The animated Harley Quinn show is obviously a superhero, or rather, a supervillain show, so naturally it has some epic fight scenes. Some involve villains against heroes, villains against villains, or there is simply some wacky situation that the main character Harley must either create or escape from.
These fights are always fun, animated very well, and can either add comedy or drama to the show. Usually, the battles are humorous, but some manage to add real emotional stakes. Either way, a number of fights stand out amongst the rest.
Batman, Batgirl, And The Macaroni Vs Bane - "Batman's Back, Man"
Batman makes his return after getting incredibly injured at the end of season 1. In this episode, he dons a mechanical suit and attempts to battle Bane. But despite Bane being a very funny and sensitive villain in the show, he is an incredible fighter and beats Batman down viciously. The fight is brutal, but Bane is still incredibly funny, which is what makes this battle so memorable.
Luckily, Batgirl and Alfred, who has donned the superhero identity of "The Macaroni," are there to help him out. Since this is the first time viewers are really introduced to Alfred, it's great seeing him fend off some bad guys. Batman obviously got his crime-fighting skills from him.
Poison Ivy Vs The Joker And The Queen Of Fables - "Devil's Snare"
The Queen of Fables is one of the most underrated villains in Harley Quinn, and in this scuffle, she manages to show just how powerful she is. She makes trees grow massively, to the point where Poison Ivy has to become massive herself in order to fight them off.
Giant Ivy is an epic sight, even though throughout the battle she is very conflicted, as she is harming the things she swears to protect. She still defeats them in the end, but soon after she is shot through the chest by the Queen of Fables and the Joker, and it seems like she dies from the injury. It's a very scary moment.
Harley Quinn Escapes The Penguin - "New Gotham"
At the beginning of season 2, things go downhill for Harley really quickly. She is frozen in ice and kept in the Penguin's lair. Eventually, her team is able to rescue her, and this results in a very fun and bloody escape sequence. Harley, still encased in ice, slides around corridors, slamming into henchmen and watching as her team fights off even more enemies.
The rumble ends with a face-off between the Penguin and Harley, in which he shoots grenades at her, she bites off his nose, and finally, she kills him by stabbing her bat through his throat. Their altercation is covered in smoke, fire, and blood, which makes it feel very intense.
Harley Quinn's Team Vs Doctor Psycho And The Parademons - "Dye Hard"
This brawl includes a triad of villains but also many of the show's most wholesome characters, which gives it a funny and juxtaposing dynamic. The skirmish remains dramatic in terms of the plot though, as Doctor Psycho betrays Harley and her crew after feeling that he has not been appreciated enough. He now controls all the parademons and the team must fight them off.
What makes this so memorable is that it has lasting consequences. Borgman dies, sacrificing himself to blow up the dome. The death scene is sad but also funny, maintaining the show's dark sense of humor, as he shoots himself into the sky, yelling loudly, "I REGRET LOTS OF THINGS!"
Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, And Kite Man Vs The Legion Of Doom - "A High Bar"
This match happens during a bar mitzvah, which is one of the funniest moments in the whole Harley Quinn series. There are kids and families present, but that doesn't stop a large number of villains from scrapping. Harley and Ivy manage to fight off Two-Face and Scarecrow relatively easily, while Kite Man has a little more trouble with Bane, to hilarious results.
The fight culminates in the Joker trying to shoot Harley, which he can't due to Ivy standing in front of the gun. The Joker whines about the power of "female friendship," but backs off when Ivy shows the extent of her power. It's heartfelt, exciting, and funny all at the same time.
The Justice League and Harley Quinn Vs Poison Ivy, King Shark, Clayface, And Doctor Psycho - "Lover's Quarrel"
This arc in season 2 is the first time audiences really get to see the full Justice League trio in action. They fend off multiple members of Harley's team, showing off their powers in epic and funny ways.
What makes the combat even more interesting is that Harley's team, including Poison Ivy, is being controlled by Doctor Psycho, so Harley is torn between fighting her and saving her. She has to team up with the Justice League, which makes for a dynamic scene. The confrontation culminates with Ivy using her love potion on the Justice League, and they hilariously all become attracted to one another, leaving Harley to finish the fight on her own.
Harley Quinn Vs The Joker - "The Final Joke"
The Joker and Harley obviously go way back, so any squabble between the pair is automatically interesting to watch. In the season 1 finale, the two attempt to erase the other from existence in order to stop feeling attached to one another. They attempt to fake love for each other to create a distraction, and then they both attack.
This throwdown includes them stabbing each other, slamming each other into glass walls and floors, and trying to shove each other into vats of acid. It also includes one of Harley Quinn's funniest quotes, the Joker's line of "Do you take me for a Basic B*tch?" which makes this scene stand out overall.
Harley Quinn Vs Poison Ivy - "Lover's Quarrel"
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy's relationship is the emotional core of the entire series, and by this point, it has developed from friendship to attraction and love. However, when Ivy is mind-controlled by Doctor Psycho, the pair must battle to the death. Granted, Harley is more so trying to save Ivy from the mind-control, but Ivy is making that very hard.
It's upsetting to watch two people who care about each other brutally attack one another. Not that it doesn't look cool; it's filled with a lot of interesting moves from both parties. But thankfully the conflict is resolved by the show's version of "True Love's Kiss," which cements the pair's relationship as a powerful force.
Harley Quinn's Team Vs Batman Vs The Joker - "Finding Mr. Right"
This clash is chaotic in all the right ways, as it involves three separate opponents scrapping with one another. Harley attempts to draw out Batman in order to have him see her as a nemesis. This works, though she quickly has trouble fighting him off, so Ivy shows up to help. Things get even crazier when the Joker arrives, jealous that Batman's attention has been drawn away, and a wild brawl begins.
Each party throws their own respective talents into the mix, and it's funny to see how Harley and the Joker want Batman's attention, Batman wants to stop them, and Ivy just wants to go home. And this all happens on a morning talk show, making the set-up hilarious.
Harley Quinn Breaks Up With The Joker - "Til Death Do Us Part"
The very first episode showed audiences that this was going to be an epic series, as the battle between Harley, the Joker, and his minions is incredible to watch. Harley comes into her own and finally makes a stand against her abusive ex. He does not take this well and orders his men to kill her. This doesn't work though, as with her new weapon of a baseball bat, she is able to fight them all off, even hitting the bombs they throw at her like baseballs.
She literally sends the Joker's world crashing down on him, and she vows that he will watch her run Gotham City one day. It's a triumphant moment, in an overall triumphant melee.
