'Harley Quinn' Season 3 Episode 2 Preview: With Catwoman joining show, it's a Gotham City Siren reunion
With the Penguin (Wayne Knight) dead and the Riddler (Jim Rash) captured, it's time for Harley Quinn (Kaley Cuoco) to focus on the rest of the Injustice League. To do that, she enlists professional burglar Catwoman (Sanaa Lathan) to help her retrieve an important artifact from a booby-trapped museum on the next episode of 'Harley Quinn.'
The official synopsis for the episode states: "Harley and Ivy team up with Catwoman to steal an artifact from a museum that's been booby-trapped by none other than Dr Trap; Dr Psycho tries to prove himself as a leader, which Riddler exploits as an opportunity to escape."
The triumvirate of female Gotham villains unites for the first time on the series. Popularly known as the Gotham City Sirens, the trio is a force to be reckoned with in the comics, but their dynamic on the show may be a different thing altogether.
Showrunners Patrick Schumacker and Justin Halpern talked about what that dynamic is like, in an earlier interview with Entertaintainment Weekly, saying, "We ended up making her someone who Ivy actually looks up to. Ivy is so cynical, Ivy doesn’t care about much either, but she cares about Catwoman’s approval. That was the comedic game that we played with those characters. Harley’s watching Ivy, like, melt in front of Catwoman because she’s so ****ing cool. That was really fun to play with."
Dr Trap (Alan Tudyk) is a classic DC Comics villain, emblematic of the silliness that the Silver Age embraced. As his name would suggest, he is extremely good at traps and is in good company with the elaborately themed intellectuals of the Gotham City villains like the Riddler (Jim Rash), who has escaped Arkham enough times and is a tough man to keep in captivity. Even with the full range of his psychic abilities, it's going to be a real battle of wits between the Riddler and Doctor Psycho (Tony Hale) as Psycho attempts to keep the Riddler from breaking free.
What is Harley seeking to liberate from Dr Trap's museum? Will Psycho be able to successfully keep the Riddler locked up? Find out, on the next episode of 'Harley Quinn.'
The next episode of 'Harley Quinn' airs April 17 on DC Universe.
