Episode #081 - Harley's Holiday
Original Airdate - October 15th, 1994
Discharged from Arkham Asylum, Harley Quinn tries to lead a sane, normal
life. Sadly, she just can't seem to stay out of trouble, and when
a misunderstanding occurs, Harley makes the situation worse by stealing
Bruce Wayne's car and kidnapping his girlfriend. This ignites a
screwball chase that not only involves Batman and Robin, but the police,
army, and Gotham's most dangerous gangsters as well.

Review: A tale about a day in
the life of Harley Quinn. And what a day! It was a very comical look and
side-step from the normal Batman Animated Series; an outlandish tale
that goes too far, but remains funny. Such scenes like Robin using fish
to beat up a thug, General Vreeland chasing Harley in a tank, and the
constant car crashes that Bullock had. It was also funny to have Batman,
Robin, General Vreeland, Boxy Bennet, and Detective Bullock all chasing
Harley across the city.
The animation, as usual, was the standard of Adventures of Batman &
Robin. Batman looked a bit strange (his chin did, at least) at times,
but it was made up for with the nice animation, especially all of the
vehicles going this was and that, and the beautiful explosions.
