black butler season 2 episode 13 english dub

There are plenty of rib-tickling scenarios along the way - for instance, their first real “talk” as a couple happens aboard Wonder Woman’s invisible jet (so essentially, in mid-air), which they’ve stolen and used to kidnap Queen Elizabeth (Kari Wahlgren) - but their early relationship issues make a shocking amount of sense. Instead, the duo’s relationship remains front and center, and as usual, the writers don’t make it easy for them. It’s as tongue-in-cheek as you can get when reintroducing the often dour DC Universe, and it appears to be a mere pitstop on what the couple has taken to calling their “Eat Bang Kill” tour.Ĭue a globetrotting montage of violence and robbery and revelry, with an especially striking image of the couple lying naked in a bed of money, and you have yourself a vision of the low-stakes, “be gay, do crimes” show that could have been. They’re lounging around in Superman’s “no girls allowed” Fortress of Solitude before a hologram of his late father, the role made famous by Marlon Brando, tells them off. What’s especially interesting is that Harley and Ivy (now dubbed “Harlivy,” the episode’s title, though they seem to prefer “Hivy”) are the ones watching the X-rated send-up.

It’s a fakeout, though, as what we’re seeing is quickly revealed to be a porn parody. The adult animated series, now a fixture of HBO Max (as opposed to the now-defunct DC Universe service where it originally premiered), begins with a Harley/Ivy sex scene. You might not expect that level of nuance from the raunchy way the episode opens, however. The result - while as unrelentingly zany as you’d expect - is surprisingly nuanced! Luckily, our favorite supervillain got picked up for a third season after all, allowing the showrunners to explore what happens when the dynamic wacka-duo’s Bonnie and Clyde/ Thelma & Louise joyride doesn’t end in disaster. When Harley Quinn’s phenomenal second season ended, the series hadn’t been renewed, so it hedged its bets with closing images that could have worked as a series finale: a newly reconciled and romantically entangled Harley (Kaley Cuoco) and Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) driving off into the sunset, riding in a “Just Married” car meant for Ivy and C-list villain Kite Man, with the police on their tails.
