I like this show

[@JJO902]

The hilarious, ironic, and sad part is this is probably the most realistic interpretation of James Gordon we have ever gotten.

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

Have you seen _Gotham By Gaslight,_ by any chance?

[@OlPalJoe]

@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps I'd say that's more subversive than realistic

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

@@OlPalJoe Not when we compare it to people like Henry Hubbard Jr., San Diego PD, and Daniel Holtzclaw, Oklahoma City PD (which I got from the bottom of a TVTropes page).

[@OlPalJoe]

@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps i mean subversive for Jim Gordon's character not so much the concept of cops lol.

[@OlPalJoe]

@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps idealized cop/normal Gordon meets the evils and insanity of Gotham with kind the same grounded, wise, good guy demeanor the character has. realistically, having all that shit happen to you in your city would make you an unstable, jumpy, hyper vigilant and impotent cop. Subversive is making the good guy Jim Gordan face a mask for Jack the Ripper

[@Minotaur1975]

The thing I love about this show is there's absolutely no wasted dialogue. Everything either advances the plot or is a joke, or both

[@Katiekinney23]

The ending bit where King Shark goes ballistic and rages at them is honestly one of the funniest tv moments I’ve ever seen, I literally laughed myself to tears. It’s just so unexpected!

[@DoomBowser64]

King Shark is my Spirit animal

[@trxppyedits2155]

Fr i literally had to rewind that scene a few times

[@adrianax182]

every time i think of king shark I think of this scene 😂

[@KuroMaster90]

This double joke with King Shark at the police station is a killer hahaha. The first side of the joke: It's Ron Funches (a black actor) who lends his voice to King Shark, he is tried, convicted and sent to prison on the same day. The second side of the joke: people panic at the sight of a shark, while their dangerousness is only accentuated by the stories people tell each other (there is very little death from shark attacks). And of course the "N" word in prison, change to fish or other with a same sense.

[@PerovNigma]

The third side of the joke: the GCPD is shown to be effective.

[@mrroboshadow]

Also he's Gordon. The best cop,so that's a lot more stress on him

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@ZyroShadowPony A damn good cop.

[@robert_bbiii]

@@ZyroShadowPony that is the part. Only honest one there is. He had two choices be corrupted or become bitter One of the things I love about the show is the comedy is all in character. It makes total sense to have Gordon like this

[@Martin_Daniel]

Crazy villains, corrupt cops, shitty prison system, terrible Arkham security, a cheating wife, a paralyzed daughter, possibly a serial killer son... Jim has it hard every day.

[@javiervillanueva7016]

I think so. In the concept art they have, he’s actually adorable and just waving. So, probably really nice but a killer

[@joshyan1458]

Honestly after watching this show and rewatching some older Batman content, I can't believe Jim Gordon hasn't been depicted this way before (that i've seen or heard of, at least) he's the chief of police in a city with impossibly high crime rates and some of the most dangerous people in the world, which also has a notoriously corrupt government, and has to rely on a mysterious dude dressed as a bat to help keep the city safe. Why wouldn't he be on the verge of a mental collapse?

[@Blackhawk211]

In The killing joke the Joker's whole purpose was to break Jim like this

[@cdubbau135]

King Shark had to have had the quickest turn around time from being brought to the police station to being taken to prison. That part was hilarious.

[@ltimmons9]

Ron Funches(King Shark) said he improvises over half the lines that make it to air

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

I believe that was the case with Vinnie in Disney's Atlantis as well.

[@gamingdemigodxiii5630]

This version of Gordon ask the question of “how long can you be police commissioner of a city whose name is synonymous with high crime, police corruption, and costumed chaos before it takes a toll on your mental health?”

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

Depends if it's a realistic world or a full-on superhero comic book world, I guess. Also, it's this hardboiled "noir" wish fulfillment thing like "REAL men don't break". ("Noir" with quotation because film noir has kind of become this dual label.)

[@joelsasmad]

@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps I mean they do break but they usually don't keep the job if they do..

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

@@joelsasmad Keep the job? You mean police officers?

[@gamingdemigodxiii5630]

@@joelsasmad True, in fact I imagine that Gordan has been dismissed multiple times up until Harley Quinn. Unfortunately, his replacements like to play the game of "bad cop, incompetent cop" and Gordon is usually asked to come out of retirement. But seeing as this is a comedy show, this is just the rule of funny.

[@MinscS2]

The synchronized :o at 1:23 was hilarious.

[@Wolf6119]

I always kinda wondered whether this episode was meant to be a bit of an homage to the Batman episode "Growing Pains", where a part of Clayface becomes detached and turns into a sentient little girl named Annie, who becomes friends with Robin. She ultimately ends up getting reabsorbed back into Clayface at the end, just like the little Hand does here, which was honestly pretty sad

[@BillFinger27]

I felt so bad for Tim Drake on that episode

[@justfresh179]

Knowing the creators of the show I feel like they honestly just did it because its so weird and funny

[@isultansultangaliev5852]

[@TJUC123]

Barbara Lee Gordon is a Gotham character. The “Lee” distinguishes her from her mother. Barbara Gordon/Batgirl is his daughter named after her mother, Barbara Eileen Kean-Gordon. Batgirl doesn’t usually have a middle name in the comics.

[@ar_reactions612]

Fun fact: in Spider-Man 3 when Spider-Man punches through Sandman, that’s a real amputate in a Spider-Man suit.

Eric, unlike with Anime, western animation does the voice record first which allows for the integration of certain quality ad-libs before the animation steps begin.

In the New Batman Adventures cartoon there was an episode Clayface lost some of his clay and it became a little girl, so yes, there is precedent for this.

[@syabilaazri7834]

That was a sad episode for Robin/ Tim Drake

[@_ripVanWinkle_]

Frankie Muniz is my favorite/stand out character of the series, I couldn't get enough but always wanted more.

[@darryljack6612]

I don't know why the conversation with Psycho's son was left out. But there are a lot funny moments, I know all of them can't fit into ten minutes.

[@lorenzogomar3617]

Gordon is straight from the Venture bros. Love it

[@anthonydean1743]

I love Christopher Meloni as Gordon. He was my favorite actor from law and order svu.

[@boiledcrap]

No one going to mention that the Wayne building has Batman-esque pointy ears? "Why do sharks have unlimited teeth and we only get one set for a few years?" Because humans didn't spend millions of years catching things with our mouths.

Harley Quinn might just be the greatest cartoon show ever!

[@nymphrodellsalavin]

They do unscripted animation sometimes. For instance: the Genie in Aladdin. That was pretty much Robin Williams ad-libbing for an hour and a half.

[@bankairocks93]

Venessa Marshall also voiced Wonder Woman!

[@antonbrakhage490]

And Hera Syndulla in Star Wars: Rebels.

[@ItsAVolcano]

For the amputee stuntmen, one of the cooler ones was the original The Thing. The defibrillator scene was done using prosthetic arms and a double amputee wearing a lookalike mask.

[@bigwxrm1738]

King Shark is the best character

[@thatssometal358]

[@darryljack6612]

[@RandomRoger]

If you guys can find it, you need to check out the show called powerless. It's by the same creators of this Harley Quinn show. It was a little ahead of itself and couldn't find an audience but it's the same type of humor.

[@UncleMilo]

Barbara Gordon the daughter was Batgirl until she was shot through the spine by Joker and then she became Oracle and joined up with Black Canary for Birds of Prey.... until they ruined all of it with the New 52 and all the bad decisions they've made at DC since.

[@YoBen100]

There is an old Batman cartoon where Robin befriends this girl in one episode who turned out to be a part of Clayface who later on reabsorbed in the end.

[@rockandrollfantasy86]

There could be a bit of ad-libbing and riffing, Rick and Morty does that and it is also animated.

[@tehdipstick]

Just a heads up, Harvey Dent was never Gordon's partner. He was Gotham's District Attorney. Yes, they both work to uphold the law, but it's still different branches. There are other good cops in Gotham as well. Sure, everyone was dirty under Commisioner Loeb, but Gordon turned things around. At this point in time there would probably other 'clean' cops around as well, like Renee Montoya and Harvey Bullock.

[@Angyali]

Well, they did push-ups together....

[@mauz4588]

The western approach to animation is to record and at least do a rough audio cut of the episode before sending it off to be animated. So it's very possible that they let the actors riff a bit, and if they like it, they put it into the audio cut that the animation will be based on.
