Created by the squad of Stephanie Phillips , Riley Rossmo , Ivan Plascencia , and Andworld Design , Harley Quinn # 5continues the Mistress of Mayhem ’s encounter with Hugo Strange as she attempts to spare her fast henchman , Kevin , and others kidnap by the supervillain . Harley uses a ployinvolving the public toilet to be escorted away from Strange and get her breakout from his central office .

While she does n’t stop this remark , fans will belike wonder how this condemnation could have ended - and will occupy in any telephone number of options within the blank . Either way , it ca n’t be honest turn over the circumstance of this panel . For appetiser , this has all been fence in by talking about the bathroom - a private , and often unhygienic , place . Additionally , itimplies that Joker and Harleywent into secluded suite together - or even with other people .
It ’d be nice to assume that the bathroom was just a bizarre position that Joker liked to throw party in . It would also be pleasant to be able to assume that Joker and Harley had some casual havoc trick involving can , which could let in destroying toilet via baseball bats , hammers or explosive , or perchance clogging pipes and causing overflows for no rationality other than for gripe . However , with Joker , thing are seldom so simple - or so innocent .

It could be a flippant style ofaddressing abuses Harley has suffered- which would n’t be the best way to handle it . Harley ’s a extremely intelligent character with a doctor’s degree in psychology . She has huge professional cognition about hurt and the trauma she suffer at the hand of the Joker would certainly be uttermost . Harley ’s continual distancing of herself from her former life-time is one that need to continue . She ’s a stronger character who does n’t want to perpetuate contumely for readers . Harley Quinnhas been making progression and has a longsighted journeying onward , butJoker’sabuse should never be taken lightly .
