Lets talk about ME! No seriously, let me tell you about Harley Quinn

So, for my first blog post; I would like to go into the life of my absolute favorite comic book character... ME: Harley Quinn!

Oh yeah, by the way, I am NOT using Google or Wikipedia! I am doing this from memory!!!

Harleen Frances Quinzel graduated medical school with a degree in psychology. In some comics she is believed to have been a cheat in school and used her looks to get the grades she wanted. Another comic suggests, she used to have a pop-psychology show. But those was more of shows, and trust me, the shows nor movies stick to the facts. The comics have the facts! I will stick with the comics. So, moving on. She graduated and went as an intern to Arkham Asylum. She was hoping to go to write a psychology book based on the lives of Gotham’s worst psychotic criminals. As an intern she met the Joker. The Joker had seduced her into falling for him, and she became Harley Quinn. She had broke the Joker out of Arkham and gave up her dream of being a famous world-renowned psychologist. She was now focused on keeping the Joker happy. All she lived for was looking for his approval, and wanting him to love her. Though she was his girlfriend, the Joker wasn’t really in love with her the way she loved him.

 

The picture above is a picture of Harley Quinn with the Joker when she was a psychiatrist back at Arkham Asylum.

As her life gotten involved with the Joker and assisting him to his crimes, she was now a criminal. She was though, the only criminal to legally get out of Arkham. She was the only one that had been certified sane for a little while… Until she had gotten into more trouble. Harley just wanted to be with the Joker and felt she needed to make him happy. Sometime in their relationship, the Joker had started to feel real feelings for Harley. He was actually scared of this feeling because he had never felt love and he felt weak. He really did love her but didn’t want to love so he sent her in a rocket trying to get rid of her. Harley’s best friend, Poison Ivy, had rescued her and they started working together. Ivy had also made Harley immune to her toxin. Their are some fan-fictions that Harley and Ivy had a brief romantic relationship, but as far as I know, they are NOT true. Harley and Ivy had also recruited Catwoman, (Selina Kyle) to their little crime spree. (As written in the comic series Gotham City Sirens). The Joker had eventually gotten jealous of Harley spending all her time with Ivy and hoped to win her back. Even when Joker got Harley back, he still was jealous that Ivy and Harley kept in touch. So a few times the Joker had sought to kill Ivy.

 

This is a cover for one of the Gotham City Sirens comics.

Ivy and Joker aren’t the only relationships Harley has had. She’s also had a secret admirer, Jack Ryder, also known as the Creeper. (Also, if my facts are correct, he is a part of the Justice League) She did not like him at all, but the Creeper refused to give up. Joker even tried to step in to protect Harley, but Creeper still wouldn’t give up and got through Joker’s defenses. I believe you only see Creeper and Harley once together (I could be wrong, if I am please let me know!), and trust me it is funny.
