New promotional art for Harley Quinn teases the titular anti-hero potentially stepping into the role of Gotham City’s protector.
Posted to the show’s official Twitter account, the image includes the Bat Signal shining up onto the clouds above Gotham City but instead of the Bat Symbol many fans have to expect, the silhouette is of Harley’s pig-tailed head. “Gotham deserves a little better than a boring @$$ bat, don’t ya think?” reads the caption, written from the perspective of Harley herself. At the time of writing, it’s currently unknown if this image is a hint at a possible storyline included in Season 4 or simply a fun graphic to promote the upcoming installment.
Max’s Harley Quinn show is one of the platform’s most popular animated series, earning plenty of praise from both fans and critics alike. The story follows the titular character as she embarks on a quest to establish her notoriety as one of the DC Universe’s most prolific criminals. Together with her girlfriend Poison Ivy and her crew of reject supervillains, she hatches many plans to become the most respected crook in town.
Harley’s Future Adventures
Details on Harley Quinn Season 4 are still scarce but one aspect the series aims to explore deeper is Poison Ivy’s role in the Legion of Doom. Having ascended as the leader of the group’s Gotham City branch, the new episodes will examine what that means for her on a personal level and how her new responsibilities will impact her relationship with Harley. Showrunner Patrick Schumacker heaped praise on writer Sarah Peters who was largely responsible for realizing Season 4. “Her grasp of Ivy and her ideas are things we certainly would never think of, and I’m really excited for people to get to see that,” Schumaker said.
Fans looking for more Harley Quinn before Season 4 drops can check out Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special, a unique episode that spotlights the love of the DC Universe that still manages to be as silly as audiences have come to expect. “Specifically, the scene where Bane is working with a dominatrix. We just threw in everything we could — if you’re gonna do a special, you gotta make it special!” explained showrunner Justin Halpern.
Harley Quinn Season 4 is expected to premiere on Max in the summer of 2023.
