It's time for “The Laughing Fish,” and what a BLAST it was! Things always get interesting when the Joker is involved, and this episode was no exception. We also got the introduction of Harley Quinn, which was awesome to see!

What did you think of this classic episode? Drop your thoughts in the comments below, and as always, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

- This episode was an adaptation of Detective Comics #475, written by Steve Englehart in 1978, which was the actual origin of the laughing fish. The story is nearly identical, save for Harley not being in it. - This is an absolutely classic and iconic episode, one of the most memorable of the series, and one of my personal favorites. The premise itself is so goofy on paper, but the entire episode is played completely straight and ultra-seriously. This is the only episode of the entire series to have an animated titles card (with such a simplistic font, no less), and with absolutely zero music to boot, just the sound of the rain, to immediately make it extremely memorable. 50% of the episode has no music at all, just eery silence and background noise, and when there is music, it’s ominous and dreadful. Everyone treats Joker’s threats like terrorism (which they technically are) and everyone’s reactions to things are extremely dramatic and over the top. It’s so perfect. - The writers of BTAS didn’t reinvent Harley Quinn, they CREATED her. She is an original character to this show and to this universe and all other incarnations, comic or animated, stemmed from here. This Harley is quite literally THE definitive take on the character. Arleen Sorkin (RIP) gave her so much character, expressiveness, and charm, always hamming it up and giving an outstanding performance. She is, imo, as synonymous with Harley Quinn as Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are to Batman and the Joker. - Joker and Harley are indeed in a “relationship” at this point in time. They first met when Harleen Quinzel was still a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum and Joker gave her a type of Stockholm syndrome due to all his manipulation and acting small, wounded, grooming her over time into his personal plaything. We won’t actually get to see this until The New Batman Adventures, which is certainly a ways away and is a package deal with STAS, but it was animated directly from a comic written by Paul Dini himself and is one of the best episodes of that series.

Instant classic for sure. Anytime Joker is involved it feels like it'll be iconic. Lol
