Most western comic book properties that get some kind of anime adaptation are typically pretty bad. Anyone remember Marvel Anime?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

If you want a more specific argument for why this will probably suck, let's take a look at who's directing this. The director for the series is Eri Osada, who has typically worked as animation director on a bunch of series. But animation director and series director are very different things. Their series directing experience solely encompasses two episodes of two separate anime: JoJo's Bizarre Experience: Diamond is Unbreakable and Jujutsu Kaisen. This doesn't guarantee that the project will be a stinker, but projects with a high degree of confidence behind their success don't typically go to novice directors.

One thing I will say is that I like the writers attached to the series, as they're the creative duo behind Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song. Still, this seems like a project meant to put money into pockets and not any kind of genuine creative endeavor, as if someone drew the name of a DC comics property followed by a genre of anime out of a hat.

Have to agree, sounds like a show made for the memes and probably going to be trash. At least there is already a good Harley animated series.
