The first trailer for Harley Quinn Season 5 swaps Gotham for Metropolis

It’s Gotham a rare pleasant place to live, whether you’re happily married or otherwise, and Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy learn that fun the hard way in their next adventure season. A one-way ticket to Metropolis…just in time for Brainiac’s invasion.Maybe the grass is greener, or it’s just the glow of kryptonite.

Today, Max revealed our first extended look Harley Quinnnext season ahead of its broadcast release next month, giving us an insight Harley and Ivy’s wedded bliss only slightly dampened by the utter chaos they experience as comic book characters living in Gotham City.And so it’s lit by the bright lights of another big city as the duo head towards Metropolis.

of course some The chaos that ensues is Harley and Ivy’s doing (and at least a few of their friends who come to visit their fancy Metropolis pad), but really it’s mostly because Superman’s city is the same kind of chaos.
