Harley Quinn trolls DC with the What If…? hashtag over the controversy surrounding the decision to cut a scene in which Batman performs oral sex on Catwoman. Disney+’s latest series taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is an animated one, exploring alternate versions of key events and characters. The pilot saw Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) take the Super Soldier Serum instead of Steve Rogers and next week’s episode is set to see Black Panther’s T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) become Star-Lord.

Not unlike What If…?, the animated series Harley Quinn takes a very different approach to its story and characters. Developed by Dean Lorey, Justin Halpern, and Patrick Schumacker, Harley Quinn follows its titular character (Kaley Cuoco) and Poison Ivy’s (Lake Bell) misadventures after the former breaks up with The Joker (Alan Tudyk). The pair are joined by a slew of iconic DC characters including Batman (Diedrich Baker), Commissioner Gordon (Christopher Meloni), The Penguin (Wayne Knight), and Lex Luthor (Giancarlo Esposito). Back in June, it was revealed that DC blocked a scene where Batman performed oral sex on Catwoman because “heroes don’t do that.” The resulting viral debate about the Dark Knight’s sex life prompted responses from people like Val Kilmer and Zack Snyder.

Following the premiere of Marvel’s What If…?#WhatIf has been trending on Twitter. In addition to fans discussing and/or commenting on aspects of “What If...Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?,” the official account of Harley Quinn decided to subtly troll DC over the Batman sex debate.

Harley Quinn’s use of the What If…? hashtag, concerning the new animated comic book series in town, is very much in line with the show’s humor. The series has received critical acclaim for its dark humor, especially due to its fresh take on well-known characters. It doesn’t hold back on the violence or profanity and is known for deserving its adult rating. Harley Quinn is seemingly a series without limits and with endless possibilities—sometimes even parodying Marvel—which is why the decision to make Batman a selfish lover, so to speak, was so surprising.

Harley Quinn has been on HBO Max since its DC Universe cancellation. Its first two seasons are available on HBO Max and the third season is set to premiere later this year. That said, Marvel’s What If…? is already getting rave reviews and, while its PG-13 rating pales in comparison to the content of Harley Quinn, the show aims to give audiences something they haven’t seen before.
