DC Animated Film Batman and Harley Quinn to Release This August

Batman, Nightwing, and Harley Quinn, a trio destined to be together.  Well, maybe not destined.  In the new DC Animated movie, written by Bruce Timm, the unlikely trio must unite to stave off an attack from former bestie Poison Ivy and her new partner The Floronic Man.  The latest trailer for Batman and Harley Quinn is chock-full of quirky jokes and plant punching you’ve come to expect.

In Batman and Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and Jason Woodrue (a.k.a. The Floronic Man) embark on an ecological quest to save the planet – and, unfortunately, eliminate most of humankind along the way. To save humanity, Batman and Nightwing are forced to enlist Harley Quinn to catch Poison Ivy, Harley’s BFF and frequent partner-in-crime. But Batman’s patience is put to the test by the unpredictable and untrustworthy Harley during the twists and turns the reluctant companions face during their bumpy road trip. The result is a thrill ride of action, adventure and comedy no Batman fan has seen before.

Batman and Harley Quinn will reunite Kevin Conroy (Batman) with Loren Lester (Nightwing) and welcome Big Bang Theory star Melissa Rauch as Harley Quinn.
