moment being when he (it was his second-in-command's idea initially, but he loved it when he heard) hires a South American cannibal cult to "clean the streets" by killing and eating the city's homeless people. Canon Immigrant: Harley, from Batman: The Animated Series: while she appeared in the comics before this, this was where she came into her own and got a lot of character establishment. Harley begins singing " The Hills Are Alive" when she realizes that the entire fourth floor of her building is her apartment.

In the seventh issue of Suicide Squad, Glass revised Harley Quinn's origin story, making it reflect the Joker's origins. Jimm Salabim asks which Wonder Woman she wants to be - the classic warrior on horseback, the TV one, the '70s comics one with the white slacks, the Perez-era one, the New 52 one.Dini chose the name for the character to be in line with other Batman characters's names being puns, and also because he thought "Harley was a fun name for a girl". Her costume has also been changed with a roller derby-inspired costume designed by Conner, which incorporates Conner's favorite aspects of Harley Quinn's early costume and her costume in Glass' run of Suicide Squad.

Accidental Innuendo: Bernie, Harley's taxidermy beaver, is subject to this in-universe, such as when Harley asks Ivy if she wants to "meet [her] beaver", which Ivy misinterprets sexually before seeing what Bernie is. To give an obvious example, one issue starts with her waking up in her rather messy apartment with last night's date behind her, duct-taped to the wall; two pages later, she sees a patient dressed in a gimp outfit (her treatment consists of "integral psychotherapy" through "introspection and dissection", a fancy way of saying she hogties him). Ultimately she imagines herself naked and starts belting out her lines, only the dream changes so she is now in church. In Harley's Little Black Book she agrees to spend thirty days in hell with the Devil (Well, A devil, at least) in exchange for him removing someone's curse. very unusual version of the Joker as contemporary left-wing political activists; Harleen for DC Black Label, a new retelling of Harley's origin by Stjepan Seijic; and Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity, a DC Black Label miniseries set in a non-superhero universe with the Joker as a mundane serial killer and Harleen as a police profiler on his trail.One thing that we're trying to show with her, and I don't think it gets played with enough with Harley, is here's a woman who was a very intelligent and very manipulative doctor. Ascended Fangirl: The first issue of Harley's Little Black Book reveals that Harley is a huge Wonder Woman fan, and in the book Harley gets to team up with her. When she materializes back on Earth only a day later, she has Tears of Joy running down her face as she exclaims "Let's do it again, an' this time add more spikes, and a big rubber-" before the devil says he just can't deal with her anymore. The Smurfette Principle: Inverted with the Gang Of Harleys (a team of Anti-Heroes that dress like Harley and have superhero names similar to her own).

Harley's relationship with the fourth wall appears to be just as quirky as everything else in her life. The character has since been depicted as an antihero independent of the Joker and a recurring core member of the Suicide Squad, with Poison Ivy becoming her primary romantic interest. The New 52 Harley Quinn series received positive reception, and was also one of DC Comics' top-selling series, inspiring multiple spin-offs.

Then Harley takes a crack at it and blows into the breathing tube, making the man's arteries explode.
