Biography[]

Season 1[]

"So You Need a Crew?"[]

Tawny makes her debut appearance, hosting her show featuring Doctor Psycho, his wife Giganta, and son Herman Cizko. The purpose of it was for Pyscho to apologize for cussing the "C-word" when he fought against Wonder Woman, which gained him severe backlash. Despite Psycho claiming he's not a woman hater, the audience doesn't buy it, making Tawny settle them down. Tawny then asks Gigantica about her thoughts on the situation, but Psycho speaks on her behalf, making Tawny suggest that Gigantica talk about it herself. However, Psycho insists, claiming he's a telepath, and agrees with whatever he says, which Tawny finds improbable. Speaking on her behalf, Gigantica reveals that Psycho had been mind-controlling her for years as Tawny pep-talks her for standing up to her husband. After Gigantica reveals that she's leaving Psycho and takes Herman with her, Tawny waves goodbye with a big smile as Psycho demands she returns and calls her a "C-word", shocking everyone who hears it.

The following day, Tawny, reporting for the Metro 7 news, reports about how the motivational speaker and self-proclaimed Supervillain Maxie Zeus was beaten up. Interviewing Maxie, Tawny asks him how and who had beaten him up, to which he responds that Harley Quinn and her crew is nothing to fuck with. In light of this, Tawny reports that Harley, the former sidekick and girlfriend to the Joker, has gone independent. She continues by stating that it's been thirty years since the female villain Queen of Fables had a crew, whom he was defeated by the Justice League and imprisoned into a tax book.

The Queen of Fables, who was watching the newscast, was impressed by Harley. Tawny finishes her report that the Joker may now have a big competitor on his side. She then cuts to another report about a high-speed chase in progress on Harley Queen Highway.

"Finding Mr. Right"[]

Featuring Robin on her talk show, Tawny interviews him as he discusses his encounter with Harley, making her his first nemesis at only twelve years old. She compliments Robin for it, calling Robin a little sweet potato pie, and ends it with wanting to eat him all up, which Robin cutely confirms, making Tawny fawn over him.

Eventually, Harley and her crew capture Robin. The young boy is strung and tied over a pool of water, with King Shark swimming below. It's there that Robin confesses that he was lying to everyone when he said Harley Quinn was his nemesis, revealing that the kidnapping was a setup on Tawny's live set. Tawny commented that the sweet potato pie had crumbled as audience members voiced their disapproval. As things progress and Robin is officially labeled "Not The Nemesis", Robin's nose bleeds, triggering Shark down below, and panic-stricken Tawny comments that he'll be eaten.

Out of now, Batman arrives, incapacitates Shark with some shark repellant, and Tawny introduces to the audience that Batman has arrived, who is perplexed by the situation. Learning that Harley has captured Robin, he threatens to put Harley into Arkham for good. Tawny stands by, grimacing at the revelation as multiple horns are set off.

From Poison Ivy's Apartment, Ivy watches Harley get beaten up by Batman live on Tawny, who comments on the events leading up to this encounter. As the fight between Batman and Harley continues, Ivy arrives to save Harley and taking advantage of the situation, Tawny interviews Ivy, noting her strained relationship with Ivy. However, Ivy refuses to talk about it. Still, when given the chance to talk about something else, Ivy opines how unnecessary it is to wash your cans and bottles before putting them into a recycling bin.

After Batman frees himself from Ivy's vine and faces off against Harley and Ivy, Joker arrives from the wall behind the studio audience, demanding to know what Harley is doing. Excitedly, Tawny reports that things are getting heated as Joker walks through the audience. Tawny asks Batman who his true nemesis is as he fights against Harley and Ivy. Joker interjects, claiming he's his true nemesis, and pushes her away into the arms of two of her stage crew.

Ultimately, the Joker kidnaps Robin, forcing Batman to chase after him. Tawny quickly comments about the situation and asks the audience to stay tuned as they'll bring out the rescue ferrets.
