While I wanted to see more of Superman inHarley Quinnseason 5 , I understand why the show decide to have the Man of Steel absent for most of the season . If Superman was still in Metropolis , he would have stolen the spotlight from Harley and Ivy . After all , Brainiac and the Luthors were the main villains of time of year 5 . Those are Superman ’s classic enemy , who were trying to bottle his urban center for their own goal . Clark Kent would never have allow that to happen , so the show had to send him off .

By doing that , Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy became Metropolis ' first line of defenseagainst those threats . It create vast stakes for the season , as Superman is fantastically hefty , while Ivy does not come closely to his grade , and Harley is a street - grade role . I conceive the show found a way to send Superman off on a journey that made him feel very human despite his Brobdingnagian power , which I quite liked , as it is similar to the serial publication ' plan of attack to Batman . At leastSupermanmanaged to do back for a huge moment in theHarley Quinnseason 5 last .
