DC Finally Gave Me The Harley Quinn Story I"ve Always Wanted... With A Completely Different DC Character

Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for The Penguin.Harley Quinn still has to fully dive into the story that I have always wanted to see explored with the character in live-action, but I"m glad to see how powerful it can be, thanks to The Penguin. Margot Robbie"s Harley Quinn was easily my favorite part of the DCEU. As such, I"m holding out hope that she will return in the new DC Universe. Given how actors from James Gunn"s DCEU projects have already returned to the DCU as their characters, I feel good about Robbie making a return as her version of Harley Quinn.
There is so much yet to be explored with Harley Quinn in live-action. I would love to see Harley develop a relationship with Poison Ivy in the DCU, just like in the comics and the Harley Quinn animated series. That is something that Robbie herself has talked about in the past. The same goes for Harley possibly joining the Gotham City Sirens. While I was waiting for Harley"s DCU role to be confirmed, I was positively surprised to see that the story I"ve wanted to see for her in live-action was given to a key member of The Penguin"s cast.
Harley Quinn's Popularity Ignored Her Tragedy Too Much Margot Robbie's Portrayal Is Universally Beloved Close Harley Quinn has a tragic origin story. On the outside, Harley is depicted as an insane character who thinks little of the consequences of her actions. While that is mostly true for the character, there is a whole other side of her, guided by the dormant part of Harleen Quinzel that lives on, that could be more developed in the movies. Sure, Suicide Squad did touch on some of that with flashbacks to Harley"s time with Jared Leto"s Joker. However, I don"t think the trauma he put her through was shown nearly enough in the film.
Birds of Prey did a better job of showing how the Joker"s abuse influenced Harley"s life. She put herself through awful situations just to please the character, but in the end, Harley was dumped and thrown on the streets. Even then, I hoped the situation would have been addressed in a more serious manner that showed how much abuse the Joker put her through during their relationship. Birds of Prey was, in large part, about Harley taking her life back into her hands, but delegating the suffering she went through to a brief animated sequence was a bad choice.
The Penguin's Sofia Falcone Story Is Everything I Ever Wanted For Harley Quinn Cristin Milioti Is Stealing the Show Every Week Close I""m a big fan of Colin Farrell"s portrayal of the Penguin. While the character is a worthy protagonist to follow, Cristin Milioti"s Sofia Falcone has slowly become the most interesting character on HBO"s The Penguin. When she first appeared, I knew there were multiple layers to her and was waiting to see what the show had in store for her mysterious ten-year stay at Arkham State Hospital. However, I was not expecting that The Batman spinoff would bring a perfect version of the story of abuse that I wanted to see addressed regarding Harley Quinn.
