Harley Quinn: The Animated Series

Not that I'm not disagreeing with you but could you please refrain from saying any variation of the R-word?

Yeah, I can do that. Apologies.

Honestly I'm sick of Harley Quinn and Deadpool both. There are plenty of other characters who deserve a show more than ones who already get a ton of attention in damn near everything.

You sorta answered it yourself. Harley and Deadpool are getting shows because they're so popular.

Oh yeah I get that, I just don't like it. I mean would it kill someone to make a Ms. Marvel animated show?

I'm still surprised no one has done anything with a Wonder Woman animated series.

The animated film flopped. That’s probably why.

Which sucks.

Yeah, you're right. I thought it was good. :)

If Wonder Woman will continue being the only good DCEU movie, they might finally cave in.

Don't get me wrong, I love Harley, but at this rate, the exposure is getting a bit overrated.

@Beatman Not anymore than the recent Batman movies. Yet, we keep getting spammed with them.

When WW bombed, the edict was they could only do team movies or have Superman and Batman as the star. No idea if that’s still there.

The hell are you on about? Wonder Woman is the highest-grossing film in the DCEU as well as the best-loved by critics. There is no possible definition by which the film can be considered to have "bombed".

They're talking about the animated Wonder Woman movie.

I think he means animated movies. Seriously, just look at the list of titles and see how many of them don't have words "Superman", "Justice League" or "Batman" in them.

Oh. That makes more sense.

It is somewhat baffling that wb has done so little to cash in on Wonder Woman's newfound prominence, in or out of the comics. I strongly think they were not expecting her solo movie to be nearly as huge a hit as it was, and certainly not to the extent that it would be considered the lone bright spot of the franchise.

Yeah, I meant the 2009 animated one.

The wonder woman animated film was alright. It wasn't great, it wasn't bad.

That said, I prefer no Wonder Woman TV Series, than one made badly.

Which is one of my worries with this. That it's gonna suck, coz it's made by the people who made Powerless, and it's going to send the (false) signal to networks that people don't want a show about a female comic book character as the main protagonist. Coz networks are great at picking the wrong lesson from failure. "It's not that we asked hacks to make the show, it's that there's something wrong with the concept/genre"

We could. But we could also complain about why Martian Manhunter doesn’t have an animated show. Answer: not enough materials/villains to work with for a season long show. And besides, do you really want a Ms. Marvel show considering Marvel’s current animation quality?

But as for DC works that would make great shows:

• Plastic Man: Seriously, we can all agree this guy deserves another cartoon.
• Doom Patrol: Has a great cast of characters, plenty of history/material to work with, and a good set of villains to deal with. I really
• Starman: Yep, a full on adaption of the James Robinson comics. Would make a great mature cartoon over Harley Quinn.
• Captain Marvel: Seriously, why the hell this character not have a cartoon for kids yet? Especially if it draws inspirations from that Jeff Smith comic retelling of the hero’s origin.
• Flash, Wonder Woman and Aquaman: All three of them didn’t have an animated series of their own like the other three members. I didn’t mentioned Martian Manhunter because I feel he works better in groups rather than as a solo hero.
• Zatanna: Why not? It would make fun show dealing with the magic side of the DC Universe.
• Blue Bettle: Again why not? Even more so if it just focus on only the Charlton heroes (Question, Captain Atom, Nightshade). I will also be amazed if said show does a parody to Watchman. For that matter . . .
• Justice League International: . . . wait, I think Batman The Brave and The Bold did an unofficial adaption of that team in the show. God how I miss that show.
• Teen Titans: Yep a new Teen Titans series. The catch however is that its focused on the team led by The Atom. So yeah, this show will double as an unoffical Atom cartoon series. So expect the team fighting his villains like Chronos (who I hope is remade as a Nox like villain).
• New Gods: Definitely would be DC’s ambitious project if they made animated adaption on the whole Fourth World stories made by Jack Kirby. It would be the Game of Thrones for western animation.

I hope James Tucker gets to do a Wonder Woman project. He's been REALLY wanting to do a series or even do an animated movie about her for a long while.

I made a page for it, if anyone's interested.

That's a lot of mights and maybes but overall good job.

A blue beetle show would be awesome.
