10 Films DC Should Make Instead Of A Joker/Harley Rom-Com

1. Literally Anything

Trying to make a romantic comedy out of the most toxic relationship in comics is a heinous idea. It's never been a good idea, but especially now where the relationship of power dynamics and sexual misconduct and abuse are under more scrutiny than ever.

Perhaps now especially DC Entertainment shouldn't be trying to push a relationship of horrific abuse and manipulation as anything remotely amusing or romantic.

Instead, they should focus on any one of literally thousands of intellectual properties that could present far better and more entertaining and far less offensive concepts than this idea is.

A romantic comedy between Joker and Harley Quinn would be the very height of poor taste, and DC should really focus on making absolutely anything else instead of this.

If they must focus on Harley Quinn and Joker in some way, making it a Harley solo film with Joker as the antagonist. Anything but trying to show their relationship as anything worth enjoying or aspiring to.
