One of the things I really like about the Marvel approach is they don't take themselves too seriously. All the Marvel movies are fun.

DC, on the other hand, has a more serious tone more often than not, in my experience, and while I enjoy that as well, I tend to like my fantasy to be a little tongue in cheek.

Enter Harley Quinn!

Here's a quick taste from S1:04.

I think this is my favorite episode. It's a non-stop laugh riot. This clip is the intro and it only gets better.

Aside from how refreshing it is to see DC characters in a Deadpool atmosphere, I'm also very pleased with the choices of supporting characters. All are pretty hilarious, but King Shark in particular is just delightful. I love how they play on his shark attributes in subtle ways, such as always having a full set of teeth even though he likely got one (or more) knocked out in the last scene.

Let's take a quick look then feel free to try to convince me you don't think he's adorable. Hint: You can't.

Clayface is another surprise that I imagine is nothing at all like any other rendition of the character. His love for his art often gets in the way of his ability to focus on the task at hand, and while I like Dr. Psycho the least, I do appreciate his commitment to evil.

Last but not least...

Poison Ivy

I love what they've done with this character. Everything about her is wonderful. She's the anchor that keeps the show grounded, even if she can't quite do the same for Harley. I could go on a day long rant about it, but I'd just end up spoiling the shit out of it, so I'm gonna stop and let you go check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
