According to a report by thethings.com, the role of Harley Quinn was first offered to We're The Millers actress Emma Roberts. However, the actress turned the role down for her Fox satirical h\orror series Scream Queens.
Margot Robbie's performance as Harley Quinn in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) has become a definitive portrayal of the character.
It could be said that the Joker nurtured all of Harley's negative personality traits: he didn't turn Harleen Quinzel into a villain, he merely unlocked her true potential as one. Harley Quinn is a character who has fallen in love with her arch-nemesis. Even though the Joker is cruel to Harley, she will always love him.
David Ayer's Suicide Squad, however, would mark the first live-action movie to feature both characters and the origins of Quinn's relationship with Joker.
The Joker does not reciprocate her love and is in fact incapable of romantic emotion as he sees people only as tools to further his own plans. Harley is in denial of this fact and prefers to view him as an antihero until she eventually has to come face-to-face with his complete disregard for her.
While the two worked together for years, the only one keeping any semblance of a relationship alive was Harley. Truthfully, the Joker was never that interested in Harley, save as someone he could easily leave holding the bag during his criminal endeavors.
Harley Quinn features Ivy as Harley's best friend and then lover.
Following her introduction to the DC Universe in 1999, Harley Quinn was depicted as the sidekick and lover of the Joker as well as the criminal associate and best friend of fellow supervillain Poison Ivy.
Pamela Isley (aka Poison Ivy) is the deuteragonist of the DC Universe's animated Harley Quinn franchise. She is Harley Quinn's best friend, eventual girlfriend, and fellow Arkham Asylum escapee.
Harley Quinn's most powerful villains in DC Comics include Batman and The Joker as well as her greatest nemesis - herself. Harley Quinn fights some very powerful villains in her HBO Max animated series, including most of Batman's Rogues Gallery.
Harley definitely got some help from the popularity of the villain she was paired with, as the Joker continues to be one of the most iconic characters in all media. Quinn's combination of cheery energy with a capacity for extreme violence makes her the perfect partner-in-crime for Batman's greatest foe.
Currently, in comics, Harley is stronger than the Joker. Harley has been enhanced to superhuman levels of strength by Poison Ivy, as well as enhancing her speed, agility, immune system and poison resistance.
Personality Disorder, specifically, Histrionic Personality Disorder plays a key part in Harley Quinn's life. People with Histrionic Personality Disorder are “pervasive and excessive emotionally and display attention-seeking behavior” (Bornstein 1998).
After years of teasing near-kisses and saucy entendres in their ongoing Harley Quinn comics since 2014, Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti and issue artist Chad Hardin finally had Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn kiss each other on panel for the first time, in continuity.
After the events of "The Final Joke" she found a now "sane" Joker with no memory of his criminal past in the rumble of his tower. She treated him at the hospital, resulting in the two of them falling in love.
Harley Quinn, born Harleen Frances Quinzel, was a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum who was turned into an insane criminal and girlfriend of the Joker.
Jeannie was the pregnant wife of the Joker.
Punchline: Joker's Upgrade
Her true name is Alexis Kaye but calls herself Punchline. She is cold and sadistic, nothing like Harley Quinn. Alexis Kaye is introduced as a student who is infatuated with Joker.
1 Selina Kyle (Catwoman)
Unsurprisingly, Batman's most popular love interest is the antihero and occasional villain Catwoman. Even though they often stand on opposite sides of the law, Batman and Catwoman still understand each other.
Ivy's emotional instability, aggressive and impulsive behavior, and volatile relationship history (such as her on-again, off-again friendship with Harley Quinn and even her efforts to lure Batman into a deadly kiss) offer hints of a borderline personality disorder — while her exploitative tendencies, habit of holding ...
Clearly Ayer's original version had the two's backstory in mind, as Harley Quinn and Deadshot have been romantically involved in their history in the comics.
Injustice: Gods Among Us Year 2
Harley reveals to Black Canary that she has a four-year-old daughter named Lucy who is being raised by her sister. After discovering she was pregnant, Harley left the Joker for almost a year to have their baby instead of abortion.
Joker Jr. was born after The Joker, who had manipulated Harley Quinn into re-entering a life of crime, impregnated her without her knowing. Harley out of shame refused to accept the child and gave him up.
Harley eventually undermined Joshua's confidence and escaped, at which point the Joker demanded that she admit that she was "nothing" without him, or else he would have her killed. She refused, so he ordered the Penguin, Scarecrow, Two-Face, and Bane to attack her.
The story "High School Lows" from DC Saved by the Belle Reve #1 (by Tim Seeley, Scott Kolins, John Kalisz, and Wes Abbott) reveals that Harley's worst fear is a truly corrupted Poison Ivy (aka Pamela Isley).
