Harley Quinn Plot and Cast
In Season 2, Gotham has descended into chaos, allowing the newly-formed Injustice League consisting of the Penguin, the Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Two-Face, and Bane to take over the city’s ruins. After they refuse to let Harley join them, she works with her crew to take them down one by one in order to claim Gotham for herself, in the process unwittingly inspiring Barbara Gordon to become Batgirl.
Meanwhile, both the Joker and Batman are revealed to be alive; albeit with the former now sane and with no memory of his old self while the latter, unable to fight crime due to his injuries, names Batgirl his temporary replacement as Gotham’s defender until he recovers. Following the Injustice League’s defeat, Commissioner Gordon restores order to Gotham while Harley begins to develop feelings for Ivy.
Doctor Psycho leaves the crew to exact revenge on Harley for under-appreciating him, and manages to take over Gotham with a Parademon army he obtained from Darkseid. To stop him, Harley joins forces with the Justice League, Gordon, and the Joker; reluctantly restoring the latter back to his former self in the process. Although Psycho is defeated in the end, he retaliates by revealing Harley and Ivy had sex right before the latter’s wedding with Kite Man.
Though Ivy and Kite Man attempt to continue on, Gordon, annoyed that he did not receive any recognition for saving Gotham, attempts to bust their wedding. Amidst the chaos, Kite Man realizes Ivy does not love him and breaks up with her. While escaping from the police together, Ivy finally admits her feelings for Harley.
Talking about the cast, we should get to see Kaley Cuoco, Lake Bell, Alan Tudyk, Tony Hale, Ron Funches, Jason Alexander and J.B. Smoove in the lead roles.
