The plot: Harley Quinn (KALEY CUOCO) has taken down the Joker (ALEX TUDYK) and Gotham City is finally hers for the taking…whatever’s left of it that is. Gotham has become a desolate wasteland, left in ruins, following the huge earthquake caused by the collapse of Joker’s tower. Harley’s celebration in this newly created chaos is cut short when Penguin (WAYNE KNIGHT), Bane, Mr. Freeze, The Riddler, and Two-Face join forces to restore order in the criminal underworld. Calling themselves the Injustice League, this group now stands in the way of Harley and her crew from taking sole control of Gotham as the top villains of the city.

The plot: Harley Quinn has taken down the Joker and Gotham City is finally hers for the taking…whatever’s left of it that is. Gotham has become a desolate wasteland, left in ruins, following the huge earthquake caused by the collapse of Joker’s tower. Harley’s celebration in this newly created chaos is cut short when PenguinBaneMr. FreezeThe Riddler and Two Face join forces to restore order in the criminal underworld. Calling themselves the Injustice League, this group now stands in the way of Harley and her crew from taking sole control of Gotham as the top villains of the city.

Pros: This newest season was a lot funniest than last season. I was surprised how this season focus on the relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, and also I was surprised on how much Harley interacted with other characters, Commissioner James Gordon had a biggest role in this season, A lot of heartfelt & action-packed moments to our favourite villains & the ending does leave who thinking “what’s going to happen in season 3”.   

Cons: Some changes to characters that I wasn’t a fan of, Batgirl was underused, I was sad for kite man & sadly I can’t watch this newest season or last season on either the DC Universe service or the HBO MAX service here in the UK.

I recommend watching this new season on wherever you can find it on.

Rating: 9 out of 10 Stars
