James Gunn Will Guest on the Harley Quinn Cartoon as Himself

When Harley Quinn co-creator Patrick Schumacher introduced {that a} spin-off a couple of bar stuffed with supervillains was within the works at this yr’s SXSW, he dropped one other bit of stories in regards to the third season of the hit animated collection: namely, that The Suicide Squad film and Peacemaker TV collection author and director James Gunn can be showing as himself in true Scooby-Doo guest-star style.

Apparently, Gunn shall be heading to Gotham City to make a film about Batman’s father Thomas Wayne, which is fairly wild when you consider it. Imagine the real-world Gunn making a film a couple of wealthy man and his spouse getting gunned down in an alley in his irreverent, sadistic model. It’d be actually, actually bizarre, proper? Because presumably Gunn, like everybody else on this planet of the Harley Quinn TV collection, has no concept that the child who watched his dad and mom murdered earlier than his eyes grew as much as be Batman. Without that key bit of data, the story of Thomas Wayne is a simple tragedy… till the present seemingly reveals that ol’ Tom secretly held Eyes Wide Shut-esque orgy events and had a meth dependancy or somesuch.

Suffice it to say I think about Gunn will run afoul of Batman, however I believe it’s an excellent safer wager that he finally ends up graphically murdered. Right? After he killed off all these D-list villains in The Suicide Squad, I simply can not see a situation the place he doesn’t obtain the identical destiny in an animated collection that routinely graphically murders characters. In reality, my cash is that King Shark eats him, provided that Gunn helped put the character on the map in The Suicide Squad. It’s poetic justice, actually.

We don’t know when Harley Quinn will return to HBO Max for its third season—Schumacher would solely say “soon”—however truthfully, the earlier the higher.
