Review of Batman and Harley Quinn (2017) by Kyle M — 25 Aug 2017

The goal was to put Harley Quinn into the spotlight, while the main assets is going back to the DC animated universe with the same style, tone and voice actors, namely the dynamic duo. The assets worked like a charm as the main source of the enjoyment, including the talented performances and Harley Quinn's spotlight that emphasizes her character. So the goal got achieved by good intentions and understanding, as well some humor along the way. Unfortunately, those qualities got squandered as the film faltered by its own writing, both story and the script being in the driver's seat with the tiresome lead between the passenger's seat and backseat. The balancing scale never settled as the film went further, especially occasionally gone out of narrative focus. On the bright side, besides being watchable still, it didn't set the low bar for the hero's filmography. (B-).
