We have news direct from DC Entertainment! Who wants an animated comic based on the new animated film?! We do we do! Check it out:
AN ANIMATED NEW COMIC FOR HARLEY QUINN AND HER BEST PAL…BATMAN
The digital series includes a prequel and sequel to the animated film
this August
It’s the team-up we’ve been dreaming of as the cute psychopath
Harley Quinn joins the brooding Dark Knight for a brand-new Digital
First comic series, HARLEY QUINN AND BATMAN. The series, from Batman:
The Animated Series writer Ty Templeton and artist Rick Burchett, is an
exciting new five-chapter prequel adventure to the Batman And Harley
Quinn animated film coming out this August from Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment.
“Batman and Harley, Joker and Ivy, Nightwing and Catwoman. Is there a
better cast of characters anywhere in fiction?” says Templeton. “I
spent some of the best years of my career working with these icons and
could not be happier to be returning to Gotham City and their
adventures. And to top it off, I get to work with the incomparable Rick
Burchett again! Pinch me, I’m dreaming. We’re getting the band back
together!”
Harley Quinn is a legend in her own mind, so when she realizes the Joker
thinks of her as a sidekick, she takes her revenge. Harley’s now faced
with a hard decision to break out as her own super-villain, and she’s
willing to go for it!
“I spent quite a few years working with these characters in this art
style,” says Burchett. “It’s like visiting old friends. For me,
though, the best part is having the opportunity to work with Ty
Templeton again. It’s been way too long.”
The digital series will launch Monday, July 31, with the five chapters
being released bi-weekly.
But wait! Where’s the sequel?
Beginning in October, seven sequel chapters will be released digitally
each week, and to make it extra-crazy, we flipped the names! BATMAN AND
HARLEY QUINN is a collection of stories tied to the events of the film.
These chapters will feature stories and art by Jeff Parker, Craig
Rousseau, Luciano Vecchio, Amanda Deibert, David Hahn, Dario Brizuela,
Matthew Dow Smith, Sandy Jarrell, Ty Templeton and more.
All 12 chapters will be collected in trade paperback in summer 2018.
Digital chapters will be available for download beginning July 31 via
the DC Comics App, readdcentertainment.com, iBooks, comiXology.com, Google Play, Kindle Store and Nook Store.
About the movie:
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.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, the all-new,
feature-length animated film arrives August 15Â on Digital and August
29 on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray Deluxe Giftset, Blu-ray
Combo Pack and DVD.
