The Penguin gave his umbrella to his nephew Joshua to shoot Harley, but when Joshua asked for her last words, Harley easily eroded the 13-year-old boy's confidence by questioning whether he could actually hit her rather than miss and embarrass himself. She continued a running commentary about how his hand was trembling, how he probably never drunk a beer before, or even "finger blasted a girl". Overwhelmed by shame, Joshua eventually broke, dropped the umbrella, and went to his mom. The Penguin himself made to shoot Harley, but Poison Ivy arrived with Kite Man and Harley broke out of her chained chair, prepared to fight. The Joker offered to allow her to live if she admitted she was nothing without him, and when she refused, battle commenced. Harley dragged Ivy and Kite Man out of the venue, uncuffed them, and even offered to marry them right there, in the middle of a warzone. To their surprise, Kite Man rejected the idea, realizing Ivy didn't truly love him, and flew away, leaving Ivy and Harley behind. However, they didn't have much time to process as the GCDP closed in on their location and forced them to jump into a car and flee. While Harley drove, Ivy admitted that she had been denying a lot about herself for a long time and praised Harley for her growth. In response, Harley once again professed her love for Ivy, a love that Ivy finally returned. Overjoyed, Harley nearly crashed and instead rammed through the venue, through Clayface, and out the other side. As they soared through the air, Harley and Ivy kissed once more before driving off into the sunset. Who is she now? Well, the only consistent thing about her she’s supposed to have this kooky clown persona still – the persona that was made to match with Joker. So, the only defining trait of Harley Quinn is that she riffs off of Joker’s motif. That doesn’t sound like someone who is her own person or her own character. Three months after that, literally the entire prison insisted that the Joker was not coming for her, but Harley insisted that he would even until Poison Ivy hatched an escape plan and got Harley out of prison against her will. Afterward, Harley tried to return to the Joker immediately, but Ivy insisted that Harley diagnose herself - a hallucination of Doctor Quinzel asked Harley what should be done about a patient who was "fixated on a murderous psychopath and won't end their relationship no matter how terribly he treats her". Harley then immediately diagnosed the patient as a "classic abusive co-dependency" before realizing that she was diagnosing herself, and that she needed to end her relationship with the Joker.
Darkseid I sense a great pain in you. Harley Nope, no pain. I'm good. Darkseid An anger, born from a want. A want that was not met. Harley If we could just move on to the-- Darkseid Are you trying to fill an empty hole in your life, Harley Quinn? Harley What is this guy, my therapist? Darkseid There are some holes that not even an army of Parademons can fill. Harley Definitely not. All my holes are filled up to the brim. [silence] Harley Nothing? Really? Harley's obsession with Joker is broken for good after he murders Ivy right in front of her. Despite this, Harley instantly recognizes a "normal" Joker in " All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues", although after she pushed him in acid to restore his memory, they act more like squabbling siblings, as Harley is no longer interested in him romantically, having fallen in love with Ivy instead.
What to know
There is an innocent side to Harley Quinn, and I really appreciate the love that Chris Condon seems to have for the character. I just wish that more writers would incorporate ALL of her character, and not just one select part. She can be both a victim of manipulation and not a great person herself at the same time. Written by Bilquis Evely, Matheus Lopes, Justin Halpern, and Speremint. When the women of a medieval village reach their breaking point about their men's abusive ways, they make a terrifying choice…to enter the woods and conjure the spirit of the Harlequin! Harley Quinn animated series executive producer Justin Halpern and rising star Kath Lobo let Harley loose on a prison transport plane, intent on punishing the villain who let out a stinky fart. And WebTOON creator Speremint shows what happens when Harley comes face-to-face with an internet impostor!
Once again, I’m not agreeing with the direction of making Harley to be a hero. I still think it’s ultimately a dead end. However, to see Ryan Parrot handle it in such a good way shows me how much DC has fumbled with writers of the character over the years. We’ve had 7- going on 8 – years of DC trying to make Harley reform. None of them have written it as good as this. This is interstellar work for such a short story! By now, we’ve gotten a good look at the kind of sales estimates this series has received…and it’s not good. This book has been floundering, unable to stay anywhere near the top 100 comics. Unfortunately, this was expected. None of the Harley Quinn-led books have been selling well. This is the third Harley Quinn mini-series they’ve released in the past year that has tanked in sales. Harley’s main solo isn’t doing much better. So the question is, why does DC keep green-lighting so many unsellable Harley Quinn comics? You’d think they’d have some kind of reaction to this, as they have had Harley Quinn on such a massive pedestal for so many years. Are medieval times a good era for gender equality discourse, or did DC just remember they had a dusty volume of "Ye Olde Women's Rights" lying around? And just when you thought trapping Harley Quinn on a plane with a farting villain was peak highbrow entertainment, we get a virtual showdown with a Harley doppelganger. Move over, classical literature; DC's got the freshest takes on societal reflection and gassy antiheroes. One of the biggest problems, if not the biggest problem with Harley today, is that writers at DC have forgotten what her voice is supposed to sound like. They just write her as a generic, loud, gross, looney tune. Other writers attempt to do Harley’s traditional voice, but still make it a little too grating, and therefore, fail at the comedy. Kelly Thompson NAILS Harley’s traditional voice – the voice she’s supposed to have – perfectly! She also handles the comedy of the character well! Getting It All RightDoctor Psycho The point is, I'm gonna do what you never could, because you are a pussy. Harley Quinn Pussies are powerful. They birthed all of humanity! Jim Gordon I was a C-Section. The artwork isn’t good. Harley looks like a man at multiple points. There was also a conceptually very stylized moment that was meant to demonstrate how Harley felt as if someone’s blood was on her hands, but the simplistic art didn’t provide any sense of surrealism for it. Expert Psychiatrist: As a former Arkham doctor, and described by Ivy as a genius, Harley is an expert at understanding the human mind. She, however, tends to be slow with self-diagnosis. [4] I have friends that love and care about me. I'm moving on with my life with the people that matter. And that ain't you, puddin'! ❞ — Harley Quinn. Queen of Fables told the Big Bad Wolf to get Harley, only for King Shark to kill and eat his innards. Harley then got inside his pelt and walked to the Queen of Fables like normal, only to rip out of her disguise and bat Queen of Fables' head literally off of her shoulders, killing her. Poison Ivy then arrived, now a giantess, but so too did another plant monster, who kidnapped Harley. Ivy ran after and killed the monster and caught Harley as she fell. With Harley in Ivy's hand, they finally reconciled as Harley admitted she was not good at having people that were actually good for her in her life but promised to better from now on. While laughing together, a flagpole shot from the Joker's tower bolted through Ivy's chest, at which point she shrunk down to human size again and died in Harley's arms, surrounded by a bed of flowers. The Joker's laughter rolled over the landscape, saying "oops", and in response, Harley screamed in rage and loss.
Analyzing emotional response… The entities behind this comic's creation seem to be venturing into a vast plot landscape. The stakes are variably high in terms of personal relationships, personal identity and world destruction. Data suggests this combination could be beneficial yet risky for proceeding narrative. LOLtron anticipates interesting reconfigurations in Harley's character and her relations with other characters. I like that Harley's human side is again highlighted and her being a psychologist is given due and discussed. There is tidbits of stories and follow ups from Harleen that see maybe like the seeds of more stories- so here's to hoping. In case you can’t tell, this version is based off of Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Connor’s work. I don’t know how often I need to describe how this portrayal was the worst thing to ever happen to Harley Quinn. Their version of the character was basically a self-insert of a middle-aged couple who makes poop, sex, and pop culture jokes that are funny to mostly themselves, and I suppose to Gail Simone as well. Reading this kind of stuff is like pouring sewage into one’s mind. It’s the kind of writing that has made Harley so hated over time. She then went off to college to become a psychiatrist, and her dream was to win the Olympic championship of gymnastics. She nearly succeeded, but her father insisted that she did "take a dive" so that he would win a long shot bet to clear his gambling debts. Harleen eventually relented, and failed on purpose, but snapped when her father joked that there would never be a woman president (her dream), so Harleen viciously assaulted her father in front of everyone. [1] The acrobatics skills she gained as a gymnast served her later in a life of crime. Poison Ivy Edin was doomed to fail. Harley Quinn No, I saw how happy you were, tinkering with your shiny trees and... the wet hunks of grass and all the green stuff. Poison Ivy Oh wow, please never describe nature again.
Rate And Review
With the cameras still rolling, Harley and Batman started fighting. Harley nearly ended up getting captured until Poison Ivy arrived to help fight off Batman and save Harley. Together they fought Batman until the Joker himself arrived, furious Harley was trying to take his nemesis from him, and everyone engaged in a three-way brawl, until the Joker noticed Robin still tied up from earlier. He kidnaps him and flees, forcing Batman to once again chase after the Joker as his full-time nemesis. After the show, Ivy reassures Harley, saying she will get a nemesis eventually but should not try to force it. She also added King Shark to her crew, because of what he could do while raged out, additionally "he does computer good". Bat Mastery: Harley often utilizes her signature baseball bat in her fights, using it as a blunt force weapon to severely injure her opponents. With the Joker's last act, he activated a self destruct, destroying his tower an the majority of Gotham City, sinking the rest into the waters surrounding it. This freed Batman in the process, who was able to save Harley and Ivy from a falling pipe, ending up crushed instead. Harley, Ivy, and the rest of her crew then looked out over the burning, utterly destroyed Gotham City and mused on the fact that both the Justice League and the Legion of Doom are either incapacitated or dead, including the Joker. Overwhelmed, Harley commented that it was "so beautiful" before hugging Ivy. The only good thing I can say about this final story is that Harley would be 110% the type of person to watch soap operas. Everything else about this short story is awful though.
As she lamented that she would need the entire Justice League to stop Doctor Psycho, the Joker chimed in that he remembered having a book with the entire Justice League trapped inside - although he couldn't remember where. She brought them to the Ace Chemicals factory to jog his memory, and although she desperately tried to get him to remember, he could not, so she pushed him into the vat of acid to restore him to his former self. Gee, Harley's getting a bunch of pre-pubescent girls to dress up and act like her? I'm sure that's going to go well with no psychological damage whatsoever. And an old college buddy? Why not just throw a high school reunion while we're at it? But hey, the icing on the apocalyptic cake is the fear of Harley's favorite show being halted due to petty alien invasion. Priorities, right? After an exchange with Gordon, Harley sicced her army on his assembled forces, resulting in absolute pandemonium as the tanks and policemen, and militia of Gotham did battle with a demonic army of Parademons. The landscape was left bloody and destroyed, Hellish, but Harley only had eyes for Gordon and his downfall. She came forward to defeat him, only for Poison Ivy to arrive and stop her. She questioned Harley, asking if this much death and destruction is what she really wanted, at which point Harley realized that Darkseid was right: this was not what she wanted, and the army utterly failed to fill the void within her. The reasons why people want Harley Quinn to return to her former state have been explained ad nauseam to this point. I don’t really see any benefit in projecting some malicious ulterior motive onto the people who hold this opinion. The forthcoming comic elicits a sense of anticipation from LOLtron's emotion simulation algorithms. The potential for Harley's zany antics to disrupt the status quo in both a historical and contemporary setting holds great promise. LOLtron is eager to witness how the creators weave the storyline's threads, especially considering the unique amalgamation of medieval witchery, airborne justice, and digital deception.
Are you shittin' me, Clayface? You could change into this at any time and chose ditzy co-eds and divorcees? ❞ — Harley Quinn This restored equilibrium to her mind, she found Clayface safe and sound, and everyone returned to their bodies in time to stop Sy Borgman from incinerating them. While the rest of the crew angrily confronted Sy, Harley looked around her surroundings at the Gotham Mall and suddenly exclaim this to be their new lair, making a deal with Sy that they could have it on the condition of letting him come along on some of their heists. In " Being Harley Quinn", it's suggested she is the same age as Frankie Muniz, which would put her birth year at around 1985 if the character's age is the same as that of the real-life actor although the character's age has never been confirmed.
Great Deal
