Produced by Warner Bros. Animation from an original story spawned by animation icon Bruce Timm, \u201cBatman and Harley Quinn\u201d finds Poison Ivy and Jason Woodrue (a.k.a. The Floronic Man) embarking on an ecological quest to save the planet \u2013 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\u2019s BFF and frequent partner-in-crime. But Batman\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Home Entertainment Vice President, Family and Animation Marketing. \u201cAudiences nationwide turned the screenings into true interactive experiences, and we believe \u2018Batman and Harley Quinn\u2019 will inspire a similar night of celebration.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
