Where it fits in the DC universe

Batman and Harley Quinn is title 10 of 13 in our DC Animated Universe viewing sequence. Batman and Harley Quinn uses the familiar animated Batman and Nightwing setting for a separate feature-length mission. Earlier Gotham animation supplies useful character context, but it is not a continuation of the Harley Quinn adult animated series. Keep those versions separate when following Harley's relationships and the tone of her surrounding world.
