I Have a Feeling We’re Not in Gotham Anymore
Could a change of location benefit Harlivy?
The Harley Quinn Season 5 trailer turns the series on its head with the move from Gotham to Metropolis. It almost feels like a reset despite the tagline, “New City, Old Gang, Same Mayhem.” While we can certainly expect to see our favorite misfits wreaking havoc, Metropolis boasts a host of problems on its own. And according to the season synopsis, an unfolding central mystery will keep things interesting.

Harley Quinn Season 5 Synopsis
Here’s the logline per Warner Bros. Discovery:
“The fifth season of Harley Quinn finds Harley (Kaley Cuoco) and Ivy (Lake Bell) in a new location: Metropolis! – the home of all things Superman, Lois Lane, and the Daily Planet. Harley and Ivy discover that something sinister is at play and all is not what it seems. Looming threats include Lex Luthor and his sister, Lena Luthor, plus fan-favorite Brainiac. But of course, Harley’s crew of misfits and allies will join her on this irreverent journey that takes no prisoners in having fun in the DC sandbox.”
The trailer also showcases Red X and Enchantress. Red X’s appearance is intriguing, to be sure — after all, it’s a villain identity temporarily assumed by Robin. If you recall, Robin (Jacob Tremblay) was present when Talia al Ghul (Aline Elasmar) revived Nightwing (Harvey Guillén). Nightwing wants to exact vengeance against Harley, so it wouldn’t be too far out of left field to assume Robin will help him.
