Harley Goes Ape!

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

When Gorilla Grodd takes control over the giant chimpanzee Titano, the only person who seems to be able to override his control is the medical worker who nursed him as a chimp at S.T.A.R. Labs. Unfortunately, she’s now known as Harley Quinn. As Superman wears a lead suit when going up against Titano’s Kryptonite gaze, Stargirl must help Harley Quinn free Titano so that Superman and Stargirl can defeat Gorilla Grodd.

Our Take

A goofy premise that mostly earns its runtime, thanks to Harley being genuinely funny rather than just loud. Her history with Titano gives the comedy a small emotional core, and the lead-suit Superman bits are a nice touch. Stargirl gets sidelined more than she should, but the pacing is quick enough that it never drags. A light, enjoyable half hour worth a watch if you like Harley.
