10 Most Heroic Things Harley Quinn Has Ever Done
Harley may be certifiably nuts, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have her moments.
Harley Quinn has finally gotten a live action movie that doesn't suck rocks! Sure, it's kinda under-performing at the box office, but on the other hand its budget is the smallest of the DC movies thus far so I think it'll make back its money alright.
But that's besides the point. The point is that a lot of moviegoers who might not have heard of her otherwise get to experience this wonderful character. So what better way to celebrate that than by taking a look at her best/most heroic moments?
Harley has been around for quite some time and has been treated rather well by DC all things considered. Even going so far as to make her closer to a superhero than a villain, in stark contrast to how she started out. Paul Dini's greatest creation has had a long and fascinating career in the DC canon, and while she's gotten up to her fair share of trouble, she's also done a ton of good as well.
Here are the moments that solidified Harley Quinn as a hero in the DC universe.
10. Defeated Enchantress - Suicide Squad
Simply thinking about the Suicide Squad movie makes my brain feel like it's going to crack in half so let's keep this one short.
As lacklustre as suicide squad was, it did introduce Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn to the world, so we can't hate it too much. Especially when it hands her the win for the movie.
With everyone else exhausted from fighting this crazy witch, Harley is the last one standing. The Enchantress tries to coax her into joining her side with the promise of giving Harley everything she ever wanted. Harley at first seems to fall for it, playing along with Enchantress' scheming until she gets close enough to carve out the woman's heart with a sword.
Gratuitously violent, for sure, but what else can you expect from the Snyder era of the DCEU? At least this instance of it showed off Harley's cleverness and ability to play this madwoman like a fiddle and then cut her strings.
