfering with his duties as Batman. [[spoiler: He ignores Alfred's warnings when told that he should rest in order to recover from his injuries, but he ignores him and is almost killed by Two-Face's gang after being brutalized by Bane.]]
* InsistentTerminology: The image on his suit is a ''symbol'', not a ''logo'', and he will not hear otherwise.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: His standard method for interrogating criminals is beating the shit out of them. It doesn't really work for him, especially when he tries it on the Joker.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: He's this to the chronically on-edge Gordon by virtue of being his OnlyFriend, to the extent that Gordon summons Batman on occasion just to talk about the problems in his life. Batman insisting that they're just "coworkers" in ''You're a Damn Good Cop, Jim Gordon'' causes Gordon to suffer a breakdown. [[spoiler:Batman being missing for months at the time Gotham has been turned into an apocalyptic wasteland sends Gordon past the DespairEventHorizon.]]
* NoHeroToHisValet: Alfred Pennyworth is perhaps the only human being in the world who can give Batman orders and call him out when his stubbornness goes too far.
* NoSocialSkills: Like many other versions of his character, he often struggles with expressing affection towards other people. This ends up playing a part in ''You're a Damn Good Cop, Jim Gordon'', in which Batman's dismissal of his and Gordon's friendship causes Gordon to snap.
* NotSoDifferent: Away from the villains he's fighting, he's just as stubborn and childish as Harley can get.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He isn't ''completely'' immune to the show's bizarre nature, at one point giving a completely serious birds-and-the-bees lecture to Damian about how [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything he was a "late bloomer" when it came to getting his own nemesis]]. [[spoiler:After he wakes up from his coma in Season 2, he also displays a childishly stubborn side to himself, whining to Alfred about how he wants to be outside fighting crime. It's pretty similar to how his Creator/WillArnett [[WesternAnimation/TheLEGOBatmanMovie counterpart]] acts. And he did install [[BrickJoke a codpiece in his armored batsuit that fires missiles]].]]
* NotSoStoic: He looked briefly freaked out when [[spoiler:the Joker graphically killed the Scarecrow.]] As it turns out, he can also be childishly petulant when he's around just Alfred.
* OnlySaneMan: He constantly keeps Jim on track while interrogating Harley and even outright asks her why she's staying with a man that treats her like dirt.
** The events of "Batman's Back Man" show that this is only in comparison to everybody else. Batman is ''actually'' a total {{Manchild}} who acts more like a rebellious teenager who treats his butler like a FantasyForbiddingFather. He just hides all of this with an ''incredibly'' well constructed facade.
* PapaWolf: Batman swoops in to save Robin from King Shark on a bloodlust high, and is furious with Harley for putting him in such danger. Bonus points for this Robin being Damian Wayne, Batman's biological son.
* PetTheDog: Despite frequently coming to blows with Harley, (and despite her nearly killing Robin) [[EveryoneHasStandards he's disgusted by how the Joker treats her]] and genuinely wants her to leave him for good.
* SaveTheVillain: Saves Harley after the Joker tries to push her into the ocean.
** [[spoiler: Saves Harley and Ivy during the collapse of the Joker's lair.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Batman himself admits he isn't any good at expressing emotion and likes to keep things professional, but he isn't incapable of caring for others. He can try and be a good father to Damian and despite claiming he and Gordon are "just co-workers", Batman does appreciate their alliance enough to make pictures of him partying with Gordon his screensaver.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Despite Harley being an unhinged supervillain, Batman legitimately is disgusted by how poorly the Joker treats her and is sympathetic to her whenever she gets a reminder of how much of a DomesticAbuser he is.
--> '''Batman''' ''(solemnly)'': "Some things never change, Quinn."
* WorfHadTheFlu: His poor showing against Bane even with his PoweredArmor was due to him getting rusty, having just recovered from his coma.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Wonder Woman]]
!!ComicBook/WonderWoman (Diana of Themyscira)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/VanessaMarshall
An Amazonian princess turned superhero.
----
* OnlySaneWoman: Her most noticeable status among all the other heroes. Includes doing lots of eye rolls.
* ShockwaveClap: When Doctor Psycho does a PsychicStrangle on her, she escapes by crashing her vambraces together to knock him away with the shockwave.
* UngratefulBitch: When Harley mentions that she saved Themyscira to try and get her to try and not kill the mind controled Ivy out of gratitude, Wonder Woman just tells Harley to leave, stating she can't promise Harley's safety if she remains on the battlefield.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Superman]]
!!ComicBook/{{Superman}} (Clark Kent)
->'''Voiced by:''' James Wolk
The world's greatest hero and protector of Metropolis.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: Though he's still extremely powerful, he is vulnerable to Poison Ivy's pheremones. In the comics, the pheremones have no effect on him unless they are mixed with kryptonite.
* {{Adorkable}}: He's introduced smashing through a wall and spitting out some rubble because his mouth was open. Then there's the way he confirms a sushi dinner date with Lois.
-->'''Superman:''' You know how I...''roll''.
* JerkassBall: In the season 2 finale, he has no objections to Ivy being banished to the Phantom Zone forever instead of freeing her after the threat is dealt with, and he is perfectly willing to throw Harley in there too.
* NiceGuy: This is ''Superman'' we're talking about. As well as heroic, he is friendly, polite, encouraging, and overall pleasant to both heroes and villains.
* PassThePopcorn: His reaction to Harley and Ivy tag-teaming Batman on Tawny's show is to shrug and keep eating sushi.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Robin]]
!!ComicBook/{{Robin}} (Damian Wayne)
->'''Voiced by:''' Jacob Tremblay
Batman’s pre-teen son and sidekick.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: "Nice" might be going a bit far, but he's a lot more playful and less militantly pragmatic than most versions of Damian. Even though the "cute kid" shtick is mostly just an act (we see his normal, super-serious self when he's alone with Batman), he's not above putting on such an act in the first place.
* AdaptationalWimp: He's never treated as a physical threat despite his boast of being trained by assassins indicating that he should be. Harley leaves him hanging from a hook by his belt in their first encounter, and effortlessly finds and kidnaps him when she needs to later in the episode. To be fair, he '''is''' a 12-year-old kid, and all the ninjutsu in the world can't compensate for body mass. He also randomly gets nosebleeds and [[InopportuneVoiceCracking his voice cracks when he tries to sound tough]].
* BrattyHalfPint: Wouldn't be Damian if he wasn't this way. He calls Harley a clown and old, and gets hung up on a meat hook for his troubles.
* BrokenPedestal: Tawny is extremely disappointed when it turns out that Robin isn't the "sweet potato pie" that he appears to be after the latter was tricked into an EngineeredPublicConfession by Harley.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: His only appearance in the second season is an early cameo. His absence is particularly notable in the Batman-centric episode that not only spends a great deal of time at Wayne Manor, but also focuses on how Gotham's heroes have been getting by without the Bat.
* CompositeCharacter: The character is Damian Wayne, but his anime-esque artstyle is clearly a reference to the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' version of Robin, who is generally assumed to be Dick Grayson. On top of that, his egotistical attitude also brings to mind the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' incarnation of the character.
* CutenessProximity: Provided they don't already know what a brat he is, everyone treats Robin like a basket of kittens. Even ''Ivy'', who both ''knows'' what a brat he is ''and'' has a serious disliking for people in general, thinks he's adorable.
* DeliberatelyCuteChild: He goes on Tawny's talk show and plays cutesy for the camera.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: He tries to convince others that he's as cool and strong as Batman, but he's a bratty kid and a sidekick, so no one takes him seriously.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: His large eyes and wild hair are more anime-esque than any other character, [[CompositeCharacter not unlike Dick Grayson]] in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''.
* RealityEnsues: For all his training, he's still a prepubescent child. Without much body mass, he's not much of a direct threat.
* ShonenHair: Has a spiky, jet-black haircut that’s straight out of an anime series.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Is this to Harley, who at least wants a nemesis "with some hair on his chest".
* SmallNameBigEgo: He's Damian, so a mammoth ego is basically mandatory, but he's a sidekick so his insistence that he and Harley are arch enemies hurts her reputation.
* TakingUpTheMantle: Played for laughs when he [[spoiler:tries to replace Batman when he has gone missing after the fall of the Joker's tower. He puts on Batman's suit, which on a person half the volume of Batman leaves it hanging off in many places and scrunched up in others]].
* YearningForANemesis: He complains about wanting a nemesis because all his fellow Teen Titans have one.

[[folder:Aquaman]]
!!ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} (Arthur Curry)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChrisDiamantopoulos
The sovereign ruler of Atlantis and protector of the seas.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: While usually depicted with immense superhuman strength from living at the bottom of the ocean, here he can't manage to get untangled from Ivy's giant kelp fronds and has to ashamedly ask his dolphin friend for help. Also, in the comics he can tank punches from Superman, but Harley is able to hurt him. Downplayed, as he ''is'' still tough enough to keep the Legion at bay single-handed without much trouble, even though almost nobody takes him seriously.
* CurbStompBattle: Defeats several Legion members single-handedly. Harley turns out to be no match for him without Ivy's help and she only manages to survive by tricking him into breaking a fish tank, causing Aquaman to take the fish to water.
* {{Expy}}: His portrayal seems to be more Namor's than Arthur Curry's.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He has no problem trying to kill Harley and Ivy for stealing from him.
* IAmXSonOfY: He always introduces himself with "It is I, Aquaman, son of Atlan, heir to the Throne of Atlantis!" Nobody cares.
* LargeHam: Maybe the only person whose real self is just as bombastic as Clayface's portrayal of him. Works against him as Clayface easily convinces the guards chasing Harley and co. that he's the real deal.
* MythologyGag: His referring to himself as the "son of Atlan" comes from the early DC Comics, where Atlan was really his father.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In a fight with Harley, he ends up breaking a fish tank.
* NoSell: Harley pummels him after he hurts Ivy, and it does nothing.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: He wields a trident that shoots energy blasts.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Easily restrained by Ivy's plants, but able to take on the whole Legion of Doom single-handedly, but ''also'' easily injured by Harley's punches ''until'' he suddenly isn't. Good luck making any sense of how tough he's supposed to be.

!!ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} (Barbara Gordon)
->'''Voiced by:''' Briana Cuoco
The daughter of Commissioner Jim Gordon who strives to become a fighter of crime.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: An energetic college student who fawns over Batman, gets giddy after fighting a supervillain, and awkwardly tries to hang out with Harley and Ivy. Check.
* BrainyBrunette: She has chestnut hair like her father and shows observation skills that give her potential as a detective.
* CastingGag: She is voiced by Briana Cuoco, sister of Kaley Cuoco (Harley Quinn).
* CompositeCharacter: Is Barbara Gordon, but with Stephanie Brown's personality, and starts off fighting in a hood and ski mask against a clue-based villain. She also starts her career in No Man's Land, like Cassandra Cain.
* DaddysGirl: While Batman inspired her superhero costume, the one who made her want to be a hero was her father.
* EnemyMine: She's willing to side with Harley and Ivy even though she knows those two are criminals because she wants to get rid of the Riddler too.
* HeroWorshipper: Her dorm room has several posters of Batman and she designs her superhero suit after him, showing how much she admires him.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Or in this case, daughter. She's just as clingy, goofy and Batman-obsessed as her dad, just in a slightly different way.
* MythologyGag: Her Batsuit is like the "Batgirl of Burnside" outfit (but [[Series/Batman1966 purple with yellow trim]]), and as Barbara she's [[WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls2019 wearing a hoodie]].
* NiceGirl: She's very kind to both heroes and Harley's crew.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: In contrast to her stressed-out and cynical father, she is a cheerful and optimistic girl.
* ThrillSeeker: She loves the adrenaline rush from fighting crime.
* YouthfulFreckles: She has a cluster of freckles on each cheek, which reflects her energetic and inexperienced character.

[[folder:Commissioner Jim Gordon]]
!!Commissioner Jim Gordon
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopherMeloni
The commissioner of the Gotham Police Department.
----
* ActionDad: Once he finally pulled out of his depression by his daughter, Gordon goes to kill all of Two-Face's goons and beats Two-Face without any of Batgirl's help.
* ActorAllusion: Gordon's only a hair's width from sinking into becoming Meloni's ''Series/{{Happy}}'' character.
* AdaptationalBadass: It takes some time, but once he actually gets his act together, he proves to be probably the most badass version of Jim Gordon ever. An out-of-shape Gordon puts on a clean police uniform, marches into the GCP headquarters with two guns and lays waste to Two-Face's entire gang, knocks out Two-Face and tosses him in a cell. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis All. On. His. Own.]] Badass!
* AdaptationalJerkass: This version of Gordon is more of a trigger happy glory hound than any previous incarnation, being prone to pulling reckless stunts in order to be validated as a hero. Though given his [[NoRespectGuy general treatment in the show]], he desire for validation is somewhat understandable.
* AdaptationalUgliness: Gordon usually looks fairly upright and clean-cut. Here, the man sports a constant five o'clock shadow, [[ExhaustedEyeBags huge bags under his eyes]], and a generally frazzled, sloppy appearance. It's implied that this is all due to the stress of his job.
* TheAlcoholic: It's implied in the first season with his disheveled appearance, but by Season 2, with Gotham in ruins, he's seen drinking straight from the bottle when he tries in vain to signal for Batman.
* BadassNormal: Whilst he might be going through a rough time in his life, this is still ''the'' Commissioner Jim Gordon. When he gets his act together, Two-Face learns this the hard way.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Even Gordon's OnlyFriend Batman doesn't take Gordon's unstable condition seriously. Gordon develops a quick friendship with Clayface's sentient right hand, who is the only one who has been willing to listen to his personal life's problems, not judge him and give him wise advice. Even after the hand gets reabsorbed into Clayface, Gordon can't bring himself to shoot Clayface and hurt the hand.
* CarpetOfVirility: No wonder why the Joker was picking hair out of his teeth for weeks after eating sushi off his body. [[ItMakesSenseInContext It makes more sense in context]] with Harley and the Joker celebrating in the past.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: Actually, Gordon's plan to [[spoiler: arrest the villains and stop them]] was actually really good. Well thought out. Until it went [[KnowWhenToFoldEm off]] when Harley came and stopped him.
* {{Cuckold}}: He reveals to Batman in Season 1, Episode 6 he's discovered his wife Barbara is cheating on him... and he honestly can't blame her given what a complete wreck he is.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of TheCommissionerGordon. The show actually shows how being in charge of Gotham City would take a toll on someone. Unlike most media, where Gordon remains tough as hell in the face of overwhelming adversity, this Gordon is a deeply stressed out mess of a man who's always on edge. Co-creator Justin Halpern discussed this:
--> '''Justin Halpern''': What would Commissioner Gordon actually be like if he was the Commissioner of the Gotham Police Department, saw what he saw every single day for 27 years, and never went to therapy? What would that look like? He'd be so fucked up and constantly on edge. He's got a thankless job, he's doing the day-to-day grunt work, filling out all the paper work, and he's oftentimes maligned. That ultimately drives a man to madness. His marriage is falling apart, he's drinking too much and has no real friends.
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Batman's disappearance, the police force abandoning him coupled with his wife asking for a divorce causes Jim to lose the will to fight crime.]]
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: After Gotham falls into chaos, all of Gordon's officers abandon him and join Bane's faction. This nearly drives poor Jim to the DespairEventHorizon.]]
* FinalBoss: Surprisingly enough, for season 2. He plans to infiltrate Poison Ivy's wedding and arrest all the supervillains in attendance.
* FormerlyFit: [[spoiler: Prior to Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face, Jim was a fitness enthusiast when he was in more control of his stress.]]
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: [[spoiler: His daughter brings him back to his senses by reminding him that he matters to her and feeling sorry for himself won't fix the problems with Gotham. Not only does Jim listen to this and clean himself up, he also reclaims the GCPD from Two-Face '''[[OneManArmy single-handedly]]''']]
* HesBack: Learning that his daughter is Batgirl seems to motivate him enough to dump out his booze and head back to Gotham P.D. headquarters, where he singlehandedly takes out Two-Face's crew and throws Two-Face in jail.
* ImpaledPalm: When Two-Face tries to stab him with a knife, Gordon stops it with the palm of his own hand.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: [[spoiler: Gordon wishes just to be thanked, showed some gratitude for all his effort. Thus he tries to arrest all the villains and decides to listen to Two-Face in running for mayor to finally be thanked like Batman.]]
* IWasQuiteTheLooker: Before the job crushed his mind and his spirit, Gordon was fit, clean-shaven, and had no grey hairs.
* JadedWashout: Early in Season 2, his TraumaCongaLine has reduced him to a cynical, depressed man who lazes around his daughter's dorm in his underwear.
* JerkassBall: In the season 2 finale, he and his police force attack during Poison Ivy's wedding to arrest all the attending villains, ruining her wedding day.
* LetsGetDangerous: His takeover of the police station in Season 2 Episode 7 is this. After a season and a half of watching him fall apart a little more every episode, it's relatively surprising to see that yes, there ''is'' a reason he was able to keep his job as long as he did.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler: After doing everything alone to save Gotham, he's shunted aside by 3 lesser-known heroes and the mayor himself. Still reeling from this monumental show of ingratitude, especially since these heroes and the mayor did nothing to earn the keys to the city, Two-Face convinces Gordon to run for mayor so he can finally get the respect he rightfully deserves.]]
* MustHaveCaffeine: He's clutching a mug of coffee during every scene he's a part of in the first episode.
* NervousWreck: He's constantly on-edge and never calms down.
* ParentChildTeam: [[spoiler: After he snaps out of his drunken funk, he begins working with his daughter, Batgirl, to restore Gotham city.]]
* PermaStubble: He has a five o'clock shadow beardstache and is one bad day away from having a stress-induced mental breakdown.
* PostClimaxConfrontation: [[spoiler:The primary villain of the season, Doctor Psycho, had already been defeated and incarcerated by the final episode of Season 2, with Commissioner Gordon showing up to crash Ivy's wedding for the sake of giving it an antagonist.]]
* RealityEnsues: As a normal man keeping law in a town/world of supervillains, he is on the edge of sanity.
* RunningGag:
** This version of Gordon has a tendency to (much like Scully from ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'') give TooMuchInformation about his health problems, such as his anal polyp or [=STDs=].
** He also has a tendency to matter-of-factly state his personal flaws or traumas with complete awareness about how they affect those around him, seemingly not making any effort to change them.
* SanitySlippage: Staying in charge of a WretchedHive like Gotham has taken a distinct toll on the man, leaving the poor guy a mess. One conversation with Harley nearly puts him in a frothing rage and Batman is the one that reigns ''him'' in.
* SidetrackedByTheAnalogy: When Harley mentions going on an all-inclusive vacation with the Joker, he rants about how "all-inclusive" is BS because they charge you for little amenities. Batman snaps him out of it.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: Is last seen in Season 1 being dragged away by the Joker's troops. Whether he was executed or he survived the destruction of Gotham is not made clear. However, he appears alive and well ([[DespairEventHorizon physically but not mentally]]) at the start of Season 2.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Back when he was fit and more mentally stable, he was best friends with Harvey Dent, Harvey's transformation into Two-Face may have been the catalyst for his mental breakdown. [[spoiler: After a motivational speech from his daughter, Jim defeats his former friend and locks him up.]]

[[folder:Alfred Pennyworth]]
!!Alfred Pennyworth
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomHollander
Faithful butler to Bruce Wayne and trusted companion of Batman.
----
* ActionDad: He's Bruce Wayne's father in all but blood, and he can hold his own in a fight.
* AdaptationalBadass: While Alfred has always been capable of meeting force with force, [[spoiler:this incarnation becomes a masked hero in Batman's absence.]]
* AdaptationalDyeJob: One of the rare versions of Alfred in animation who still possesses a full head of hair.
* AgentPeacock: [[spoiler: He dresses up as the Macaroni, a 19th-century Englishman dandy with make-up and an AwesomeButImpractical wig that contains an arsenal.]]
* BattleButler: Unlike other incarnations who are only Bruce's ParentalSubstitute and snarky butler, [[spoiler:Alfred joins the fight against crime after Gotham becomes a hellhole and his master is recovering from serious injuries.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Alfred is always unceasingly polite, but he easily takes down mooks just fine.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: [[spoiler:His own costumed hero outfit looks like a walking "Kick Me" sign, according to Bruce. He's still effective to fight off some goons.]]
* TheCaretaker: He looks after Bruce after he's gravely injured [[spoiler:after failing to escape from the Joker's collapsing tower]] and forbids him from going back to fight crime until he's fully recovered.
* CovertPervert: When Dr. Psycho projects footage of [[spoiler:Harley and Ivy hooking up]] to all of Gotham, Alfred closes the curtains in disapproval...and then immediately peeps through them.
* HeavySleeper: Batman's new armor flies around all over Alfred's bedroom and that still fails to wake him up.
* HiredHelpAsFamily: Alfred behaves more like Bruce's adoptive father than his butler.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[spoiler: Whenever he appears as the Macaroni, an English theme of "Yankee Doodle" plays.]]
* MythologyGag: The [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age of Comics]] had Batman with a bunch of allies and villains who adapted historical-period costumes as their motifs (the Cavalier the most remembered one today).
* ObfuscatingStupidity: His choice of costume and moniker must have been intended to make everyone underestimate him and hide just how effective he is. Even Bruce was taken in and scoffed at first.
* OnlySaneMan: In all of Wayne Manor, in all of Gotham, Alfred is the constant voice of reason.
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:He saves his surrogate son Batman from Two-Face's goons.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: Alfred raised Bruce after the loss of his parents.
* ServileSnarker: "British dry wit" may as well be Alfred's mother tongue.
* UnfazedEveryman: Alfred is nigh unflappable, a result of years in Batman's service.

!!Lois Lane
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatalieMorales
IntrepidReporter for the Daily Planet and Superman's girlfriend.
----
* DamselInDistress: Harley's crew hold her prisoner after she writes a bad article on Harley. Not that Lois cares that much, seeing as she has a literal living god looking out for her. To quote Poison Ivy, "You can't fuck with Lois Lane".
* IntrepidReporter: But again, it's fairly easy to be intrepid with the whole living god as her boyfriend thing.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: In this series, Lois is only presented as Superman's love interest and Harley kidnaps her hoping it'll get her the chance of making Superman her ArchNemesis.
* UnfazedEveryman: She shows a decided lack of concern over the fact that a team of criminals take her hostage. But when you have Superman taking you on dinner dates on a regular basis, you'd probably wouldn't be concerned about some C-list villains either.

[[folder:Tawny Young]]
!!Tawny Young
->'''Voiced by:''' Tisha Campbell-Martin
A reporter and talk show host.
----
* CombatCommentator: Engages in talk show banter to the camera while a tag team of supervillains (and Batman) are slowly tearing her stage apart.
* CrowdChant: Just like Creator/JerrySpringer or Creator/RickiLake, Tawny's audience chants her name when they get excited, or, in this case, when the Joker throws her into the stalls.
* CutenessProximity: Finds Robin so cute that she can't think straight. She even calls him "a sweet potato pie".
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: She's a black woman with blonde hair.
* ExcitedShowTitle: Her show's logo has an exclamation point. With a heart replacing the dot, no less.
* {{Expy}}: While she is a minor DC character, her talk show persona is clearly modeled on Creator/WendyWilliams.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Her talk show appears to be a platform for both heroes and villains to tell their stories.
* InkSuitActor: Her appearance draws more inspiration from her voice actress [[https://i2.wp.com/eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Tisha-Campbell-The-Real1.jpg?resize=757%2C500&ssl=1 Tisha Campbell-Martin]] than her comic book counterpart.

----
* BestialityIsDepraved: Implied when Bane discusses his credit card expenditure.
-->'''Bane:''' The credit card is for emergencies only, but your bill is all candies and vape pens, and something suspiciously labeled "Dolphin Encounter".
* DisproportionateRetribution: He puts a million dollar bounty on Harley's head because she ruined his bar mitzvah. When Bane scolds him for it, Joshua admits he was being "impulsive."
* JewishAndNerdy: Such a stereotypical nerd that Harley Quinn is able to talk him out of killing her by playing on his insecurities.
* JewishComplaining: Complains that all he wanted was an action figure set.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Maybe. He manages to put a bounty on Harley that even her own parents try to claim, leaving her seriously injured by the end of the episode. The problem is, he tried to use a Legion credit card to cover the bounty, prompting Bane to tell him that he should pay it with cash.
* RealityEnsues: Like lots of people everywhere who get their first ever credit card before they even understand how using it works, he thinks it means he's got easy cash and goes overboard on spending.
* SpoiledBrat: Uses an emergency credit card to purchase vapes, candies and a dolphin encounter.
* StupidCrooks: Puts out a hit on Harley Quinn using a credit card instead of cash.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Herman / The Cowled Critic]]
!!Herman
->'''Voiced by:''' Mark Whitten
Doctor Psycho and Giganta's son.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Downplayed. As the Cowled Critic, he's very popular online in the supervillain circle, enough that he's the only internet critic whose opinions the Legion of Doom takes seriously, including his opinions on who should be invited to join them.
* AllGenesAreCodominant: The son of a dwarf father and a giant mother is average-sized.
* CausticCritic: He runs a website aimed at critiquing supervillains.
* ChildByRape: It's not brought up, but he is a result of his father mind-controlling his mother into loving him.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: One of the many things he resents his father for is naming him "Herman".
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is several pitches deeper in his Cowled Critic reviews. It's not known if it's digitally altered to sound deeper or if he can do it naturally.
* FreudianExcuse: {{Invoked|Trope}} on his father's part. Doctor Psycho deliberately made Herman's childhood a living hell so that he would grow up to become a supervillain.
* FriendlessBackground: According to Herman, the reason why he doesn't have many friends is because his father killed anyone who showed any sign of liking him.
* {{Goth}}: He dresses like a typical Goth teenager.
* HatesTheirParent: He has a DartboardOfHate with Doctor Psycho's picture in his room. Given that Doctor Psycho gave him the worst childhood he could give to his son, Herman is justified to hate his father. Their relationship does improve after both admit how proud they are of how evil the other is.
* OverlordJr: His father is relieved that his abuse of his son appears to have the desired effect, and he seems to be embracing the supervillain lifestyle.
* PhoneaholicTeenager: While his parents are arguing on a talk show, he is constantly on his phone.
* SkullForAHead: Wears a CoolMask that gives this impression as the Cowled Critic. The "jaw" of his mask moves in tune with his mouth movements.
* WellDoneSonGuy: All he ever wanted was to impress his father, being afraid that his father abused him so horribly because he wasn't evil enough. They make up when Doctor Psycho praises him for the first time, telling him how proud he is to see his son has grown up to be evil enough to make a malicious review about his own father and his new supervillain team.

[[folder:Jason Praxis]]
!!Jason Praxis
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PhilLaMarr
The sole survivor of the Praxis family reunion massacre.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Instead of just his niece, his entire extended family is murdered.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comics, he had telekinesis that supposedly stem from an ability to control electricity. Here it's a simpler case of ShockAndAwe.
* BungledSuicide: Losing his entire extended family led Jason to end his life by throwing himself into a STAR Labs electric fence. Unfortunately for Harley’s crew, he survived his suicide attempt and gained superpowers.
* CListFodder: A pretty obscure character which makes him fair game to be brutally murdered by the Queen of Fables.
* CompositeCharacter: Oddly enough his electrical powers are more reminiscent of Richard Redditch, the SerialKiller from his origin story.
* DeathByAdaptation: He is alive in the comics, but died here.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Harley mistakes him for a girl due to his pony tail.
* FreakLabAccident: Parodied - he threw himself against the electric fence around STAR labs. The Queen of Fables outright calls how obvious it is that he got powers from it.
* HeroAntagonist: He's completely justified in wanting revenge, but ends up against the team since his target is a friend of theirs.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: The Queen of Fables kills him with a spear through the head.
* LargeHam: His heroic monologue about his desire to avenge his family. This annoys the Queen of Fables, who's clearly used to hearing these speeches.
* ShockAndAwe: He threw himself against the STAR Labs electric fence, giving him these powers.
* SoleSurvivor: He's the only one of the Praxis family to not have been killed by the Big Bad Wolf because Harley pretended there was no survivors when she spotted him. The Queen of Fables personally kills him towards the end of the episode anyway.
* VictimOfTheWeek: His episode has him getting killed by the Queen of Fables after Harley foils his revenge.
* YankTheDogsChain: He is killed right after he is tricked into believing he has avenged his family and can move on with his life.

[[folder:Nick, Sharon, and Barry Quinzel]]
!!Nick and Sharon Quinzel
->'''Nick voiced by:''' Creator/CharlieAdler
->'''Sharon voiced by:''' Susie Essman

Harley's parents, for lack of a better word. Barry was Harley's dead brother.
----
* AbusiveParents: They were the emotionally abusive kind towards Harley her entire life, never showing her real love and being dismissive of her wishes and skills. They move into physically abusive when they try to ''beat, stab and shoot'' her for her bounty.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Sharon is more relaxed in the show than she is in ''ComicBook/GothamCitySirens'', presumably because Barry and his kids don't live with her in the adaptation.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Both are FAR WORSE than their comic counterparts. Harley's mother in the comics was shown to at least care about her and disapproved of Nick's conman ways, while Nick was ready to shoot the Sportmaster's brains out if he didn't leave Harley, and forced the Sportmaster's minions to save Harley's friends. Here, both hatched a plot to have Harley assassinated.
* AdaptedOut: Harley's family appeared in ''ComicBook/GothamCitySirens''. In that story, Harley had a couple of nephews, which weren't adapted for the show due to their father [[DeathByAdaptation dying as a teenager and not fathering anyone]].
* AintTooProudToBeg: They fold like paper when Harley is able to dominate them in a fight.
* AgeLift: Barry is alive and well in ''Sirens'', and he is a guy around his late-20's/early-30's with multiple "wives" and kids. In the show, he died as a teenager and was cremated.
* ApatheticCitizens: Their only concern regarding their daughter's transformation into a city-threatening supervillain is how it affects their standing with their neighbours.
* BaitTheDog: During most of their debut episode, they act like flawed but caring parents, and repeatedly show love and support to their daughter. Harley even manages to reconnect with her father after they fight the mob together. Then comes the twist of their ParentalBetrayal during the climax of the episode: they are the ones who hired assassins to kill Harley in order to collect her bounty.
* BrokenPedestal: Harley genuinely loved and respected her mother, unlike how she felt about her father. That changed when her mother tried to kill her.
* BullyingADragon: The only reason they made any headway when they tried to double-cross Harley was because she was going easy on them, and even then they lost. But considering that she used to be the Joker’s right-hand woman and is just as bloody minded as he is at times, it honestly shows how fundamentally shallow and stupid they are. The only reason they walk away is [[NotWorthKilling because Harley doesn’t consider them worth the effort of killing.]]
* DeathByAdaptation: Barry is alive in ''Sirens'' as an adult, but he died as a teenager and was cremated in the show.
* DissonantSerenity: Right after shooting his own grown-up daughter, Nick talks to Harley like she was 9 and he just had to cancel a trip to the park.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Averted. Neither seems particularly fazed when Harley's grandparents are murdered in front of them.
* {{Expy}}: Of Al and Peg Bundy from ''Series/MarriedWithChildren''. But at least Al stuck by his kids whenever they had trouble, and would never collect a bounty on them.
* FemaleMisogynist: Sharon is [[ImpliedTrope implied]] to be a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example of this. She insisted that her daughter marry a doctor, and was not satisfied with her ''becoming one'', implying that she follows the outdated traditional belief that men are more important than women.
* {{Fingore}}: Nick is missing his two thumbs, one from a past run in from the mob and the other from getting it shot off as Harley is saving him from the mob in the present.
* FormerlyFat: Sharon used to be overweight.
* HateSink: Nick is a gambling addict who asked his teenage daughter to throw a gymnastics competition so he could win a bet he placed against her, has been in and out of prison for Harley's entire life, and hired assassins to kill his daughter so he can collect the bounty money on her head to pay off his debts. Even with some of this PlayedForLaughs, he is a despicable human being and treats Harley just as badly as the Joker did, except he's ''her father''. Her mother Sharon turns out to be no better.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** Nick and Sharon plead with Harley to not hurt them; Nick states that "family don't kill each other" right after he tried to kill his own daughter for money.
** Similarly, Sharon blames Harleen and her transformation into Harley Quinn for making her and Nick the laughing stock of their neighborhood, but thinks nothing of the possibility of Nick being such a deadbeat being the real reason. She even says Harley always had bad taste in men. Harley calls her out on both of these.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Nick and Sharon are initially presented as deeply flawed parents who nonetheless seemingly still care about Harley deep down. Then it's revealed that they tipped off assassins to ''kill their own daughter'' just to collect a finder's fee.
* JewishMother: Up to eleven. Sharon complains that all she wanted was what every Jewish mother wants; for Harleen to marry a doctor, while wiping the blood off a knife pulled from a body. Harley pointing out that she ''is'' a doctor doesn't deter her mother, either.
* KarmaHoudini: While Nick loses his remaining thumb and gets beaten to a pulp, the only comeuppance Sharon gets is having some of her property destroyed and being given a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and Harley decides that they're NotWorthKilling.
* KosherNostra: Sortof. While not exactly a mobster himself, Nick's entire life seems to revolve around them.
* LackOfEmpathy: It's very telling that despite their daughter's own flaws, she has people she honestly cares about and has some lines left that she doesn't intend to cross. They, on the other hand are manipulative, shameless monsters who care for nothing and nobody, to the point that they didn't give a hoot when even ''their own parents'' got offed right in front of them.
* {{Matricide}}: While it isn't clear whose mother she is, Harley's grandmother dies from the actions of Harley's parents trying to kill their daughter.
* NoAccountingForTaste: Nick is a deadbeat who gets gets repeatedly thrown in jail for crimes and debts. Every time he's released from prison, Sharon takes him back without question, much to Harley's disgust.
* NotSoDifferent: Both invoked and subverted. Harley admits she has bad taste in men like her mother, ''but'' she is not a deadbeat and traitor like her father.
* OffingTheOffspring: They try to kill their own daughter after finding out there was a million dollar bounty on her.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Their son and Harley's brother, Barry, died in his teens.
* ParentalBetrayal: Right after they make Harley think they love her and welcome her into their home, they outright try to kill her to collect her bounty.
* {{Patricide}}: While it isn't clear whose father he is, Harley's grandfather dies from the actions of Harley's parents trying to kill their daughter.
* PetTheDog: Sharon admits that she only wanted to do what was best for Harley in the most passive aggressive way she could. She probably felt that when Harley became a criminal, she was a lost cause. It kind of helps that Harley was angrier and more hateful toward her father than her mother.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: They're both highly sexist, never having encouraged Harley's dream of being president because she's a woman and only wanting her to marry a doctor despite her ''being'' one. They're both also extremely prejudiced towards the Irish.
* RealityEnsues:
** Being the parents of a supervillainess/supervillain's tramp tends to lower your social status.
** Also, they're just normal people up against the Joker's former henchwoman, there was no way they could last against her, even with hired assassins.
* TheSociopath: Potentially both of them. Nick more obviously since he is a conman who puts his own skin before his daughter's dreams and even tries to have her killed. While Sharon is nicer, she drops the facade once Harley fails to die after the second assassination attempt and seems to have a very controlling view of her daughter's life. Both put on the mask of caring about Harley while still secretly plotting to have her killed to collect on the bounty for her. Also, neither of them seems particularly perturbed by their own parents getting killed in front of them.
* VillainsWantMercy: They try to kill Harley and beat her bloody to get a million dollars. When Harley gets the upper hand and holds a cutter on Nick's neck, they pathetically beg her to spare them because they're "family". Harley is so disgusted that she deems them NotWorthKilling.
* WalkingSpoiler: Their ParentalBetrayal is the big twist of their debut episode.

----
[[index]]

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: All of them have issues with being accepted in the villain community. [[SidekickGlassCeiling Harley is dismissed as the Joker's girlfriend]], [[StrawMisogynist Doctor Psycho is a pariah for his open misogyny]], [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Clayface annoys others with his overly dramatic ways]], and [[HiddenDepths King Shark is a skilled hacker, yet most people who hire him only care that he's a]] SharkMan. [[OnlySaneWoman The only exception is Ivy]], [[LonersAreFreaks who voluntarily keeps herself isolated from most others.]]
* DeadlyDoctor: Dr Psycho, along with Harley and Ivy who both have doctorates in psychology and botany.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The members of the team all care for each other, and most have a loved one outside the team.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite their willingness to commit various crimes, Queen of Fables' [[MurderIsTheBestSolution tendency to murder anything in her way]] disturbs all of them.
** Later, all of them bar [[TokenEvilTeammate Psycho]] have reservations about working with [[spoiler: Darkseid]].
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Harley, has the main goal of joining the Legion of Doom. [[spoiler:When she is temporarily put on ice, the crew loses its energy.]]
** TheLancer: Ivy, cool and aloof, serves as the {{Foil}} to the passionate and unpredictable Harley.
** TheSmartGuy: Dr.Psycho is well versed in all things mental, and even taught Evil 101 at Boston College.
** TheBigGuy: King Shark is normally a GentleGiant ([[GeniusBruiser and a surprisingly talented hacker]]), but can turn into TheBerserker when in Arkham or smells blood.
** TheHeart: Clayface is the most flamboyant of the crew, and serves the group best with his disguises rather than combat prowess.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack:
** Aside from Doctor Psycho, they're all criminals but they are certainly the lesser of two evils when compared the likes of the Joker, the Queen of Fables, and later the Injustice League. Doctor Psycho was disgraced for his misogyny and is only with them to improve his public image. [[spoiler: When Harley doesn't follow through with her alliegence to Darkseid, he betrays them for being too weak.]]
** This is [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] by Batgirl, who sees them more as [[AntiHero Antiheroes]] on account of having spent pretty much the entire second season and the second half of season 1 [[EvilVersusEvil exclusively fighting other supervillains]].
* LovableRogue: For the most part, they act like eccentric, but still [[AffablyEvil affable]] criminals, especially Ivy, Clayface and King Shark, who are perfectly fine with stealing and murder, but have some [[EvenEvilHasStandards lines they don't like to cross]]. The NaiveNewcomer superhero Batgirl actually can't think of them as bad guys even though [[CardCarryingVillain they say otherwise]].
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: They're all ruthless murderers, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but they don't approve of the Queen of Fables murdering an entire family of innocent people.]]
* NominalHero: As of Season 2 they're the only people in any position to deal with the Injustice League. Their motivations are still entirely self-serving and villainous, but based on how the Injustice League is running the city it's pretty clear that them winning would be the far better outcome for the people of Gotham.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A villainous version. They're made up of a clown, a misanthropic EcoTerrorist, a misogynistic DepravedDwarf, an aspiring actor made out of clay, a SharkMan hacker, and an elderly Jewish cyborg war criminal.
* TrueCompanions: [[WeAREStrugglingTogether Disagreements aside]], they ''will'' come to each other's aid whenever possible.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Harley and Ivy are the only women on the team. However there's more focus on them than the rest of the crew.
* UnscrupulousHero: When they target other villains, they are mostly doing it out of revenge than because the villain in question is a mass-murdering psychopath. [[spoiler: Harley joins Darkseid for a while after having an affair with Poison Ivy but backs out after realising that she was insincere about the allegiance and only doing this to deny and move on from the affair.]]
* VillainProtagonist: The crew basically plays hopscotch between this and AntiHero.
* VillainousFriendship: They enjoy doing crime together and form a true bond of friendship that is rare even among the villains of the series.

[[Characters/HarleysCrew Harley's gang, Batgirl cycled her way to their base and tell them to reconsider their actions, even using this trope by saying that for all of their attempt to rule Gotham as a criminal group, they did a good job in fighting against the Injustice League members or at least keeping their presence on low profile.

An [[PsychoPsychologist Arkham psychologist turned supervillain]] after falling in love with one of her patients, ComicBook/TheJoker.

* ActOfTrueLove: In "There's No Place to Go But Down," [[spoiler:Harley wants to take all the blame for taking down half of the Injustice League so Ivy doesn't go to prison with her. Later, Harley is ready to jump to her own death so Ivy can escape from their pit prison and have a happy married life with Kite Man. All this culminates in Harley and Ivy realizing they are in love and kiss in the heat of the moment.]]
[[Characters/HarleyQuinnSupervillains Supervillains]]
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Previous versions of Harley Quinn have her partner up Poison Ivy after leaving the Joker, in other cases, she plays the hero.
** This version of Harley Quinn follows her partnership with Poison Ivy, as Harley wants to overshadow the Joker for once while still coming to terms with the abusive reality of their relationship.
** In season 2, Harley has to learn to trust men and understand what a healthy relationship looks like. She does this because the Joker's abuse tainted her view of relationships and left her with doubts about what an ideal relationship is.
[[Characters/HarleyQuinnSuperheroes Superheroes]]
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The first incarnation of Harley shown to be clearly disturbed long before meeting the Joker.
* AdaptationalBadass: Previous versions of Harley Quinn were incredibly competent but still relied on being partnered with other characters or thugs to stand a real chance in a fight. This version manages to take on the Joker's entire gang by herself and come out on top with only a few minor injuries. It's downplayed later on however as she struggles more with the actual supervillains and superheroes, who naturally have more abilities that could pose a threat to her.
* AdaptationalHeroism: While she isn’t a full fledged hero like she is in [[WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls a few]] [[Film/BirdsOfPrey2020 other]] [[VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs adaptations]] of the character, she’s still more morally sound than a lot of her tradition portrayals. This Harley has standards, cares for her friends, and will even team up with Batman at times.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: In a subtle way concerning her past as a psychiatrist. Most versions of her origin story have her as naive and easily-manipulated NewMeat in Arkham. Here, she actually was very competent at her job prior to meeting the Joker, able to make breakthroughs with patients written off as a lost cause by others such as Poison Ivy. [[spoiler:She's also pretty accurate, albeit in a roundabout way, about Ivy and Kite Man's relationship.]]
* AdaptationalSkimpiness: Harley has yet another run-in with this trope, wearing an outfit similar to her ''Rebirth'' version.
* AdaptationalVillainy: As far as we know, most versions of Harley were fairly normal women prior to meeting the Joker. A trip into Harley's mindscape in ''Being Harley Quinn'' reveals that she's had AxCrazy tendencies since she was a kid. It's even implied she killed an AlphaBitch for spreading a rumor that she lost her virginity to a horse.
* AffectionateNickname: Ivy calls her "Harls".
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Deconstructed to hell and back. She's initially attracted to the Joker because of his dangerous and unique aesthetic, but she eventually finds out that his violent and uncaring nature extends to her as well.
* AlwaysSecondBest: While with the Joker, Harley believed he always loved her until she realised that his one and only was always his [[InLoveWithYourCarnage archnemesis, Batman]]. The realisation that she was the Joker's second best gave her the desire to overshadow him for once in the criminal underworld.
* AscendedFangirl: Even before joining the Joker as his top enforcer, Harley was so fascinated by him that she wrote a thesis on the evil clown.
* AxCrazy: As one might expect from the Joker's former top enforcer, she's short-tempered, unstable, and gleefully, eye-wateringly violent. As if to accentuate how violently insane she is, her happiest memory is apparently chopping one of her dolls' heads off with a cleaver when she was six.
* BadassInDistress: The first episode of Season 2 has Harley being rescued by her crew after she was encased in ice by the Injustice League.
* BadassNormal: She doesn't have any superpowers beyond being an [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower extremely talented gymnast]], but she's the most technically proficient fighter and battlefield tactician of her crew by a long way, and extremely willing to [[CombatPragmatist fight dirty]].
* BareYourMidriff: At the end of the first episode, she discards her jester costume for a revealing bikini-like outfit.
* BatterUp: Her WeaponOfChoice is a painted wooden baseball bat. It's devastating against ordinary humans, but having it shatter against enemies with SuperToughness is her equivalent of TheWorfBarrage.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Several times she gets into fights, and gets hit hard enough to get a bloody nose, but is perfectly fine a few seconds later.
* BenevolentBoss: In contrast with [[BadBoss the Joker]], Harley treats her villain teammates with care and respect instead of disposable {{Mooks}}.
* BettyAndVeronica: [[spoiler:In Season 2, Ivy is torn between her feelings for her friend Harley and her fiancé Kite Man. Harley is the Veronica because she's a reckless, wild and murderous villainess who just got out of an abusive relationship with a psychotic clown. By the end of season 2, Harley makes an effort to clean up her messes, to be a better person and as a result she wins Ivy's heart.]]
* BigBadWannabe: Her goal is to take over the Joker's place as the top supervillain of Gotham. Since the show she stars in is mainly a BlackComedy, she only succeeds at being a regular criminal at best or a nuisance at worst. Her attempts at antagonizing big-league superheroes like Superman and Batman end with her either being ignored or getting the shit beaten out of her. Attempts to join the LegionOfDoom horribly explode in her face.
* TheBrute: This continuity firmly shows that she ''used'' to be this for the Joker, acting as his primary muscle when he can't swamp his enemies in goons. Once she turns on him, his {{mook}}s don't stand a chance.
* BullyingADragon: She mentions an AlphaBitch humiliated Harley by spreading rumors that said Harley lost her virginity to a horse. It's not specified how Harley retaliated, but she does mention [[NoodleIncident the cops interrogated her for hours about what happened to the student.]]
* ButtMonkey: She is used as a punching bag by Gotham's other villains, especially the Joker.
* CardCarryingVillain: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. She desires to become one of the most feared villains of all...but doesn't actually have it in her to follow through with the big league supervillainy that entails, [[EvenEvilHasStandards and often finds herself sickened by the actions of said villains]].
* CelebCrush: She had a big one on Creator/FrankieMuniz as a kid, having dreamed of kidnapping him and tricking him into getting her pregnant.
* ChaoticStupid: A {{Deconstruction}} at the beginning of Season 2. Having [[spoiler:taken down the Joker]] and Gotham being left in ruins, Harley has the perfect chance to rise up as the top villain and completely take control of the city. Instead, she chooses to indulge in the ApocalypseAnarchy and outright refuses to bring back organized crime because she loathes any form of order. The result is that the Injustice League traps her in ice when she refuses to share rulership over Gotham with them and Harley ends up regretting not taking the city for herself sooner. [[spoiler: It's also part of the reasoning why Ivy rejects Harley's advances; she loves being friends with Harley, but Harley's too wild and short-sighted for a long term relationship.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: While still a villain, the first season has Harley gradually realize how selfish a boss and a friend she had been, and resolving to change. This continues into the second season by prioritizing Ivy's happiness with Kite-Man despite her concerns of their relationship's long term stability [[spoiler: and putting her own romantic feelings for Ivy on the back burner for her friend's sake.]]
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: She's not in the same league as the true DC {{Lightning Bruiser}}s like Superman, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman, but by ordinary human standards, she's incredibly fast, strong, and tough. She can dodge gunfire, break bones in a single hit, take an impressive beating, and even fall off the side of a mountain, and walk away with only minor injuries. While she did fall into the same vat of chemicals as the Joker, the show generally treats both their transformations as largely cosmetic, and points to her career as a competitive gymnast as the reason for her combat prowess.
* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: She was a trained psychologist and expertly diagnosed many of the Arkham inmates' mental problems, but it takes her a good long while to acknowledge and confront the serious mental problems she herself has.
* ColorMotif: Carrying over from her trademark jester costume and a playing card motif, her outfit is all in red and black.
* CostumeEvolution: She starts out in her classic jester costume, but severs ties with the Joker and swaps it out for her {{Stripperiffic}} New 52 getup.
* CreepyChild: In her happiest childhood memories, Young Harleen's idea of playing house with her dolls involves mommy (who she gives her mother's name, Sharon) accusing daddy of coming home smelling of "alcohol and whore" and then chopping his head off with a cleaver.
* {{Cuckoosnarker}}: She's a nutjob, but she gets a few snarky quips here and there.
* DarkActionGirl: She's the most battle-oriented and physically strong villainess in the series. And damn that she's brutal to those who take her on.
* DitzyGenius: She is an expert psychologist and competent battle tactician, but her interactions with the Joker show that she's fairly easy to manipulate.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Her driving when stealing the Batmobile is wild, of course it helps that it's [[WeaponizedCar an arsenal full of weapons]].
* DropTheHammer: She initially wields a giant hammer, but it gets [[WreckedWeapon destroyed in battle]].
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Despite the fact that she freed the Justice League from their imprisonment and was the one who ''actually'' stopped [[spoiler:Dr. Psycho and his parademon army]], she is not shown any appreciation by the city of Gotham. The Justice League are awarded for saving the day ''when it was actually Harley''. Likewise, Wonder Woman shows no gratitude toward her for saving Themyscira.
* DumbBlonde: She had this reputation as the Joker's sidekick. It is however, completely wrong. She graduated her high school as valedictorian and was, by all accounts, a perfectly capable clinical psychologist. Her problem is not that she's dumb, but that she hasn't had much reason to value or use her own intelligence in a long time, and is still a little rusty at it. Oh, and she's crazy.
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: {{Subverted|Trope}}. [[spoiler:Harley tells Ivy she loves her when she lets go of her to fall into a pit of flames so Ivy alone can escape. Fortunately, Ivy saves her.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She’s genuinely unnerved and opposed to the Queen of Fables' brutal and horrifying methods.
** Later on, she apologies for accidentally giving a man cancer from a cancer ray.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The DomesticAbuse she suffered at the hands of the Joker, and likely her parents' extremely neglectful and dysfunctional relationship has left her struggling to even comprehend what a healthy romantic relationship looks like and prone to PsychologicalProjection come Season 2. She questions the quality of Ivy and Kite Man's relationship, and when she finds out about Nora, she immediately assumes Mister Freeze froze her to keep her for himself.
* EvilIsPetty: Her initial motive is trying to work her way to become Gotham's top villain so she can rub her success in the Joker's face.
* EvilVersusEvil: While she wants to be the baddest villain in Gotham, Harley fights and takes down other villains most of the time, such as Joker, Queen of Fables, and the Injustice League. This causes Batgirl to think Harley is an AntiHero, which Harley vehemently denies,[[spoiler: at first.]]
* EvilVirtues: Loyalty and Determination. Harley may be a villain but she is a loyal friend. And she never quits.
* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: After her costume switch in the first episode, Harley starts wearing prominent pink and light blue eyeshadow.
* FamilyOfChoice: After she finds out her parents are scumbags who would gladly kill her for her bounty, Harley declares they aren't her family. Instead, she decides the only family she has in the world is her crew and tries everything she can to make amends with them.
* FatalFlaw:
** Her breakup with the Joker left her with the desire to best him and prove herself as her own person. Prior to her character development, she disregarded her personal relationships due to being more focused on overshadowing him.
** In Season 2, she has trouble understanding romance because Ivy's and Mr Freeze's personal, romantic relationships were nowhere near as abusive as her relationship with the Joker was. Harley thawed out Nora because she believed she was being held hostage and she tries breaking up Kite Man and Ivy because she didn't trust his intentions with her and believed she could do better.
* FingerlessGloves: The gloves of her new costume don't cover her fingers.
* FirstFriend: With Ivy, on top of being {{Best Friend}}s. Harley is the first human being Ivy ever opened up to and wanted to trust after a lifetime of being rejected by humanity.
* FirstGirlWins: [[spoiler:No matter how much Ivy honestly liked Kite Man, Harley came into Ivy's life first and they had a much stronger bond way before Kite Man began dating Ivy. In the end, Kite Man himself realizes Ivy really wants to be with Harley despite her denials and calls off their wedding, leading to Ivy running off with Harley.]]
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect:
** As standard for the character, Harley first met the Joker when he was assigned as her patient in Arkham Asylum. He told her sob stories to buy her sympathy and make her think only she could help and love him, which let him take advantage of Harley's own wish of being needed by someone.
** [[spoiler:Retroactively, she also has this with Ivy. In this version, Ivy was Dr. Harleen's patient when she still worked at Arkham Asylum and she was the one who helped Ivy work through her misanthropy. Years later, Harley realizes she has fallen in love with Ivy.]]
* ForcefulKiss: To convince herself that [[spoiler:her kiss with Ivy meant nothing like Ivy says]], she starts kissing her crew and Batgirl at random, to their discomfort.
* FreudianExcuse: Harley blames her criminal life on the fact that her dad is a criminal, and her [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad taste in men]] on her mother's refusal to leave her dad. Harley's plan in Season 1 was to get revenge on the Joker for abusing her and for making her feel like his plaything by joining the Legion of Doom to overshadow him.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Harley blamed the Joker for everything that went wrong in her life until she realised that everything was done by her own choosing.
* GirlishPigtails: After getting a costume switch, she ties her hair up into pigtails. She also had them as a child as revealed in ''Being Harley Quinn''.
* GlorySeeker: After she leaves the Joker, 95% of Harley's actions are for the sake of seeking praise and recognition for her villainy, be it from the public, fellow supervillains or superheroes.
* GoingCommando: As evidenced by the scene where she ends up hanging by her shorts in the Batcave, Harley isn't wearing any underwear.
* HarmfulToMinors: A flashback in ''Being Harley Quinn'' shows young Harleen in front of a window and watching her father's "business meeting" which involved two men brutally beating him up and taking the money from his wallet. Apparently this was just "work" for Harley's father, implying this was a regular occurrence throughout her childhood.
* HatesTheirParent: Harley absolutely loathes her deadbeat mobster of a father. Since he's the reason why she was forced to lose a gymnastics competition she wanted to win badly just so he could win a bet he made against her, it's hard to not see why she hates him so much. To top it off, just when she starts to think her father isn't so bad, he tries to kill her for money.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: This ''is'' someone who fell in love with the Joker, after all. She also assumed Mr. Freeze had imprisoned his wife, only to find out she was sick and he really was trying to save her, though that is somewhat justified given that her poor history with boyfriends and [[AbusiveParents her terrible parents]] have made it difficult for her to comprehend what a happy couple looks like.
* HumanPopsicle: In the opening of Season 2, Harley is captured by the Injustice League and spends two months encased in ice.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: At her core, all Harley wants is someone who sees her value as a person and acknowledges her accomplishments after her own parents constantly demeaned her efforts and goals. What attracted her to the Joker was him recognizing her thesis on him and [[YouGotSpunk spunk]] during their first meeting and stayed with him for so long because he convinced her that she was loved and needed by him, when all he really wanted was to control her. [[spoiler:Eventually, Harley realizes she wants her best friend Ivy's love and is heartbroken by Ivy rejecting her and choosing to go through with marrying Kite Man.]]
* InTheBlood: Her father is a mobster and her mother is completely supportive of it. It's debatable if Harley's turn to villainy and [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys terrible taste in men]] was a result of this or them just being terrible parents, however. And that's not going into the TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior she exhibited on her own.
* InformedKindness: Harley is told by Ivy, her crew (and even Batgirl) that despite being a supervillain, she's a good person. Harley is certainly a better person than many of the villains she faces but her actions, and their consequences, are pretty awful. She's selfish, foolhardy, volatile and most of her decisions have directly or indirectly killed countless innocent people. Quinn even invades [[spoiler: earth with an army of parademons, with the intent of going on a mass killing spree, just to distract from her feelings for Poison Ivy.]] Then again, Ivy is obviously biased because she was treated like shit by people and Harley is her OnlyFriend. As for the others, Batgirl is a NaiveNewcomer who has some HorribleJudgeOfCharacter, as seen when she can't find any reason to doubt Harley and Ivy will take Riddler to Arkham instead of taking him prisoner for their self-benefit.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Because of her extreme immaturity, Harley has a bad habit of placing her own interests and goals before those of others, which more than once comes at the expense of her friends. Ivy at one point lampshades this by criticizing Harley for never showing interest in anything that isn't about her.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: She comes dangerously close to this in "Inner (Para) Demons" [[spoiler:where she lets Psycho talk her into making a deal with Darkseid. Harley is willing to threw her few morals out of the window to unleash a Parademon army on Earth and kill people for no reason. It's until Ivy intervenes that Harley realizes senseless murder won't give her what she really wants: Ivy.]]
* LadySwearsALot: She drops a lot of F-bombs in just the first episode alone.
* LaughablyEvil: Between her violent tendencies and just out-there personality, it's impossible not to get a laugh out of her.
* LightningBruiser: She's fast, acrobatic and formidable with her baseball bat.
* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Harley's father (and mother) is a misogynistic {{Jerkass}} who has always been dismissive of her dreams and has no problems trying to kill her just to get money out of it. Harley blames her unhealthy obsession with abusive and manipulative men like the Joker on her asshole of a father.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Her hair and skin were bleached white by being submerged in the same chemicals that created the Joker.
* LoveEpiphany: [[spoiler:She realizes she's in love with her friend Ivy after their kiss at the end of "There's No Place to Go But Down." Ivy refuses to admit there was any meaning to their kiss and continues her engagement with Kite Man while pretending nothing happened with Harley, resulting in Harley trying to take over the world with the Parademons to vent out her romantic frustration.]]
* LoveHurts: [[spoiler:Harley eventually realizes she loves Ivy romantically, but Ivy is already engaged to Kite Man and refuses to acknowledge the mutual feelings between her and Harley. This leaves Harley frustrated and sad, almost driving her to try and take over Earth with Parademons to distract herself from the pain. It's only reinforced after she finally confesses to Ivy, only for Ivy to turn her down and say that a long-lasting relationship wouldn't work out between the two of them. She tries to put on a strong front as Ivy leaves with Kite Man, only to break down into tears as soon as they're gone.]]
* LoveMakesYouEvil: While she always had a repressed dark side, it was falling in love with Joker what drove to embrace her murderous impulses and become a villainess. [[spoiler:Later, thinking she can't get Ivy because the latter already has Kite Man, Harley makes a deal with Darkseid and uses a Parademon army to massacre the people in Gotham.]]
* LovingAShadow: What attracted Harley to the Joker was envisioning him as a man traumatized by an abusive childhood and who needed her for love and comfort. It's until after her relationship with him ends that Harley learns the story Joker told her about his father beating him wasn't even his [[spoiler:but Ivy's. Soon after that, Harley realizes Ivy is the one she truly loves.]]
* MaamShock: She's annoyed when Robin calls her old.
* MadeOfIron: She regularly takes punishment way more than her lithe figure should be able to tank. In ''So, You Need a Crew?'', she got thrown off a train by the Joker's goons down into a chasm, at which she only expressed annoyance and walked out with nothing more than messed up hair and some minor bruises.
* MadLove: As in most incarnations, she's madly in love with the Joker and is completely blind to the fact that he sees her as nothing but a disposable asset to be manipulated for his benefit, stubbornly insisting he does love her even though he has abandoned her to get arrested and locked up more than once. Unlike other versions, this series starts with Harley getting much needed help from Poison Ivy to finally open her eyes to the truth that the Joker cares for no one but himself and Batman, which leads to Harley breaking up with him for good.
* MakeUpIsEvil: The one supervillain character in the show who wears eyeshadow and heavy red lipstick.
* ManBitesMan: When she has most of body except fot her head and right hand trapped in ice, Harley uses her teeth to attack the Penguin and ''bite his nose off''.
* MaskOfSanity: Given context provided in the episode ''Being Harley Quinn'', it's implied that this was part of her psychologist persona. She was clearly very messed up as a child and teenager, so the Joker luring her into a life of crime ends up coming across less as him corrupting her and more like he simply reawakened what was already there.
* MatchmakerCrush: In the first half of Season 2, Harley is all for Ivy and Kite Man getting married because she thinks that'll make Ivy happy, even encouraging Ivy to accept the proposal despite Ivy not being sure she wants that herself. Midway through the season, [[spoiler:Harley realizes she has romantic feelings for Ivy and sort of asks her to cancel the wedding with Kite Man so they can hook up. However, Ivy has already convinced herself Kite Man is her safe option for a stable married life and rejects Harley's confession.]]
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: The series begins with Harley becoming fed up with the Joker's abuse once she finally realizes that he never even loved her. She then quits being his minion so she can make her own career as a stand-alone supervillainess.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Averted. Harley's never shown to be especially villainous as a doctor, unless Joker's involved.
* MsFanservice: She's very beautiful and wears outfits that flatter her figure, and one episode has her accidentally expose herself. Lampshaded by Calendar Man's wife who calls Harley a "porn clown."
* MulticoloredHair: As has become a tradition for the character, she's a blonde with dip-dyed blue-and-pink pigtails.
* NatureVersusNurture: The episode ''Being Harley Quinn'' delves into Harley's life before becoming the Joker's henchwoman and brings into question just how much her villainy is a result of nurture. It's all but stated that young Harleen had an unhappy childhood with an extremely dysfunctional family. However, it's heavily implied her AxCrazy impulses are nature. Her attempts at playing with dolls involved a wife murdering a husband for cheating, she stalked her CelebCrush to the point legal actions needed to be taken, and she [[NoodleIncident may have]] killed a girl at her camp for spreading humiliating rumors about her. Harley believed she became a villain only because of the Joker [[spoiler:to the point she convinced herself he pushed her into the bath of chemicals when she had jumped willingly]], but towards the end of the episode, she fully realizes that she always had a choice. Neither the Joker nor her "fucked up parents" made Harleen Quinzel into Harley Quinn; she made herself. At most, one could interpret that the Joker only brought out her dark side to its fullest.
* NeverMyFault: It takes a lot for Harley to accept how her flaws and mistakes cause troubles for her and her personal relationships. All her crew leaves her because she ignored them and failed to keep her promises to help them in favor of letting herself fall into the Joker's game of abuse. Afterwards, Harley complains about them abandoning her without acknowledging how her choice to hang out with the Joker instead of her friends got her into that mess.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Played with. Unlike previous animated incarnations, this version of Harley Quinn typically speaks with a flat Midwest affect, but begins consciously affecting her old Brooklyn accent when she visits her parents in Bensonhurst, suggesting she changed it after moving to Gotham.
* NoRespectGuy: She's an Olympic level acrobat with a degree in psychology and years of experience in combat. Despite this, most people consider her a joke, and refuse to consider her anything other than the Joker's girlfriend or a generic thug.
* OneWomanArmy: In the first episode, Harley goes against the Joker's gang and -- despite being hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned -- kicks their asses and walks away unscathed.
* OnlyFriend: She's the only human being Poison Ivy deems worth befriending.
* PerkyFemaleMinion: She initially served the role of the Joker's adoring moll and henchwoman. After discovering that the Joker never really cared about her at all and was just using her as a means to an end, she sets out to defy this role and become an independent villainess in her own right.
* PointyHairedBoss: Her desire to fast-track herself to recognition and overall immaturity mean that her crew have to deal with her schemes frequently escalating.
* PrettyFreeloaders: After her ninth broken TV, you must ponder why exactly Ivy keeps Harley rent free.
* PrimAndProperBun: She wore her hair like this in her Dr. Harleen Quinzel persona, as part of her effort at trying to appear sane and professional.
* PsychologicalProjection: When she sees Mister Freeze going on about how much he loves his terminally ill wife who he keeps trapped in a block of ice (to keep her from dying, mind you), Harley immediately assumes he's the same kind of abusive man like the Joker who treats his lover as property, going as far as accusing Mister Freeze of having lied about Nora being ill and keeping her trapped against her will. Once she sees Mister Freeze and his wife do truly love and care about each other, Harley understands their relationship is nothing like the one she had with the Joker.
* PsychopathicWomanchild: Is incredibly immature and unrestrained, in addition to being a dangerous supervillain.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She wears a black and red costume, (both her original costume and the New 52 costume) and is the VillainProtagonist.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the noisy and uncontrollable Red Oni to Poison Ivy's level-headed and sardonic Blue Oni.
* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:With Poison Ivy at the end of season 2.]]
* RepressedMemories: In her JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind, Harley's repressed memories are locked up in a replica of Arkham Asylum. There, she's repressed her memory of the Joker shoving her into a vat of chemicals that bleached her skin white. [[spoiler:The part she repressed was that she jumped in willingly, since it had always been easier to give agency to the Joker and blame him for her turn to villainy. After confronting this, she takes responsibility for her life choices and re-defines her {{origin story}} as the day she walked out on him.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Her goal in Season 1 was to get revenge on the Joker for his abuse and her goal in Season 2 is to get revenge on the Injustice League for usurping her.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: {{Defied|Trope}}. Harley is fed up of being written off as "the Joker's girlfriend" and is aiming to become a competent, terrifying villainess of her own right.
* SelfServingMemory:
** She remembered the Joker proposed marriage to her in the middle of a romantic dance. Her psychiatrist self interrupts the memory to force Harley Quinn recall what ''really'' happened; instead of a ring, the Joker gave her a grenade and used her as living bait in one of his fights with Batman.
** She also edited her own memory to make it seem like the Joker had pushed her into the chemicals that made her into Harley Quinn, [[spoiler:when in fact she went in willingly]].
* ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy: Has this dynamic with Poison Ivy, with Harley using her bat and acrobatics for close-range combat while Ivy uses her plant powers from a distance.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: While she was with the Joker, he made her wear a clown-themed, form-fitting catsuit to show her off as his property. When she severs her ties to him and starts making a name for herself in the underworld; she changes to a skimpy costume that shows off her feminity and individuality, symbolising her move towards freedom and independence from him.
* SillyRabbitRomanceIsForKids: "Thawing Hearts" reveals that Harley has developed a rather cynical view on true love due to her abusive relationship with the Joker. She initially can't believe Mister Freeze's devotion to his terminally ill wife is genuine, writing him off as yet another controlling man who ruined his woman's life. It's at the end of the episode that [[spoiler:Mister Freeze's sacrifice for his wife]] makes Harley understand what she had with Joker ''wasn't'' true love.
-->'''Harley''': True love made me sacrifice my career as a psychologist, permanently change the way I look and almost got me killed, like, so many times. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis LOVE. IS. BULLSHIT]].
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: A same-sex example. [[spoiler:Once Harley finally gets over her abusive ex-boyfriend Joker, she realizes she's really in love with Ivy, her best friend who truly cares about her and has always been there for her through good and bad times.]]
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She had glasses as Dr. Harleen Quinzel, her genius psychiatrist identity.
* SmarterThanYouLook: She spent years as a PerkyFemaleMinion who was easily manipulated and fooled by the Joker, but Harley was a genius psychiatrist and proves to be quite clever after she finally dumps him.
* StalkerWithACrush: She was sent to juvenile hall for stalking and threatening to kidnap her CelebCrush Creator/FrankieMuniz. There were also violations of a restraining order involved.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her bikini-like new outfit is effective for {{Fanservice}}, but realistically wouldn't be good for physical combat.
* SuperiorSuccessor: Harley manages to be this for her parents as she inherited her bad traits from them, but managed to overcome them. She inherited her violent and criminal tendencies from her father, but Harley is stronger, smarter, more honorable, a better criminal, and has been capable of kicking his ass even before she became a super villain. She inherited her bad taste in men from her mother, but Harley was smart enough to cut ties with the Joker for being an abusive partner while her mother is hopelessly devoted to a gambling husband who's willing to endanger their family for money.
* SwissArmyTears: In the Season 1 finale, Harley thinks the tears she shed on [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s grave made her come back to life. Ivy reminds Harley they aren't in a Creator/{{Disney}} movie, but admits that the tears probably did help.
* TalkingToThemself: She occasionally has conversations with her psychiatrist past self. Curiously, Dr. Harleen Quinzel is completely aware that Harley Quinn is stuck in a codependent abusive relationship with a psychopath who doesn't love her and tries to get her hopelessly blind villainess self to see this. Dr. Harleen Quinzel finally gets through to Harley Quinn when the Joker lets her fall into what they think is acid. She does however give bad advice to her villainous self as seen with her suggestion to seek out her AbusiveParents, although Harleen had no way of knowing her parents would try to kill her.
* TermsOfEndangerment: In the Season One finale, Harley calls the Joker by his pet name "Puddin'" mockingly before [[spoiler:Ivy drops him into a vat of acid]].
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Her and her crew's constant destruction of Ivy's apartment eventually gets her evicted in Episode 4.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Going by the episode ''Being Harley Quinn,'' this version of Harley had... ''issues'' since childhood. One flashback shows her playing with dolls as husband and wife, having the wife accuse the husband doll of cheating, and then cutting the husband's head off with a meat cleaver, all implicitly before her teenage years.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: She gets the idea to rob Aquaman. Despite the show treating him as more of a joke, he is shown to nonetheless be an extremely powerful hero who is out of Harley's league. Prior to that, she tried to pick a fight with Superman, who just ignored her.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: The main character of the show who is not just a supervillain, but also one who is incredibly reckless and refuses to listen to her friend's advice, though the unsympathetic part gets subverted as the series goes on, what with the Joker revealing how low he's willing to sink just to get back at Harley for wounding his pride and ''her own parents trying to kill her to collect her bounty''. While a lot of her misery is her own fault, her actual misery progressively stops being PlayedForLaughs.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: She's able to carry around and never lose her smartphone by tucking it into her top.
* VillainousHarlequin: More on the anti-heroic side of this trope.
* WardrobeMalfunction: There's a scene where she winds up hanging by the seat of her pants from a stalactite, exposing her backside for all to see.
* WeaponOfChoice: She starts off with her massive hammer, but when it gets blown up, she switches out to a baseball bat, which she decorates in the next episode.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: A carnival game inside Harley's mind mentions "winning Daddy's love" (it's rigged).
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: She doesn't get why Ivy would even look at a goof like Kite Man and openly tells her she could do better than him. By the end of "Trapped," she warms up to him after seeing how far he was willing to go for Ivy and really looks happy when he proposes to her.
* WhenSheSmiles: Or, rather, when she smiles a ''specific'' type of smile, the one where she notices she has had approval. Whenever people clap at her in the Legion of Doom, her smile gets a ''lot'' prettier and more genuine.
* WomanScorned: At first, she puts up with a LOT of physical and emotional abuse from the Joker, even forgiving him for leaving her to rot in Arkham for a year. Then, Ivy and Riddler trick the Joker into explicitly revealing that he never really cared about Harley at all, and Harley takes this about as well as any sane person would.
* WouldHurtAChild: Usually averted, but she nearly plays it straight with Robin. After the Joker sends a condescending message to Harley about her "rivalry" with Robin, Harley decides that she's going to kill Robin to make it stop. Ivy believes she is capable of doing it, but that doing so will only validate everyone's belief that Robin is her nemesis, while the rest of her crew thinks that she would just be crossing the line.
* WrongGenreSavvy:
** She starts the series thinking she and the Joker are a passionate OutlawCouple taking the world by storm. Every other character has a hell of a time trying to convince her otherwise until the end of the first episode.
** Also, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood thanks to her relationship with the Joker]], she initially thinks that the reason Mister Freeze is keeping Nora frozen is that he can have her all to himself and that he's lying about her condition. This ends up causing trouble for everyone involved when Harley decides to thaw her out, only to find out that not only was the disease real, but that Nora and Freeze actually do love each other.
* YearningForANemesis: The episode "Finding Mr. Right" is about Harley desperately wanting a nemesis so people will take her seriously as a villain.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Her new costume sports a grade B with common knee-high socks and a bikini bottom.

[[folder:Poison Ivy]]
!!ComicBook/PoisonIvy (Dr. Pamela Isley)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ivy_5.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"You don't have to rinse out your cans and bottles before putting them in the recycling bin, okay? That's just a myth and it wastes water."]]
->''"Harley, I love you in... sigh... in a very odd, hard-to-articulate way. And if you just stopped sabotaging yourself... the world would be yours."''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LakeBell

Harley's BestFriend, an EcoTerrorist with [[PlantPerson a plant physiology]] that grants her a HealingFactor, drug and poison immunity, and the ability to mutate and control other plants.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: During the first few episodes Harley regularly pitches Ivy a plan she's been workshopping about blackmailing Gotham City with a nuke to have a highway named after her. Ivy is initially unimpressed by the idea, but when Harley actually pulls it off Ivy ends up admitting to her own bemusement that it was actually worth it.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics her middle name is "Lillian", but here it's "Gertrude".
* AdaptationalBadass: In a way. While Ivy in almost all adaptations is a badass on some level, this version of Ivy, in both power and intelligence, is far and away the most competent character in the show. She's so badass in fact that Lex Luthor wanted her to join the Legion of Doom, as revealed in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", but she continually shot down his ''many'' requests.
** [[spoiler:Her HealingFactor is also significantly more powerful than in most adaptations, enough to revive her after being speared through the heart by the Joker]].
** [[spoiler: She's so competent that she actually manages to fend off ''Superman'', something that 90% of the entire DC Universe struggles to do.]]
* AdaptationalModesty: Usually known for skimpy outfits, Ivy in this series contrasts Harley's style with a practical and modest, but far from unattractive wardrobe. She also swaps her usual breathy, seductive tones for a flatter, more cynical, DeadpanSnarker affect. The seductress aspect of her character is heavily downplayed in favor of her EcoTerrorist side. In the last few episodes of Season 1 she does end up in skimpy clothes due to ClothingDamage, but that's not intentional on her part.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Ivy is a ''far'' more pleasant character than in the comics, being depicted as Harley's even-tempered and supportive best friend who happens to be an eco-terrorist. Her misanthropy is toned down greatly, and in her own words she still hates other people but she can tolerate being around them. This is lampshaded by Ivy addressing that Harley's diagnosis of her (a misanthrope with abandonment issues who bonds with plants to avoid bonding with humans) was one she took to heart, and she's making the effort to be a more functional person.
* AffectionateNickname: Harley calls her "Ive". This has at least once led to a mistake involving the contraction of "I have".
* AlienBlood: Her blood is green. Also her tears seem to be black.
* AloofAlly: Ivy may constantly proclaim that [[IWorkAlone she wants to work alone]] and not join Harley's crew, but she's been by the girl's side since the beginning, and she ends up becoming a reserve member, helping them out on occasion when they really need it.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has light green skin.
* ApologeticAttacker: In "Devil's Snare", she apologizes as she tears mutated trees apart.
* BackFromTheDead: In "The Final Joke" [[spoiler:Ivy's HealingFactor, with maybe a bit of ThePowerOfFriendship from Harley, revives her after being speared through the heart in the previous episode.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Ivy and Harley's friendship here is based on how Harley was able to give her genuine help for her psychological issues when Ivy had pretty much been written off as a lost cause by everyone else. Harley was also the first person who ever gave her a gift, which motivated Ivy to open up to her.
* BestFriend: She's Harley's most loyal, caring and helpful friend.
* BrokenBird: She's jaded and cynical, being convinced that almost the entire human race is trash after a very lonely childhood where she was abused and neglected by her parents. Harley and a few more are the only people she brings herself to care about, but she still has a secret fear of being betrayed.
* CardCarryingVillain: Averted, uniquely among the criminals in this show. Unlike Harley and the various supervillains in the Legion of Doom, who revel in being considered evil and villainous, Ivy insists that there's nothing "evil" about her acts of eco-terrorism.
* TheCaretaker: To her loony best friend Harley. Poison Ivy is the reason why Harley could finally realize that the Joker doesn't love her and get out of that abusive relationship for good. After that, Poison Ivy continues to watch out for Harley and save her from the messes she keeps getting into.
* CaringGardener: Her apartment is full of plants that she calls her "babies". When she's locked up in Arkham and later briefly trapped inside Harley's mind, Ivy's main concern is that there's no one to take care of her plants in her place.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: She never stopped trying to talk sense into Harley about her being a victim of DomesticAbuse by the Joker and arranges a whole set up with the Riddler just so she can get into Harley's head that Joker doesn't love her. Afterwards, Ivy tries talking Harley out of her stupid attempts at becoming a better villainess. Not that Harley listens to her, which Harley herself even lampshades by saying she enjoys not-listening to Ivy's advice more than anyone else's. When Ivy has to rescue Harley from being beaten by Batman after a prank involving a giant shark nearly gets Robin killed, Ivy complains that her entire existence appears to revolve around cleaning up her loony best friend's messes.
* ColorMotif: Keeping with her plant image, everything she wears (including her underwear) is green, except for her shoes and shirt. Green accessories she has include a bikini, a sun hat, a trenchcoat, sunglasses, and a beanie.
* CombatStilettos: She wears little black high-heeled pumps as part of her main outfit.
* TheConscience: She's like the voice of reason Harley utterly lacks. Whenever Harley does something too risky or amoral, Ivy is the one who tries and talks some sense into her. The effect varies depending on how much Harley is willing to listen to Ivy.
* CoolBigSis: She's way more rational than Harley and watches out for her like if she was her troublemaker little sister.
* CovertPervert: Quickley asked Giganta's boyfriend to call her when she sees him perform cunnilingus on ice-cream.
* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler: Ivy admits she lost her faith in humanity the first time her father hit her.]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: In "Harley Quinn Highway", she manages to kill a number of guards holding her despite being in a place with no plants at all, though her escape attempt still fails.
* DeadpanSnarker: You can count the number of times she doesn't speak in an incredibly dry tone on one hand.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: From the first episode, Ivy is set up as the other protagonist of the show next to Harley, being Harley's BestFriend and {{Foil}} who is the main reason Harley gains the determination to get out of her abusive relationship with the Joker. When Ivy isn't helping out Harley, she's usually the center of the episode's subplot.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: At the end of "Devil's Snare", [[spoiler:Ivy is stabbed through the chest by the Joker and bleeds to death in Harley's arms. Thankfully, it turns out not to be permanent.]]
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:She's fatally impaled in ''Devil's Snare'', but it's revealed an episode later that her HealingFactor is so strong that even having her heart destroyed is a temporary setback.]]
* TheDragon: Even though she keeps insisting she's not joining Harley's crew, she's Harley's most loyal ally and confidant who keeps giving advice and helping out her BestFriend. She also tries to be Harley's voice of reason, but it almost never works.
* EcoTerrorist: Unlike other criminals, Poison Ivy doesn't care about stealing or spreading chaos. She only wants to protect the natural environment, even if that means destroying polluting factories and killing people with their own chemicals. Ivy repeatedly complains about how people treat her like a supervillain because of this.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: When Kite Man proposes to her, he reveals that her middle name is Gertrude, to her clear discomfort.
* EtTuBrute: As revealed in ''Harley Quinn Highway'', her greatest fear is actually Harley, specifically the fear of putting trust in someone only to be betrayed. She ends up taking it incredibly personally when Harley [[PoorCommunicationKills seemingly]] breaks her promise to help her destroy Plantwide Pavers in favor of being with the Joker. [[spoiler:Her fear of Harley hurting her again is why she is against the idea of them being in a relationship, despite her also having repressed feelings for her.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** She's annoyed when she finds out Frank ate a kid she hired to watch her plants while she was gone, [[PragmaticVillainy albeit because his parents would be looking for him]]. When she finds out Frank ate the kid's parents as well, she's still not pleased.
** In the second episode, when Kite Man uses her lethal pheromones on the kids at Penguin's party, she's pissed at him and forces him to help her get an antidote for them. She's also genuinely upset when the Joker kills Howie Mandel.
** When she meets Kite Man's AbusiveParents whilst dating him, she is visibly discomforted by just how badly they treat him, ultimately calling them out on his behalf. Of course, since she herself had AbusiveParents, this makes perfect sense.
** ''Inner (Para) Demons'' subverts this. [[spoiler:Although she ultimately convinces Harley not to go through with taking Darkseid’s offer of his Para-Demons she’s not actually concerned with the genocide they cause. She simply states Harley is doing it for no purpose.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards Ivy cares heavily about the environment, but even she thinks that paper straws are stupid.
* EvilRedhead: She has red hair and while she's nice to Harley, Ivy is still a misanthropic EcoTerrorist who openly doesn't give a fuck about any human being but Harley.
* FatalFlaw: Her inability to be honest with herself drives much of the plot of Season 2's latter half. As she puts it, [[spoiler:she hurt alot of people delaying the inevitable.]]
* {{Foil}}: Her entire situation throughout Season 1 is contrasted with Harley. Harley wants to build a team, but Ivy funny enough treats them more like a family, whereas Harley treats them like a means to an end. Harley is highly ambitious, but lacks all forms of self-awareness, which leads to disaster. Ivy has no real ambition other than helping her best friend and she fully knows what she's about. Harley is obsessed with an utter nutjob who wants nothing to do with her and treats her like shit. Ivy dates a guy who is extremely goofy, but ultimately turns out to be great (and healthy) relationship-material.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: [[spoiler:Kite Man manages to forgive Ivy for having an affair with Harley while they were engaged, but he has not forgotten it.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Poison Ivy didn't always hate humanity. Her parents' abuse and neglect along with a life with no friends until Harley came along made her into the misanthropic EcoTerrorist she's today.
* FriendVersusLover: A really complicated example in that the Joker is technically Harley's ex, but Ivy's main issue with Harley is that she constantly allows herself to be goaded by him despite him not being worth it, rather than really appreciating the friendship she has with Ivy.
** Season 2 flips this around, with Ivy having choosing between her lover (Kite Man) and her best friend (Harley). [[spoiler:[[RelationshipUpgrade The season ends with Harley becoming Ivy's lover after Kite Man breaks off their engagement and Ivy realizes that she only went along with the wedding for negative reasons]].]]
* FriendlessBackground: She doesn't have anyone she can call a friend except for Harley. One of her most traumatic childhood memories is a [[OnePersonBirthdayParty birthday party with no friends to celebrate it]].
** Season 2 reveals, besides Harley, the only other friend Pamela has is Jennifer, who she's known since ''kindergarten'', but also seems to have loads of personal issues herself.
* GiveGeeksAChance: She becomes attracted to Kite Man, a goofy supervillain loser regarded as a joke by everyone. Ivy is embarrassed to be seen in public with him, but she ultimately admits she does want to date him.
* GreenThumb: If there is any plant life in her presence, she can control it and turn it into huge minions.
* HatesTheirParent: One of her deepest fears is her cold-hearted and unloving father. [[spoiler:She later admits her father beating her was the reason why she became a misanthrope.]] As Harley says, both of them have daddy issues.
* HealingFactor: Her plant physiology allows her to heal from all manner of wounds and pathogens [[spoiler:even having her heart destroyed only puts her out of commission temporarily.]]
* HellbentForLeather: Wears a short dark green leather jacket. She also notes in "Devil's Snare" it's her favorite top.
* HiddenDepths: You'd be surprised to know that Ivy is a NASCAR fan.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Her villainy is rooted in environmentalism, and she advises people not to waste water in ''Finding Mr. Right''. But Wonder Woman's Lasso reveals that she takes long showers and doesn't like paper straws (though these could be [[JustifiedTrope justified by her plant-based physiology for the former and paper being made of trees in the latter.]])
* IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: [[spoiler:Harley is Ivy's best friend and the most important person in her life, but unlike with Kite Man, Ivy can't trust Harley won't do something that could break her heart or ruin their relationship. After Harley went back to the Joker and let Ivy down so many times, Ivy can ''barely'' allow herself to keep Harley as a friend, so becoming lovers with her is too much of a risk for Ivy to take with all the emotional baggage she already has. After Kite Man spells it out for Ivy that her heart really belongs to Harley in "The Runaway Bridesmaid" and breaks off their engagement, she allows herself to reciprocate Harley's feelings.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:The Joker harpoons her in "Devil's Snare".]]
* IncidentalVillain: She has little interest in being an out-and-out supervillain, and instead maintains a mostly normal life with an apartment and real life problems and concerns, only very occasionally going on sprees of eco-terrorism against targets she thinks deserve breaking her normal routine.
* InsistentTerminology: She refuses to be called a villain and claims she is an eco-terrorist, consistently saying that she doesn't think it is villainous for someone to work hard in protecting nature.
* InLoveWithLove: Her relationship with Kite Man has shades of this. Ivy believes she loves him back and agrees to marry him even though she's not entirely sure she's ready for that sort of commitment because he's one of the most decent and caring people she knows. However, she seems more attracted to the idea of getting married and staying in a "safe" relationship rather than necessarily to Kite Man himself. [[spoiler:Her hesitation becomes obvious to where Kite-Man picks up on it and after the wedding is ruined, he reaches his own breaking point and ends the relationship for both their own good.]]
* {{Irony}}: Poison Ivy's misanthropy was born out of being hurt by the people supposedly closest to her, even Harley pushes it because of her former loyal to the Joker. And yet, her own emotional problems lead her to hurt the two people closest in her current life: Harley and Kite-Man.
* IWorkAlone: Ivy insists this constantly refusing offers from the Legion of Doom and denying that she's part of Harley's crew. That said, she'll still join Harley's heists if asked.
* JustFriends: [[spoiler:Harley and Ivy have been best friends for years, but it's not until after they share a passionate kiss during their escape from Bane's pit that they realize their feelings for each other are romantic. This only makes things awkward between them because Ivy refuses to acknowledge she's in love with Harley and Harley is forced to suppress her feelings for Ivy to not get in the way of Ivy's engagement to Kite Man. After they wind up having sex following a rager in "Bachelorette", Harley finally confesses to Ivy, only for Ivy to turn her down in favor of going through with marrying Kite Man, believing her and Harley are incapable of having a lasting romantic relationship. However, in "The Runaway Bridesmaid", Kite Man realizes that Ivy truly has stronger feelings for Harley than she has for him and breaks off their engagement, leading Ivy to allow herself to [[RelationshipUpgrade reciprocate Harley's feelings]].]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Killing Becca, Condiment King's fiancee. Unlike Condiment King himself, she never did anything to Ivy or Kite Man.]] It comes off as a needlessly mean and cuel act of villainy.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Ivy is usually accompanied by mystical melody when she uses her powers.
* LessEmbarrassingTerm: She dislikes being called a supervillain, preferring "ecoterrorist."
* LonelyRichKid: Her parents were wealthy, but they never gave her any love or attention. She also never made human friends, so her only companion was a ficus plant [[spoiler:until her father cruelly threw it away]].
* MessianicArchetype: [[spoiler:After being resurrected in "The Final Joke", she rises into the air with her arms out, her body forming a cross shape.]]
* MessyHair: In the flashback of "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues," it looks like Ivy didn't bother to comb her hair to show how much of a disaster she was until she and Harley became friends.
* MisanthropeSupreme: Was formerly this before her therapy sessions with Harley. She doesn't quite ''like'' people in the present, but she can hold conversations with them without wanting to vomit, as she puts it.
** It's telling that the only friend of pre-Poison-Ivy Pamela Isley's who joins her bachelorette trip is Jennifer... from kindergarten.
* MistakenForPregnant: In Episode 4, Harley returns to Poison Ivy's apartment seeing a banner that says "It's a boy!" and baby stuff all over the place, causing her to think she's pregnant and having a baby shower. She rubs Ivy's belly and congratulates her, but Ivy tells her she's not pregnant and doesn't know why the stuff is there. It turns out to be a prank set up by the Joker mocking Harley for having Robin, a preteen boy, as an arch nemesis.
* MoralityChain: Ivy's influence keeps Harley from going off the deep end. When she and Harley are avoiding each other after [[spoiler: their awkward kiss]], [[TokenEvilTeammate Psycho]] talks Harley into [[spoiler: [[DealWithTheDevil pledging herself to Darkseid]] for a Parademon army]]. Harley gets cold feet and backs out of it as soon as Ivy shows up and questions whether she really wants to go through with it.
* MundaneUtility: Controlling plant life is very useful not just for fighting, but also for cleaning her apartment.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: PlayedForLaughs in "Devil's Snare". Ivy is forced to fight mutated trees in order to protect the crew. When she splits one of the trees in half and sees its age, she's horrified at realizing she just killed a kid.
** A bit more serious, but she's quite ashamed of how she hurt Kite-Man in her infedelity with him [[spoiler: and she's reduced to tears when he ends the relationship.]]
* MythologyGag:
** Ivy's attire (green skin, foliage pants) resembles her portrayal in the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries''.
** Ivy considers Harley's wish to surpass her ex-lover to be relatable. One of her origin stories has her in a toxic relationship with Jason Woodrue the Floronic Man, similar to Harley and the Joker.
* NatureLover: She cares more for the environment and natural life than most of humanity.
* NobleTopEnforcer: Ivy isn't into real villainy and only helps Harley in her schemes out of loyalty. She also steps in when Harley or someone in her team is at risk of going ''truly'' evil.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She routinely gets right into Harley's personal space, which is especially notable since she's otherwise as standoffish as you'd expect from a clinical misanthrope with attachment issues. It's both a sign of how much she cares about her best friend, and a sign of just how much effort it takes to get Harley Quinn to listen to you more than half the time.
* NotGoodWithPeople: With the notable exceptions of Harley Quinn and Kite Man, Ivy vastly prefers to associate with plants than with other human beings.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being the voice of reason in Harley's crew, Ivy has shown that she's not above indulging in some silly antics herself.
* OnlySaneWoman: She may have been an inmate at Arkham Asylum, but living with Harley and working with the likes of Kite Man, Penguin, Bane, and Clayface makes her look positively rational.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Because of her social insecurities and inexperience with stable relationships, Ivy unwittingly causes a long chain of miseries in the second half of Season 2 where she tries to rush into a wedding with Kite Man for the sake of finding security and trust, [[spoiler: despite not truly being in love with him but rather wants to be with Harley]]. Her constant denial to be honest with herself and others drags out the issues it creates, [[spoiler: leading to the wedding being ruined in a BallroomBlitz of supervillains versus Gordon's police raid, a fed-up Kite Man coldly calling off the wedding, and Ivy in tears with her and Harley trying to escape the GCPD.]]
* PowersDoTheFighting: As Frank bluntly lampshades, Ivy uses her plants to do almost everything for her, including fighting her battles. Eventually averted, as she's shown to be able to fight (dirty), and use a handgun like a pro.
* PragmaticVillainy: She hired a kid to water her plants in her apartment while she was gone, except Frank ate him. She points out that his parents might be looking for him (to which Frank reveals he also ate them).
* PrimalScene: [[spoiler:When Ivy was a child, she accidentally caught her father having sex with a maid. However, what traumatized her the most was her father beating her senseless over it and then killing her first plant as additional salt to the wounds.]]
* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Frequently {{averted}} in general, but Ivy in particular tends to avert this - Ivy often stumbles over her words, stammers and repeats herself.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the level-headed and sardonic Blue Oni to Harley Quinn's noisy and uncontrollable Red Oni.
* RedHeadInGreen: As standard for Poison Ivy, her hair is red and her outfits are green.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Harley is the person she's the most openly affectionate towards. On more than one occasion Ivy has said 'I love you' to Harley, to her face, all while looking shy and demure. [[spoiler:It becomes a hell of a lot more complicated after they share a passionate kiss following their escape from Bane's pit. Harley is more than willing to undergo a RelationshipUpgrade after realizing her feelings towards Ivy are romantic, but because [[YourCheatingHeart she's already engaged to Kiteman]] and her own more complicated feelings towards Harley, Ivy wants them remain JustFriends. They upgrade to an OfficialCouple at the end of "The Runaway Bride" after Kite Man spells it out for Ivy that her true feelings are towards Harley.]]
* SarcasticDevotee: Ivy is Harley's most jaded and critical friend, but also the most loyal and protective one without any doubt.
* ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy: Has this dynamic with Harley Quinn, with Harley using her bat and acrobatics for close-range combat while Ivy uses her plant powers from a distance.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: To make her stand out as one of the main characters, Ivy has red hair and green eyes.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Ivy herself admits Kite Man isn't the type of guy she would usually date, but for some reason she can't help but to give him a chance. This must have something to do with the fact that despite being a sorry joke of a supervillain and a perverted goof, Kite Man is a very decent guy when you look past that. Ivy admires his laid-back and confident personality, considering him a way better man than any other male supervillain she knows. However, Harley thinks Ivy should look at other options instead of settling down for the first man who is nice to her. Though she does come around. [[spoiler: This is played a bit by the end since Ivy ends up with Harley, but only after Harley makes the effort to become a better person, putting Ivy's wants before hers along with working to be more reliable. Namely that while she and Kite-Man are both pretty decent people, the pre-established emotional investment Ivy has with Harley as friends ends up helping to make the relationship more appealing.]]
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler: In "Devil's Snare," the Joker cold-bloodedly murders Ivy to deprive Harley of the person who truly loves and cares for her the most. PlayedWith an episode later in that it really only puts Ivy out of commission temporarily due to her HealingFactor.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's cool, composed, and sarcastic as hell, but her best friend Harley and her boyfriend Kite Man bring out an incredibly sweet side in her.
* SurroundedByIdiots: You can tell Ivy really wants to use her plants to strangle the life out of the psychotic morons she works with.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Stops in the middle of a brawl to remind a TV audience that washing their recycling before putting it in the bin is unnecessary and wastes water.
* TokenGoodTeammate: The crew are all supervillains, but she's a WellIntentionedExtremist EcoTerrorist with a reasonably functional ideology behind her actions and a strong sense of social justice (again, by supervillain standards). When someone needs to be the resident conscience, it's usually her.
* UndyingLoyalty: Ivy is on Harley's side no matter what and has her friend's best interests in mind. She doesn't want to participate in Harley's schemes, but will always be there to bail her out when things go south.
* UptightLovesWild: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:The serious, cynical and sarcastic Ivy harbors repressed feelings for Harley, who is crazy, impulsive and uncontrollable. However, Ivy rejects Harley's love precisely because Harley is too unpredictable for Ivy to believe a relationship between them can last or Harley won't hurt her again. Ivy decides it's safer to marry Kite Man because he's steady. Despite this however, Kite Man comes to the realization during their wedding that, despite this, Ivy does truly love Harley more than him and breaks things off with her. Ivy comes to the realization that, regardless of her impulsive personality, [[DeconReconSwitch Harley still was willing to change for her sake]] and allows herself to finally reciprocate.]]
* TheVamp: While traditionally this, her dealings with Kite Man and a bunch of kids indicate that she is trying to avert this trope and make it on her own as a capable villainess.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She identifies as an eco-terrorist who makes it very clear that she doesn't create chaos and mayhem ForTheEvulz, but rather for the noble cause of saving the planet.
* WhatTheHellHero: At the end of "A Seat at the Table", she finally runs out of patience at Harley's disconsideration of her friendship when she finds out Harley lied to her and stood her up to let herself be seduced and dumped by the Joker ''again''. Ivy is especially angry because that was like Harley wasting all of Ivy's efforts of getting Harley out of that vicious cycle of abuse.
* WickedCultured: Ivy's preferred alcohol is red wine, she reads books when relaxing, likes museums, and (during Season 1) took pride in having designer furniture (which, to her annoyance, Harley kept smashing).
* YouAreACreditToYourRace: While she's a self-admitted misanthrope, she honestly believes her best friend Harley is "the only human being who is worth a shit". She later extends this to Kite Man, finding his confidence attractive enough to give dating him a shot.
* YourCheatingHeart: In "Theres No Place To Go But Down", [[spoiler:Ivy unintentionally cheated on Kite Man after she and Harley kissed. Much more seriously, they actually have sex whilst intoxicated in "Bachelorette".]]

[[folder:Doctor Psycho]]
!!Doctor Psycho (Dr. Edgar Cizko)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dr_psycho_3.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"I DON'T HATE WOMEN!!!"]]
->''"That really hurt, you cunt!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TonyHale
A short, angry man with powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The Cowled Critic describes him as "universally hated". Granted, the Cowled Critic is also his abused son, but he likely wouldn't have said it online if he expected much disagreement. [[spoiler:By the end of Season 2, the rest of crew want nothing to do with him either, and pass him over when they come to break Harley out of Arkham.]]
* AbusiveDad: He was one to his son Herman, locking him in the basement for days, killed anyone who showed Herman any sign of liking him, [[MurderArsonAndJaywalking refused to get him a WayneStation 4]], and named him [[EmbarrassingFirstName Herman]]. Psycho states he did this to give his son a good FreudianExcuse so that he could grow up to be a great supervillain.
* AdaptationalBadass: Most variants of Doctor Psycho are merely telepaths, here he is a powerful telepath and telekinetic that can go toe to toe with Wonder Woman in a fight.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The comic version was a flat out SerialRapist and an open {{Sadist}} who had no redeeming features at all and would cross any lines without shame or remorse. This version, while still a misogynistic supervillain, is nowhere near as bad a person. He loves his son, showed sympathy to Sy and his sister and was genuinely touched by their story, was just as sad about [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s death as the others, and was genuinely horrified by the Queen of Fables' massacre of the Praxis family reunion. To put it in perspective, the comic version of Doctor Psycho once mind controlled a bunch of people into cannibalizing each other, got ''turned on'' from the experience, and then [[MindRape broadcast his own arousal back into the survivors' minds so they could experience it as if it were their own]]. That said, during the latter half of season 2, he goes through a major case of JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, becoming far more murderous and more like his comic counterpart. By the end of season 2, he possesses almost no redeeming qualities at all.
* AlmightyJanitor: Although he was once a full supervillain and Legion of Doom member in his own right, upon Harley getting them back into the Legion of Doom he is considered a henchman - and is treated as such. Despite this, he is still a powerful telepath that can go toe-to-toe with Wonder Woman (or more specifically, he ''could'', but he's no longer allowed to fight heroines).
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:In the second half of Season 2, after failing to convince Harley to use Darkseid's army of Parademons to TakeOverTheWorld, he teams up with the Riddler and together the two use the Parademons to take over Gotham.]]
* TheBrute: The most powerful and, hilariously enough, the most diminutive guy on the crew.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: For all of season 1 and the first half of season 2, he is portrayed as a NobleBigot JerkWithAHeartOfGold who, despite being a misogynistic supervillain, has a moral code and many redeeming qualities, thus holding the moral ground along with the rest of the crew whenever they face other villains. Batgirl even states that she sees him and the rest of the crew more as [[AntiHero anti heroes]] than full fledged villains. The second half of season 2 strips him of all his redeeming traits apart from (presumably) his love for his son.
* ChronicVillainy: He's got a severe empathy deficiency that makes it difficult for him to tell when he's crossing the line from socially-acceptable evil to the unacceptable kind. As such, he tends to treat the crew as his prosthetic conscience. Come season 2, he begins to feel that his time with the crew has caused him to become progressively less villainous, leading him to try to return to villainy by attempting to convince Harley to TakeOverTheWorld. [[spoiler:He then splits from the crew after Harley gets cold feet]].
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In the Season 1 finale, the Joker brutally tortures all of Harley's crew. And what torture did he prepare for Doctor Psycho? Have him be ForcedToWatch videos about feminism.
* TheCorrupter: Plays this the part towards Harley at the tail end of season 2, trying (and briefly succeeding) to talk her into pursuing higher level TakeOverTheWorld level supervillainy.
* CountryMatters: During a fight, he calls Wonder Woman the C-word on national television. Then, while apologizing for the incident on a talk show, [[AesopAmnesia he drops the C-bomb again]] when Giganta calls him out for his sexist behavior. Ivy remarks that [[EvenEvilHasStandards he's just become the least employable person on the planet]].
* CruellaToAnimals: In "Riddle U," he kills escaped zoo animals to make candles from their fat and hats from their fur.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Poison Ivy, Psycho often makes sarcastic remarks at the stupidity he gets involved in because of his teammates.
* DepravedDwarf: A little person who's also a supervillain and misogynist.
* DoubleStandardRapeSciFi: Him brainwashing Giganta into loving him and having a son with him is treated less seriously than calling Wonder Woman the C-word.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In a battle with Wonder Woman, he uses a politically incorrect slur that shocks everyone, thus setting him up as a foul-tempered potty-mouth.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: PlayedWith. He cares about his son in his own way and thinks it's his responsibility as a supervillain father to raise him into an irredeemably evil person. He did this by abusing him to the extreme that could drive anyone insane.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** He's a raging misogynist, but he's a doctor. He treats his ability to fix people very seriously and is offended by Ivy's suspicion that he would do something nasty in Harley's brain.
** He's also just as horrified as the rest of Harley's crew when the Queen of Fables reveals her mass-murdering tendencies.
** He apparently refused to sell King Shark's fin to a Japanese chef... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and resents Harley for not being there to tell him not to consider it.]]
** He's clearly as horrified and saddened by [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s death as the rest of the team.
* EvilFeelsGood: As a child, he got a big rush from watching a Ferris wheel collapse and kill everyone on board. It was his StartOfDarkness moment.
* EvilIsPetty: Broadcasts Harley and Ivy having sex to all of Gotham for no other reason than he was pissed for losing.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Averted. Big time. The last thing he wanted for his son Herman was for him to grow up into a "happy and heroic" person. Therefore, he raised him in the worst way he could.
* FreudianExcuse: Parodied. When he was a kid, he always wanted to ride the Ferris wheel but he was too short and his mother told him to be patient and he'll big enough next time. As time goes on, he still hasn't grown big enough to ride the Ferris wheel. Then one day, the Ferris wheel collapses with people still on it and he felt satisfied watching all those people die and it was on that day he decided to hate women. [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse It makes no sense and even Darkseid isn't sure how those two things are supposed to connect]]
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He's the only member of Harley's crew who nobody is fond of because he's such a misogynistic asshole. By the end of season 2 [[spoiler:he's not anyone's friend anymore]].
* HasAType: [[GiantWoman Giant women.]] He brainwashed Giganta into marrying him, and despite normally having a mutually-chilly relationship with Poison Ivy, when she supersizes herself in "Devil's Snare," he's instantly turned on and tries to pay her to put him in her pocket. Psycho outright admits to the crew that he has a type.
* HeManWomanHater: Wouldn't be Dr. Psycho if he weren't a raging misogynist.
* HeightAngst: He's sensitive about his height.
* HiddenDepths: He has enough practical knowledge to render animal fat into candles. He can also make hats out of animal hide, suggesting he knows how to work leather.
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: A DepravedDwarf had a child with a GiantWoman. Though he admitted that the sex wasn't great.
* {{Hypocrite}}: During the latter half of season 2, he has ''many'' instances of this:
** Back in season 1, he was horrified by the massacre of the Praxis family, stating "We never covered anything this fucked up!" In season 2, [[spoiler:he goads Harley into initiating a massacre of Gotham City with a parademon army that puts the Queen of Fables' one to shame]].
** He stated that he refused to sell King Shark's fin to a Japanese chef, showing care for him. In season 2, [[spoiler:he brainwashes King Shark and takes joy in making him relive his traumatic childhood memory of killing his brother]].
** He showed sympathy to Sy and his sister, yet [[spoiler:he shows no sadness when Sy sacrifices himself]].
* HypnotizeThePrincess: MindRaped Giganta to fall in love with him, though she comes out of it on national television and calls him out for it.
* IgnoredExpert: PlayedForLaughs: He takes Harley's crew on a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind and -- having done this many times before -- repeatedly tries to warn them about the various complexities of the human psyche and how many problems the group will face if they do anything rash. Much to his annoyance, nobody listens to him.
* InformedAttribute: His misogyny is so downplayed in the show compared to how often its brought up. While he called Wonder Woman the C-word and raped Giganta, the latter of which is glossed over, he spends most of the show willingly working for Harley and Ivy, and thought he trades snark and insults with them, he also does the same with Clayface, King Shark, and Sy, and makes considerably less sexist remarks than Joker or the Injustice League do, and yet, he's the only one who gets labelled a sexist creep. [[spoiler:His betrayal in Season 2 has him claim he hates working for women as part of the reason he quit, but what was actually shown was Harley refusing to TakeOverTheWorld and he seemed to have no problem being her dragon in this scenario.]] Possibly its due to drawing from his depiction in modern comics, where he's a little creep but he's not above working with women and he keeps his sexism to himself more than anything.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the latter half of season 2, he realizes he's gone soft and [[spoiler:loses almost all of his redeeming qualities, betrays the crew, and tries to kill Harley and lead a parademon army in massacring Gotham and conquering Earth]].
* KickTheDog:
** [[spoiler: He forces King Shark to share his most traumatic memory.]]
** [[spoiler: Mind-controlling Ivy and forcing her to kill her best friend and secret lover, Harley]]
** [[spoiler: In one final act of spite, he shares Harley and Ivy having and affair to Kite-man, Ivy's fiancee and all across Gotham.]]
* KickTheMoralityPet: [[spoiler: In Season 1, he was willing to put aside his grudge against Harley at the time to rescue Poison Ivy from Scarecrow. In Season 2, after Psycho goes rogue, he mind controls Ivy on the spot the next time they meet, showcasing that he's completely gone off the deep end.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: His betrayal of Harley marks the point where everything goes sideways for her in Season 2.]]
* MadEye: Fittingly for someone going by Doctor Psycho, his left eye is drawn bigger than his right one.
* MistakenForGay: In "Dye Hard," Psycho tells the crew that he and Riddler like each other and are "together". Obviously, Psycho means he and Riddler are teaming up [[spoiler:to control the Parademons and kill Harley]], but Clayface takes it the wrong way.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:After he turns against Harley, Psycho's main grudge is the she never made him feel respected and appreciated when he was in her crew.]]
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Played with. He is no mad ''scientist'' per se, but he did teach Evil 101 in an actual university, so he actually has a [=PhD=], rather than just adopting ''Doctor'' as part of a villainous nickname.
* TheNapoleon: Very short and prone to yelling and insulting people over trivial things.
* NobleBigot: Proud misogynist, but had no problem working with Poison Ivy and being led by Harley Quinn, and up until season 2 was fine with being part of her crew. [[spoiler:He drops the "noble" part in the second half of season 2]].
* OhCrap: After he calls Diana the [[CountryMatters C-word]] on national television, he's taken aback by everyone else's reaction.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Publicly calling Wonder Woman a cunt. Even Darkseid knows about it and considers it low of him.
* PetTheDog: He has quite a few moments where he shows he can stop being awful when he wants to, particularly in season 1:
** "L.O.D.R.S.V.P." has him help Sy reconcile with his sister who was transformed into an octopus monster by using his telepathy to act as her translator. Hearing Mirielle's feelings touches him so much that he cries.
** In "Harley Quinn Highway," he agrees to help Harley rescue Ivy without asking anything in return.
** In "The Final Joke," he pays his respects at [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s funeral along the rest of the crew.
** He's truly moved by [[spoiler:Mister Freeze sacrificing his life to cure his wife]] in "Thawing Hearts".
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: His FatalFlaw. He's evil, but not ''marketable'' evil, and he's trying to correct it with limited success.
** The Legion of Doom kicked him out because [[EvenEvilHasStandards even they found Psycho's blatant misogyny to be crossing a line]].
** He also shows a hint of being racist. While we don't know what he said to set off Black Manta, he replies it was "[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial nothing racist]]" when asked.
* PowerPerversionPotential: He brainwashed Giganta into loving him.
* PragmaticVillainy: He joins Harley's crew since working in a crew with a female leader would help repair his image that he so utterly ruined.
* PsychicPowers: He can read minds, brainwash people and move objects with his mind.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:He's been locked in Arkham Asylum for his partnership with Darkseid, with no indication that he'll be getting out anytime soon. [[RealityEnsues Not that the crew would even want him back after everything he did.]]]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In a peculiar example of this, Psycho quits Harley's crew after she [[spoiler: backs out of the deal he brokered with Darkseid]], disappointed by her reluctance to engage in that level of supervillainy.
* SoProudOfYou: When he sees his son is more evil than he could have ever imagined him to be, Psycho tells him how proud he is.
* TheSociopath: Downplayed. He has the least functioning moral compass of the gang, has committed rape and child abuse, was so unlikeable the Legion kicked him out, and has multiple times taken an ItsAllAboutMe approach. But multiple scenes shows he has compassion for others and functioning empathy, such as his sadness at [[spoiler:Mr. Freeze dying to save his wife]]. In the latter half of season 2, however, [[spoiler:he loses most of his redeeming qualities and becomes more of a true sociopath]].
* SoreLoser: [[spoiler:After being defeated by Harley and Ivy, he uses his powers to send the memory of their night of drunken sex to everyone in Gotham out of pure spite]].
* SquishyWizard: His PsychicPowers make him one of the most powerful members of the team, but physically, he's a diminutive dwarf who could be easily crushed by Harley's bat. He's still MadeOfIron enough to take beatings that would kill a normal man.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:When Harley backs out of her deal with Darkseid, Dr. Psycho takes control of the parademon army himself and, after acquiring a device that enhances his psychic powers, hypnotizes King Shark and Clayface into turning on Harley as well.]]
* StayInTheKitchen: While appearing with Giganta on a talk show, Dr. Psycho tries to speak on her behalf and put words in her mouth, all the while vehemently demanding that she stay silent.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: He insists on being called ''Doctor'' Psycho.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. He's a DepravedDwarf who was married to [[GiantWoman Giganta]] (because he mind-controlled her into it). He barely reaches her ankles. Since the two have a son together, Poison Ivy [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction wonders how that works considering the extreme size difference.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: The crew may be supervillains, but he's consistently got the least functional moral compass (alongside Sy). Interestingly, he's both aware of this and none too happy about it (not least because being a horrible jerk to everyone has ruined his career and his life). However, he eventually can't take not doing true evil anymore and quits the team after [[spoiler:Ivy talks some sense into Harley when the latter unleashes a Parademon army in Gotham]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: For most of the series, he's an obnoxious [[TheNapoleon Napoleon]] who only joins Harley because the Legion of Doom kicked him out, but multiple scenes did show he had a softer side, he seemed to genuinely enjoy working with the crew, and was shocked at the gruesome brutality of Queen of Fables like everyone else. By the second half of Season 2, all of his redeeming traits are gone and his worst traits maximized, starting with [[spoiler:taking control of a Parademon army to kill all the people in Gotham and take over the world. Two episodes later, he betrays the crew by teaming up with Riddler and trying to kill Harley.]]
* ToughLove: After a fashion. His son resents him for giving him such a fucked-up childhood until Psycho explains he did that because he cares so much about his son that he didn't want to see his potential as a supervillain going to waste, so he gave his son one big FreudianExcuse to set him in the path of villainy.
* TranslatorBuddy: He plays this role for Mirielle, Sy's sister who got turned into an octopus monster. Psycho uses his telepathic powers to let Sy know how Mirielle feels and help them reconcile.
* WalkingSpoiler: There's a certain thing Dr. Psycho does in Season 2 that makes it difficult to discuss him afterwards. Namely, [[spoiler:that he betrays Harley and forms a BigBadDuumvirate with the Riddler.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler:For all the things Dr. Psycho did to them while he was working under Darkseid, the crew have more or less dropped Psycho from the team. When King Shark, Clayface, and Frank infiltrate Arkham to help Harley escape, they don't even acknowledge him.]]

[[folder:Clayface]]
!!Clayface (Basil Karlo)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clayface_8.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]])
->''"Brother! It is I! The Superman! From Kryptalon!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk, Creator/JonahPlatt (singing voice)
An actor made of clay who takes great pride in his art.
----
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: He often overemphasises the last syllable of a [=sentEEENCE=]. It's generally a sign that he's descended so far into his obsession with LargeHam theatrics that he can't even hold his diction together.
* AdaptationalDumbass: This Clayface is an idiot who can't even go one mission without trying to exaggerate the false identities he creates and constantly overplays the parts. He was easily tricked by Maxi Zeus into blowing his cover, and he blew the team's cover when he was impersonating Batman because he couldn't keep himself from singing.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Most versions of Clayface are murderous, unstable monsters. This one's just a friendly and endearingly inept actor who happens to mostly work for supervillains.
* AdaptationalWimp: In other media, he's a powerful enough {{Shapeshift|ing}}er to warrant [[GodzillaThreshold drastic measures]] specifically for him. Here, Doctor Psycho is able to beat him up with his bare fists and he gets his clock cleaned by Maxie Zeus, a powerless human and lesser villain. In fact, throughout the entire first season, besides his debut appearance's fist fight with Doctor Psycho, the only other (very brief) moment he was seen fighting was shapeshifting his arm into an axe to fend off the sentient tree monsters created by the Scarecrow. This is a far cry from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' where he is a difficult FinalBoss.
** Although the episode "Lover's Quarrel" shows [[spoiler: that he's capable of his more traditional feats of power when under Psycho's MindControl, possibly indicating that his fighting prowess is hampered by his love of "acting" rather than physical weakness]].
* AffablyEvil: Is one of the friendliest members of Harley's crew, after King Shark.
* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Gender identity is always a complex issue when talking about free-form shapeshifters (it's not, after all, something that our understanding of gender and sexuality has had to seriously address so far), but Clayface makes it especially difficult - his ShapeshifterDefaultForm is male and apparently quite comfortable being so, but he only ever attempts any form of romance (whether it be seducing someone for a mission or dating off the clock) when wearing a female form.
* AmbiguouslyGay: When he expresses romantic or sexual interest, it's only ever in men. The 'ambiguous' part comes from the fact that while his ShapeshifterDefaultForm is male, he prefers to approach them as women - see AmbiguousGenderIdentity above.
* BadBadActing: Just like his depiction in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', Clayface is such a bad actor that he rarely ever fools anybody even with his shapeshifting.
* BrainBleach: He throws his eyeballs away upon seeing the carnage left by the Queen of Fables. If anything, he throws them too early, as she follows up by [[FedToPigs cleaning the crime scene]] in a manner [[GoryDiscretionShot too gruesome even for the audience.]]
* BritishTeeth: Has crooked yellow teeth, plus he speaks in a British accent.
* CampGay: So campy that he can play a dramatic college girl as easily as breathing and he's all for transforming into a woman to seduce men more than once.
* ChewingTheScenery: Creator/AlanTudyk is clearly having a ball playing a hammy actor UpToEleven.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Because of his ComplexityAddiction he ends up doing this frequently. When confronted with Red Riding Hood's wolf - a wolf dressed up as an elderly lady - he turned himself into Grandpapa Wolf.
* ComplexityAddiction: Due to his flair for the dramatic, every single character of his must require some kind of elaborate back-story and/or hidden darkness, or else he can't find the motivation to play them. When tasked with ad-libbing the role of a delivery guy to distract Maxie Zeus, his idea is "a delivery guy who is also Maxie's long-lost son", which winds up exposing him as a fraud.
* TheDitz: He demonstrates an incredible level of stupidity. He thought that a tank could shoot invisible missiles, has blown his cover more than once, and it took him a moment to realize that the Big Bad Wolf that the Queen of Fables summoned was not actually a grandmother. He than tried to confuse the wolf by shapeshifting into another wolf ''right in front of it'' and pretending to be its husband. Psycho even pointed out that the wolf was actually a male one wearing a dress and not a female one, so this attempt made no sense even in context. His stupidity is even lampshaded in "Thawing Hearts", when an annoyed Dr. Psycho shouts "God your stupidity is incredible!"
* DramaPreservingHandicap: If he was smart enough to use his shapeshifting properly for infiltration and combat, he'd be the most dangerous and versatile member of Harley's crew by an enormous margin. He isn't, so he's just useful but unreliable.
* DumbIsGood: He's a genuine NiceGuy who's both the least intelligent and least actively murderous member of Harley's team, to the point where he has only ever been seen using violence in defense of himself or the rest of the crew.
* EffeminateVoice: He uses a campy voice when he transforms into a woman to interpret female "roles".
* TheFace: He's the uh, most, uh, '[[LargeHam flamboyant]]' person in the group. At the same time, he ''is'' fairly social and cultured, having introduced King Shark to the group.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Frequently tends to forget about his many many abilities, including...
* IronButtmonkey: Because his clay body renders him largely invulnerable to serious harm, he's been on the receiving end of amusing injuries. Maxie Zeus beats him up, he loses his arm and has to spend most of the episode trying to get it back, and Aquaman beheads him for trying to pose as Superman.
* HiddenDepths: He's not that good of an actor, but he turns out to be quite a good singer.
* LargeHam: As a thespian, he seems incapable of giving a subtle performance. This can actually work in his favor if he impersonates someone who's just as hammy as himself; in "L.O.D.R.SV.P." his disguise as Aquaman is entirely believable and manages to fool two Atlantean guards.
* MasterActor: He thinks he's an amazing actor who can fool anyone with his performances. While his shapeshifting does help with that, he's usually too much of a ham to be taken seriously.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Clayface is kinda bad at villainy in this series, and is only useful as an actor/distraction, and even then it rarely works.
* MorphicResonance: When infiltrating the Iceberg Lounge, his waiter character "Francois" has the same ghastly teeth as he does, a rare slip for a normally talented shapeshifter. [[RuleOfFunny It would've gained more notice if Penguin was the kind of guy to actually pay attention to the help, or if the rest of the crew weren't in even worse disguises.]]
* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: Tends to introduce himself as "it is I, [current identity]!" and will often drop into his disguises' backstories at a drop of a hat.
* MrImagination: Whenever he transforms, he makes up with an elaborated backstory and profile for the character he's playing, to the annoyance of his teammates and whoever he's distracting at the moment.
* NiceGuy: He's an annoying loudmouth, but he's polite, friendly, kind-hearted, and generally not villainous at all outside of his choice of employers. He and King Shark even agree when Batgirl states they are more [[AntiHero anti heroes]] than villains.
* NoodleIncident: He apparently had a bad review of his acting in the past which was worse than literally getting his head sliced off for it.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: He tends to lose his grip on whatever fake voice he's using whenever he gets the chance to talk about his characters' backstories.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: He can call back any parts of him that get cut off or separated, as long as he can see them and they aren't blocked by something.
* RunningGag: Every time he transforms, he sprays clay in every direction.
* ShapeshiftingSeducer: He suggests a plan to seduce the mayor by transforming himself into a woman, and cases Kord Industries by transforming into a woman and seducing a member of the staff.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he's a great actor, but he's anything but.
* TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter: The only clothes he ever wears are part of his transformations.
* ThoseTwoGuys: His dynamic with King Shark, which gets even more pronounced after [[spoiler:Doctor Psycho splits from the crew.]] His bombastic personality is often contrasted with King Shark's more down-to-earth demeanor.
* TookALevelInBadass: He's been far more helpful to the group in Season 2. It's stated that the plan to save the frozen Harley from Penguin was his idea, and when invading Riddle U, he used his disguise work to immediately take suspicion off Harley and Ivy. This extends to combat, as he's much more active in fights than he was in Season 1.
* TrulySingleParent: After one of his limbs cut off, it gains sentience and calls Clayface "Dad".
* UnskilledButStrong: On multiple levels. He's not much of a fighter and not much of an actor, but he's got a superpower that's incredibly useful for both of those jobs. Everything he does ends up as a tug of war between his ineptitude and his massive natural advantages.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can take the form of humans of either sex and animals.
* WickedCultured: For a given meaning of ''wicked'', at least. Say what you will about his abilities as an actor, he ''is'' knowledgeable about Shakespeare (what with being a thespian) and he ''can'' whip up fairly complicated stories at a moment's notice.
* WillfullyWeak: He deliberately chooses to be infiltrator/spy for the Quinn Crew than use his powers to his full potential. [[spoiler:When Doctor Psycho starts controlling his mind, Clayface is able to change size and become a force to be reckoned with.]]

[[folder:King Shark]]
!!King Shark (Nanaue)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_shark_1.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"Is that a shark joke? If so, it's very funny."]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Ron Funches
A happy, easily excited, but ''very'' bloodthirsty shark man.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Harley complained that she couldn't "get a bite" on her website profile, it seems like DudeNotFunny is about to apply when he very seriously asks if that was supposed to be a shark joke. Then he bursts out laughing while saying it was a good one.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He's a lot more cute and less scary-looking than his comic book counterpart.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: He's an UnskilledButStrong BoisterousBruiser in the comics. Here, he's a competent computer hacker.
* AffablyEvil: He acts more like an excitable ManChild most of the time than a monstrous shark. His voice actor flat-out describes him as a great person in everything except ethics.
* ArrangedMarriage: His father, a king, forces him into a political marriage to keep two shark kingdoms from going to war. Neither he nor his wife-to-be are especially interested, but this ends up working to their advantage when they both realise they can just make it an open relationship and live their lives almost entirely separately from each other.
* BadassBoast:
** After it's revealed that the Queen of Fable's wolf was killed:
-->'''Clayface:''' How did you manage to hollow out the innards of that beast?
-->'''King Shark:''' Well, a lot of people ask me who would win between a wolf and a shark. (Spits out bone) It's a shark.
* BenevolentBoss: Zig-zagged. He became boss of the prison when he was briefly incarcerated. He utilized his appearance with some added physical threats to make the other inmates comply with his demands, but also maintains that he doesn’t want to harm his underlings, since he "Like[s] being cool boss".
* BerserkButton: Doesn't appreciate the term "fish" to describe new prisoners.
-->'''King Shark:''' Now fellas, look, I know it's all in fun but ''[[SuddenlyShouting WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THAT WORD?!]]''\\
'''Prisoner 1:''' Oh, yeah. Sorry King.\\
'''Prisoner 2:''' Yeah, sorry about that.\\
'''King Shark:''' Aw, they're learning. Baby steps, right Harley? '''''[[SuddenlyShouting I WILL KILL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS IF I HAVE TO!!!]]'''''
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Normally, he's a nice, geeky, humanoid shark monster. Let him smell blood and you lose the 'nice' and 'geeky' parts.
* {{Bloodlust}}: He's normally meek and polite, but if he smells even a drop of blood he turns into a killing machine. Normally he uses smelling salts to avoid the issue, but they don't work so well in the water.
* CainAndAbel: He killed his brother when he accidentally cut his knee in a fight, which triggered King's bloodlust and drove him into a murderous frenzy. King is guilt-ridden for doing this and it explains his discomfort with blood.
* CharacterDevelopment: In a bizarre fashion, King Shark gets increasingly more comfortable with killing people as the series goes on, to the point his murderous personality shift upon smelling blood mostly disappears.
* CuteAndPsycho: He's an adorably nice computer geek until he smells blood or someone uses "fish" as an insult. He then turns into a murderous monster and you remember he's a dangerous villain. Even without anyone pressing his {{Berserk Button}}s, he'll still bite the head off of anyone in his way.
* CuteGiant: He is a giant SharkMan who is ironically enough, quite cute, especially with his friendly demeanor.
* DoubleMeaning: King Shark says he can't handle blood at the idea of being the shark in their shark tank. It is later revealed that the smell of blood actually makes him go feral with {{Bloodlust}} and causes him to actually try to kill Robin when he nosebleeds into the tank. Doctor Psycho and Clayface admit that they both thought King Shark meant he was AfraidOfBlood.
* TheEngineer: Besides being a stellar hacker, he can build and modify vehicles and equipment, such as turning a regular car into a death car with a gatling gun.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Is disturbed by Harley's declaration she's going to murder Robin, a[[note]] granted, ''incredibly'' annoying[[/note]] child.
--->'''Ivy:''' If you do it, you validate what everyone's saying, that Robin's your nemesis.\\
'''Shark:''' ''Also'' you'd be a child killer, which ''some'' may argue is worse.
** He drops his typical LargeHam demeanor after watching Clayface WaterfallPuke out clay that is then reabsorbed into his body.
--->'''Shark''': I do not understand how you live with yourself.
** He also was very uncomfortable with the idea of being the ThreateningShark circling around Robin and had to be told repeatedly that they weren't asking him to eat him. Of course, getting a whiff of Robin's blood via a bleeding nose caused him to lose all restraint, but his reaction to blood was one of the reasons why he was against doing the act in the first place.
*** He also seemed reluctant to play a negative stereotype of sharks. When Clayface volunteers to be the shark and describes his interpretation, King Shark is convinced to do it himself.
** He only eats humans as part of business but tries to avoid women and children (until his accidental blood frenzy), and swore he wouldn't kill old people.
* EvilGenius: He was brought onto Harley's crew for his technical know-how.
* FaceOfAThug: By supervillain standards at least. He's actually a lot more happy-go-lucky and dorky than his appearance would suggest. That is, as long as he doesn't [[UnstoppableRage smell blood]].
* GeniusBruiser: He's a computer expert and knowledgeable about the failings of the prison industrial complex. He's also the most physically powerful member of Harley's crew.
* TheHeart: Ironically he's one of the nicest members of Harley's crew despite being a humanoid shark.
* ImAHumanitarian: He eats people, both for business and for pleasure. When he sees a diver in a fishtank at the Legion of Doom headquarters, he reacts like he's just seen a free buffet.
* LargeHam: Most of his dialogue is delivered AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS!
* MadeOfIron: Doesn't even flinch when Harley breaks a wooden bat on his face and he reacts with only a lowkey "Ow?"
* ManBitesMan: His go-to move in a fight is to take a bite out of whoever he needs gone.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: If he gets a whiff of blood he'll become feral and attack the source to eat them. [[spoiler: He tries to eat Robin and Wonder Woman, and he tragically ate his own brother when he accidentally cut the latter's leg during a scrap.]]
* NiceGuy: Unlike Clayface and Psycho, he doesn't need Ivy to convince him to risk his life to help Harley in "Being Harley Quinn". He and Clayface also both agree with Batgirl when she states that she doesn't really see the crew as villains.
* PlayfulHacker: A competent hacker.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: "Bachelorette" reveals King Shark is the crown prince of the shark kingdom, but had run away to avoid an ArrangedMarriage.
* SharkMan: He's a large shark-human hybrid with rows of sharp teeth.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He wears minuscule pince-nez glasses when playing the EvilGenius.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He can talk to fish, but doesn't speak Dolphin. He knows a little Porpoise, though, but...[[note]] he was cut off, but Porpoise likely is to Dolphin like Spanish is to French or Portuguese.[[/note]]
* ThreateningShark: He's a generally [[AffablyEvil surprisingly friendly]] SharkMan, but he is still a supervillain who has eaten people.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Clayface, especially after [[spoiler:Doctor Psycho defects.]] Clayface's constant dramatics make King Shark look even more normal in comparison. It's also revealed that the two knew each other before they became part of Harley's crew, as Clayface is the one who contacted King Shark.
* TheToothHurts: The Season 1 finale has the Joker rip out many of King Shark's teeth and use them to make a necklace.
** He also ends up trying to bite into Wonder Woman's unbreakable bracelets when they fight in "Lover's Quarrel", which ends up breaking his front teeth.

[[folder:Frank the Plant]]
!!Frank the Plant
->'''Voiced by:''' JB Smoove
Ivy's giant talking venus fly trap.
----
* AndIMustScream: He claims to have spent ten years in a dog park before Ivy made him anthropomorphic, implying he was conscious the entire time.
* BizarreAlienBiology: In addition to flowering eyes growing out of stalks on either side of him, he's shown to have a tiny buttocks on the back of his "head", in spite of not having legs or the kind of digestive system that would need it.
* CanonForeigner: One of the few characters made specifically for the show.
* CommutingOnABus: Frank seems to vanish from the screen anytime the plot doesn't really need him, he was away from a few episodes in Season 1, and Season 2 does the same; meanwhile everyone else in Harley's crew is always seen, in all episodes.
* EveryoneHasStandards: As much of a jerk he is, he’s furious that the Joker killed Howie Mandel.
* {{Expy}}: To Audrey 2 of ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'' being a trash-talking man-eating plant with a penchant for insulting and lowering the self-esteem of those around him. He's also named after that film's director Creator/FrankOz.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Openly obnoxious and rude, completely apathetic to Harley's problems, and has no problem letting bad things happen just to see a reaction. But ironically, he's not as bad as a lot of the show's other villains. Despite him being a grade-A jerk most of the time, he's ultimately loyal to Ivy and does understand how much Harley means to her. In "Bensonhurst", he drives to pick up Harley first to help rescue Ivy when he finds out that she's in trouble. [[spoiler:He later joins Clayface and King Shark in helping Harley escape from Arkham, though she turns them down.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** When Ivy claims [[IWorkAlone she works alone]], Frank points out her [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]] given her reliance on plants, not to mention using him as a servant.
** In response to Harley wanting to break into the facility holding Ivy, Frank states Harley will get shot and killed if she goes in alone.
* ManEatingPlant: He's a mutated venus flytrap and he's shown an appetite for humans. In the first episode, he ate a kid and his parents offscreen and [[VomitIndiscretionShot barfs up their skeletons]].
* NoSympathy: After Harley confides to him that she's realized the Joker doesn't actually love her, he responds with this:
-->'''Frank:''' Oh boo-''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]''-hoo! [[AndIMustScream I spent ten years in a dog park]]. Come talk to me when a St. Bernard shits on your face!
* PhraseCatcher: "Shut up, Frank!", which Ivy yells at him whenever he annoys her.
* TeamPet: A pet that speaks, snarks, and swear. [[spoiler:After Doctor Psycho quits the crew, Frank the Plant starts taking his place, attending Kite Man's bachelor party and accompanying Clayface and King Shark on their Arkham jailbreak.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: He has no issue eating a kid. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Or their parents.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"I'm back baby!"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JasonAlexander
Ivy's grouchy landlord who also happens to be a cyborg.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: He's far more skilled and versatile than his comics counterpart, being able to singlehandedly take down numerous goons and even ''transform into a sedan.''
* AlterKocker: Much like his comics incarnation, though he avoids the YiddishAsASecondLanguage.
* BrainUploading: His consciousness is stored in his mechanical eye, and can be accessed by plugging a phone jack into a TV. [[spoiler:After his HeroicSacrifice, he uses this to upgrade to a stand mixer so he can help Kite Man finish the mind control blocker to fight against Dr. Psycho.]]
* {{Cyborg}}: He's got a bionic arm and leg, though the latter is superfluous since he's in a wheelchair.
* DisposingOfABody: His main job back when he was a CIA agent was to be a "go-to cleaner" whenever a mess happened and they needed someone to get rid of the corpses.
* EvilFeelsGood: Wishes to join Harley's crew and get back into villainy, since nearly burning them made him feel alive again.
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler: I REGRET [[BaitAndSwitch LOTS OF THINGS!]]]]
* GrumpyOldMan: He's an elderly man in a perpetually foul mood.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Sy blows himself up to allow Harley, Gordon, and The Joker to escape from Dr. Psycho.]]
* IKnowAGuy: He has connections to such villains as Black Mamba and Henry Kissinger.
* {{Irony}}: The disabled CIA spook gets his car towed for parking in a handicap spot because he doesn't want to register with the government.
* ItsAllMyFault: He blamed himself for his sister Mirielle being turned into an octopus monster because one of her hybrid mutation experiments WentHorriblyWrong when she was trying to create the octopus-monkey he asked her to make.
* JewishComplaining: Constantly complains about Ivy's guests.
* NobleDemon: A GrumpyOldMan and war criminal though he may be, he's nothing but helpful to Harley's crew once he joins. [[spoiler:He even performs a HeroicSacrifice to help Harley, Gordon, and The Joker escape from Dr. Pscyho.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Via BrainUploading. As it turns out, his consciousness is stored in his cybernetic eye, which allows him to be revived as a stand mixer.]]
* PainfulTransformation: His transformation into a sedan is shown to be very bloody and very painful. Changing back is even more painful.
* PunnyName: '''Sy Borg'''man is a man with robotic parts. He is literally a cyborg.
* RacistGrandpa: He's implied to have some very un-PC views. It's treated like FantasticRacism when he mistakes King Shark for a pet.
* RedScare: One of his rules is "No commies."
* RetiredBadass: He's a retired CIA fixer who was legendary (not always in positive ways) for his ability to make even the biggest, messiest problems disappear.
* RetiredMonster: Again, CIA fixer during the Cold War. Superman explicitly calls him a war criminal, and he's both open and quite unrepentant about the monstrous things he used to be involved in.
** He gets Vietnam flashbacks in the first episode of Season 2, which are implied to be ''enjoyable'' to him.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: He's a little out there; when King Shark calls him xenophobic, Sy apparently doesn't recognize the word and mistakes it for a reference to ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess''.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: He's quite old and not terribly concerned with politeness.
* SeniorSleepCycle: He falls asleep randomly throughout ''Harley Quinn Highway''.
* ShoePhone: He has a phone built into his bionic leg. In his old age, however, he complains that the buttons are hard to read.
* SixthRanger: He doesn't formally join the crew until near the end of Season 1.
* SuperWheelchair: His wheelchair is equipped with all sorts of gadgets. Guns, a backhoe, a helicopter. The latter would be more impressive if it didn't have trouble lifting more than one person. And if he remembered to keep the diesel topped off.
* SupportPartyMember: For most of season one. After joining Harley's crew, he only goes with them on one mission (to steal a sarcophagus) and doesn't even join them in the Legion of Doom. Harley outright states at one point that he was never really part of the crew. This gets averted later on when he helps them save Ivy.
* TokenEvilTeammate: As a retired war criminal and a CIA agent during the Cold War, he's been involved in more serious, professional evil than most of the gang, and he carries the attitude over. They recruit him after he almost kills them all.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He has implants that allow him to turn into a sedan decked out with weaponry. The exact process of doing so however... [[BodyHorror isn't pretty]].

!!Supervillains

!!!The Legion of Doom

[[folder:In General]]
----
* CardCarryingVillain: All of them are completely open about their villainy.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Doctor Psycho is expelled for calling Wonder Woman the C-word.
* LegionOfDoom: [[TropeNamer Duh]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The higher-ups in the Legion display some pretty sexist behavior, as the scarcity of female supervillains in their ranks can attest to, [[{{Hypocrite}} yet apparently Doctor Psycho saying the C-word is the line they're not willing to cross]] ([[HypocriteHasAPoint Though as it turns out, neither would Darkseid]]).
* PunchClockVillain: Their entire schtick. In this show, being a supervillain is like a career path, and the Legion is a fancy big-time corporation that villains aspire to join. They have meetings to discuss evil plans, have a pool of henchmen they can request or be loaned out for schemes, and even have a coffee lounge where they gossip like co-workers.
* UncertainDoom:
** [[spoiler:The Joker blew up the Legion of Doom headquarters at the end of Season 1 and talks about the Legion like it's been destroyed, but no bodies are shown or specific deaths confirmed, so any number of the Legion's members could have survived or just been out of the building at the time.]]
** Bane, Penguin, the Riddler, and Two-Face return in Season 2 -- with new addition Mr. Freeze -- to form their new organization, the "Injustice League".
** Luthor later turns up just fine in Season 2's Episode 9, during an operation to take over Themyscira.
** Several more members turn up as guests at Ivy's (aborted) wedding, so we can assume that few if any were casualties of Joker's coup.

!!ComicBook/TheJoker
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joker_smiles_before_killing_scarecrow.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk
----
* AceCustom: A lot, if not, all of the Joker's weapons and gear have his color motifs (green and purple) or his face on them.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: During Season 2 when he's sane, amnesiac, and normal-looking, he's surprisingly handsome and fit. Every other occasion where he's depicted to have a normal appearance, he's always shown ranging from ordinary looking to utterly nerdy.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Believe it or not he's actually worse towards Harley here than he is normally. He's just as abusive and emotionally manipulative as normal but his ego is so bad here that the thought of Harley choosing to leave him drives him up the wall and takes greater pains to keep her around when the risk presents itself. His usual view of Harley is that she's a useful minion but otherwise is as ambivalent about whether she leaves or not as he is about anything else and will likely try killing her more out of principle than out of personal grievance.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's [[TookALevelInKindness mellowed out considerably]] after briefly losing his memories, and he genuinely comes to love both Bethany and her kids. He also gives genuine advice to Harley regarding her relationship with Ivy.
* AlphaBitch: Acts like every other villain -- even heavy-hitters like Two-Face, the Scarecrow, Bane and the Penguin -- is part of his devoted entourage or personal goon squad, and orders them around and mistreats them without any regard to their feelings, just because he's considered the #1 criminal in Gotham. Harley embarrasses him by publicly calling him out for being such a dick in "A High Bar", even referring to his behavior as bullying; although he tries to laugh the situation off, the others agree with her that he can be pretty cruel at times.
* AmbiguouslyBi: He is Harley's ex, but his relationship with Batman is treated romantically. Harley is also not convinced when he denies having sex with Bane and the Scarecrow.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent:: [[spoiler:Season 2 shows that being dunked into his own memory-wiping acid turned him into a kindhearted, normal everyman who genuinely cares about his girlfriend and her kids, pretty much the opposite of his usual persona, with no memory of being a supervillain.]]
* ArcVillain: The main antagonist of Season 1.
* AttentionWhore: He doesn't like ''any'' other villain hogging up the news spotlight.
* AxCrazy: As per the norm with the Joker, he kills almost anyone near him ([[BadBoss even his own men]]) within seconds without any thought or reason, even labeling himself an "[[Film/TheDarkKnight agent of chaos]]".
* BadBoss: He shoots and blows up his own goons whenever he feels annoyed or bored.
* BadassInANiceSuit: As is usual for the character, the Joker takes charge as an A-list villain in a sharp purple suit and tie.
* BaitTheDog: Throughout most of the "A Seat at the Table" episode, the Joker treats Harley with respect, acknowledges her accomplishments and acts as if he finally takes her seriously as a fellow supervillain instead of a disposable minion. Near the end, he does what Harley always dreamed about by taking her with him to escape from Batman instead of leaving her behind... And then pushes Harley out of the helicopter. As Batman says to Harley, some things never change.
-->'''Joker''': Oh, Harley! I couldn't leave you on that boat, I need you...[[ThrowTheDogABone for this.]]\\
''(Joker kisses Harley, and then sees the Batwing fly close by)''\\
'''Joker''': '''AND ''[[YankTheDogsChain THIS!]]'''''\\
''(Throwing Harley off the helicopter, the Joker laughs maniacally as he watches her descent)''
* TheBartender: [[spoiler:His sane self shows up working as a bartender in season 2.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: In "The Final Joke" he makes a chemical bath to erase Harley's memories and distinctive bleached skin, to turn her into a "nobody" he won't have to care about anymore. [[spoiler:At the end of the episode, Harley and Ivy throw him into it instead, reducing him to his regular amnesiac Pre Joker rather than the Clown Prince of Crime.]]
* TheBully: He takes every chance he gets trying to belittle, upstage, sabotage, and/or humiliate Harley whether she's attending a bar mitzah or stealing a nuclear warhead from the Russians. He's hardly any better to his peers in the Legion of Doom, as he casually bosses them around, insults them to their faces, and [[EnemyEatsYourLunch steals food right off their plates]].
* BullyingADragon: Insults and orders around his fellow villains but especially Bane-who could snap him in half without Venom. Clearly they only put up with him out of fear, until Harley points out that he has no powers whatsoever, and they don't have to listen to him.
* CannotTellAJoke: While he still gets a few good ones, this incarnation of the Joker is just plain bad at most of his jokes. The media consider Riddler funnier, and he can't stand it when Harley says one of his stories is hilarious but doesn't laugh. At one point, he explains to a captive Gotham that his off-screen henchmen found his last joke funny, though no laughter could be heard.
* TheConfidant: [[spoiler:The sane Joker, of all people, is the one who offers to lend an ear to Harley's love life problems with Ivy.]]
* ConsummateLiar: Whenever the Joker makes a confession or promise, especially to Harley, you can be sure he's telling lies to manipulate her. As Ivy says, the Joker always lies should be surprise to no one but Harley.
* CrazyJealousGuy: When he finds out Batman didn't come to stop him from robbing a bank because he's fighting Harley, he gets pissed off at Harley trying to steal "his" Batman.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: He '''''cannot''''' stand raisins. When Harley gave him pudding full of chocolate chips in "Til Death Do Us Part", he is so riled up by the Riddler's newfound infamy that he is quick to assume the pudding has raisins instead and ''[[DisproportionateRetribution shoots it to crumbs.]]''
* DomesticAbuse: During his entire relationship with Harley, he emotionally manipulated, lied, and repeatedly abandoned her. Harley put up with it for so long because she deluded herself into thinking he loved her... until he doesn't hesitate to drop her into what both think is acid just so the Riddler doesn't take the credit for killing Batman. It pisses him off so much when she finally leaves him, he sics his goons on her (which only leads to his men getting killed or fucked up and his evil lair destroyed).
* TheDreaded: Why he can act like an AlphaBitch and order around even Gotham A-Listers like they're cannon fodder -- he pretty clearly scares the hell out of them. It doesn't last though, when Harley points out to the other Gotham supervillains that he's being a bully to people stronger than him.
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: [[spoiler:His new girlfriend loves him and stays with him even after he's turned back evil.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Even after returning to his original evil self, Joker still loves his new girlfriend and her kids. He admits nothing will ever change him being a murderous psycho, but he has found people he truly cares about for the first time.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** He's genuinely disturbed at Commissioner Gordon's SanitySlippage because in his eyes, all he did was "paralyze" his "partner". Now keep in mind that he ''intended'' to drive Gordon crazy in the source material, so either [[UpToEleven this was not the amount of crazy he aimed for]] or [[ButForMeItWasTuesday this was collateral damage for something that happened along the way]].
** He complains about the Queen of Fables indulging in alcohol, saying it's only Wednesday.
* EvilLaugh: He wouldn't be the Joker without it.
* FamilyMan: As unbelievable as it is, [[spoiler:sane Joker finds himself a nice girlfriend and loves her two kids as if they were his own. After Harley turns him back into his evil self, Joker still loves his new family, but he's not going to quit being a serial killer.]]
* FoeRomanceSubtext: As Harley notes, the Joker "only loves Batman". In one episode, he breaks into a fight between Harley and Batman and raves at her about trying to steal "his Batman" and proclaims on national television that he and Batman are "together".
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite his status as #1 criminal in Gotham, most if not all the rest of the rogues fear or just straight-up dislike him either because of his DomesticAbuse on Harley, or just [[WithFriendsLikeThese because he's a dick]].
** To illustrate this trope, when Harley jokes with the Scarecrow, Two-Face, and Bane, they laugh in genuine matter. But when the Joker mocks Harley, their laughs sound more forced.
* GoodFeelsGood: [[spoiler:Played with. After losing his memories, he spends an idyllic six months as a NiceGuy suburban dad. When he gets his memories back, he decides that it was a much better and healthier lifestyle than his previous one... and decided to be both an ideal husband and father with a loving family and an A-list supervillain. The last we see of him, he's actually making it work.]]
* GoodStepmother: A male example. [[spoiler:He really loves his girlfriend's children and they quickly accept him because he got them a puppy. Impressively, he manages to keep it going even after he gets his previous memories back and becomes a supervillain again.]]
* HateSink: Since this series is meant to be the story of Harley Quinn breaking free of his grip on her, he's made as despicable as possible to heighten the catharsis of her triumphs over him. His DomesticAbuser traits are ramped up to make him a misogynistic asshole who treats Harley like a piece of property and hates women in general, he's a raging narcissist who makes everything about himself and cares for no one else, and the usual [[TheDreaded dominance and fear]] he evokes in his fellow supervillains is framed like a petty AlphaBitch bossing around their cronies. And he also retains his usual schtick of being a mass-murdering cackling psychopath. [[spoiler:He drops several of his more unpleasant traits upon his return in season 2. He's still a mass-murdering psychopath, but his time with Bethany while amnesiac makes him realize what true love is. He also no longer is focused on or seemingly even interested in claiming Harley like property.]]
* HesBack: [[spoiler: Harley reluctantly shoves a sane amnesiac Joker into the acid vat in order to restore his memories, being that only the Joker knows where the Justice League is being imprisoned. Luckily, his six months of amnesia left an impression, and while he's still a highly dangerous supervillain, he's much less of a jerk.]]
* HijackedByGanon:
** In the second half of the first season, the focus shifted from him to Lex Luthor as the main villain, as Luthor is the one manipulating Harley and Ivy and is implied to be behind the abduction of Ivy via the Scarecrow. [[spoiler:Then the penultimate episodes of the season reveals the Scarecrow was actually working for ''him'', and he blows up the Legion of Doom and becomes the FinalBoss of the season.]]
** Subverted in the second season. [[spoiler:Harley reverses his amnesia in a GodzillaThreshold moment to help deal with Dr. Psycho, but rather than becoming the new BigBad (as one would normally expect from him), he's been changed enough by his time without his memories to remain a help rather than a hindrance. They even part on reasonably cordial terms once she no longer needs his assistance.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: He says women cannot be funny, meanwhile his favorite movie is ''Film/LegallyBlonde''.
** After successfully stealing a nuclear bomb Harley failed to make off with, Harley accuses him of only being successful because he has a bunch of goons who do whatever he says. The Joker denies this, and then orders his goons to throw Harley out the door, and they respond "Whatever you say."
* IGaveMyWord: The only good thing that can be said about him was that he kept his promise and released Harley's crew when she turned herself over to him and wore her old costume.
* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: [[spoiler:When he was with Harley, he only used her as a plaything for mind games and abuse because she was fascinated with the famous killer clown and believed anything he told her that would make her feel needed. With his new girlfriend Bethany, he met and fell in love with her when he was an amnesiac average Joe and her headstrong personality won't ever let him manipulate her like he could with Harley.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Batman and Harley describe him as a sociopathic narcissist, and his portrayal in the show embodies both the sociopath and the narcissist. He forces people to go along with whatever he's doing, and what upsets him more than anything else is Harley getting away from him to be her own superperson, whether heroic or villainous. Even regarding Batman, he doesn't give a damn who he is or why he exists, only that he exists for his own rivalry and amusement. [[spoiler:This seems to no longer be the case after he regains his memories, as the affection he developed towards Bethany and her kids while sane remained even though he has no intentions of turning back from being a serial killer.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a slimy and manipulative misogynist who verbally abuses even the villains he calls friends. and murders his own henchmen at random.
* KavorkaMan: Despite his clownish looks, he is able to charm women to him, not easily but good enough.
* KillAndReplace: The very first scene of the series shows him killing a guy and making a literal bodysuit out of his skin.
* LaughingMad: He's usually less prone to it than other versions, but any chance he gets to do something exceptionally cruel to others ''really'' sets him off; after [[spoiler:murdering Ivy with a harpoon and seeing Harley break down in tears]], he can barely do anything but cackle at her grief.
* LostPetGrievance: His FreudianExcuse story has his AbusiveDad killing his beloved pet ferret. [[spoiler:Of course, it's a subversion because that story was actually about Ivy's ficus and Joker just stole it to buy Harleen's sympathy.]]
* LoveEpiphany: [[spoiler: He starts bringing up his relationship with Bethany seemingly just to taunt Harley about it only to realize mid-thought that he actually ''was'' in love with her.]]
* LoveIsAWeakness: In the SeasonFinale, he claims he was in love with Harley, which he views as a weakness that he must eliminate. [[spoiler:His time while amnesiac with Bethany makes him realize what true love is upon his return in season two.]]
* MadeOfIron: Survived both a chemical bathe, and being at the center of a city leveling earthquake.
* MakeUpIsEvil: Harley says he always stole her lipstick. He also seems to wear eyeshadow.
* MonsterClown
* {{Narcissist}}: Referred to as one by Harley and Batman. All the Joker cares about is himself, getting what he wants and having all the power and attention of Gotham for himself.
* NoHonorAmongThieves: Forced Harley to fend off Batman to buy him enough time to escape and never even bothered to come back for her despite his promises to do so.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: He would readily choose to have his PerkyFemaleMinion killed before letting another supervillain have the glory of killing his ArchNemesis Batman.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: He's in such a funk over Harley that when he tortures Batman and murders the Scarecrow, he's just bored.]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: As well as his long history of abusing Harley, the Joker is shown to be pretty slimy and misogynistic in general; when one of his henchmen suggests Harley is the funniest criminal in Gotham, he repeatedly shoots the guy in the chest, saying "women aren't funny" with the same dismissive tone an older stand-up might use when talking about female comics.
* {{Pride}}: His defining trait. The Joker won't ever accept anyone as his equal and has zero respect for his minions and other supervillains. Harley dumping him infuriates him because she's his "creation" and he won't ever accept her gaining independence from him. Even when pretending to praise Harley, he won't call her better than him.
* PsychopathicManchild: At his core, he's an overgrown, attention-seeking brat whose favorite game is brutally massacring people and playing with their minds.
* SecretIdentityApathy: [[spoiler:His already foul mood in "The Final Joke" is made considerably worse when the Scarecrow rips off Batman's cowl, as "half the fun" of their rivalry was not knowing that Batman was "some boring rich asshole with parental issues". Even after killing Scarecrow and still having Bruce at his mercy, rather than twist the knife over his enemy's childhood trauma, he just goes off on a petty rant about how [=WayneTech=] hasn't delivered on an electric car they promised last year.]]
* TheSociopath: Pretty much standard for the Joker. He talks about the horrible things he does with a blase demeanor, treats violence as a joke, manipulates Harley, is incredibly prideful, treats his own minions like they're disposable (if he doesn't outright kill them himself for petty reasons), is unpredictably violent, bullies his own colleagues, and shows no remorse for anything he does. Both Batman and Harley describe him as a "sociopathic narcissist" in the Season One finale. [[spoiler:He's still a violent serial killer upon his return in season two, but he actually seems to edge a bit away from this trope by wishing to maintain his connection with Bethany and her kids, seemingly showing that he's developed the capacity to care about other people.]]
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: PlayedWith. [[spoiler:At the end of the first SeasonFinale, the Joker is rendered an amnesiac and completely sane. In season 2, Harley finds him as a normal man, but his original evil personality is still there, just dormant. The Joker's personality effectively regains full control after Harley pushes him into a chemical bath so that he can remember the location of the imprisoned Justice League. It's PlayedWith because while he tries to convince others that his normal persona meant nothing, the love that he developed for his new family as a normal man comes rushing back after he becomes the Joker again.]]
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: It's revealed in "Devil's Snare" that he plotted with the Scarecrow and the Queen of Fables to destroy the Legion of Doom and replace it with an organization devoted entirely to him.]]
* StatusQuoIsGod: [[spoiler:You didn't think the Joker would remain a sane amnesiac forever did you?]]
* StickyBomb: His WeaponOfChoice seems to be sticky explosive discs with his face plastered on them. His use of them actually causes his downfall in the first episode, as Harley steals a few from a crate full of them to destroy his hideout.
* TakingYouWithMe: Tries to inflict this on Harley, Ivy, Batman [[UpToEleven and seemingly]] ''all of Gotham'' as his final criminal act before his DeathOfPersonality.
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:A ''very'' minor but noticeable one upon his return ins season two. He's still a {{Jerkass}} and serial killer, but he seems to no longer be obsessed with possessing Harley, considering that he gives her some legitimate advice regarding her relationship with Poison Ivy. He also still wants to make his relationship with Bethany and her kids work, while he originally was completely obsessed with himself and Batman.]]
* TroubledButCute: What attracted Harley to him was believing the possibility that he was a human being traumatized in his childhood and in need of her help. Hearing his FreudianExcuse story with an AbusiveParent made her think she was right about him [[spoiler:until Ivy reveals he simply stole ''her'' FreudianExcuse to buy Harley's sympathy]].
* {{Understatement}}: He "paralyzed" Commissioner Gordon's "partner" and he's not sure why the commissioner's gone so crazy from it.
* VagueAge: The Scarecrow specifically says the Joker is 38 years old while the Clown Prince himself swears that off, saying he is only 25 years old. That goes in hand with the eternal mythos that he will never have a definitive background, and later with the updated lore that there’s even more than one person being the Joker.
* VictoryIsBoring: [[spoiler: Once he has imprisoned Batman and exposed his identity, he finds him boring and loses interest. That said, at the time this happens he is more obsessed with breaking Harley, enough so that it overrides even his rivalry with Batman.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Being faced with [[FateWorseThanDeath turning back to normal]] leaves him begging for his life.]]
* WeaponOfChoice: He primarily uses acid as his main weapon, often to disolve his victim alive.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Even among the villains he calls his friends, the Joker is casually rude and verbally abusive, and they just take it until Harley convinces them to stand up to him. [[spoiler: He also kills Scarecrow without second though when he unmasks Batman to improve the Joker's mood.]]
* YouGotSpunk: He said this word for word during his first meeting with Harley where the then psychiatrist showed him she wasn't afraid of him and fought off his attempts at retaining her. It was most likely what made him want to dominate her for the rest of their relationship.

[[folder:Lex Luthor]]
!!ComicBook/LexLuthor
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GiancarloEsposito
Superman's ArchEnemy, CEO of [=LexCorp=], and leader of the Legion of Doom.
----

* AmbiguouslyBrown: He's got rather dark skin, and is played by a black actor. It appears that this version of Lex Luthor is designed to look more like Lex as he appears in WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries, rather than the fairer skinned version in WesternAnimation/YoungJustice.
* BaldOfEvil: As typical, he doesn't have a single hair on his head.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He wouldn't be Lex if he wasn't this. In "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", he acts nothing but gracious and polite to Harley, while secretly scheming to use her to force Ivy to join the Legion.
* CardCarryingVillain: When he appears on the news to kick Doctor Psycho out of the Legion of Doom, he mentions Psycho does not represent the Legion's brand of evil.
* ComicallySerious: Much of the humor revolving around him comes from reacting to series' wacky situations with a straight face.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He kicks Doctor Psycho out of the Legion of Doom after he calls Wonder Woman and Giganta the C-word. Not that he respects women that much, but he at least has the decency to not insult them on national television.
* EvilCounterpart: Despite being Superman's ArchEnemy, Lex himself can be considered this to Bruce Wayne, both being public billionaires of their own cities and both are the only normals of their supergroups with Luthor being one of the villains.
* KarmaHoudini: Shows up during season 2 alive and well, so he more or less got away with trying to drive a wedge between Harley and Ivy.
* KnightOfCerebus: Not that he doesn't have comedic moments himself, but the moment he introduces himself to Harley is when Harley's relationships start becoming strained, shifting the show more into dramedy territory.
* ManipulativeBastard: This is Lex Luthor after all. When Ivy refuses to join the Legion of Doom, Luthor let Harley join with the apparent intent of driving a wedge between the two of them.
* MythologyGag: DCAU ethnically ambiguous Lex is back!
* PetTheDog: He's actually pretty supportive to Harley in her first LOD meeting, even agreeing with her about the over-complicated nature of the Joker's plan and affably explaining how the meetings work.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Despite disapproving of Doctor Psycho's misogyny, he displays quite a few sexist tendencies in his own right, as shown in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.". He doesn't bother to remember the name of the ''sole female member'' (Cheetah) of the Legion, and was willing to use Harley's desire to be in the Legion to force Ivy to join. Then there's the fact that he willingly hands Harley over to the Joker, whose mistreatment of her is well-known practically everywhere.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: He's virtually identical to his [[Franchise/TheDCAU DCAU]] incarnation, at least in looks.
* SlaveToPR:
** While his public firing of Dr. Psycho after he insulted women on live television twice looked like an EvenEvilHasStandards moments at first, his own sexist behaviour in private hints that it was more about keeping his [[VillainWithGoodPublicity public image]] than anything else.
** Taken to comedic extreme with the revelation that a local sex shop is ripping off the Legion's name, and all he can do is roll his eyes and let the matter play out in court since using "evil" methods would bring bad PR.
* TakeThat: One of the headlines during the breaking news segment of Wonder Woman and Doctor Psycho's fight is Lex launching a tirade against Superman on Twitter, which is generally a TakeThat towards Twitter rants by and towards prominent figures like politicians and celebrities.
* ToxicInc: One of the many divisions of Lexcorp is a company simply called "Planetwide Pavers".
* VillainousValor: He gets restrained by Ivy's plants, and doesn't even flinch.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Typical Lex Luthor, however this version is more honest about the fact he's a villain and leads the Legion of Doom, but nobody arrests him.

[[folder:The Scarecrow]]
!!ComicBook/TheScarecrow (Jonathan Crane)
[[quoteright:269:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_scarecrow.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Rahul Kohli
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Subverted. He is initially depicted as a friendly if a bit gossipy man, in a similar manner to Bane. [[spoiler:Then he kidnaps Ivy and starts harvesting her pheromones to use for his fear toxin.]]
* ArcVillain: [[spoiler:His kidnapping of Ivy and harvesting of her pheromones ends up making him the antagonist of episodes 10-12.]]
* BeneathTheMask: No pun intended, but while he appears to just be another Legion member who treats his work like a day job, he turns out to be just as much of a loon as his comic counterpart obsessed with spreading fear and destruction all over Gotham.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's introduced in a casual setting as the Legion's resident gossip and generally is presented as a friendly, personable man. [[spoiler:Then it's revealed he's working with the Joker and the Queen of Fables to abduct Ivy and use her pheromones to create a toxin that mutates Gotham's plantlife into giant tree monsters, and he's also complicit in the Joker's plan to blow up the Legion of Doom and take over Gotham for himself.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He seems like just another PunchClockVillain, but [[spoiler:it's then revealed that he ''willingly'' teamed up with the Joker and the Queen of Fables to destroy Gotham and the Legion of Doom in ''Devil's Snare'']].
* CoDragons: He and the Queen of Fables are revealed to be the Joker's by the end of the first season. However, the Joker holds him in far less esteem than he does the Queen of Fables. [[spoiler:His lack of creativity -- the Joker even sniffs at how "one-note" he is with his fear toxin -- and continuing deference to the stronger villain solidifies his position as the Joker's sidekick after his Gotham takeover. He even makes the fatal mistake of impulsively unmasking Batman, just because it's something he thinks Harley would do.]]
* CreativeSterility: The Joker mocks him for his evil schemes being "one-note" to using his fear toxin.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:A twofer. His face first gets melted off by acid, and his skull explodes shortly afterwards.]]
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:He's killed by the Joker]].
* DeathBySecretIdentity: [[spoiler:He's one of two people to find out Batman's secret identity but is killed by the Joker for unceremoniously unmasking Batman.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: Impulsively unmasks Batman without thinking about the Joker's response. The latter berates him, saying that he could have unmasked Batman from the start if he was actually interested in finding out his secret identity. The Scarecrow sadly pays for it with a face full of acid.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Subverted. He’s rather uncomfortable with the Joker's poor treatment of Bane. Doesn't stop him from joining him and helping him destroy the Legion of Doom (which Bane was a member of)'s lair.
** PlayedForLaughs example. While he's a supervillain, he considers the medical insurance industry to be the real villains.
* EvilBrit: Speaks with his voice actor's natural English accent in the show.
* FamousLastWords: "I'm sorry. Look, I must've misread the situation when you kept saying her name and reminiscing about all your memories together. Over and over and over and-".
* FauxAffablyEvil: While holding Ivy prisoner to extract her pheromones, he keeps his gossipy and chatty persona-even when giving a lethal dose of his fear toxin.
* GossipyHens: He's shown to be the Legion of Doom's office gossip.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: The Joker brutally murdering him by spraying acid into his face for unmasking Batman. Considering this guy is responsible for killing God knows how many people it's really hard to feel bad for him.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:The Joker douses him with a full squirt of his acid boutonniere in the Season 1 finale, graphically melting his head down to the bone on-screen and splattering it apart.]]
* MythologyGag:
** Joker's taunts about Scarecrow having nothing but fear gas? Comic Joker did the same.
** This isn’t the first time [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/ArkhamKnight Scarecrow unmasked Batman before getting screwed over by the Joker.]]]]
* NerdInEvilsHelmet: He and Bane have a bit of this dynamic, like when they disrupt a LOD meeting for a minute to discuss how a sequel to ''Up'' might work.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: After being introduced as another one of the Joker's punching bags, he really shows why his name is ''Scare''crow when he [[spoiler: captures Poison Ivy and extracts her pheromones to enhance his fear toxin. He then spreads the concoction through the earth, creating an army of evil mobile man-eating trees that proceed to rapidly build up a body count]].
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:Has one moments before the Joker prepares to kill him.]]
* UnexplainedRecovery: He drives the truck containing his fear toxin into Gotham's waters, and all we see left of him was his mask. Yet in the next episode, he's seen fighting Batman no worse for wear. Of course, there's little point dwelling on the subject [[spoiler:given what the Joker does to him afterwards.]]
* YesMan: He effectively serves as this to the Joker. This is best seen during the Legion of Doom meeting, where he constantly heaps praises on the Joker's rather convoluted and unnecessary plan while Harley and to a lesser extent Lex Luthor disagree.
* YourHeadAsplode: [[spoiler:After his head gets melted by the Joker's acid, his body collapses to the floor and causes his skull to shatter into a bloody paste.]]

[[folder:Black Manta]]
!!Black Manta (David)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PhilLaMarr
----
* ArchEnemy: To Aquaman, to the point where he is annoyed that Aquaman crashing a party held by the Legion of Doom has nothing to do with him.
* VillainOfAnotherStory: Is Aquaman's archenemy, but Aquaman isn't interested in fighting him when he appears.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Calendar Man]]
!!Calendar Man (Julian Day)
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk
A supervillain obsessed with committing crimes on holiday and specific dates.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Isn't smug and creepy like his serial killer portrayal in recent works.
* AffablyEvil: Despite being a dangerous killer and supervillain who gleefully participates in the Arkham riot, Calendar Man is nothing less than polite and pleasant when interacting with his fellow inmates. Furthermore, he has a wife and son who, despite his neglectful tendencies, seem to be close enough to him to not only visit him, but bring him gifts.
* BaldOfEvil: Known for his shaved head covered in number tattoos.
* DisappearedDad: He's not involved enough in his son's life to remember his birthday.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite not being very involved in their lives, his wife and son do seem to care for him.
* FatBastard: He's an obese villain.
* {{Irony}}: He's renowned for keeping dates yet he can't remember his own son’s birthday.
* LudicrousPrecision: Due to his obsession with dates, he can remember exactly how long Harley has been in Arkham with stunning accuracy (but, again, can't remember his son's birthday).
* TattooedCrook: He has the abbreviations for months of the year tattooed around his forehead.
[[/folder]]

!!!Injustice League
A group made of Two-Face, Bane, the Riddler, the Penguin and Mr. Freeze to take over Gotham in Season 2.

[[folder:In General]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: The Injustice League collectively serve as the main antagonists of the first half of Season 2. [[spoiler:Later on the Riddler teams up with Dr. Psycho to serve as the villains of the second half of the season.]]
* DwindlingParty: By episode 7, Penguin is killed off relatively early, Riddler is captured by Harley's crew, Mr. Freeze sacrifices himself for his wife, Two-Face is arrested by Gordon, and Bane was last seen stuck in a pit.
* LegionOfDoom: Albeit a smaller version, made up of only Gotham villains.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Two-Face]]
!!ComicBook/TwoFace (Harvey Dent)
->'''Voiced by:''' Andy Daly
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: On top of bearing none of the sympathetic qualities that made him a TragicVillain in the comics, this version of Dent is an extremely arrogant politician who is a SlaveToPR, willing to endanger hostages just to protect his political career.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Unlike most depictions of Two-Face in comics and other media, Dent seems to lack the SplitPersonality that caused him to become Two-Face in the first place. [[spoiler:His moniker was implied to be based upon Harley's insult at him for being a two-faced politician.]] Also, only once does his trademark two-headed coin ever appear.
* AdaptationalUgliness: Looks more thuggish on ''both'' sides.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His left half is a pale aquamarine color.
* AscendedExtra: He is little more than a {{mook}} for the Joker in one episode in Season 1. In Season 2, he becomes a founding member of the Injustice League, and becomes the de-facto leader once the Penguin and Mr. Freeze are killed and the Riddler is taken prisoner.
* BaldOfEvil: He's bald on the left half of his head.
* BrokenPedestal: When Harley first became a psychiatrist at Arkham, she looked up to Dent for his reputation as an honest politician. However, when Dent was willing to let a sniper shoot Harley to get at the Joker so he could protect his reputation, Harley gives Dent a SpitefulSpit and a "two-faced" crook.
* BullyingTheDragon: Despite the fact that Bane could easily snap him like a twig, he still bullies and heckles him at almost every turn.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Harley offhandedly remarks that Two-Face is blind in his left eye, something that is either implied or never brought up in previous adaptations[[note]]in fact, it's the Harley-centric graphic novel ''Comicbook/{{Harleen}}'' that touches upon the issue, by showing that Harvey's sight is damaged on the left eye due to it being bloodshot[[/note]].
* DueToTheDead: After [[spoiler:Mr. Freeze's death]], he keeps his seat open in his memory.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He agrees with the Scarecrow that the Joker's treatment of Bane is too harsh. [[{{Hypocrite}} Hypocritical]], considering how his own treatment of Bane is NotSoDifferent.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Two-Face is quite adept at faking friendliness to talk people into his way of thinking. [[EvilLawyerJoke Well, he was once a lawyer]].
* GunsAkimbo: He wields two guns simultaneously as part of his "duality" aesthetic.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Even before he got disfigured and became Two-Face he was still a {{Slimeball}} who cared about nothing but his own self advancement.
* ManipulativeBastard : Plays Bane, Gordon and Harley with ease, never losing his cool while pushing them in the direction he wants them to go.
* MythologyGag: His attitude back as the DA and Harley's past view of him are much in line with Creator/DCBlackLabel's story ''ComicBook/{{Harleen}}''.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:To his credit, he did leave Mr. Freeze's seat open in memoriam of his death.]]
* SlaveToPR: When he was still Harvey Dent, he ordered a sniper to shoot the Joker even when he took [[ShootTheHostage Harley as a hostage]], being more concerned about his PR at risk for letting the Joker escape.
* SleazyPolitician: When he was still Harvey Dent, he was the classic two-faced politician willing to kill complete innocents rather than risk losing popularity with the voters.
* StealthPun : This version of the character is very litterally two-faced.
* TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: While still Harvey Dent, while watching Batman kick the shit out of the Joker for bringing up his murder of Jason Todd, he starts munching on licorice and asks if anyone wants some.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In "A High Bar" he seemed to enjoy Harley’s company and thinks the Joker’s treatment of Bane and other supervillains is harsh and clearly disagrees with it. Season 2 goes pretty much the opposite route, depicting him as a sleazy, manipulative misogynist who goes out of his way to bully Bane and loathes Harley with a passion.

[[folder:Bane]]
!!ComicBook/{{Bane}}
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_bane.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' James Adomian
A villain hyped up on Venom, which gives him SuperStrength.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In terms of sheer strength, he is much stronger than his comic counterpart, overpowering Batman when he is using a suit of PoweredArmor.
* AdaptationalDumbass: Far from the calculating genius Bane was in the comics, this Bane is a childish oaf.
* AdaptationalWimp: At least in terms of spirit. This Bane is '''far''' more spineless than other portrayals, being a ButtMonkey, a BullyMagnet, and an ExtremeDoormat who constantly gets made fun of by other villains, gets no respect from them, and just lets them mistreat him. This is ''not'' how other villains treat Bane in the comics or most other portrayals, and if anyone ''were'' to mistreat him the way he is in this show, he would snap their spine in an instant.
* AffablyEvil: For a ruthless villain, he's a rather pleasant and polite fellow. It's telling that he actually gets invited to Ivy's wedding, even though he helped put Harley on ice.
* BadBoss: When [[spoiler: King Shark]] takes too long to plant a bomb, Bane remotely detonates it, not caring that he grievously wounded his henchman.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He steps on defenseless fishes just to be an asshole to Aquaman.
* BerserkButton: After all the disrespect that gets heaped on him, what ends up really setting him off in a deadly rampage is realizing that a colleague blatantly lied to him.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's shown to be surprisingly affable with his fellow villains, but his answer to anything or anyone that mildly offends him is to try to blow them up.
* BullyMagnet: Every other villain goes out of their way to bully and insult Bane. His fellow members of the Injustice League continually mock him and [[EvilIsPetty give him a cheap chair to sit on because it looks funny.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: In spite of his dim and genial demeanor, Bane is surprisingly competent at a large number of fields. He manages to run one of the most successful gangs in Gotham, crushes Batman in combat, and turned the Pit into a highly successful prisoner-reform center.
* ButtMonkey: Despite his status in the Legion of Doom, he is still a StrawLoser who gets no respect.
* ChewingTheScenery: During a KangarooCourt trial involving Harley and Ivy.
-->"I sentence them to liiiiiiife....in prison off course."
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The Joker tells him that Harley has HPV. Bane isn't sure how this matters, because he's pretty sure most sexually active adults have it.
* CompositeCharacter: Combines the classic Venom-using Bane with the ComicallySerious Bane from ''ComicBook/SecretSix'', with an exaggerated love of explosions and Tom Hardy's voice from ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''.
* CowardlyLion: Bane takes a lot of crap from other villains who don't take him seriously. Yet when he actually gets into a fight in "Batman's Back, Man" he turns out be powerful enough to inflict a CurbStompBattle on Batman.
* CurbStompBattle: Faces Batman in "Batman's Back, Man." While Batman has a suit of PoweredArmor, Bane destroys him when he goes all out on Venom, leaves the suit so damaged it cannot operate, and leaves Batman with both his knees broken.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Blew up Gotham stadium because he got a Trivia Night question wrong, and then threatens to blow up the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah because Harley and the other villains made fun of him. As the series progresses, he threatens to blow up pretty much anything that mildly offends him.
* DoWrongRight: His reaction to Joshua putting a hit out on Harley using a Legion of Doom credit card is indignant scolding. Why? Because he left a paper trail by using the credit card (along with using it for frivolous purchases), rather than using cash.
* DumbassHasAPoint: He suggests that he and Two-Face team up to better prepare for Harley attempting to kill them, which Two-Face only begrudgingly does while making every effort to minimize him.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite locking Harley and Ivy in a high-security prison and generally antagonizing them for a whole season, he gets invited to Ivy and Kite Man's wedding.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all his faults, he mentions having a close relationship with his aunt.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's quite offended when the Joker badmouths the Penguin's nephew's bar mitzvah, recognizing the occasion as an important milestone.
* EvilBrit: Speaks with the quasi-British accent made famous by Creator/TomHardy's portrayal of the character. This is somewhat confusing, as it becomes evident later that this Bane is also Latino, like in WesternAnimation/YoungJustice, [[spoiler:if the calavera-bearing papel picado strung about his slice of Gotham is anything to go by.]]
* EvilIsPetty: Pretty much any minor embarrassment Bane suffers -- losing a bar trivia game, being laughed at at a bar mitzvah, having a teenage employee call him "Bang" when he's a regular customer at the smoothie place -- will spur him to plan to blow up the target of his wrath.
* ExpressiveMask: His goggles and stitched up mouth move to display emotion.
* ExtremeDoormat: He's constantly letting other villains walk all over him and humiliate him even though he could easily break their bones if he let himself get angry.
* {{Foil}}: To Harley of all people. Like Harley, Bane isn't treated with any respect by his supervillain peers. Two-Face's treatment of Bane, in particular, is very similar to how the Joker manipulated Harley into being subservient to him. Unlike Harley, who eventually wises up and breaks from the Joker's control and abuse, Bane remains completely oblivious to the fact that Two-Face doesn't regard him as an equal even as the evidence is right in front of him.
* HiddenDepths: He seems to have a gift for therapy, since, despite having limited resources, he was significantly more successful in rehabilitating criminals than Arkham Asylum ever was.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: In Season 2, his territory of Banetown is pronounced "Bane-ton", which no one can seem to get right (or care to).
* LaughablyEvil: While Bane is still a villain, most of his antics are relegated to petty acts which still befits the BlackComedy nature of the show.
* MadBomber: He likes explosions a lot and his standard answer to anything that annoys him is wanting to blow it up.
* MythologyGag:
** His design is taken directly from his Videogame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs depiction, with his venom tubes changed from green to red.
** Similarly, pretty much every time we see him, Bane is constantly quoting ''The Dark Knight Rises'' in paraphrased wording. And of course, his voice is an exaggerated impression of Tom Hardy's Bane from that movie.
* NerdInEvilsHelmet: Drinks smoothies, tries to do magic tricks, cracks somewhat lame jokes, plays bar trivia, and wishes Pixar would make a sequel to ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''.
* NiceGuy: Oddly enough, he's one of the nicest characters in the series thus far. He also seems to be the only one outside of her crew that treats Harley with respect, such as suggesting the newly formed Injustice League include her in negotiations on divying up Gotham rather than just hanging her up to dry (all the other villains yell at him and go ahead with their plans).
* NoRespectGuy: Even though he's shown to be quite a formidable villain as seen with his battle with Batman, his fellow villains don't treat him with any respect.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain:
** Despite being treated as DumbMuscle and a joke by his fellow villains, he or at the very least his goons are treated as TheDreaded by the other villains' goons on account of Bane supplying them with syringes of Venom. When Two-Face's gang pursued King Shark and Dr. Psycho, they quickly turned about once they entered 'Baneton'.
** When he finally gets into a fight with Batman in "Batman's Back, Man" he shows that he is still one of his most dangerous enemies, easily defeating him and breaking both of his legs.
* ParentalSubstitute: Acts as this to the Penguin's nephew, Joshua.
* PointyHairedBoss: He's a pretty affable supervillain, but "A Seat at the Table" shows that he's a pretty idiotic boss, so much so that Harley's crew begs her to get them out of his employment.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: Downplayed, but he mentions making a point to be supportive of his lesbian aunt.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Played with. When he makes a joke about the ocean being "the world's toilet" that flops, he mutters that political correctness is killing comedy, and he calls the guy at the smoothie place a "goddamn millennial". However, he's neither a bigot nor a sexist, and it mostly just makes him seem like more of a dweeb than an outright jerk.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Subverted - Bane ''wants'' to be this, but a combination of [[NoRespectGuy his 'allies' disrespect for him,]] his temper, insecurities, and willingness to destroy anything that irritates him, no matter the absurdity make this impossible.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Or in this case, [[GlowingEyesOfDoom green]]. Upon pumping himself full of venom, his red lenses on his mask turn a sinister green.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: [[spoiler:He survived the events of Season 1 because he was out of town dog-sitting for his aunt's girlfriend at the time, which is more explanation than his fellow Legion members get.]]
* SelfReferentialHumor: More so than any other character in the show, Bane is a walking quotes machine for the portion of ''The Dark Knight Rises'' parody he represents; throughout his appearances Bane finds a way to incorporate many of the memorable lines from Tom Hardy’s version of the character into his own dialogue.
* StraightEdgeEvil: "There's No Place to Go But Down" shows that Bane is all about channeling unproductive impulses into productive and healthy endeavors.
* SuperMode: The already huge Bane gets bigger when he uses the venom formula.
* VocalDissonance: He has a surprisingly soft voice for a hulking giant.
* WarriorTherapist: He spends his time rehabilitating prisoners in The Pit, through different kinds of therapy.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Not surprisingly, given his ''lucha libre'' theme, Bane's fighting style is based in wrestling.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: It's quasi-british, parodying the accent used by Tom Hardy from ''The Dark Knight Rises'', but his heritage is Latino so it makes very little sense.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Get him mad and upset enough, he'll go berserk. Batman himself learned this the hard way, while Two-Face did his best to keep him calm.

[[folder:The Riddler]]
!!ComicBook/TheRiddler (Edward Nygma)
->'''Voiced by:''' Jim Rash
Gotham's "funniest villain" known for his riddle based crimes.
----
* BadassInANiceSuit: He's a notorious villain in a snazzy suit with a DastardlyDapperDerby.
* BaldOfEvil: This Riddler has a shaved head.
* BigBadDuumvirate: As one of the members of the Injustice League he serves this role in the first half of the Season. [[spoiler:After Dr. Psycho leaves Harley's team he forms a new partnership with him for the second half of the season.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Being One of the smartest villains in Gotham, it's not at all surprising that Riddler has a dry wit to go along with it. Especially notable when he's around Psycho.
* EvilVersusEvil: While always a supervillain, Season 2 sees him directly oppose Harley as part of the Injustice League.
* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: A flashback to Harley's time at Arkham shows him brushing a long black mane, only to gasp in horror when he finds several strands embedded in the brush, suggesting he's either gone totally bald since or now shaves his head to cover up an unflattering hairline.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Male example. His workout regime as a prisoner of Harley's crew makes him ''incredibly'' jacked, and it becomes a RunningGag for people (both male and female) to break off their train of thought when they get a look at his perfect musculature.
* MythologyGag: He sported long black hair prior to his BaldOfEvil appearance, similar to the Music/MarilynManson-inspired Riddler from ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He finds Clayface so obnoxious that he spoils his own riddle just to make Clayface stop talking.
* PlayAlongPrisoner: [[spoiler: After being captured in Season Two and made to power Harley's lair with a giant hamster wheel, he says he's okay with it because he is getting well-fed, plenty of exercise, and it's entertaining watching Harley's crew struggle to get on top. He also makes it very clear he can escape at anytime he feels like it]]. [[spoiler: By episode 10 he's done just that albeit with the help of Dr. Psycho.]]
* PragmaticVillainy: He joins the Injustice League in Season 2 to avoid fighting over the remains of New New Gotham. [[spoiler: He refuses to escape his prison because being a prisoner gives him the best chance of surviving the New New Gotham wasteland, not only that, Harley's crew provides him with shelter, food, water, plenty of exercise, and finds pleasure in watching the Quinn crew struggle for survival.]]
* RiddleMeThis: [[TropeNamer But of course]]; his crimes are centered around riddles that he leaves heroes to solve to give them a chance of stopping him... or as the Joker puts it:
-->'''The Joker:''' His gimmick is being the world's most indirect asshole!
* TheRival: The Joker sees him as a rival villain, especially since the Riddler seems to be stealing his gimmick in the first episode.
* TattooedCrook: He has a question mark tattooed on his forehead.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Thanks to the non-stop exercise that came from powering Harley's lair via a giant hamster wheel, he's become an actually physically imposing threat (and seriously ripped) upon being freed by Dr. Psycho in ''Dye Hard''.]]
* VillainousFriendship: He helps Poison Ivy in her elaborate plan to help Harley realize that the Joker doesn't really love her in exchange for her getting him out of Arkham. A throwaway line from Ivy about owing Riddler money over a bet, when she was still extremely mysanthropic indicated that they were at least on speaking-terms with each other. Subverted, big time, later on, when they are on opposite sides.

[[folder:The Penguin]]
!!ComicBook/ThePenguin (Oswald Cobblepot)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WayneKnight
----
* AdaptationalDiversity: The Penguin normally strongly identifies as a sophisticated, upper-class WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant. In this continutity, however, he is Jewish.
* BadBoss: He casually kills one of his employees for saying hi to him, because several already did that and he felt it was disingenuous if said too many times. When Clayface disguises himself as a waiter and tells the Penguin he killed the last one, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday he doesn't even question it]].
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Deconstructed. He kills employees so often that when a transformed Clayface replaces the real waiter, he instantly believes the story that he killed Jeffery despite knowing the guy by name and Clayface's nervous hesitation. His casual dismissal that it " Does sound like [me]" shows how he can't fact check something that should be important.
* DeathByDisfigurement: [[spoiler: Harley bites off his nose, leaving a gaping, bloody hole in its place. He dies not long after.]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: He applauds Harley when she defeats Aquaman and seems to have forgiven her for ruining his nephew's bar mitzvah. This doesn't stop him from becoming Harley's enemy in Season 2 when she rejects his offer to work with the Injustice League.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He at least cares enough about his nephew to throw him a lavish bar mitzvah.
* HighClassGlass: He's got his usual monocle, but here it's tinted a dark gray color.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Harley stabs him in the neck with her broken bat and rams it all the way through the top of his skull.]]
* ImprobableAimingSkills: He's able to shoot a running Harley with a tranquilizer dart, and later shoot a bullet down the barrel of Harley's gun to destroy it. The calm with which he does the latter indicates that he pulls this kind of thing off with some regularity.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Harley kills him in the first episode of Season 2 after her crew rescues her from her kidnapping.]]
* KosherNostra: He says he decided to become a crime lord during his own Bar Mitzvah.
* NasalTrauma: [[spoiler: Harley bites off his nose in the Season 2 premiere.]]
* NiceHat: It wouldn't be the Penguin without a snazzy topper. He even gives an identical hat to Joshua to symbolize how he'll pass his criminal enterprise down to him.
* {{Nepotism}}: He's trying to get his nephew involved in organized crime.
* PunchClockVillain: Sees being a crime lord as a vocation.
* SinisterSchnoz: Like his comics counterpart, he has a long, thin, nose. In Season 2, Harley bites it off.
* StarterVillain: For Season 2, being the first member of the newly-formed Injustice League that Harley has to get rid of in her quest to take over Gotham.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: [[spoiler:He thinks Harley is an easy kill after her bat gets broken. Unfortunately for him, what he calls a "defrosted gymnast" has an easy time dodging his grenade launcher; Harley has the fight won as soon as he loses sight of her in the aftermath.]]
* WickedPretentious: As is usual for the character, he's a violent thug who wears fancy clothes and runs an upscale nightclub.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mister Freeze]]
!!Mister Freeze (Victor Fries)
[[quoteright:298:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_freeze.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlfredMolina
A former cryogenics scientist trapped within his own technology and uses ice and cold as his motif. Appears in Season 2.
----
* AccentAdaptation: Creator/AlfredMolina, an English actor, uses a Russian accent to play this version of Mr. Freeze.
* ActOfTrueLove: [[spoiler:Witnessing Mister Freeze willingly giving up all his blood to save his terminally ill wife is what makes Harley realize what true love is about.]]
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Victor is usually depicted as a geeky-looking, bald man. Here, he has a muscular build, chiseled jawline, and a snazzy mohawk.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Before he went supervillain, Victor was a wealthy and powerful CEO rather than a white-collar scientist.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While other versions of Mister Freeze have been sympathetic, they were typically portrayed as [[{{Pun}} cold]] and anti-social. This interpretation however is outright hospitable, offering meals to Harley and her crew even when they tried to kill him.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: As noted above, most incarnations of Mister Freeze are [[TinMan outwardly]] [[TheStoic cold and emotionless]] while this version is much more friendly and personable.
* AffablyEvil: Freeze is not beyond reason and can be downright pleasant, so long as your death will not help him cure Nora, or you do not stand in his way of curing her.
* AndIMustScream: He describes his life trapped inside the cryosuit as "god forsaken" and something he only [[DrivenToSuicide put up with]] to save find a way to save Nora.
* AntiVillain: His sympathetic motivations, AffablyEvil manners and the HeroicSacrifice he pulls at the end of "Thawing Hearts" put him into this territory.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He shows Harley's crew the alarming amount of snow rats that have died because of his failed experiments to find a cure for Nora.
* BaitAndSwitch: The show plays with idea that Freeze might just be a lunatic deluding himself that Nora is his wife, going in hand with the New 52 comics retcon. She's frozen with an expression of horror, has a feeding tube leading into her mouth, and Freeze speaks as if she's still conscious. Harley projects her own issues with the Joker onto him, believing he destroyed Nora's life. However, in the end, the show sticks with the infinitely more popular backstory of Freeze and Nora being deeply in love with each other, with Freeze as his most sympathetic version.
* CastingGag: As Freeze here is like the ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries BTAS]]'' version, then this won't be the first time Molina has played [[Film/SpiderMan2 a supervillain scientist who lost his wife.]]
* ComicallySerious: Given the nature of the wackey situations he is in, it's impossible for him not to be this.
* CrazyPrepared: When [[NoMisterBondIExpectYouToDine having lunch with Harley's crew]] he has them frozen to their chairs to keep them from trying anything.
* CurbStompBattle: Easily defeats Harley's crew with his freezing gun. When Harley makes an attempt at fighting him again, it ends with her getting frozen again.
* DitzyGenius: He blows open the Penguin's door because he couldn't push it open... only for the Penguin to explain the door is ''pulled'' open.
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: As he lies dying as a result of Ivy's cure for Nora's disease, his final words are to encourage Nora to live a happy life.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: There is no way to stress this enough: Nora is ''everything'' to Victor.
* TheGhost: In Season 1, he's mentioned by a realtor showing his former lair to Harley and Ivy, and the place definitely had his custom renovations style.
* HappilyMarried: Victor and Nora adore and respect one another completely.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Takes Ivy's drug that will convert his blood to Nora's, even though it will kill him, all in the name of saving Nora's life. Even Doctor Psycho is moved to tears by this.]]
* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:His act of giving his life to save his wife has shades of this.]] By his own admission, he views his life inside the cryo-suit as a form of hell, and he only tolerates it so he can live long enough to save Nora. [[spoiler: It is possible that he finds the fact that the transfusion will kill him a good thing]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler: With his last breaths, he encourages Nora to move on from his death and find happiness.]]
* JustifiedCriminal: He participates in organized crime to gather the funding necessary to research a cure for his wife's illness.
* LivingOnBorrowedTime: He needs to live inside a cryo-suit so he can extend his lifespan and continue the research needed to find a cure for Nora.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: The whole motive of his villainy is finding a cure for his dying wife.
* MythologyGag: Closed captioning labels Freeze's accent as German ([[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent despite it sounding more Russian]]). In live-action, Freeze was played by two Austrians, Creator/OttoPreminger and Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, with their own accents, and by the British Creator/GeorgeSanders and American Creator/EliWallach both doing German accents. Mr. Freeze just having an accent must itself be the gag.
* NobleDemon: He is willing to become a criminal to fund his research, but there are still lines he won't cross. [[spoiler:It's revealed that he froze Harley to placate the rest of the Injustice League, who were actually planning to kill her.]]
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: He and "[[HumanPopsicle Nora]]" host a dinner for Harley and crew as a show of good faith. It's just as disturbing as you might imagine.
* NotSoDifferent: He isn't a crime boss, he just wants to save his wife... with funds he must get from organized crime.
* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: PlayedForLaughs. He froze Harley to save her life, and acknowledged in disgust that his fellow crime lords loved it due to being white, cis-gendered, heterosexual men who wanted to make a woman an object of mockery. King Shark soon calls out Harley for attacking the most "woke" villain in New Gotham.
* SenseLossSadness: He can no longer eat cooked food as it would fatally raise his body temperature and he asks Dr. Psycho to describe what it's like to eat a piece of steak during dinner.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:After Harley accidentally condemns Nora to die by freeing her from her ice prison, Mister Freeze threatens to blow himself up along with everyone present unless Harley can get Ivy to find a cure for her.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: It's revealed in "Thawing Hearts" that he only froze Harley because the alternative was the Injustice League killing her, and his goals are more sympathetic than the other four.
* UnusualEyebrows: His eyebrows are long and kinked.
* WouldHitAGirl: Knocks out Harley with her own bat; justified since she attacked him twice before that, and considering how "woke" he is, it’s more than likely Mr. Freeze is pretty egalitarian. (He also needed a test subject for an experiment and unconscious subjects are easier to handle.)
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has a blue mohawk.

[[folder:Kite Man]]
!!Kite Man (Charles Brown)
-> '''Voiced by:''' Matt Oberg
A perverted loser supervillain who uses a giant kite to commit crimes. In spite of his silliness and questionable competence, he displays a surprising level of emotional intelligence.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: He's one big goof and a sorry excuse of a supervillain, but he's a sweet guy.
* AffablyEvil: While he's supposed to be a villain like most of the cast, but he is an all round decent guy. He doesn't even count as 'evil' because [[HarmlessVillain he never does anything bad]].
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He falls in love with Ivy because she's the only person who has recognized his good qualities enough to give him a chance and stand up for him.
* BettyAndVeronica: [[spoiler:In Season 2, Ivy is torn between her feelings for her friend Harley and her fiancé Kite Man. Kite Man is the Betty because he's pleasant, stable and dorky, making him the "safer" relationship option next to the crazy Harley. He ends up as the loser.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: He is nice and forgiving despite being a villain but he finally reaches his breaking point after Gordon ruins the wedding. Even though he's angry with Ivy, he's merciful enough to end the relationship for Ivy since she doesn't want to be with him. He still leaves her and Harley behind for the police but he knows they're both capable of escaping the police.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: His ability to fly allows him to save people when need be. First time being when he saves Ivy, Harley and her crew from a cyclops through flight and squirting hot sauce in said cyclops' eye.
* ButtMonkey: He's always abused or humiliated in some way but he seemingly takes it in stride and Ivy does know he means well when he helps out.
* CasanovaWannabe: He thinks he's a smooth-talking ladies' man, but he's just a perverted idiot. He admits later in his debut he's not too good with women. It's when he drops the act that Ivy shows interest in him.
* CatchPhrase: "Hell yeah."
* ChivalrousPervert: As he says so himself, he cares about what Ivy thinks as much as he cares about her ass.
* CoolLoser: He's a bottom tier supervillain no one takes seriously, but as Ivy says, he has a level of confidence to be admired.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Towards Poison Ivy, who initially sees him as a joke like everyone else. Once she realizes he can be nice to be around, she starts giving in to his advances. He does successfully manage to enter a relationship with Ivy some time before "The Line", but Ivy displays some embarrassment towards how open he is about their relationship.
* DumbassHasAPoint: While he's not dumb per say, he himself says he's simple/ However, he's no fool as he makes it known:
** On his first date with Ivy, after he realizes that Ivy is embarrassed to been seen with him and wears extra clothing to conceal her idenity, [[WhatTheHellHero he calls her out for it]].
** In "A Fight Worth Fighting For" he points out that him and Ivy getting married before stopping the army of Parademons is a bad idea. Ivy surprisingly ignores his advice.
* ExtremeDoormat: He never stands up for himself when people mock him and treat him like a joke. However, he doesn't let it get to him much.
** It's implied that this is the result of his own parents being condescending of him because [[MuggleBornOfMages he lacks superpowers while his parents have them.]]
** This allow him to mesh well for a bit with Ivy because of her own assertive personality. [[spoiler: Ironically enough, he sticks up for himself against her when he realizes that they're not meant to be together and breaks it off for them.]]
* FemaleFighterMaleHandler: He has this with Ivy. Ivy has control over plant life, decent combat skills and thus a dangerous villainess. Kite Man is a NonActionGuy who doesn't help much, but he can fly and he's quite good at flying with the kite.
* {{Foil}}: To the Joker. He's a D-Class villain while the Joker is TheDreaded, but unlike the Joker who is known to be abusive to Harley and doesn't care about what she feels, Kite Man truly ''cares'' about Ivy and treats her with respect. Also, the Joker is shown to have insecurity issues and hates it when people mock him, while Kite Man is looked upon as a loser but has enough self-confidence to brush it off.
* FreudianExcuse: ''Possibly.'' While his self-confidence is genuine, one gets the feeling that his earlier act and social awkwardness is the result of his parents' verbal abuse toward him.
* GracefulInTheirElement: Say what you will about him, he ''is'' a good flier and knows how to use his kite well when needed. [[spoiler: Ivy calls Kite Man to save her, Harley, and her crew from a death trap sprung on them by the Queen of Fables. He saves them ''magnificently''. He later saves Harley from death.]]
* GreenAndMean: Downplayed. His outfit is green and he's a villain but is very nice and friendly.
* HarmlessVillain: Much like in the comics, he's not taken seriously as a villain in the slightest and is seen as a joke by pretty much every other supervillain.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Even though it's conditional, he can still ''fly'' and has used it to pull off some impressive stunts (including saving Harley's crew plus Ivy from a ''cyclops''). In Season 2 it is the most useful transportation Harley and Ivy can find.
* HiddenDepths:
** At first he tries being a womanizer but to no avail as Ivy is put off by his perversion and inability to take a hint. When he decides to drop this and starts interacting with Ivy with no ulterior motive, Ivy starts becoming interested in him and the two start dating. Through Kite Man, Ivy starts coming further out of her shell and Kite Man learns that being himself is enough to win someone over.
** Season 2 reveals that he knows Morse-Code, which comes in handy when translating for [[spoiler: Sy's cybernetic eye]]
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: He never officially joins Harley's crew, but since he's dating Ivy, he does go out of his way to give them a ride and saves their lives at least once.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:There are definitely some [[YourCheatingHeart sour]] [[WeddingSmashers feelings]] motivating his decision to break off his engagement with Ivy, but it is partially because he realizes that Ivy's heart belongs to Harley rather than him. He tells her upfront that he isn't the person for her.]]
* InformedLoner: Zigzagged. He is portrayed as an outcast who everyone treats as a joke, but not many characters actually mock him as such, and he still gets invited to villain parties and is able to convince random bar goons to work jobs for him. However, this is to demonstrate that even someone as pathetic as Kite Man gets more respect in the villain community than Harley, thus his JokeCharacter status [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools is used to draw attention to a major theme of the series]].
* InLoveWithLove: Both he and Ivy have shades of this to each other. From his end, his hurry to marry her before she's completely ready is more motivated by a fear of not being able to find another woman who actually likes him so much ''and'' is as cool as Ivy. However, [[spoiler: he does break it off through a combination of realizing they're not meant for each other and that he deserves better.]]
* MeaningfulName: His real name is Charles Brown... yes, just like the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' comic strip character. Much like his namesake, he gets no respect from his peers and also has a crush on a red-haired girl. Furthermore, his kite-theme is a reference to how the comic strip character would get his kites stuck in the infamous "kite-eating tree". Kite Man's red-haired girlfriend can ''control'' trees.
* MuggleBornOfMages: His father and mother have ice powers and the ability to fly, respectively. Both were disappointed when Kite-Man had no powers.
* NeverBareheaded: Even the time he thought (wrongly) that Ivy was going to have sex with him, he stripped off everything but kept on the mask.
* NiceGuy: Perverted tendencies and attempted villainy aside, he's actually a pretty decent guy, even sorta befriending Ivy by the end of his debut and then the two becoming a couple a few episodes later.
* NonActionGuy: Probably the only supervillain in the show who can't fight at all.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Despite being a supposed supervillain, he is never actually seen doing anything evil during the series proper. If he weren't hanging out with villains, it would be a stretch to call him one at all.
* PrinceCharmingWannabe: He can't seem to take the hint that Ivy doesn't want to sleep with him, at least until she declines after he literally jumps into her bed naked.
* RomanticFalseLead: [[spoiler:Kite Man's role as Ivy's fiancé is to create drama when Harley realizes she's in love with Ivy and have Ivy reject Harley despite clearly loving her back because she isn't steady like Kite Man. After Kite Man finds out Ivy cheated on him with Harley and then Gordon ruins their wedding, Kite Man breaks down crying because he realizes he and Ivy were never meant to be. He coldly but mercifully breaks off the engagement and tells Ivy that she doesn't want to be with him and he deserves someone better. Harley and Ivy hook up minutes later.]]
* RomanticRunnerUp: After Kite Man stops trying to get into bed with Ivy, she discovers he's a friendly, pleasant, dorky, if somewhat pushy guy and she comes to feel attracted to him enough to agree dating him. In Season 2, they get engaged, [[spoiler:but a few episodes later, Ivy starts an affair with Harley in some heated moments. At their wedding, Kite Man realizes Ivy is just forcing herself to choose him to run away from her feelings for Harley. Kite Man then calls off the wedding because going through with it is too unfair for the three of them.]]
* SatelliteLoveInterest: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Kite Man does have some defined characterization, his role and participation in all episodes he appears in are focused on his romantic relationship with Ivy. Whenever he helps Harley's crew, it's to do Ivy a favor.
* SmallNameBigEgo: His "powers" are pretty pathetic, to say the least, but he seems to think they’re a ''lot'' cooler than they actually are. Ironically, his absolute confidence in himself is something that Poison Ivy considers attractive.
* SweetAndSourGrapes: He manages to conquer Ivy when he decides to stop acting like a Casanova.
* UndyingLoyalty: After [[spoiler:Ivy is apparently killed by the Joker]], Kite Man refuses to leave the side of her grave for weeks. Subverted in the season 2 finale, [[spoiler: where he leaves Ivy to fight the cops by herself, after finally getting fed up with her and Harley's shenanigans.]]
* UselessSuperpowers: He openly admits that taking a cab would be faster than a kite.
** Subverted in Season 2, where his kite is Harley and Ivy's main mode of transport, and his ability to fly over the ruined Gotham is increasingly important.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The only villain whose crimes are weather-dependent.

[[folder:Giganta]]
!!Giganta (Doris Zeul)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/VanessaMarshall
----
* CastingGag: A traditional nemesis of Wonder Woman, she shares her voice actress in this show.
* TheFaceless: Her first appearance has her so tall, her face is out of shot the entire scene. Her face is revealed in her second appearance.
* GiantWoman: True to form, she is extremely tall.
* JerkAss: Openly refers to Ivy as a "jolly green whore" as she's [[ImStandingRightHere standing right there]].
* MindRape: Doctor Psycho uses mind control to make her love him, marry him, and have their child. During a talk show interview, she snaps out of it and calls him out on it.
* TakingTheKids: After snapping out of his mind control, she leaves Doctor Psycho and takes their son Herman with her.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's a GiantWoman who was married to the DepravedDwarf Doctor Psycho, though not by choice.

[[folder:The Queen of Fables]]
!!Queen of Fables (Tsaritsa)
->'''Voiced by:''' Wanda Sykes
A sorceress with the power to conjure living versions of fables.
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Unlike her comics counterpart, she harbors no delusions about Wonder Woman being Snow White or Superman being Prince Charming.
* AdaptationalJerkass ''and'' AdaptationalNiceGuy: Yes, both at once. On the one hand, she's far more personable than her comics counterpart, but on the other, she's [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking an unrepentant mass-murderer, blames being trapped in a tax book on her being a villainess trying to be as good as her male contemporaries, and is pretty snarky in general.]]
* AdaptationalWimp: To a degree. In the comics, the Queen of Fables is an otherworldly force of fiction made real who - as long as there is imagination - can warp all of reality to her whims. In this series, she appears to be a (comparatively) normal human witch who uses a spell that is limited to bringing fictional characters to life.
* AmbitionisEvil: In her view, to be the top villain you have to cross all moral boundaries.
* AndIMustScream: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Although, she was trapped in a book for 30 years, she was still able to semi-function in society.
* AnimateInanimateObject: She was sealed inside a copy of the U.S. Master Tax Guide by Zatanna, but can still talk (and smoke). She's freed in "[[Recap/HarleyQuinn2019S1E7TheLine The Line]]" when it's deemed cruel and unusual punishment by a court.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Given that the Justice League deemed her dangerous enough to seal her into a book rather than just shipping her off to Arkham, and [[EvenEvilHasStandards even other villains find her brutal methods repulsive]], no one mourned her when Harley knocked her head off her shoulders.]]
* AxCrazy: Considering her go-to solution to every problem is killing everyone in her immediate vicinity in an incredibly gory fashion, she's definitely this.
* BadBoss: She treats her storytale characters like tools.
* BondVillainStupidity: Played with. As a storyteller villain she tries to kill people in a sensational manner, which to be fair no normal people could handle. She sent Harley's crew up the beanstalk to be killed by the giant living there, which would be effective since they couldn't fly back down, [[spoiler: and she didn't count on Kite Man rescuing them all]].
* BrokenPedestal: Harley used to look up to her as a role model, but she's disgusted by the Queen's mass-murdering habits when they team up.
* CardCarryingVillain: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. She uses being a bad guy as an excuse to do ''horrible'' actions and, thanks to her "villains don't give a fuck" mentality, feels absolutely ''no'' remorse for any of it. What's worse, she seems to feel that this level of extremism is ''the only way'' to make it as a villain.
* CoDragons: [[spoiler:She and the Scarecrow become this to the Joker, helping him in his plan to take over Gotham and kill Harley Quinn.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Sees her fate as this, as the male villains have done far worse and just get a stint in Arkham that they'll escape from half the time, while she got stuck in a book permanently. [[UnreliableNarrator Her actions when freed cast a little bit of doubt on how disproportionate it actually was, though.]] Ironically she herself is a big fan of this, advocating for [[MurderIsTheBestSolution ending]] [[LeaveNoWitnesses the bloodline]] to deal with a single witness.
* DissonantSerenity: She maintains her chipper SassyBlackWoman shtick even as she gruesomely murders scores of people in horrifying ways. It's disturbing enough to disgust [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Harley]] when they team up.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: A DefiedTrope. She sees standards as something ''heroes'' have, and that villains "don't give a fuck."
* EvilerThanThou: Implied to be the real reason why she was sealed in a book rather than simply sent to Arkham. Even other supervillains [[spoiler: with the exception of the Joker]] are disturbed by her mass-murders.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: After getting her head knocked off, instead of being furious or breaking down, her decapitated head just mutters a mildly annoyed "Ahh shit".]]
* FalseFriend: Acted as a friend to Harley while she was sealed inside a book. Once freed, she quickly turns on Harley, even though Harley saved her from being sent to Arkham. While the two appeared to be friends when Harley saved her from being killed [[spoiler: the Queen of Fables still sided with the Joker and attempted to kill Harley.]]
* FamousLastWords: "Aw shit!"
* FauxAffablyEvil: Comes of as AffablyEvil at first. When freed from the book she was sealed in, she proves to not only be an unrepetant mass murderer, but she will turn on supposed friends in a heartbeat.
* FedToPigs: Her choice of crime scene cleanup is summoning the Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs. Thank heavens [[GoryDiscretionShot we don't get to see them chowing down]], but the crew does, and it ain't pretty.
* GenreSavvy: As a story-themed villain, she knows all about the conventions of narrative (LeaveNoWitnesses, EverybodyHasStandards, etc).
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Her villain name is the Queen of Fables and '''holy shit''' is she evil and AxCrazy even by regular villain standards.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: She sits back and smokes cigarettes as she lets her Big Bad Wolf massacre an innocent family, and then puts the used cigarettes in the mouth of one of the corpses.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Well, "graceful" might be the wrong term for it, but when Harley outsmarts her and is about to kill her, she says "Props!" with a somewhat impressed tone before getting her head knocked off.]]
* {{Irony}}: She believes she was sealed in a book instead of being sent to Arkham on the grounds that she was a woman. She says this to Harley, who has been locked up in Arkham several times over.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: She intially acts like Harley's friend, but despite Harley saving her from Arkham, she turns on her. Harley saving her life does her no favors [[spoiler: as the Queen of Fables still works with the Joker to murder her and take over Gotham by the end of the season.]]
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After she is released from her prison, she massacres an entire family and then double-crosses Harley's group. Despite this, Harley saves her from being killed by Jason Praxis and lets her go free. [[spoiler: She is eventually killed by Harley when karma finally bites her.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:In "Devil’s Snare", when Harley accidentally decapitates her.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Once released from her tax book prison, she quickly becomes the darkest villain so far.
* LackOfEmpathy: According to her, villains "don't give a fuck" and aren't supposed to. Deconstructed too since she takes it to her own teammates.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler:She seemed more annoyed than hurt when Harley decapitated her.]]
* MundaneUtility:
** Trapped inside a copy of the U.S. tax code, she made the best of a bad situation and opened a tax filing business. She also has one of the gingerbread men doing office work (it was better than turning tricks on the street, according to the gingerbread man).
** She casually murders her own conjuration of Humpty Dumpty so she can make scrambled eggs.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Strongly believes in this trope. Someone (who's at a family reunion) sees you committing a crime? Brutally murder them and the entire family (just to make sure they avoid any revenge scenario).
* OffWithHerHead: [[spoiler:Harley knocks her head off with her bat in "Devil's Snare".]]
* ProperlyParanoid: She murders an entire family to avoid any revenge scenario, and is vindicated when the one Harley spares comes back for revenge just as she predicted. Downplayed in that her killing an entire family just because of one witness could very much be considered as unnecessary.
* RaceLift: She is turned from a white woman to a black woman.
* RealityEnsues:
** She assumes she is free to go after being let out of the tax book, only to be informed that she still has to serve out the rest of her sentence and is being sent to Arkham.
** Most criminals don't find the wanton slaughter of innocents to be an acceptable solution to silencing a single witness. As such, her homicidal tendencies and extremely violent methods absolutely horrify Harley and her crew, who then decide to kick her out.
* SassyBlackWoman: Well, she is voiced by Wanda Sykes. Plus, it presents an appropriately absurd contrast to her initial predicament.
* ShadowArchetype: She is what Harley would be if she didn't have any standards: unfettered and uncaring, flamboyant, selfish and sociopathic, and on good terms with the Joker.
* SealedEvilInACan: The Justice League sealed her in a book after she tried to take over Gotham. Later on, it's suggested it was also because of her excessively violent approach as a super villain.
* TheSociopath: She's heavily implied to be this. Superficially, she's charming and spirited, but is quick to reveal that she has no second thoughts about using mass murder as a solution to literally any problem, and not caring if other criminals are horrified. She has no remorse or conscience, openly calling herself a villain. She also displays a serious lack of empathy; besides not caring for those she murders, she seems unable to realize how her fellow supervillains could be disturbed by her actions or see her actions as rightfully excessive.
* SquishyWizard: She can summon deadly fairy tale creatures, but damage her book and she's rendered defenseless. [[spoiler:And a baseball bat to the back of the head will rip her head off of her shoulders.]]
* SummonMagic: She has the power to summon characters from fairy tales and use them at her command.
* TheUnfettered: HORRIFICALLY so. Even Harley (who entertained the thought of killing Robin) is completely horrified at what the Queen did to that family reunion, only for the Queen to flat-out state that she is a villain and that's what they do. Harley tries to argue EvenEvilHasStandards, only for the Queen to claim "villains don't give a fuck".
* UngratefulBastard: Harley rightfully points out that even though they eventually had a falling out, she still broke Fables out of prison and helped her get back in the villain game when nobody else gave her a chance, charity which Fables repays by trying to screw her over out of pride. Even after Harley ''saves her life,'' she still swears revenge for the hit to her ego.
* UnreliableNarrator: Her description of her fight against the DC Trinity shows them brutally attacking her henchmen. Harley Quinn sees through it, as "there is no way Superman did that". Tsaritsa admits that she's exaggerating "to add flavour." "The Line" reveals that this also applies to how she describes her fate. She states that she was imprisoned solely because she was a female villain trying to take over the world. The moment she's freed, it's revealed she's an unrepentant mass murderer whose scenes of gory destruction disgust [[EvenEvilHasStandards even other supervillains]].
* VillainHasAPoint: When Harley [[EvenEvilHasStandards states she has a line she won't cross]], the Queen of Fables responds that the Legion of Doom has no such standards. Harley's attempts to join the Legion do nothing but prove her point.
** The Justice League's willingness to throw Harley's entire crew into the Phantom Zone over a reasonable (but wrong) hunch with no trial or even much of an argument lends a ''lot'' of credence to her claim that them trapping her in the book was at least an overreaction. This is further vindicated by them being willing to kill Harley's crew while the crew are being mind controlled near the end of season 2 and deciding to banish the mind controlled Ivy to the Phantom Zone ''forever'' instead of retrieving her after [[spoiler:Dr. Psyho is defeated]].
** Her insistence that she needed to kill everyone at the family reunion to prevent any survivors from coming back to get revenge is proven right when Jason Praxis does exactly that.
* WouldHurtAChild: She kills several children in the Praxis family reunion.

[[folder:Maxie Zeus]]
!!Maxie Zeus
->'''Voiced by:''' Will Sasso
A well-known supervillain and motivational speaker who patterns himself after the Greek Gods
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, he has a reputation as a HarmlessVillain with a silly gimmick. Here, he's not only strong enough to beat the stuffing out of Clayface, but also clever enough to see through Clayface's disguise and trick him into blowing his cover. [[spoiler:And in ''The Runaway Bridesmaid'', he can shoot lightning from his hands.]]
* AdaptationalJerkass: While he was always evil, he was never quite as repulsive as shown here.
* AmbiguousSituation: It was not clear at first whether he's just really interested in Greek mythology or if, like in the comics, [[NapoleonDelusion he actually thinks he's the Greek god Zeus]]. Then Clayface posed as his whatif son (who Maxie thought didn't exist since the woman he hooked up with had an abortion), declaring said ''son'' was half-god, then that turned out to be a ruse as mentioned below.
** The ambiguity is ramped up in the second season where he's on Themysceria alongside God of War Ares as a male stripper. And in ''The Runaway Bridesmaid'', [[spoiler:he can shoot lightning from his hands.]]
* AncientGrome: His gimmick is a clear mishmash of Ancient Greek and Roman aesthetics.
* BaldOfEvil: This version of the character is bald.
* BeardOfEvil: As usual, he's got a prominent beard to match his "Greek God" motif.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:He seems genuinely committed to Nora Fries, even protecting her when Ivy and Kite Man's wedding goes awry.]]
* GoingCommando: He's not wearing any underwear under his toga, and he thinks nothing of exposing himself to people.
* HateSink: He's not meant to be likable at all; in addition to not being very well-known in the source material, he's tactless, narcissistic, petty, and a sexual predator.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a self-absorbed, misogynistic creep with zero redeeming qualities.
* LightIsNotGood: He wears a white toga, which gives him a divine appearance and his lair is covered in gold, but make no mistake, he is an overall jerk.
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:Believe it or not, he's this to Nora Fries after Mr. Freeze's death. And from what we've seen, it's a surprisingly committed relationship despite Zeus's promiscuity.]]
* SexForServices: He tries to pressure Harley into having sex with him in exchange for his help in making her a better villain. Of course, she refuses.
* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: He doesn't care if anyone sees his junk and makes no effort to cover himself if his toga goes askew. He even serves as one of the male strippers in Themysceria.
* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler:He can shoot lightning blasts from his hands.]]
* ShrineToSelf: His mansion is full of statues of himself, all nude with their junk on full display.
* STDImmunity: Averted; Harley takes a look at his junk and, since psychiatrists have some medical training, determines that he's got something nasty down there. On seeing a statue of him, Doctor Psycho agrees it looks "disturbing."
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: An odd twist in that the public ''knows'' that he's a villain, but he's well-respected as an entrepreneur and self-help guru in the villain community. Of course, none of them have any idea how depraved he truly is...
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He uses an elbow drop on Clayface and then threatens a piledriver.

[[folder:Catwoman]]
!!ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} (Selina Kyle)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SanaaLathan
Cat-burglar and occasional love-interest of Batman. Appears in Season 2.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: By the time Catwoman formed a trio with Harley and Ivy in the comics, she was by far the most heroic member of the group. Here it's the opposite; she is only out for herself and thinks the other two are foolish for putting so much stock in friendship. She ''does'' however take part in Ivy's bachelorette party, during which she acts nicer.
* AltoVillainess: Adopts a suitably purry villain voice of the sort usually associated with Poison Ivy.
* BrokenPedestal: Ivy idolizes Catwoman as an independent and self-confident villainess. However, by the end of "Trapped" she realizes she doesn't really want to be like her after seeing how uncaring and self-centered the cat burglar really is since Ivy has grown to see the value of having true friends and love in her life. She ''does'' get better when she joins Ivy's bachelorette party.
* CharmPerson: Even Ivy is taken by her charms despite her expressed distrust towards Selina.
* ClassyCatBurglar: Wouldn't be Catwoman if she wasn't this.
* DatingCatwoman: Is happening (or has happened) in this show, if Ivy's comment, "Catwoman says [Batman] waxes ''everything''," is anything to go by.
* FemmeFatale: Uses people to get what she wants.
* TheGhost: Is mentioned by Ivy in an episode in Season 1 before actually appearing in the series.
* GrandfatherClause: Creator/EarthaKitt famously played Catwoman in [[Series/Batman1966 the 60's Batman series]] long before the Internet. It's likely for this that fans have been more accepting of a black Selina Kyle than the usual controversy surrounding adaptational race changes.
* IWorkAlone: As she says, she isn't used to working in a team.
* ImpossibleTheft: She's so good at stealing that she can somehow steal Ivy's jacket while she was wearing it. In the museum, she is able to steal a ring from inside a ring box which is inside someone's pocket.
* KickTheDog: In Season 2's "Trapped", [[spoiler: she ditches Harley, Ivy, and Kite Man after they reach the flamethrower, and swipes the engagement ring Kite Man stole for Ivy just to rub it in]].
* MythologyGag:
** Like [[Creator/EarthaKitt Eartha Kitt's]] version seen in the [[Series/Batman1966 60's TV series]], this version of Selina is black.
** In the finale, she's dating Creator/TimBurton, who was responsible for giving her first [[Film/BatmanReturns on-screen appearence]].
* RaceLift: Like Lex Luthor and the Queen of Fables, Catwoman was made black for this series.
* StickyFingers: Just from her introduction sequence, she effortlessly swipes the jewellery from the patrons of the diner she was eating at, as well as Ivy's jacket.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: She is basically the Queen of Fables' replacement for Season 2, with the role of being the temporary eviler teammate, but does not commit the former's atrocities, making her a downplayed example.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Of the Gotham Sirens trio. While CharacterDevelopment made Harley and Ivy mellow out and show care for the importance of friendship, Catwoman is still a self-serving thief who only teamed up with them out of convenience.
** All of which is pretty ironic, given this dynamic is usually reversed in the comics, with Selina as a NominalHero and sometimes even a TokenGoodTeammate reigning in the more destructive Ivy and Harley.
** FridgeLogic sets in that given how Catwoman has a tendency to [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betray Ivy and Harley to Batman for their "own good"]] in usual continuity, it makes sense that in a show being told from their perspective, Catwoman is instead portrayed as heartless and not caring about their personal struggles for betraying them.

[[folder:Dr. Trap]]
!!Doctor Trap (Larry Trapp)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk
A villain who specializes in boobytraps.
----
* NonActionGuy: Brilliant at building traps, but he's essentially helpless when Harley finally confronts him face to face.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: A fairly obscure one at that. He was introduced in the rather obscure comic series "Chase" as the lifelong nemesis of DEO agent Cameron Chase. He later appeared in the pages of "Manhunter"
* SmugSnake: He loves to gloat about his traps.
* TrapMaster: He's actually really good at his job, Harley requires an ace burglar to be able to defeat him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Condiment King]]
!!Condiment King (Mitchell Mayo)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk
A villain who uses condiments as weapons. Kite Man's nemesis.
----
* CompositeCharacter: Has the appearance of the original animated series, and the name from the comics.
* EatenAlive: Ivy has Frank eat him and his fiancee so she and Kite-Man can have their wedding venue.
* EvilIsPetty: Shoots some mustard on Kite Man's tux just to make him look bad in front of the wedding hall's owner.
* EvilVersusEvil: He is Kite Man's archnemesis, despite both of them being (wannabe) "super"-villains.
* FamousLastWords: "It's Condiment King!"
* MeaningfulName: After a fashion, in that a ''condiment'' is something you ''eat''.
* PungeonMaster: He ''loves'' his condiment puns.
* SitcomArchNemesis: He and Kite Man are constantly throwing petty pranks at each other rather than trying to kill each other. Gets subverted, with ''extreme'' prejudice, by the introduction of an ''actual'' supervillainess, Ivy, into the equation - and her man-eating plant, of course.
* UglyGuyHotWife: His fiancee Becca is much more attractive than he is.
* UnderwearOfPower: He wears a pair of tighty whities on the outside of his costume. It makes him look even more ridiculous.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Darkseid]]
!!ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} (Uxas)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelIronside
The ruler of Apokolips.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Surprisingly, yes. Most versions of Darkseid would not even entertain the thought of giving an army to anyone unless it would benefit any of his plans. That said he is still the same ruthless dictator who desires the eradication of free will throughout the known universe. Likewise, him mentioning Harley was filling a void was him attempting to genuinely advise her.
* BadassBaritone: Since he's voiced by Creator/MichaelIronside.
* TheComicallySerious: He constantly interrupts Harley from speaking while giving his speech with no change in his tone whatsoever, and also points out that Harley is repressing issues and trying to compensate with his army.
* TheDreaded: While partially played for comedy, Harley's crew is clearly terrified of him and makes point to always keep reffering to him in some grandoise way to avoid ticking him off. [[spoiler: Even when Doctor Pyscho steals the helmet that boosts his power he is still terrified of Darkseid and is quick to suck up to him in his presence.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Tells Doctor Psycho that not even he would call someone [[CountryMatters a cunt]].
** [[spoiler: [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Doctor Psycho explaining his backstory where]] [[InsaneTrollLogic he saw so many people die in a Ferris wheel accident is the reason he hates women]] prompts Darkseid to commonly state that Psycho's reasoning makes no sense and ends the transmission with him.]]
* GalacticConqueror: He is introduced crushing the skull of [[ComicBook/NewGods Forager]] after declaring the conquest of his world.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Easily the most dangerous villain to appear in the show so far, but he doesn't appear interested in Earth, much less Gotham City. His only so far has been supplying an army of his Parademons to Harley. [[spoiler: And after Harley backed out of the deal, Doctor Psycho took control of the army made a deal with Darkseid that if he killed Harley as punishment for walking out of the deal, Darkseid would give him Earth.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Similar to Lex Luthor, he has plenty of funny moments, but the plot of the second season does get more serious with his introduction and Harley getting an army of Parademons. [[spoiler: When Doctor Psycho is displeased with Harley not wanting to use the Parademon army to TakeOverTheWorld, he takes control of the Parademons and plans to conquer the world himself.]]
* LargeAndInCharge: He is a giant, even making King Shark look tiny in comparison.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Despite wanting Doctor Psycho to kill Harley for breaking her deal with him, when Harley does defeat Psycho he is so impressed with Harley that he offers her the means to conquer Earth. Downplayed since when she backs out of the deal, he swear to kill her in the future.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: Quickly notices Harley is trying to fill a void in her heart and advises that what she is doing won't work.
* VillainOfAnotherStory: He is a GalacticConqueror and a much more dangerous villain than any of the show's cast, but his appearance so far has just been as a benefactor to Harley Quinn.
[[/folder]]

!!Superheroes

[[folder:The Justice League]]
A group of superheroes who work together to protect the world from threats too great for them to beat alone. Their membership includes Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, and Aquaman.
----

* AdaptationalJerkass: They are noticable less "heroic" than in other versions. In season one, they nearly banish Harley and her crew to the Phantom Zone forever without a trial based on a ''hunch'' that they were responsible for the killer trees in Gotham, and Ivy has to plead for Wonder Woman to use her lasso to prove she's not lying. In season two, they show no gratitude toward Harley for freeing them from the Queen of Fables' spellbook and are willing to kill Harley's brainwashed crew if they give them too much trouble to simply subdue them. Wonder Woman shows no gratitude for Harley and Ivy saving Themyscira, and after they subdue the brainwashed Ivy, they declare that she is too dangerous to be let go, so they plan to throw her in the Phantom Zone, explicitly stating she will be in there forever, meaning they have no intention of freeing her after defeating [[spoiler:Dr. Psycho]]. When Harley tells them to throw her in there too because she can't live without Ivy, Superman nonchalantly says "Okay".
* GoodCounterpart: To the Legion of Doom, naturally.
* ThePlotReaper: Non-fatal example. [[spoiler:The Queen of Fables sucks them into her storybook in the penultimate episode of Season 1, as otherwise the question would come up of why they aren't helping save Gotham from Joker's takeover.]]
* PutOnABus: Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Flash take a long-term bus trip when [[spoiler:they're sucked into the Queen of Fables' storybook.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While they (not unfairly) assume Poison Ivy is behind [[spoiler:the monstrous trees rampaging Gotham]], when she claims it wasn't her while under the influence of the Lasso of Truth, they stand down and give Harley's crew a chance to explain themselves.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Batman]]
!!ComicBook/{{Batman}} (Bruce Wayne)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DiedrichBader
The protector of Gotham City.
----
* ActionDad: To Damian.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: A classic Type 2, who strikes fear into the hearts of criminals by both wearing the emblem of a bat and styling himself after one. Harley enjoys mocking that [[BestialityIsDepraved he must also fuck them]].
* BeneathTheMask: "Batman's Back Man" reveals that beneath his serious superhero persona, he's a complete {{Manchild}} who is stubborn to an almost suicidal degree.
* BerserkButton: When the Joker brings up the death of Jason Todd while Batman interrogates him and mocks Batman over it, he completely loses it and slams the Joker hard enough against a window to crack it and make him spurt blood out of his mouth.
* CastingGag: He's voiced by Creator/DiedrichBader, who previously played Bats in one of the LighterAndSofter Batman animated adaptations, ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''.
* TheComicallySerious: How the show treats his usual stoicism; his serious, straight-faced reactions to everyone else's insanity are a source of humor for the show.
* ConvenientComa: [[spoiler:The first episode of Season 2 reveals he did survive the collapse of the Joker's tower, but has been in a coma for months.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: He is a [[TheCowl cowl]] hero who protects Gotham like most versions.
* DatingCatwoman: He and Catwoman are intimate enough that she knows he "waxes everything". He also has a kid with the daughter of the leader of a clan of assassins.
* FatalFlaw: Pride and [[IneffectualLoner selfishness]]. Batman likes to think he can take everything on by himself. In the show, he's been shown very wrong ''twice'' -- when he brought out some PoweredArmor against Bane and failed, and years back when he called "beginner's luck" that Harley managed to divine the location of a bomb from the Joker.
* FriendshipDenial: When Gordon asks for his emotional support as a friend, Batman asserts they're co-workers who should only talk about fighting crime. The already unstable Gordon cracks because of this.
* GoodParents: When he sees Damian is distraught over his failure at being Harley's nemesis, he tries to cheer him up with his favorite dish - a grilled cheese sandwich with the Robin symbol on it - and tries consoling him by explaining how he himself "late-bloomer" when it comes to having his own nemesis. On-top of his PapaWolf moments, this shows that Batman is putting in the effort to being an actual ''dad'' to Damian and not just a master/ward relationship, [[AdaptationalNiceGuy something that fans would argue is more than can be said for other versions of the character]].
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He's only a supporting character in this show.
* HopeBringer: Despite being injured and gone for months, upon his return and seen on Batgirl's videos, the city instantly stands up to the villains. People celebrating his return and making Two-Face team up with Bane despite earlier saying no.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He feels he is the only one who can manage the villains in Gotham. This lone wolf attitude gets him in trouble on a few occasions when he is taken down and in need of assistance. Later subverts this trope when trusting Batgirl with helping the city upon rescuing him.
* IneffectualLoner: His flaw is that Batman is grossly self-reliant and isolates himself from his friends and family when he believes they are interfering with his duties as Batman. [[spoiler: He ignores Alfred's warnings when told that he should rest in order to recover from his injuries, but he ignores him and is almost killed by Two-Face's gang after being brutalized by Bane.]]
* InsistentTerminology: The image on his suit is a ''symbol'', not a ''logo'', and he will not hear otherwise.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: His standard method for interrogating criminals is beating the shit out of them. It doesn't really work for him, especially when he tries it on the Joker.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: He's this to the chronically on-edge Gordon by virtue of being his OnlyFriend, to the extent that Gordon summons Batman on occasion just to talk about the problems in his life. Batman insisting that they're just "coworkers" in ''You're a Damn Good Cop, Jim Gordon'' causes Gordon to suffer a breakdown. [[spoiler:Batman being missing for months at the time Gotham has been turned into an apocalyptic wasteland sends Gordon past the DespairEventHorizon.]]
* NoHeroToHisValet: Alfred Pennyworth is perhaps the only human being in the world who can give Batman orders and call him out when his stubbornness goes too far.
* NoSocialSkills: Like many other versions of his character, he often struggles with expressing affection towards other people. This ends up playing a part in ''You're a Damn Good Cop, Jim Gordon'', in which Batman's dismissal of his and Gordon's friendship causes Gordon to snap.
* NotSoDifferent: Away from the villains he's fighting, he's just as stubborn and childish as Harley can get.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He isn't ''completely'' immune to the show's bizarre nature, at one point giving a completely serious birds-and-the-bees lecture to Damian about how [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything he was a "late bloomer" when it came to getting his own nemesis]]. [[spoiler:After he wakes up from his coma in Season 2, he also displays a childishly stubborn side to himself, whining to Alfred about how he wants to be outside fighting crime. It's pretty similar to how his Creator/WillArnett [[WesternAnimation/TheLEGOBatmanMovie counterpart]] acts. And he did install [[BrickJoke a codpiece in his armored batsuit that fires missiles]].]]
* NotSoStoic: He looked briefly freaked out when [[spoiler:the Joker graphically killed the Scarecrow.]] As it turns out, he can also be childishly petulant when he's around just Alfred.
* OnlySaneMan: He constantly keeps Jim on track while interrogating Harley and even outright asks her why she's staying with a man that treats her like dirt.
** The events of "Batman's Back Man" show that this is only in comparison to everybody else. Batman is ''actually'' a total {{Manchild}} who acts more like a rebellious teenager who treats his butler like a FantasyForbiddingFather. He just hides all of this with an ''incredibly'' well constructed facade.
* PapaWolf: Batman swoops in to save Robin from King Shark on a bloodlust high, and is furious with Harley for putting him in such danger. Bonus points for this Robin being Damian Wayne, Batman's biological son.
* PetTheDog: Despite frequently coming to blows with Harley, (and despite her nearly killing Robin) [[EveryoneHasStandards he's disgusted by how the Joker treats her]] and genuinely wants her to leave him for good.
* SaveTheVillain: Saves Harley after the Joker tries to push her into the ocean.
** [[spoiler: Saves Harley and Ivy during the collapse of the Joker's lair.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Batman himself admits he isn't any good at expressing emotion and likes to keep things professional, but he isn't incapable of caring for others. He can try and be a good father to Damian and despite claiming he and Gordon are "just co-workers", Batman does appreciate their alliance enough to make pictures of him partying with Gordon his screensaver.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Despite Harley being an unhinged supervillain, Batman legitimately is disgusted by how poorly the Joker treats her and is sympathetic to her whenever she gets a reminder of how much of a DomesticAbuser he is.
--> '''Batman''' ''(solemnly)'': "Some things never change, Quinn."
* WorfHadTheFlu: His poor showing against Bane even with his PoweredArmor was due to him getting rusty, having just recovered from his coma.

[[folder:Wonder Woman]]
!!ComicBook/WonderWoman (Diana of Themyscira)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/VanessaMarshall
An Amazonian princess turned superhero.
----
* OnlySaneWoman: Her most noticeable status among all the other heroes. Includes doing lots of eye rolls.
* ShockwaveClap: When Doctor Psycho does a PsychicStrangle on her, she escapes by crashing her vambraces together to knock him away with the shockwave.
* UngratefulBitch: When Harley mentions that she saved Themyscira to try and get her to try and not kill the mind controled Ivy out of gratitude, Wonder Woman just tells Harley to leave, stating she can't promise Harley's safety if she remains on the battlefield.

[[folder:Superman]]
!!ComicBook/{{Superman}} (Clark Kent)
->'''Voiced by:''' James Wolk
The world's greatest hero and protector of Metropolis.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: Though he's still extremely powerful, he is vulnerable to Poison Ivy's pheremones. In the comics, the pheremones have no effect on him unless they are mixed with kryptonite.
* {{Adorkable}}: He's introduced smashing through a wall and spitting out some rubble because his mouth was open. Then there's the way he confirms a sushi dinner date with Lois.
-->'''Superman:''' You know how I...''roll''.
* JerkassBall: In the season 2 finale, he has no objections to Ivy being banished to the Phantom Zone forever instead of freeing her after the threat is dealt with, and he is perfectly willing to throw Harley in there too.
* NiceGuy: This is ''Superman'' we're talking about. As well as heroic, he is friendly, polite, encouraging, and overall pleasant to both heroes and villains.
* PassThePopcorn: His reaction to Harley and Ivy tag-teaming Batman on Tawny's show is to shrug and keep eating sushi.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Robin]]
!!ComicBook/{{Robin}} (Damian Wayne)
->'''Voiced by:''' Jacob Tremblay
Batman’s pre-teen son and sidekick.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: "Nice" might be going a bit far, but he's a lot more playful and less militantly pragmatic than most versions of Damian. Even though the "cute kid" shtick is mostly just an act (we see his normal, super-serious self when he's alone with Batman), he's not above putting on such an act in the first place.
* AdaptationalWimp: He's never treated as a physical threat despite his boast of being trained by assassins indicating that he should be. Harley leaves him hanging from a hook by his belt in their first encounter, and effortlessly finds and kidnaps him when she needs to later in the episode. To be fair, he '''is''' a 12-year-old kid, and all the ninjutsu in the world can't compensate for body mass. He also randomly gets nosebleeds and [[InopportuneVoiceCracking his voice cracks when he tries to sound tough]].
* BrattyHalfPint: Wouldn't be Damian if he wasn't this way. He calls Harley a clown and old, and gets hung up on a meat hook for his troubles.
* BrokenPedestal: Tawny is extremely disappointed when it turns out that Robin isn't the "sweet potato pie" that he appears to be after the latter was tricked into an EngineeredPublicConfession by Harley.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: His only appearance in the second season is an early cameo. His absence is particularly notable in the Batman-centric episode that not only spends a great deal of time at Wayne Manor, but also focuses on how Gotham's heroes have been getting by without the Bat.
* CompositeCharacter: The character is Damian Wayne, but his anime-esque artstyle is clearly a reference to the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' version of Robin, who is generally assumed to be Dick Grayson. On top of that, his egotistical attitude also brings to mind the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' incarnation of the character.
* CutenessProximity: Provided they don't already know what a brat he is, everyone treats Robin like a basket of kittens. Even ''Ivy'', who both ''knows'' what a brat he is ''and'' has a serious disliking for people in general, thinks he's adorable.
* DeliberatelyCuteChild: He goes on Tawny's talk show and plays cutesy for the camera.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: He tries to convince others that he's as cool and strong as Batman, but he's a bratty kid and a sidekick, so no one takes him seriously.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: His large eyes and wild hair are more anime-esque than any other character, [[CompositeCharacter not unlike Dick Grayson]] in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''.
* RealityEnsues: For all his training, he's still a prepubescent child. Without much body mass, he's not much of a direct threat.
* ShonenHair: Has a spiky, jet-black haircut that’s straight out of an anime series.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Is this to Harley, who at least wants a nemesis "with some hair on his chest".
* SmallNameBigEgo: He's Damian, so a mammoth ego is basically mandatory, but he's a sidekick so his insistence that he and Harley are arch enemies hurts her reputation.
* TakingUpTheMantle: Played for laughs when he [[spoiler:tries to replace Batman when he has gone missing after the fall of the Joker's tower. He puts on Batman's suit, which on a person half the volume of Batman leaves it hanging off in many places and scrunched up in others]].
* YearningForANemesis: He complains about wanting a nemesis because all his fellow Teen Titans have one.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Aquaman]]
!!ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} (Arthur Curry)
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChrisDiamantopoulos
The sovereign ruler of Atlantis and protector of the seas.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: While usually depicted with immense superhuman strength from living at the bottom of the ocean, here he can't manage to get untangled from Ivy's giant kelp fronds and has to ashamedly ask his dolphin friend for help. Also, in the comics he can tank punches from Superman, but Harley is able to hurt him. Downplayed, as he ''is'' still tough enough to keep the Legion at bay single-handed without much trouble, even though almost nobody takes him seriously.
* CurbStompBattle: Defeats several Legion members single-handedly. Harley turns out to be no match for him without Ivy's help and she only manages to survive by tricking him into breaking a fish tank, causing Aquaman to take the fish to water.
* {{Expy}}: His portrayal seems to be more Namor's than Arthur Curry's.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He has no problem trying to kill Harley and Ivy for stealing from him.
* IAmXSonOfY: He always introduces himself with "It is I, Aquaman, son of Atlan, heir to the Throne of Atlantis!" Nobody cares.
* LargeHam: Maybe the only person whose real self is just as bombastic as Clayface's portrayal of him. Works against him as Clayface easily convinces the guards chasing Harley and co. that he's the real deal.
* MythologyGag: His referring to himself as the "son of Atlan" comes from the early DC Comics, where Atlan was really his father.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In a fight with Harley, he ends up breaking a fish tank.
* NoSell: Harley pummels him after he hurts Ivy, and it does nothing.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: He wields a trident that shoots energy blasts.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Easily restrained by Ivy's plants, but able to take on the whole Legion of Doom single-handedly, but ''also'' easily injured by Harley's punches ''until'' he suddenly isn't. Good luck making any sense of how tough he's supposed to be.

!!ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} (Barbara Gordon)
->'''Voiced by:''' Briana Cuoco
The daughter of Commissioner Jim Gordon who strives to become a fighter of crime.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: An energetic college student who fawns over Batman, gets giddy after fighting a supervillain, and awkwardly tries to hang out with Harley and Ivy. Check.
* BrainyBrunette: She has chestnut hair like her father and shows observation skills that give her potential as a detective.
* CastingGag: She is voiced by Briana Cuoco, sister of Kaley Cuoco (Harley Quinn).
* CompositeCharacter: Is Barbara Gordon, but with Stephanie Brown's personality, and starts off fighting in a hood and ski mask against a clue-based villain. She also starts her career in No Man's Land, like Cassandra Cain.
* DaddysGirl: While Batman inspired her superhero costume, the one who made her want to be a hero was her father.
* EnemyMine: She's willing to side with Harley and Ivy even though she knows those two are criminals because she wants to get rid of the Riddler too.
* HeroWorshipper: Her dorm room has several posters of Batman and she designs her superhero suit after him, showing how much she admires him.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Or in this case, daughter. She's just as clingy, goofy and Batman-obsessed as her dad, just in a slightly different way.
* MythologyGag: Her Batsuit is like the "Batgirl of Burnside" outfit (but [[Series/Batman1966 purple with yellow trim]]), and as Barbara she's [[WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls2019 wearing a hoodie]].
* NiceGirl: She's very kind to both heroes and Harley's crew.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: In contrast to her stressed-out and cynical father, she is a cheerful and optimistic girl.
* ThrillSeeker: She loves the adrenaline rush from fighting crime.
* YouthfulFreckles: She has a cluster of freckles on each cheek, which reflects her energetic and inexperienced character.

!!Others

[[folder:Commissioner Jim Gordon]]
!!Commissioner Jim Gordon
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopherMeloni
The commissioner of the Gotham Police Department.
----
* ActionDad: Once he finally pulled out of his depression by his daughter, Gordon goes to kill all of Two-Face's goons and beats Two-Face without any of Batgirl's help.
* ActorAllusion: Gordon's only a hair's width from sinking into becoming Meloni's ''Series/{{Happy}}'' character.
* AdaptationalBadass: It takes some time, but once he actually gets his act together, he proves to be probably the most badass version of Jim Gordon ever. An out-of-shape Gordon puts on a clean police uniform, marches into the GCP headquarters with two guns and lays waste to Two-Face's entire gang, knocks out Two-Face and tosses him in a cell. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis All. On. His. Own.]] Badass!
* AdaptationalJerkass: This version of Gordon is more of a trigger happy glory hound than any previous incarnation, being prone to pulling reckless stunts in order to be validated as a hero. Though given his [[NoRespectGuy general treatment in the show]], he desire for validation is somewhat understandable.
* AdaptationalUgliness: Gordon usually looks fairly upright and clean-cut. Here, the man sports a constant five o'clock shadow, [[ExhaustedEyeBags huge bags under his eyes]], and a generally frazzled, sloppy appearance. It's implied that this is all due to the stress of his job.
* TheAlcoholic: It's implied in the first season with his disheveled appearance, but by Season 2, with Gotham in ruins, he's seen drinking straight from the bottle when he tries in vain to signal for Batman.
* BadassNormal: Whilst he might be going through a rough time in his life, this is still ''the'' Commissioner Jim Gordon. When he gets his act together, Two-Face learns this the hard way.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Even Gordon's OnlyFriend Batman doesn't take Gordon's unstable condition seriously. Gordon develops a quick friendship with Clayface's sentient right hand, who is the only one who has been willing to listen to his personal life's problems, not judge him and give him wise advice. Even after the hand gets reabsorbed into Clayface, Gordon can't bring himself to shoot Clayface and hurt the hand.
* CarpetOfVirility: No wonder why the Joker was picking hair out of his teeth for weeks after eating sushi off his body. [[ItMakesSenseInContext It makes more sense in context]] with Harley and the Joker celebrating in the past.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: Actually, Gordon's plan to [[spoiler: arrest the villains and stop them]] was actually really good. Well thought out. Until it went [[KnowWhenToFoldEm off]] when Harley came and stopped him.
* {{Cuckold}}: He reveals to Batman in Season 1, Episode 6 he's discovered his wife Barbara is cheating on him... and he honestly can't blame her given what a complete wreck he is.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of TheCommissionerGordon. The show actually shows how being in charge of Gotham City would take a toll on someone. Unlike most media, where Gordon remains tough as hell in the face of overwhelming adversity, this Gordon is a deeply stressed out mess of a man who's always on edge. Co-creator Justin Halpern discussed this:
--> '''Justin Halpern''': What would Commissioner Gordon actually be like if he was the Commissioner of the Gotham Police Department, saw what he saw every single day for 27 years, and never went to therapy? What would that look like? He'd be so fucked up and constantly on edge. He's got a thankless job, he's doing the day-to-day grunt work, filling out all the paper work, and he's oftentimes maligned. That ultimately drives a man to madness. His marriage is falling apart, he's drinking too much and has no real friends.
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Batman's disappearance, the police force abandoning him coupled with his wife asking for a divorce causes Jim to lose the will to fight crime.]]
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: After Gotham falls into chaos, all of Gordon's officers abandon him and join Bane's faction. This nearly drives poor Jim to the DespairEventHorizon.]]
* FinalBoss: Surprisingly enough, for season 2. He plans to infiltrate Poison Ivy's wedding and arrest all the supervillains in attendance.
* FormerlyFit: [[spoiler: Prior to Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face, Jim was a fitness enthusiast when he was in more control of his stress.]]
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: [[spoiler: His daughter brings him back to his senses by reminding him that he matters to her and feeling sorry for himself won't fix the problems with Gotham. Not only does Jim listen to this and clean himself up, he also reclaims the GCPD from Two-Face '''[[OneManArmy single-handedly]]''']]
* HesBack: Learning that his daughter is Batgirl seems to motivate him enough to dump out his booze and head back to Gotham P.D. headquarters, where he singlehandedly takes out Two-Face's crew and throws Two-Face in jail.
* ImpaledPalm: When Two-Face tries to stab him with a knife, Gordon stops it with the palm of his own hand.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: [[spoiler: Gordon wishes just to be thanked, showed some gratitude for all his effort. Thus he tries to arrest all the villains and decides to listen to Two-Face in running for mayor to finally be thanked like Batman.]]
* IWasQuiteTheLooker: Before the job crushed his mind and his spirit, Gordon was fit, clean-shaven, and had no grey hairs.
* JadedWashout: Early in Season 2, his TraumaCongaLine has reduced him to a cynical, depressed man who lazes around his daughter's dorm in his underwear.
* JerkassBall: In the season 2 finale, he and his police force attack during Poison Ivy's wedding to arrest all the attending villains, ruining her wedding day.
* LetsGetDangerous: His takeover of the police station in Season 2 Episode 7 is this. After a season and a half of watching him fall apart a little more every episode, it's relatively surprising to see that yes, there ''is'' a reason he was able to keep his job as long as he did.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler: After doing everything alone to save Gotham, he's shunted aside by 3 lesser-known heroes and the mayor himself. Still reeling from this monumental show of ingratitude, especially since these heroes and the mayor did nothing to earn the keys to the city, Two-Face convinces Gordon to run for mayor so he can finally get the respect he rightfully deserves.]]
* MustHaveCaffeine: He's clutching a mug of coffee during every scene he's a part of in the first episode.
* NervousWreck: He's constantly on-edge and never calms down.
* ParentChildTeam: [[spoiler: After he snaps out of his drunken funk, he begins working with his daughter, Batgirl, to restore Gotham city.]]
* PermaStubble: He has a five o'clock shadow beardstache and is one bad day away from having a stress-induced mental breakdown.
* PostClimaxConfrontation: [[spoiler:The primary villain of the season, Doctor Psycho, had already been defeated and incarcerated by the final episode of Season 2, with Commissioner Gordon showing up to crash Ivy's wedding for the sake of giving it an antagonist.]]
* RealityEnsues: As a normal man keeping law in a town/world of supervillains, he is on the edge of sanity.
* RunningGag:
** This version of Gordon has a tendency to (much like Scully from ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'') give TooMuchInformation about his health problems, such as his anal polyp or [=STDs=].
** He also has a tendency to matter-of-factly state his personal flaws or traumas with complete awareness about how they affect those around him, seemingly not making any effort to change them.
* SanitySlippage: Staying in charge of a WretchedHive like Gotham has taken a distinct toll on the man, leaving the poor guy a mess. One conversation with Harley nearly puts him in a frothing rage and Batman is the one that reigns ''him'' in.
* SidetrackedByTheAnalogy: When Harley mentions going on an all-inclusive vacation with the Joker, he rants about how "all-inclusive" is BS because they charge you for little amenities. Batman snaps him out of it.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: Is last seen in Season 1 being dragged away by the Joker's troops. Whether he was executed or he survived the destruction of Gotham is not made clear. However, he appears alive and well ([[DespairEventHorizon physically but not mentally]]) at the start of Season 2.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Back when he was fit and more mentally stable, he was best friends with Harvey Dent, Harvey's transformation into Two-Face may have been the catalyst for his mental breakdown. [[spoiler: After a motivational speech from his daughter, Jim defeats his former friend and locks him up.]]

[[folder:Alfred Pennyworth]]
!!Alfred Pennyworth
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomHollander
Faithful butler to Bruce Wayne and trusted companion of Batman.
----
* ActionDad: He's Bruce Wayne's father in all but blood, and he can hold his own in a fight.
* AdaptationalBadass: While Alfred has always been capable of meeting force with force, [[spoiler:this incarnation becomes a masked hero in Batman's absence.]]
* AdaptationalDyeJob: One of the rare versions of Alfred in animation who still possesses a full head of hair.
* AgentPeacock: [[spoiler: He dresses up as the Macaroni, a 19th-century Englishman dandy with make-up and an AwesomeButImpractical wig that contains an arsenal.]]
* BattleButler: Unlike other incarnations who are only Bruce's ParentalSubstitute and snarky butler, [[spoiler:Alfred joins the fight against crime after Gotham becomes a hellhole and his master is recovering from serious injuries.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Alfred is always unceasingly polite, but he easily takes down mooks just fine.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: [[spoiler:His own costumed hero outfit looks like a walking "Kick Me" sign, according to Bruce. He's still effective to fight off some goons.]]
* TheCaretaker: He looks after Bruce after he's gravely injured [[spoiler:after failing to escape from the Joker's collapsing tower]] and forbids him from going back to fight crime until he's fully recovered.
* CovertPervert: When Dr. Psycho projects footage of [[spoiler:Harley and Ivy hooking up]] to all of Gotham, Alfred closes the curtains in disapproval...and then immediately peeps through them.
* HeavySleeper: Batman's new armor flies around all over Alfred's bedroom and that still fails to wake him up.
* HiredHelpAsFamily: Alfred behaves more like Bruce's adoptive father than his butler.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[spoiler: Whenever he appears as the Macaroni, an English theme of "Yankee Doodle" plays.]]
* MythologyGag: The [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age of Comics]] had Batman with a bunch of allies and villains who adapted historical-period costumes as their motifs (the Cavalier the most remembered one today).
* ObfuscatingStupidity: His choice of costume and moniker must have been intended to make everyone underestimate him and hide just how effective he is. Even Bruce was taken in and scoffed at first.
* OnlySaneMan: In all of Wayne Manor, in all of Gotham, Alfred is the constant voice of reason.
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:He saves his surrogate son Batman from Two-Face's goons.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: Alfred raised Bruce after the loss of his parents.
* ServileSnarker: "British dry wit" may as well be Alfred's mother tongue.
* UnfazedEveryman: Alfred is nigh unflappable, a result of years in Batman's service.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatalieMorales
IntrepidReporter for the Daily Planet and Superman's girlfriend.

* DamselInDistress: Harley's crew hold her prisoner after she writes a bad article on Harley. Not that Lois cares that much, seeing as she has a literal living god looking out for her. To quote Poison Ivy, "You can't fuck with Lois Lane".
* IntrepidReporter: But again, it's fairly easy to be intrepid with the whole living god as her boyfriend thing.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: In this series, Lois is only presented as Superman's love interest and Harley kidnaps her hoping it'll get her the chance of making Superman her ArchNemesis.
* UnfazedEveryman: She shows a decided lack of concern over the fact that a team of criminals take her hostage. But when you have Superman taking you on dinner dates on a regular basis, you'd probably wouldn't be concerned about some C-list villains either.

->'''Voiced by:''' Tisha Campbell-Martin
A reporter and talk show host.
----
* CombatCommentator: Engages in talk show banter to the camera while a tag team of supervillains (and Batman) are slowly tearing her stage apart.
* CrowdChant: Just like Creator/JerrySpringer or Creator/RickiLake, Tawny's audience chants her name when they get excited, or, in this case, when the Joker throws her into the stalls.
* CutenessProximity: Finds Robin so cute that she can't think straight. She even calls him "a sweet potato pie".
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: She's a black woman with blonde hair.
* ExcitedShowTitle: Her show's logo has an exclamation point. With a heart replacing the dot, no less.
* {{Expy}}: While she is a minor DC character, her talk show persona is clearly modeled on Creator/WendyWilliams.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Her talk show appears to be a platform for both heroes and villains to tell their stories.
* InkSuitActor: Her appearance draws more inspiration from her voice actress [[https://i2.wp.com/eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Tisha-Campbell-The-Real1.jpg?resize=757%2C500&ssl=1 Tisha Campbell-Martin]] than her comic book counterpart.

-->'''Bane:''' The credit card is for emergencies only, but your bill is all candies and vape pens, and something suspiciously labeled "Dolphin Encounter".
* DisproportionateRetribution: He puts a million dollar bounty on Harley's head because she ruined his bar mitzvah. When Bane scolds him for it, Joshua admits he was being "impulsive."
* JewishAndNerdy: Such a stereotypical nerd that Harley Quinn is able to talk him out of killing her by playing on his insecurities.
* JewishComplaining: Complains that all he wanted was an action figure set.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Maybe. He manages to put a bounty on Harley that even her own parents try to claim, leaving her seriously injured by the end of the episode. The problem is, he tried to use a Legion credit card to cover the bounty, prompting Bane to tell him that he should pay it with cash.
* RealityEnsues: Like lots of people everywhere who get their first ever credit card before they even understand how using it works, he thinks it means he's got easy cash and goes overboard on spending.
* SpoiledBrat: Uses an emergency credit card to purchase vapes, candies and a dolphin encounter.
* StupidCrooks: Puts out a hit on Harley Quinn using a credit card instead of cash.

!!Herman
->'''Voiced by:''' Mark Whitten
Doctor Psycho and Giganta's son.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Downplayed. As the Cowled Critic, he's very popular online in the supervillain circle, enough that he's the only internet critic whose opinions the Legion of Doom takes seriously, including his opinions on who should be invited to join them.
* AllGenesAreCodominant: The son of a dwarf father and a giant mother is average-sized.
* CausticCritic: He runs a website aimed at critiquing supervillains.
* ChildByRape: It's not brought up, but he is a result of his father mind-controlling his mother into loving him.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: One of the many things he resents his father for is naming him "Herman".
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is several pitches deeper in his Cowled Critic reviews. It's not known if it's digitally altered to sound deeper or if he can do it naturally.
* FreudianExcuse: {{Invoked|Trope}} on his father's part. Doctor Psycho deliberately made Herman's childhood a living hell so that he would grow up to become a supervillain.
* FriendlessBackground: According to Herman, the reason why he doesn't have many friends is because his father killed anyone who showed any sign of liking him.
* {{Goth}}: He dresses like a typical Goth teenager.
* HatesTheirParent: He has a DartboardOfHate with Doctor Psycho's picture in his room. Given that Doctor Psycho gave him the worst childhood he could give to his son, Herman is justified to hate his father. Their relationship does improve after both admit how proud they are of how evil the other is.
* OverlordJr: His father is relieved that his abuse of his son appears to have the desired effect, and he seems to be embracing the supervillain lifestyle.
* PhoneaholicTeenager: While his parents are arguing on a talk show, he is constantly on his phone.
* SkullForAHead: Wears a CoolMask that gives this impression as the Cowled Critic. The "jaw" of his mask moves in tune with his mouth movements.
* WellDoneSonGuy: All he ever wanted was to impress his father, being afraid that his father abused him so horribly because he wasn't evil enough. They make up when Doctor Psycho praises him for the first time, telling him how proud he is to see his son has grown up to be evil enough to make a malicious review about his own father and his new supervillain team.

[[folder:Jason Praxis]]
!!Jason Praxis
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PhilLaMarr
The sole survivor of the Praxis family reunion massacre.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Instead of just his niece, his entire extended family is murdered.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comics, he had telekinesis that supposedly stem from an ability to control electricity. Here it's a simpler case of ShockAndAwe.
* BungledSuicide: Losing his entire extended family led Jason to end his life by throwing himself into a STAR Labs electric fence. Unfortunately for Harley’s crew, he survived his suicide attempt and gained superpowers.
* CListFodder: A pretty obscure character which makes him fair game to be brutally murdered by the Queen of Fables.
* CompositeCharacter: Oddly enough his electrical powers are more reminiscent of Richard Redditch, the SerialKiller from his origin story.
* DeathByAdaptation: He is alive in the comics, but died here.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Harley mistakes him for a girl due to his pony tail.
* FreakLabAccident: Parodied - he threw himself against the electric fence around STAR labs. The Queen of Fables outright calls how obvious it is that he got powers from it.
* HeroAntagonist: He's completely justified in wanting revenge, but ends up against the team since his target is a friend of theirs.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: The Queen of Fables kills him with a spear through the head.
* LargeHam: His heroic monologue about his desire to avenge his family. This annoys the Queen of Fables, who's clearly used to hearing these speeches.
* ShockAndAwe: He threw himself against the STAR Labs electric fence, giving him these powers.
* SoleSurvivor: He's the only one of the Praxis family to not have been killed by the Big Bad Wolf because Harley pretended there was no survivors when she spotted him. The Queen of Fables personally kills him towards the end of the episode anyway.
* VictimOfTheWeek: His episode has him getting killed by the Queen of Fables after Harley foils his revenge.
* YankTheDogsChain: He is killed right after he is tricked into believing he has avenged his family and can move on with his life.

!!Nick and Sharon Quinzel
->'''Nick voiced by:''' Creator/CharlieAdler

Harley's parents, for lack of a better word. Barry was Harley's dead brother.
----
* AbusiveParents: They were the emotionally abusive kind towards Harley her entire life, never showing her real love and being dismissive of her wishes and skills. They move into physically abusive when they try to ''beat, stab and shoot'' her for her bounty.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Sharon is more relaxed in the show than she is in ''ComicBook/GothamCitySirens'', presumably because Barry and his kids don't live with her in the adaptation.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Both are FAR WORSE than their comic counterparts. Harley's mother in the comics was shown to at least care about her and disapproved of Nick's conman ways, while Nick was ready to shoot the Sportmaster's brains out if he didn't leave Harley, and forced the Sportmaster's minions to save Harley's friends. Here, both hatched a plot to have Harley assassinated.
* AdaptedOut: Harley's family appeared in ''ComicBook/GothamCitySirens''. In that story, Harley had a couple of nephews, which weren't adapted for the show due to their father [[DeathByAdaptation dying as a teenager and not fathering anyone]].
* AintTooProudToBeg: They fold like paper when Harley is able to dominate them in a fight.
* AgeLift: Barry is alive and well in ''Sirens'', and he is a guy around his late-20's/early-30's with multiple "wives" and kids. In the show, he died as a teenager and was cremated.
* ApatheticCitizens: Their only concern regarding their daughter's transformation into a city-threatening supervillain is how it affects their standing with their neighbours.
* BaitTheDog: During most of their debut episode, they act like flawed but caring parents, and repeatedly show love and support to their daughter. Harley even manages to reconnect with her father after they fight the mob together. Then comes the twist of their ParentalBetrayal during the climax of the episode: they are the ones who hired assassins to kill Harley in order to collect her bounty.
* BrokenPedestal: Harley genuinely loved and respected her mother, unlike how she felt about her father. That changed when her mother tried to kill her.
* BullyingADragon: The only reason they made any headway when they tried to double-cross Harley was because she was going easy on them, and even then they lost. But considering that she used to be the Joker’s right-hand woman and is just as bloody minded as he is at times, it honestly shows how fundamentally shallow and stupid they are. The only reason they walk away is [[NotWorthKilling because Harley doesn’t consider them worth the effort of killing.]]
* DeathByAdaptation: Barry is alive in ''Sirens'' as an adult, but he died as a teenager and was cremated in the show.
* DissonantSerenity: Right after shooting his own grown-up daughter, Nick talks to Harley like she was 9 and he just had to cancel a trip to the park.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Averted. Neither seems particularly fazed when Harley's grandparents are murdered in front of them.
* {{Expy}}: Of Al and Peg Bundy from ''Series/MarriedWithChildren''. But at least Al stuck by his kids whenever they had trouble, and would never collect a bounty on them.
* FemaleMisogynist: Sharon is [[ImpliedTrope implied]] to be a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example of this. She insisted that her daughter marry a doctor, and was not satisfied with her ''becoming one'', implying that she follows the outdated traditional belief that men are more important than women.
* {{Fingore}}: Nick is missing his two thumbs, one from a past run in from the mob and the other from getting it shot off as Harley is saving him from the mob in the present.
* FormerlyFat: Sharon used to be overweight.
* HateSink: Nick is a gambling addict who asked his teenage daughter to throw a gymnastics competition so he could win a bet he placed against her, has been in and out of prison for Harley's entire life, and hired assassins to kill his daughter so he can collect the bounty money on her head to pay off his debts. Even with some of this PlayedForLaughs, he is a despicable human being and treats Harley just as badly as the Joker did, except he's ''her father''. Her mother Sharon turns out to be no better.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** Nick and Sharon plead with Harley to not hurt them; Nick states that "family don't kill each other" right after he tried to kill his own daughter for money.
** Similarly, Sharon blames Harleen and her transformation into Harley Quinn for making her and Nick the laughing stock of their neighborhood, but thinks nothing of the possibility of Nick being such a deadbeat being the real reason. She even says Harley always had bad taste in men. Harley calls her out on both of these.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Nick and Sharon are initially presented as deeply flawed parents who nonetheless seemingly still care about Harley deep down. Then it's revealed that they tipped off assassins to ''kill their own daughter'' just to collect a finder's fee.
* JewishMother: Up to eleven. Sharon complains that all she wanted was what every Jewish mother wants; for Harleen to marry a doctor, while wiping the blood off a knife pulled from a body. Harley pointing out that she ''is'' a doctor doesn't deter her mother, either.
* KarmaHoudini: While Nick loses his remaining thumb and gets beaten to a pulp, the only comeuppance Sharon gets is having some of her property destroyed and being given a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and Harley decides that they're NotWorthKilling.
* KosherNostra: Sortof. While not exactly a mobster himself, Nick's entire life seems to revolve around them.
* LackOfEmpathy: It's very telling that despite their daughter's own flaws, she has people she honestly cares about and has some lines left that she doesn't intend to cross. They, on the other hand are manipulative, shameless monsters who care for nothing and nobody, to the point that they didn't give a hoot when even ''their own parents'' got offed right in front of them.
* {{Matricide}}: While it isn't clear whose mother she is, Harley's grandmother dies from the actions of Harley's parents trying to kill their daughter.
* NoAccountingForTaste: Nick is a deadbeat who gets gets repeatedly thrown in jail for crimes and debts. Every time he's released from prison, Sharon takes him back without question, much to Harley's disgust.
* NotSoDifferent: Both invoked and subverted. Harley admits she has bad taste in men like her mother, ''but'' she is not a deadbeat and traitor like her father.
* OffingTheOffspring: They try to kill their own daughter after finding out there was a million dollar bounty on her.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Their son and Harley's brother, Barry, died in his teens.
* ParentalBetrayal: Right after they make Harley think they love her and welcome her into their home, they outright try to kill her to collect her bounty.
* {{Patricide}}: While it isn't clear whose father he is, Harley's grandfather dies from the actions of Harley's parents trying to kill their daughter.
* PetTheDog: Sharon admits that she only wanted to do what was best for Harley in the most passive aggressive way she could. She probably felt that when Harley became a criminal, she was a lost cause. It kind of helps that Harley was angrier and more hateful toward her father than her mother.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: They're both highly sexist, never having encouraged Harley's dream of being president because she's a woman and only wanting her to marry a doctor despite her ''being'' one. They're both also extremely prejudiced towards the Irish.
* RealityEnsues:
** Being the parents of a supervillainess/supervillain's tramp tends to lower your social status.
** Also, they're just normal people up against the Joker's former henchwoman, there was no way they could last against her, even with hired assassins.
* TheSociopath: Potentially both of them. Nick more obviously since he is a conman who puts his own skin before his daughter's dreams and even tries to have her killed. While Sharon is nicer, she drops the facade once Harley fails to die after the second assassination attempt and seems to have a very controlling view of her daughter's life. Both put on the mask of caring about Harley while still secretly plotting to have her killed to collect on the bounty for her. Also, neither of them seems particularly perturbed by their own parents getting killed in front of them.
* VillainsWantMercy: They try to kill Harley and beat her bloody to get a million dollars. When Harley gets the upper hand and holds a cutter on Nick's neck, they pathetically beg her to spare them because they're "family". Harley is so disgusted that she deems them NotWorthKilling.
* WalkingSpoiler: Their ParentalBetrayal is the big twist of their debut episode.
