After Harley explains herflatulence problem to Plastic Man, the comic jumps forward in time, showing her wearing him as a fart-containment suit. The costume stays true to the Justice League hero’s usual look, featuring his spandex style and a color scheme of red with black and gold accents. In all honesty, the suit isn’t far from something Harley herself would typically wear. However, things take a weird turn when it’s revealed thatPlastic Man has positioned his face right where Harley’s butt is—and, by extension, the excessive gas she’s passing.
With every fart Harley lets out, the suit begins to inflate, creating the ridiculous image of Harley seemingly ballooning up. Still, the Plastic Man suit is technically doing its job by containing the stinky gas. While this is undeniably gross, the most disgusting part of the whole fiasco comes whenPlastic Man decides to release the gas building up in the suit, exhaling it through his nostrils and taking a whiffbefore remarking,‘Hm. Pickle pizza ain’t bad.‘This comment, clearly referring to the scent of Harley’s fart, is low-key nauseating. It’s honestly wild that DC has made Plastic Man sniffing Harley’s farts canon.

Given that Harley is wearing her mainstream continuity costume at the start of this issue, it’s safe to say this comic falls within mainstream continuity. That being said, DC has done Plastic Man extremely dirty by making him a fart-sniffer in canon—a reputation the Justice League hero will never shake. To make the bizarre level of intimacy between the two even more nauseating, O’Brian also passes gas while Harley is wearing him, essentially farting on her. This putsHarley QuinnandPlastic Manon a whole new level of getting to know each other—one that no one asked for.
