HBO Max has a treat for us this week, as the Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special drops quite soon.

Harley Quinn Valentine's Day Special release date, time

Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special drops on HBO Max at 3 a.m. ET / 12 a.m. PT on Thursday (Feb. 9).

And Harley Quinn's as excited for anyone, as she really loves any excuse to be extra for Poison Ivy. The whole animated DC Universe looks to be enjoying it, too, what with The Flash and Zatanna Zatara, King Shark and his own paramour going full Ghost and Catwoman delivering chocolates to the imprisoned Bruce Wayne. 

Even Kite Man's got sparks flying! Elsewhere in this special, we've got a Wonder Woman sighting, Darkseid in love, Bane looking for more power and even The Riddler having some fun. 

The big story of the episode, though, seems to be about one of the big surprises that Harley gave to Ivy that's gone — even though it seemed very right in the moment. And all of Gotham is reaping the rewards.

Check out all of that in the trailer below, and scroll down to find out everything you need to know to watch Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special with your puddin'(and no judgement if you're without one right now).
