History Recap / TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE16HarleysHoliday

* RedemptionFailure: Harley Quinn is pronounced sane and released from Arkham, and plans to live as a law-abiding citizen. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding while purchasing clothes make her think she's being arrested even when she's doing nothing wrong, and she goes on an actual crime spree to avoid getting caught. Veronica's army General father on the other hand, goes full PapaWolf, even driving a freaking tank through the city to "save" his daughter from Harely.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Both Gordon and Batman deduce Harely's actions are simply due to her being overwhelmed after being released from Arkham and isn't acting out of malice.

* ComedicallyMissingThePoint: Harely assumes on her first day out that she's drawing stares because of her choice of outfit, rather than because she's out walking with two Hyena's.

* ComediaclyMissingThePoint: Harely assumes on her first day out that she's drawing stares because of her choice of outfit, rather than because she's out walking with two Hyena's.

* ForWantOfANail: Kidnapping, property damage, a freaking ''tank'' rolling through Gotham, blasting craters into the street... Who knew one little dress going on sale could end up causing so much trouble?

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Under the guilty but mentally ill verdict (which is what Harley would have been most likely sentenced with considering that Arkham was built for the ''criminally'' insane), Harley would have been transferred to Blackgate Penitentiary to serve the remainder of her sentence upon being declared sane, circumventing the events of this episode altogether.[[note]]Unless helping Batman in "Harlequinade" earned her an early release.[[/note]]

* MythologyGag: During her final confrontation with Batman, Harley uses a line once famously professed by her puddin':

* WhiteAndGreyMorality: While Batman and Robin are definitely good, It's made very clear that Harley is ''not'' evil, just scared and confused. The same goes for General Vreeland, who is just [[PapaWolf trying to get his daughter back.]] While there are a few mobsters in the episode who are straight up evil, most are OneSceneWonder s and fairly unimportant to the story.

-->'''Batman:''' Don't press your luck.

* ForcefulKiss: Harley surprises Batman with sweet peck on the mouth before opting for a longer, more passionate smooch and, he's so taken aback by what's happening, that Bats doesn't resist.
