With itsupcoming move to HBO Max , the R - ratedHarley Quinn serial publication ’ third time of year has a chance to both continue telling one of the most heartfelt ( though gory ) stories about its titular antiheroine and her mob of villain hoodlum and potentiallyhit even harderthan DC Universe might have allowed .
Though it ’s not clear just when Harley Quinn ’s creative squad will really start out yield , co - Godhead Patrick Schumacker and Justin Halpern already have a couple of solid - ass estimate as to where to take things that wo n’t just be another swear - filled rehash of what the show ’s already done . In a recent interview withDeadline , the duet explained how — after explore what it mean to get out of a toxic relationship , and then following that up with a Harley - centric discharge about how one go about seek out what it is they truly require in a quixotic better half — they envision Harley Quinn taking a minute to pivot to Harleen ’s young ( and arguably most appropriate)love interest : Poison Ivy .

“ We spent two age digging into Harley , and Ivy was her own character , but her taradiddle were told mostly in relation to Harley , ” Halpern said . “ So , I recollect in this third time of year , it ’d be interesting to leaf that , and dig deeper into Ivy and her living , and enjoin some stories through her point of view . ”
Beyond Ivy , though , Schumacker and Halpern both see big opportunities to beam more light on Harley Quinn ’s higher - profile back part like Jim Gordon , particularly give how the GCPD ’s rampant corruption smacks very heavily of the kinds of real - earthly concern law savagery that ’s dominated the newsworthiness hertz for the preceding few years especially . In add-on to Schumacker ’s impression that they ’ve got an chance to caricature some of the recent demonstration of police force being entirely out of jot with ( and having lost the trust of ) their communities , in Gordon , Halpern see a chance to call into question how a cop conciliate with the idea that their organization has completely permit a urban center down .
“ It ’s like having Gordon deal out with the reality of , policing in Gotham has completely failed , and him realise , ‘ What is this newfangled system that we need to put in , for efficaciously police Gotham , ’ and is he even capable of it , ” Halpern explain . “ Because the system is so fucked up . Gotham ’s a terrible position to live . I intend , if you call back of all of the cities in comic book traditional knowledge , can you think of a bad major city to live in than Gotham ? ”
With the covid-19 pandemic still give the manufacture an organizational pummeling , it ’s not exactly clean when Harley Quinn might end up debuting , but Halpern and Schumacker hope to see it premiere at some period in 2021 on HBO Max .
