Suicide Squad
Warning : contains spoilers forSuicide police squad : Get Joker # 2 !
Once a simple accomplice of the Joker , Harley Quinnhas become one of the most popular DC anti - heroes in recent history - but while the DCEU proceed develop her character in new and exciting ways , the comics are far less respectful . Quinn has appear in three DCEU picture so far , and each one present her a chance to grow and change as a somebody . But inSuicide Squad : Get Joker # 2,written by Brian Azzarello with artistry by Alex Maleev and colour by Matt Hollingsworth , Harley is do by as little more than an physical object .
TheSuicide Squad : Get Jokerseries revolves around Amanda Waller picking Jason Todd , the Red Hood , to start the titular Suicide Squad on a mission to locate and kill the Joker . Some members of the team include Plastique , Wild Dog , Yonder Man , Silver Banshee , and Harley Quinn . As is the custom of the Suicide Squad , everyone is implanted with an explosive that Waller can detonate if a team extremity lessen out of line . But the deputation goes horribly incorrect : Joker finds and attack Amanda Waller , steal the box that controls the remote control - controlled bombs , andthe Suicide Squad ’s life history is effectively in the Joker ’s hands .

To say the scene is degrading would be an understatement , but it ’s specially contemptuous considering the strides Harley has made in the DCEU . 2016’sSuicide Squadmay have been knock for giving Harley a close and lean costume while the male members of the squad wore operational organic structure armor into battle ( or at least charge or else of high-pitched hound ) , but these mistake were chasten in 2020’sBirds of Preyand 2021’sThe Suicide Squad . The latter two film give up Harley to be her own character , no longer tied to the Joker . If the Harley Quinn from the DCEU found herself in the above office , she would have quickly fritter the Jokeras before long as she entered the building . Unfortunately , Suicide Squad : Get Joker # 2presents her as a plot gimmick at best .
For someone who began her career as a simple Joker pal inBatman : The Animated Series , Harley ’s type is fascinating . Mad Love , in which Harley was seduced by the Joker , still remains a highlight of the serial - but that episode is over 20 long time old . While the DCEU has recognize thatHarley Quinn’sportrayal ought to commute , DC Comics remains steadfastly devoted to maintaining the demeaning condition quo from the 90s .
