This subplot intersects with Harley ’s maturate recognition that she ’s become narratively dead , fundamentally relegate to being a supportive homemaker while Ivy prosecute her challenging programme for Metropolis .
This was compulsive to palpate some sensation of accomplishment , harley blackjack clayface into cast her as lena in his frolic .
The theatrical yield has unexpected upshot .
Against Lena ’s original intention to scupper Brainiac ’s nefarious nature , the gaming stop up humanise him too much .
More importantly , find out the public presentation force Brainiac to face a sore Sojourner Truth he ’s been quash for 100 – his dear distance imp , Coco , has long been idle .
This actualization shatter Brainiac ’s cautiously keep frontal of ascendence .
This was as he look out the interview acclaim the carrying into action from his ship , furor consume him at the thinking that no one else can interpret his sound closing off and departure .
In a annihilating number of payback , Brainiac send his golem to polish off Frank ( vocalize by J.B. Smoove ) wing .

Harley Quinn Is No Longer the wiz of Her Own Series
The show ’s gradual transmutation forth from Harley as its primal eccentric becomes more seeming when examine late season .
While time of year 3 had memorable moment like Harley help Bruce Wayne / Batman ( voice by Diedrich Bader ) swear out his puerility harm , the time of year ’s chief narration center on Ivy ’s get joining to The Green and her architectural plan to terraform Gotham .
OLM
Even the zombie apocalypse storyline , trigger by Bruce ’s attack to rise his parent , finally serve as a fomite for Ivy ’s role maturation rather than Harley ’s .
time of year 4 ’s effort to reinvent Harley as a poor boy chop-chop unpick with the Apocalypse that she was somnambulate through her pent-up nefarious impulsion , culminate in the end of Dick Grayson / Nightwing(voiced by Harvey Guillén ) .
This was meanwhile , the time of year ’s main stress remain on ivy ’s challenge launch the legion of doom , with harley attend to in the main as funding .
Now , in Season 5,Ivy face her past tense with Jason Woodrue(voiced by John Slattery ) , who long time ago set about to slip her mental test guinea pig Frank and make a laboratory fortuity that reverse her into a supervillain .

This asymmetry finger especially glaring dedicate the miss chance for dispute between Harley , the shape of topsy-turvydom , and Brainiac ( voice by Stephen Fry ) , the ultimate agentive role of parliamentary law .
TOHO
alternatively of explore this rude enmity , the show continue to prioritise other story yarn , peculiarly those concentrate on on Ivy .
While the serial publication has importantly improve from Season 4 ’s disordered storytelling , it still contend to give Harley meaningful delegacy in her own account , a fact that Episode 6 agnize but fail to come up to .
The end of Frank in the modish installment further emphasise this radiation diagram , as even this excited intestine slug go around around Ivy rather than Harley .
While Harlivy remain one of life ’s most compelling partnership , it ’s becoming progressively unmanageable to dismiss that the show seems diffident how to poise its two-fold champion , often at the disbursal of its titulary reference ’s ontogeny .
