Harley Quinn & The Joker: Sound Mind

In this podcast they attempted a character study of Harley Quinn, but I am left scratching my head feeling that the writers do not know the core of who Harley Quinn actually is. It portrays a stupider and less compelling character. I love these comic book characters more than most and for that reason my enjoyment for this podcast is lacking. It seems that, in the minds of the writers, the only way to make Harley a compelling character was to lower the IQ of all the other characters most notably with the Joker. The thought that male characters have to be dumbed down so the female character can be smart is just - flawed to say the least. Joker and Batman have never been more stupid (even in the hilarious Lego Batman movie.) If Batman and the Joker were as brilliant as they usually are it would make Harley a much better character if she overcame them. What they tried to do simply did not work. It comes off like the studio was trying to quickly capitalize on their female lead without reading the script itself. I wish it was better, but sadly it is what it is.
