#029: 10 Stories Every Puddin' Should Know: A Harley Quinn Retrospect

Meltdown Presents: History of The Batman with Londyn! #029:10 Stories Every Puddin' Should Know: A Harley Quinn Retrospect

There are many reasons why fans love Harley Quinn. It isn't just because she is a classic beauty, nor her intense and at times comical approach to being madly in love. When Paul Dini and Bruce Timm created this character for 1992's episode "Joker's Favor" for the television show 'Batman: The Animated Series', their one shot cameo became an overnight sensation. With audiences' eyes glued to the small screen, Harley, in her own unique way, teaches about friendship, love and insanity in the DC Universe.There is no wonder why she ultimately became part of Batman's comic book canon. In this week's episode, "10 Stories Every Puddin' Must Know: A Harley Quinn Retrospect", my co-host Adam Silverstein, engineer Mason Booker and I discuss some of the most memorable tales of Ms. Quinn on television, in comic books and video games. We break down why she became one of DC Comics' most beloved psychotic characters. From today's New 52 status to fans awaiting her big screen debut in 2016's "Suicide Squad", just as our hero the Batman has evolved over the past 75+ years, so has this flirtatiously fierce femme fatale over the last two decades.
