Harleen: Everything You Need To Know About DC's New Harley Quinn Comic
5. The Joker Is In It
It should come as no surprise that 'Harleen' will feature the Joker in the familiar role of Harley's paramour. After all, it's pretty difficult to tell her story without the Clown Prince of Crime playing a massive role. More of the DC blurb says:
"Following an attack on the city by the villainous Joker, Harleen will come face-to-face with one of the many criminals she hopes to heal—but she will soon find herself drawn into the madness and insanity that plagues him. Witness Harleen’s first steps on a doomed quest that will launch the legendary super-villain Harley Quinn in this stunning reimagining of Harley and the Joker’s twisted and tragic love affair."
Now, even though this is nothing new in storyline context it's worth pointing out that it's still going to be the Joker who is responsible for Harley taking to a life of crime and not, say, Killer Croc or someone else. This is a good thing because if DC did decide to mess around with her origin to that kind of extreme, the internet would probably explode.
