Where did she go wrong? When did she go from being a fun, interesting character to being a heavily watered down version of Baby Firefly?
Harley Quinn
Jace Harris
Christian Morales
Jason Wilson
When New 52 Suicide Squad dropped, and things like Harley falling on acid and Joker wearing a mask of his own face were seen as "cool".
Margot was just the nail in the coffin.
Jayden Gonzalez
When she stopped being a hoe for the Joker, her being a pathetic battered housewife was part of the fun
Jordan Sullivan
Around 2011 when she stopped being a fun yet tragic sidekick to The Joker and became a batshit insane excuse for female empowerment/anti-hero.
Luke Jenkins
I miss this costume so much bros, her new look is such a downgrade.
Jordan Hughes
This, exactly that.
Christopher Diaz
Started with Arkham Asylum
That hideous fucking design informed every terrible thing done with the character since.
John Reed
Arkham Asylum's only sin was introducing Harley Quinn to a larger audience and banking hard on her sex appeal. In the aftermath DC decided she was worth pushing as user states in New 52 Suicide Squad
Connor Phillips
Funny they used that as a base, since most people agree the Arkham Asylum outfit was bad.
Truth be told, the only good costumes Harley's ever had in games were the Arkham Knight and Injustice 2 ones.
Jace Walker
If Arkham Asylum just stuck with the jester suit none of this would have ever happened. Butterfly effect man.
Jason Wright
the concepts (save for the first two) weren't much better than what we got.
Austin Hill
Feminism.
Jordan Taylor
When DC decided that pic related would stop being her main design used.
Jason Hill
Successful characters maintain an iconic costume design regardless of medium. Superman, Batman and Spider-Man immediately identifiable whether it is comics, cartoons, vidya or live action. Harley hasn't had a consistent design since they abandoned her jester outfit.
Blake Brown
They did better with City and Knight. Especially Knight.
Parker Robinson
Harley's Arkham Knight outfit (and model) were objectively the best of the series.
Josiah Martinez
She is still as fun as fuck as ever; still the single best character in the DCU by a country mile.
Jaxon Edwards
>2011
I think you mean 2000 as she left the joker in 1999.
Noah Miller
>I think you mean 2000 as she left the joker in 1999.
No, 2011. She was on and off again for years. That was her character, that no matter what the Joker did, she would keep running back
David Nelson
I can count the number of joker/harley stories on one hand.
Ryder Clark
It was Arkham, though. And you saying that a bigger audience for her isn't what we're talking about is just obtuse. You know what made Joker dog-shit? Nolan's movie. Bigger newer audience, and it gave ever dumbass writer the will to go "Hey, I can pitch my own version of the Joker!". Same with Harley, but the difference is DC got wise to it, and now it's them doing all the work. All the pushing.
Liam Richardson
And? That doesn't change Harley's characterization at the time
Jeremiah Davis
She she stopped being Joker's girlfriend/stalker and they turned her into a lesbo anti-hero Deadpool ripoff. She's pure shit-tier now.
Mason Brown
>She she stopped being Joker's girlfriend/stalker
Like she wasn't that before she went to shit?
Gotham City Sirens was hype as fuck and that was pretty much 1:1 with her path in the new show.
You're on point on the Deadpool thing, though.
Joshua Hernandez
PUNCHLINE IS BETTER
Easton Allen
Oh, don't worry, she's gonna get ruined too, just you wait.
Brody Cooper
You really hope that, huh.
Jonathan Harris
Do you honestly trust DC with Punchline?
Do you think they're gonna give good stories/writers for her when Joker War is done?
Xavier Bell
I'm not prescient.
Luis Rodriguez
What i'm saying is i'm afraid they're gonna drop the ball on her.
