>Harley Quinn is a hero who's always telling jokes and pulling pranks, has no connection to the Joker, strong self-esteem instead of crippling dependency issues, uses red and blue hair dye as a costume
Why is this even considered the same character at this point?

It's a show for little girls bud
This. But even if you mean in general, people don't read comics and just assume Harley has always been like she is now.
It's not the same character. It's a child-friendly version that capitalizes on the character's popularity to sell toys to little girls while still giving them a rolemodel that parents won't find suspicious.
The weirdest thing is that she is STILL a villain.
It's like if Lex Luthor was suddenly marketed as a good boy role model for children,while making every kind of horrific action on the comics.
It isn't the same character. Are you not familiar with capeshit and the way it reinvents characters to the point they're indistinguishable from their old selves every few years, to appeal to the current zeitgeist and continue raking in the shekels?
well, Lex Luther did join the Justice League at one point
He's been a hero for a long time since Forever Evil
This isn't the comics. This is a cartoon for little girls. Do try and ease your autism.
Man, the Justice League with Lex, Captain Cold and Jessica Cruz in it, especially in the beginning of this arc when Superman refused to work with Luthor and walked out was the most interesting shit in the world to me, and it went absolutely nowhere. What a shame.
>reminder that her bio used to mention her murdering 300 kids with an exploding portable game update before that was edited out
>making anything about Harley, even just a same-looks character, into a role model for kids
What in the actual fuck.
>MUH EXPLODED NEETS
Let go man. I know it hurts thinking of losers dying because you can relate. But you gotta move on. It's been years and is an inconsequential moment that nobody but you remembers.
She's cuter and makes for a better waifu now, so who cares.
Yeah pretty much. If Freeze was in the same position, we'd be seeing him getting marketed as 'loyal, determined, and willing to get the job done no matter what'
All the while omitting the job is 'fixing his dying wife' and 'no matter what' includes 'killing you and everyone else that isn't his wife'

I really hurt you with the neet comment, huh? :^)
t. salty harleyfag who is now overcompensating in response to being called out
Yes,and I'm comparing to a cartoon for little boys making Luthor a rope model.
ITT: Autism
Should have used Duela Dent, since she's actually a teenage girl and has been a hero in the past.
console peasants deserve nothing less
Harely is just an anti-hero Dick Grayson at this point
I don't care about this but I'll laugh my ass off when people use this to complain about other Harley depictions, like Dave Willis's epic bitch fest about Starfire a few years back.

How is he not a good role model for boys?
It's not any further a departure from OG Harley than Skwad Harley was.
We couldn't let the children to believe that baldies are people, could we?
So? They made Killer Frost and Poison Ivy heroes too.
They both started as villains that were more or less in control, making their own decisions because they wanted to.
Harley started off as a clingy, desperate bint that did what she did in the vain hope that the Joker would notice her, mistaking his obsession with Batman as infatuation for her.
He isn't /fit/. He is a manlet on superdrugs. Probably has butt implants
/fa/ as fuck
Until New 52/Rebirth he literally never had a good super suit.
>bint
I wonder what the ratio of Amerifags to Britfags is on Sup Forums
Could it have its own war?
>Salty PCuck
Duela Dent hasn't been in movies though.
>being yourself is the greatest superpower
She's mentally ill.
Pretty sad that DC is so deprived of interesting and fun girl characters they have to bleed Harley to the point she's unrecognizable.
Duela Dent is Z list at best.
>B-but she killed all those NEETs!
Harley did the right thing. Nobody mourned their loss. The sun shined a little brighter that morning.
>dressing like a slut is good!
>being a clingy unstable psycho is good!
>worshiping men who don't give a shit about you is good!
>killing TONS of innocent people is good!
HA HA HA HA WOW
What the fuck is wrong with DC? Even if you wanna cash in on the popularity of the whore in suicide squad it STILL has the same comparison problems.
You know what? Those kids fucking deserved it. It's their fault for trying to enjoy life in Gotham.
Gotham is hell, and it will break you. Deal with it, nerd.
You sure about that?
>It's a child-friendly version
Ironic as hell considering the original Harley with all the trappings OP pointed out came from a cartoon show aimed at kids.
Every time I glance at that picture from the catalog, I think it says "Killing Yourself Greatest Super Power"
I've been on Sup Forums too damn long
>#1 female in comics flips between Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn
>#3 female in comics is now undisputedly Killer Frost
>DC Superhero Girls outsells every Marvel trade except for Civil War
>Storm constantly buried
>Invisible Woman constantly buried

>Carol at cancellation levels despite a years long push
>Kamala at cancellation levels
How does DC do it, bros? Their female roster is an absolute gold mine. Who's next to hit it big? I hope it's Vixen.
DChads actually talk to women
Don't you know that's slowly becoming the norm nowadays? Except for the killing people.
Its just he good old DC Superhero Girls way.
yeah well... how're your movies doing? loser
this is not something new
Dont you remeber how was Rogue on the original xmen ?
>Not saying "Be a hero"
Reminder that it was all a dream that directly lead her to try and be a better person.
Crazy quilt is a teacher.
Now is the time.
>>Harley Quinn
>>HERO
... user I've got some bad news for you...
>that did what she did in the vain hope that the Joker would notice her, mistaking his obsession with Batman as infatuation for her.
That's wrong tho, the joker took notice of her and decided to wrap her to.his will and took her along on crimes, this isn't a one-sided relationship.
Your mistake is assuming mayority of harley fans reads comics.
Someone should make this edit.
Spidergirl was the top of the top, but someone in editorial or higher hated DeFalco and that she was doing so well so they killed her off.
Big talk coming from Sup Forums and this thread especially.
Spider-Girl had a long 12 year run. Yeah, they tried to kill it multiple times, but it had to go eventually.
It's not considering her origins are in television, and she was the star of a big movie despite being nothing but slutty eye candy,
It's the same with Deadpool, most people know him form most media as the funny meme man.
Marvel Hates Women unlike DC
Marvel's trying its hardest to pander to womanchildren in the cities and only them.
N52 did...things.
Add to that list Catwoman, who is always going to be hovering somewhere near the top of the female character hierarchy, and the niche but consistently strong Raven and Starfire fanbase due to the cartoons. Marvel's the biggest fucking sausagefest as far as mainstream popular characters.
Nobody knows her, she's nothing for general audiences and her name is ugly
That wasn't the animated series, I wasn't in the Arkham Games, It wasn't in comics pre-N52 ...I think It wasn't part of the canon in N52 neither...and I don't remember a non canon comic with that story. Where did you read that?!
Nobody knew who Harley quinn was before suicide squad, That's how you introduce to thewe characters. You don't worry about their popularity.
>when you want to tell the porn artists to get to work but you don't want to lose your job
I remember that one porn comic where she grows a horsecock
maybe kids but I was surprised when a 16 years old girl told me she wanted to watch suicide squad cause she watched the TV show Batman in 2004. that show was bad but she remembered the character.
What did they say in the screening before the release of the movie? about abusive Joker/Harley
>that's not the relationship we grew up with
This was weird but they said so.
I remember that too user.
I don't have problems with Duela if you thought so, no but Duela doesn't sound commercial
Baldie
I do find it a little disconcerting that Harley is being both used as a sexpot symbol who is also an antihero at best or more usually a tragic villain with a history of abuse... and as a more fun loving role model for girls simultaneously.
Seriously, this isn't like having Batman portrayed as a child friendly Caped Crusader and a Dark Knight for older audiences; the schism here is kinda wrong.
Also, I kinda feel like Wonder Woman/Diana being in this instead of any of the Wonder Girls is kinda like demoting one third of DC's main three by having her be a high schooler with girls who derive their mantles from Bats and Supes. It was probably more because of brand recognition thank anything, but really that's the problem here is that Dc isn't really thinking too hard about what they're doing here.
There is no main three. There is no trinity. There is only the World's Finest and then everyone else.
WW is secondary like Flash and GL. This is where she belongs.

Villains being sold as heroes huh.
My biggest problem isn't Harley and Ivy being presented as superheroines in training - this is its own thing, and at least they're thematically consistent with most of the faculty being reformed supervillains.
But when they make a big fuss about Barbara in the first episode because LOL U CAN'T BE A SUPER-STUDENT WITHOUT POWERS, when Harley was RIGHT THE FUCK THERE... I was mad, but then I remembered "I forgot she has low-key 'metahuman' strength and agility in the comics because why the fuck not." I don't think the writers were aware of that, but it's arguable.
...and then fucking CATWOMAN showed up as a student, and I was like "SO YOU'RE JUST FUCKING FULL OF SHIT HUH?"
>this shit is what Ever After High gets canned for
in about 3 weeks Lee is in for the realization that most of the world actually doesn't give much of a fuck about Wonder Woman.
And that either Harley or the Joker would outsell Superman in a heartbeat.
Oh shit! you mean THIS?
>Dat feel when someone quotes your image
Wait, Superhero girls is canon with the main DCU?
>Show for little girls
>Margo Robbie booty shorts Harley was all over t.v. for SKWAD.
These girls must be confused as shit or they're going to be sexy as shit in the slutty way but be good people. idk man.
Nah, I was just echoing a lot of observations about how Harley has evolved & been sanitized by WB in pop culture.
Luthor has been on the good side for, like, three years already in the comics.
>little girls dressing up in margo robbie booty short
Hot
How does a non powered idiot manage to get into Waller's Superhero High anyway?
>le be yourself
What do people even mean by this?
Literally how can you not be yourself?
They grabbed several villains just to have more female characters.
Cheetah, Killer Frost, Poison Ivy,
Vixen has a cartoon. It's her time to shine now.
>Literally how can you not be yourself?
How autistic are you? People often adopt behaviors that don't reflect how they are in private for the sake of getting others to think they're nice or interesting or otherwise worth having as a friend.
>b-but they're still technically themselves!
You fucking know what it means you autist.
