Episode 5 – “Batman’s Back Man”
Hilarious opening scene with two random trolls bashing Harley’s show on their TV, lamenting the fact that there isn’t enough Batman. One is wearing a shirt that says “Release The Snyder Cut” and the other’s says, “The Last Jedi is not cannon”
Ex-commissioner Gordon visits Bruce Wayne begging Batman to come back and restore order to the city. He shows video of the wannabe heroes trying to take over in Batman’s absence, including Batgirl.
Meanwhile, Two-Face and Bane are chatting about Harley Quinn becoming an additional threat to them and wondering if they should maybe join forces with her to help stave off external forces (like Batman).
Will Batman come back and restore order?
Summary
The biggest miss in this episode is a show with Harley Quinn not having any, I mean zero seconds of, Harley. Yes, it’s great for Batman fans seeing him and Batgirl, but no Harley or Ivy in a show with her name is taking a big risk.
Didn’t work for me.
Mediocre episode after the awesome opening sequence. If I want to watch Batman, I’ll check out plenty of other animated Batman. I’m watching this show for Harley Quinn! Never was that much into Batgirl. Bane gets some good screentime, but this episode seems like it was designed to give Harley and Ivy a vacation.
Didn’t work for me. My least favorite episode of the series to date — both seasons. Here’s to hoping next week we get back to Harley on her own show.
Overall episode rating: ⭐️⭐️

I have been following for a while now especially for your Harley Quinn series review since the season 1
I have decided to move further by buying domain, because there is so much less I can do with free wordpress.com.
If you can guide me whether I should go ahead by making this investment even if it’s small it matters for me.
Last thing you have been doing it for a while ,so how you have progressed. Because writing in void with no viewers is really disheartening

I just started blogging myself, and I want to interject a few things. Don’t be discouraged if no one is visiting your blog, it’s bound to happen to everyone at some point. Go follow some blogs – that you like of course – comment, and you’ll get some traffic.
I suggest renew your license! I wish you the best for your second year. Cheers 🙂

Thank you for reading, following and taking the time to comment. Harley Quinn is an amazing animated show and I’ve been excited about the creativity. The show really takes an adult look at the typical animated film. I think it’s one of the best shows out there right now.
As for your other questions. I haven’t been doing this blog that long, really. It started in September 2019, so not even a year. I really had no interest in starting another blog, but when I couldn’t do everything I wanted to do covering movies and TV series at Letterboxd, I started this. My main movie reviews are still being posted daily to Letterboxd here: https://letterboxd.com/tjsnk/
Ironically, I can’t post reviews for Harley Quinn there. Alas, that’s why I’m posting them here.
Moral of that story, I guess? Find a reason, a need, for your blog to exist, then go out and execute. One thing I’ve learned through the many years I’ve been on the internet, if you find a need and value for something, others will. too.
I bought a domain pretty much right away and think that’s a great idea if you want to grow your blog’s branding. Personally, I don’t care if someone has a domain or not when I’m reading, but a domain that’s easy to remember and type is important for return/repeat visitors. They will have a harder time remembering something.wordpress.com over MyAwesomeBlog.com (that’s a terrible name, btw, lol)
We use the business hosted WordPress here, which will work out as a paid option for awhile. We’ll eventually need to upgrade to the next plan, simply because there are still limitations on each level of service, even the paid service that we currently use. It’s the $8/month premium option, paid annually .. so it’s like $100 a year + the cost of the domain.
As for traffic? Traffic has risen at this blog pretty much every month (took a small dip in March, but *way* up in April). I do have as part of my workflow building traffic and subscribers. Some of this works, some doesn’t and some remain works in progress.
I’ve been thinking about adding an inexpensive and totally optional premium area to this blog and sharing back some real world business advice in building a blog from scratch for others who want to do the same. I would share exactly what I’m doing to administrate, operate and grow this blog and other blogs I’ve ran in the past.
Would this be of interest to you (and anybody else reading this) possibly?
I used to write about the how-to topics you’re inquiring about on another blog I did many years ago (yeah, I’m pretty old in internet terms, too), and there is a sizable audience interested in help with these behind the scenes things. Those posts were often popular when I did them. A few others have mentioned interest in some of the behind the scenes stuff. If there was enough subscriber interest, I’d probably be willing to do it.
This blog wasn’t started as a business — we currently have zero ads or revenue here — but evolving into some of that in order to continue its existence when the expenses start to overwhelm the fun, well, you’re absolutely correct that if you don’t have people reading, then what’s the point? You also reach a point in growth where you need people to help support the project or else the expenses can consume the project.
This reply is probably much, much longer than you wanted, but it shows the general idea I have for a separate premium area. It’s not a plan, right now, just a very early idea. Curious what you think of the concept anyway.
What do you think?

You suggestion has made it clear that things are quite expensive here on wordpress.com. So I have planned to host my blog on a cheaper domain provider with wordpress.org. It also provides quite more control over your blog. But I don’t know If I would be able to access wordpress.com reader.
I have decided to write on animated niche as there is so much scope and in the region where I belong there is still not enough supply of good content in this niche. My main motive behind this is to improve my skills and acquire some more. You may have noticed that my grammar is so bad. And I have chosen this topic because I don’t want to make my blogging dull and boring.
I also haven’t focused on the Monetization part yet. I don’t have big ambition with this blog. Maybe I could be able to land an internship or few freelance gigs based upon this world.
I am just a student trying hands on different things but supporting people like you have made this experience really productive.

Cost tradeoffs on hosting are usually bandwidth, managed services, upgrades (keeping malicious hackers out) and the like. Smaller, cheaper hosts usually throw your site on a crowded virtual server.
Once/if you gain any sort of traffic, the site user experience will suck (slowdown, failure to load, errors). About the cheapest you can get into your own server, the better off you’ll be, but that’s going to be hundreds a year, maybe more, depending on how much bandwidth you allot for.
Chose to be hosted here so we don’t have to manage those issues ourselves. Good luck, whatever path you choose 🙂
