Expect a fresh makeover on Harley Quinn's character, as Batman: Caped Crusader promises to delve deeper into her psychological expertise.

Harley Quinn is getting a major makeover in Batman: Caped Crusader, and the DC antiheroine’s own creator is involved. Making her debut in the 1992 Batman: The Animated Series episode “Joker’s Favor”, Quinn was introduced as the Arkham psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel. After examining the Joker, Quinzel was manipulated by the “Clown Prince of Crime” to love him. This canonical origin, which later played out even in DCEU movies like Suicide Squad, usually positioned her as a lover and accomplice to the Joker. With subsequent comics, movies, and her eponymous animated TV series, Quinn's popularity has only increased since then.
Expectations among Batman fans have been soaring ever since it was announced that Batman: The Animated Series co-creator Bruce Timm is involved in developing an animated Prime original rooted in Batman’s Golden Age stories and influences from German Expressionism. While the animated Batman show can adapt many stories from the Dark Knight’s rich comic book history, it has the potential to rewrite the origins of more contemporary characters like Harley Quinn. As revealed in the first images of Batman: Caped Crusader, Harley Quinn will appear in this alternate, retro-style Batman adaptation, albeit in a characterization that fans weren’t used to before.
