10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Harley Quinn

3. She’s Just A Sidekick

Previous team ups with Batman have already been mentioned, but that’s far from the only time Harley has stepped out of Joker’s shadow. She shared the limelight with Catwoman and Poison Ivy in Gotham City Sirens, and is obviously one of the stars of Suicide Squad.

As well as these two better known match ups, she’s due to star in Birds of Prey )And The Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn) next year. Although she isn’t one of the birds in the comics, the fact Margot Robbie was the undisputed breakout star of the Suicide Squad movie and Birds Of Prey featuring her name in the title suggests she definitely won’t be a supporting character this time around either.

Lastly, she was also a brief member of the Secret Six, proving without a doubt that Harley Quinn can be so much more than a secondary character in a Joker story.

Even within the dynamic between herself and her Puddin’, things don’t always run smooth. His abuse has already been discussed, but when she fights back, she’s more than able to hold her own. If all that wasn’t proof enough, her solo comics have been a big success too.
