![]() To show this, she conducted a live experiment with her boyfriend: Guy Cobsby. This time, however, she came with a graduate thesis that there are only two times a person would disregard the rules of society: when committing a crime, and when they’re in love. Odin Markus at Arkham Asylum, like the cartoon. So Harleen Quinzel was an internship under Dr. The comic’s version is very similar to the cartoon version. We won’t see Harley for 20 more years when two Jokerz (members of gangs who name themselves after the deceased clown prince of crime) named Dee Dee would be bailed out of jail by an elderly lady who was complaining about them being thrown in jail, this caused one of the Dee Dees to say “Shut up Nana Harley!”įYI, this origin is a little dark and so be aware. This would cause Batman and Batgirl to go and rescue Tim, leading to Harley falling off a cliff and Tim to shoot Joker (electrocute in the censored version). The two would brainwash Tim and turn him into Joker Jr. And by have a kid, I mean they would go out and kidnap Batman’s kid: Tim Drake (Robin). It is revealed in a flashback of Batman Beyond that Harley and Joker would decide to settle down and have a kid. Harley would start to miss the Joker, making Ivy mad at her for missing that psychopathic clown. The two would go on and rob a number of banks and museums, forming a sister-like bond. After this, Ivy will give Harley a shot that would make her immune to poisons and toxins. ![]() This abusive relationship would continue until she meets Poison Ivy (see video below) while trying to rob a museum. The Joker would get mad at her because he wanted to kill the Batman himself, and thus push her out of a building, causing her to get injured. Eventually, Harley decided to get rid of Batman once and for all so the she and the Joker could spend time together. She would be abused by the Joker often and would get kicked out, but would always crawl back to the Joker. While Joker saw Harley as more of an annoyance that he can manipulate, he constantly abused her. This would leave them to starting a shaky relationship. Changing her name from Harleen Quinzel to Harley Quinn, she drove out of the Asylum with the Joker in the car and about a dozen police cars on their tale. Seeing the Joker in this crippled state, Harley decided to go out and buy steal a clown costume and broke the Joker out. One day, Joker escaped and was soon caught and beat up by Batman and sent back to the Asylum. She eventually concluded that Batman was the cause to this and believed Batman was being a bully to the Joker. She believed he was just doing these criminal acts to get people to laugh, but finding no one laughing at his antics. The Joker saw that, and manipulated and seduced her until she eventually fell in love with him. There, she met the Joker and became instantly interested. Harleen Quinzel was a psychiatric intern at Arkham Asylum. ![]() The episode Mad Love showed us the origin to how Harley and Joker became a thing. One from the cartoons, one from the comics (also called New Earth), and one from the comics after the New 52 (or Prime Earth), I won’t get to much into the New 52 version as that version is really dark and isn’t really what I would consider suitable for this blog (I like to try and keep this blog children friendly). So there’s actually three origin stories to Harley Quinn. This character was so popular, she got more episodes focused around her and even made it into the comics. The design was inspired because Paul Dini saw an episode of a Days of Our Life and his friend, Arleen Sorkin, was dressed up in a clown costume and making a bunch of bad jokes. ![]() While the Joker would do it in the end anyways, they got a design and concept idea for a clown to be the Joker’s “love interest”. They needed someone to jump out of the cake for the Joker’s plan because they thought it would be silly for the Joker to do it. This is because they were writing a script for a new episode of Batman: The Animated Series: Joker’s Favor (Season 1 Episode 22). So you may notice that Harley Quinn was made by the same two people who made the rest of the DCAU: Paul Dini and Bruce Timm. Debuted in: September 1992 (Cartoon), September 1993 (Comics)
