• 10 : BATMAN: HARLEY QUINN

    • Poison Ivy finds a beat up Harley Quinn lying amidst the rubble in No Man's Land. Taking her back, she gets Harley to tell her the story of how she fell in love with the Joker, gave up everything for him, only to have him try to kill her! Ivy gives Harley a little extra zest, and our fave clown gal is out for revenge - both on the B-Man and her Puddin'!! But Joker wises up and says his sorry,and he and Harls get the last laugh on that Blasted Bat!
    Harley's debut to mainstream didn't let a single folk down (to my knowledge!) The art is beautiful, the story glorious. By giving Harls a little extra edge suitable to her mainstream settings, the relationship between her and the darker, eviller mainstream Joker manages to work - esp. since in very much keeping with Mistah J, he tries to kill her because he's fallin in love with her!HA! The story is funny and bittersweet - a classic Joker/Harley romp. They beat the crap out of each other, but a simple "sorry" is suffice to have them back in each others arms! Drawings inspiration from Mad Love and Harley and Ivy (Ivy makes an appearance, to everyone's delight!) the story gives Harley her niche in mainstream, remains true to the characters, and is a thoroughly satisfying read!! 
  • 9 : GOTHAM ADVENTURES #10

    • Harley's has once again been deemed sane and released from Arkham! Word is,she's gonna write a tell all novel about her years with the Joker. Needless to say,Mistah J ain't too pleased about that.....but things aren't always what they seem, and Harley's "Harlequin" romance hurts his pride in more ways than one.
    This is a really great, sympathetic Harley story. Here we see a "reformed" Harley, out and about and determined to live a life free of the Joker's love.But she still longs for him! The story is really funny and yet bittersweet as well, especially when we see Harley's hurt at being unloved by Joker. Apart from that, we get one of those much desired stories - Harley working solo!! And even though she's not in costume this time around, she's still got her unmistakeable flair!
  • 8 : JOKER'S FAVOR

    • Charlie Collins cusses Joker on the street. Joker agrees to spare his life if he promises to do him a favor one day. Joker calls on that favor in a dibaolical scheme to kill the entire G.C.P.D!!! But Charlie is a hero in the end.
    This is Harley's first appearance EVA,which is why I included it.The story is pretty fun and cool, but it's major importance is that this is the episode that first introduced Harley to all of her oldest fans - the one where her personality, vivacity and wit was first impounded on their brains. A collective "wow" went up from every HQ fan when this episode aired, it was their first taste of her and what was to come. .
  • 7 : BATMAN ADVENTURES #28

    • Joker devises a wicked scheme to make the city's councilmen temporarily insane and have them kill at Christmas. Harley's helping him in the guise of a male psychiatrist.However her passion for her Puddin she cannot hide, and when she's revealed she takes a dose of that insanity formula...and is lost in her delusions.
    While I've never really loved Mike Parobeck's art, I adore this book!! The story is just so absoulutly sweet, funny, smart and Harley!!!! The sight of Harley kissing the Joker while she's disguised as a man is just priceless!!! Most of this book is just demonstrating how obsessed Harley is with Joker, but it has other cool moments too. The final page is terribly sweet!!!!
  • 6 : HARLEQUINADE

    • The Joker's stolen an A-bomb and the only way to find him is to use someone who thinks like him...you guessed it...Harley! She takes the B-man up and down and round and round before finally realising where her man is, and typically, she betrays Batsy and runs for her man. But in a twist, it looks as though her man has betrayed her, and so she helps B-man get the last laugh....before rushin back into Joker's arms.
    This was Harley's first solo episode! The episode where much of the action was a result of Harley. Harley was the star of this episode, even more so than the Joker, and it's a wonderful, fun and enjoyable show.It shows she can work by herself as a character,so important! Again, we get to see the extent of Harley's devotion to her Puddin, and some beautiful moments at the end where the cuddle.tee hee.This episode is another truly excellent one, which showcases Harley in all her glory!
  • 5 : BEWARE THE CREEPER

    • In a twist on Batman creating Joker, Joekr creates the Creeper - a tryhard clone who rips Joker's act off and goes on a rampage on the city. Depressed and jealous, Joker send Harley out after him and Creeper falls utterly in love with her. How can Harley make this bozo understand she's a one-clown woman?On top of that Joker's trying to annihilate him and Batman's trying to deal with three utter psychopaths loose in the city
    "Wanna try my pie, Puddin" the sight of Harley covered in banana cream pie musta done somethin to the Joker - he wuz just too irritated by that loser Creeper.WHat a fantastic episode! It even made Creeper seem slightly interesting (although it also showcased the fact hes a Joker tryhard) And it was wonderful to see Harley's ever steadfast devotion,and other aspects of her - like her willingness to kill if needs be. *sigh* It was just totally fun, cool,and quintessential Harley
  • 4 : THE BATMAN AND ROBIN ADVENTURES #8

    • Ivy zaps Robin with her special lipstick and he's totally under her control.However, when he starts using his training to help them plan awesome heists, and Ivy begins paying far more attention to him than her supposed best friend, Harley gets super jealous and takes action...which she hopes will be lethal. However that dratted Bat steps in and once again foils their schemes!
    This story is really cute and funny. It shows how jealous and protective Harley is for those she loves, and again shows she will attempt to take a life.I think everyone sees her as just a sweet enabler, but she's truly insane - so in ways she's unpredictable.Especially about her friends.It nice to sometimes see her without the Joker. She works well with Ivy and the action between the two is great in this book.
  • 3 : WORLD'S FINEST

    • Joker has stolen 20 pounds of kyptonite and intends on using it on Superham!!! Lex agrees to pay him one billion dollars for the favor and Batman is forced to go to Metropolis to help the boyscout out.However, there is no honor amongst thieves and it's not long before tempers flare up between the Clown Prince and the Baldie, not to mention Harley and Mercy - as if that isn't enough Bruce and Lane are in lurrrrrve, Lane and Kent discover Bruce's secret identity and Wayne discovers Kent's,and Joker takes a giant smile to the sky to destroy Metropolis. However the combined team of strength (no brains) and brains(and strength) save the day.Foo.
    The three-parter World's Finest is truly superb!!A great story, great action, great animation.....and great characters. Harley is adorable in this episode, and the action and interplay between her and the Joker is spot-on.It's a small detail, but I loved the attention paid to Harley's movements...the way she moved,exactly like a psychotic clown!!This episode is just a pure classic...in both a Batman and a Harley respect.
  • 2 : HARLEY AND IVY

    • Joker ain't happy with Harley! So he kicks her out.In a desperate attempt to win back his approval Harley goes to steal the Harlequin Diamond and in doing so bumps into Poison Ivy. Ivy wants to awaken Harleys inner strength and self esteem so she takes her under her wing and the two go on a demented crime spree.When Joker hears about it he's none too happy, and tracks the two down to take back his Harley - and the goodies they've stolen!! Once again that blasted Bat ruins everything...
    This episode is just awesome in every respect!! Definetely one of the best of the entire series it's fun, witty, insightful and gorgeous!!!! It's the episode where Harley and Ivy first make friends so that's very important. It also examines in reasonably close detail the Joker and Harley's relationship and reveals..*tear*...that Joker really does need Harley!!! YAY!!! It's just an incredibly enjoyable watch 
  • 1 : MAD LOVE (comic version)

    • Harley just wants to please her man!(in every way!!!) But she can't seem to do anthinr right. While lost in memories of how she fell in love with him,she gets the bright idea that if she kills the Batman - her Puddin will see her true worth, know he loves her, and what's more - he'll be ready to get married and settle down! But things dont' always work out the way you want them too,and killingthe Batman is a priveledge Joker reserves for himself...so the discovery of this scheme is enough to send him off the deep end...and Harley off a five story building. And she surives and STILL loves her man! Hoo boy!
    This is the ultimate Harley story. Perfect script, perfect art, it tells us WHY Harley became Harley and shows us!!! Not only that, it really does have two storylines - (the flashback and the attempt on Batman's life) and it proves totally that the Joker is Harley's main motivation to crime and insanity.But it also shows Harley is smart and capable to think by herself and devise schemes - she'd just rather do it in the shadow of her Puddin!!
