Joker 2: How Harley Quinn went from minor TV character to Folie à Deux star.

Slate  

Joker: Folie à Deux does not feature a battle with Batman. Instead, the figure reaching into the depths of Joker’s soul is Harley Quinn, his sidekick, collaborator, and paramour, who is often drawn with quite a bit of levity in the DC universe. But unlike her DC peers, and even the bulk of Marvel’s Avengers, Harley Quinn crawled out of the primordial soup long after superhero comics’ big bang. The book reveals that Harley Quinn was once an intern at Arkham Asylum named Harleen Quinzel, who attended the Joker’s therapy appointments and fell under his sway. Case in point: The Harley Quinn we see on her Max series scarcely appears without a bare midriff, and in Margot Robbie’s depiction, she infamously has a tattoo printed across her crotch that reads “Lucky you.” Whatever you make of this lascivious design, DC has adroitly rounded it out with new subtleties in her character, all of which offer dimensions beyond thirst.
