It’s readily apparent how different the power dynamic is between Harley and the man who will be Joker. She bosses him around and talks about him as if he’s not an equal; he’s merely, a hench-lieutenant with potential. Furthermore, unlike the character who gets commands barked at her by the Joker in other iterations, The Enemy Within Harley almost never lets anyone tell her what to do, even Bane.

As the episode progresses, Harley makes Bruce steal from important tech from Wayne Enterprises that they later use in a frantic convoy robbery. Her partners-in-crime are Mr. Freeze and Bane and they’re a lot more familiar than this Harley. Freeze gained cryogenic powers in a lab accident and cares only about his ailing wife. Bane, meanwhile, wants to be the alpha in all situations and talks trash to Bruce when they first meet.

Episode two makes a point of showing that this version of Harley has insight into her own psychology. She’s aware of her behaviors and their consequences and is even capable of apologizing for something she’s done wrong. These traits aren’t necessarily a big deal for most well-adjusted adults, but they’re more remarkable when one considers that Harley has rarely been shown as anything close to well-adjusted.

This Harley feels more calculating and canny, in control of her fate in a way that’s a huge break from the character’s early, formative appearances. She certainly doesn’t care about the possibility of John Doe getting jealous when she flirts with Bruce Wayne.

The version of Harley Quinn folks saw in the Suicide Squad movie went running back to an abusive toxic relationship. The one we meet in episode two of Batman: The Enemy Within feels like she’d never do that, and that divergent unpredictability makes me even more interested where she—and this season of the playable Bat-drama—will go next.
