The Skinny:  Batman and Nightwing are chasing Poison Ivy and Jason Woodrue who have teamed up for a scheme that threatens all humanity and perhaps all life on Earth.  They decide to get Harley Quinn (who has apparently abandoned crime) to help them find Ivy.

The Good Bits:  The fight between Harley and Nightwing and how it ends.

Harley's closet filled with special purpose costumes.

Nightwing's mutter to himself after Batman finds him in bed with Harley.  "It's not like you've never made out with a supervillain."

The henchmen bar.  The guy dressed like a Catwoman goon from the Adam West series doing the batusi to try to mock Batman.  The inevitable fight to get out.  Biff!  Pow!  Ow My Balls!

Swamp Thing's scene.

Harley is a really good person to sing a Blondie song.

The Bad Bits:  Why are they talking about Harley's parole officer? *Harley has never been convicted of a crime*.  It's...curious that Gotham State has such an assumption that anyone who commits crimes in a costume is non compos mentis, but they do and if Harley has been released it's because she'd been judged to no longer be a threat to the public.  At most they should be talking about a halfway house she walked aways from.

It only makes sense to get Harley if they already know where she is.  If they're going to have to spend hours finding Harley then that's hours they could have spent finding Ivy.  It's no longer a short cut.  And it was just dumb luck that Nightwing found her at all.  He stumbled across her just looking for a sandwich after failing to find any leads.

Bruce Timm is clearly making the most of no longer being constrained by TV ratings.  I don't mind that Harley was working at a Hooters-like restaurant called "Superbabes" in a more sexualized version of her costume or most of her gyrations while singing.  But the part where she shakes her tits...there's just no dignity to it.

The ending.  Living plants aren't that much flammable than people. Maybe the point of mentioning that Batman has a "dehydrating agent" earlier is to explain what actually happened, but if so they were being overly subtle.  I'm not sure whether explaining it that way is reading between the lines or just fanwanking.
