DC is officially killing off Harley Quinn in its main continuity, as the Gotham antihero finally encounters a threat she can't improvise her way out of. Dr. Harleen Quinzel's shocking fate will kick off a murder mystery search for her killer, which DC promises will be one of her comic's wildest arcs yet.
Robbie won't need to wait long to see someone else play Harley. Lady Gaga is set to co-star in the upcoming Joker 2 as a new version of the character opposite Joaquin Phoenix's deranged criminal comedian. The sequel is scheduled to open in theaters on October 4, 2024.
Harley Leaves the Bat Family and Joins the Gotham City Sirens. Harley's decision to leave the Bat-Family comes about after she learns that she herself, not her clone, killed Dick Grayson/Nightwing (Harvey Guillén) while sleepwalking, and the Joker (Alan Tudyk) shot and paralyzed Barbara Gordon/Batgirl (Briana Cuoco).
In time, Harley came to realize the Joker was holding her back and she struck out on her own. She became an entrepreneur and a member of several slightly less-than-reputable super teams (including the Suicide Squad), Gotham City's all-girl gang the Gotham City Sirens, and a traveling sideshow.
Mad Love introduces Harley Quinn as a former psychologist named Harleen Quinzel who fell in love with the Joker during her internship at Gotham City's Arkham Asylum and details her transformation into the Joker's villainous accomplice Harley Quinn, as well as the Joker's lack of respect for Harley.
Harley Quinn finds fulfillment helping villains find healthier ways to be bad. Her new role reveals a passion for educating and guiding others, a positive turn in her journey. Harley's shift from hero to antihero allows her to make a difference in a unique and impactful way.
I've only heard him call Batman “Bats”, but Harley Quinn has some nicknames for him such as “Stupid B-man!” or just “B-man”. The Joker has probably had a few more nicknames for Batman but these are all the nicknames for Batman that I've heard.
While Warner Bros. and DC Films had various other Harley Quinn-oriented films in development, Birds of Prey was the only one with whose development Robbie was directly involved. Robbie reprised her role as Harley Quinn in 2021's The Suicide Squad, a standalone sequel to the 2016 film.
In the episode "Harley and Ivy", Poison Ivy injected a toxic antidote to Harley Quinn, increasing her stamina and allowing her to survive falls like the one she survived in the flashback sequence of this film.
It is then revealed that the Joker's real name is "Jack Oswald White." Martha then shares that she visited the Flashpoint universe's version of Jack Oswald White, discovering him to be a struggling family man supporting his wife and a child as a janitor at Wayne Casino.
Margot Robbie, who portrayed Harley Quinn in the DCEU, will be replaced by Lady Gaga in the upcoming film 'Joker: Folie a Deux'. Margot expressed her excitement to see what Gaga brings to the character and mentioned that she always wanted Harley to be a role that can be passed on to other actresses.
The first and second seasons premiered on DC Universe, before moving to HBO Max for its third season and then Max for its fourth. A standalone holiday-themed special episode premiered on February 9, 2023. In November 2023, the series was renewed for a fifth season.
The clip shows Phoenix's Joker and Gaga's Harley Quinn meeting in Gotham City's Arkham Asylum. Check it out below, ahead of the film's release on Friday, October 4, 2024. Gaga stars as Harley Quinn in the movie, and Atlanta's Zazie Beetz returns as Sophie Dumond.
Later, Arthur goes to Arkham State Hospital and steals his mother's records, and finds out that he was in fact adopted, and that Thomas Wayne is not his father and that Penny is not his true mother.
As Harley recalls, she had ordered some pudding that night, a choice that surprised Jack based on all of the other food varieties offered there. Harley playfully retorted by explaining that pudding was classic, just like him, to which she proceeded by saying his ubiquitous nickname.
Bruce Wayne, also known by his vigilante persona Batman, is a fictional character who is the main protagonist in Christopher Nolan's trilogy of superhero films, based on the DC Comics character of the same name, created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane.
Her biggest enemy has always been the Joker…but it took her a long time to both realize that, and accept that fact! The Joker's current girlfriend, who calls herself “Punchline”, is also Harley's enemy…but I think Harley feels sorry for her, as Punchline is in the same position that she herself once was…
She's dumped the Joker entirely and, these days, is pretty firmly established as more of a heroic type. She's a core part of the current line-up of Birds of Prey while her own title focuses on her life and adventures with her love, Poison Ivy.
Everything seems to be going swimmingly until Arthur lets himself into Sophie's apartment after his mother's death, and she barely recognizes him. Viewers then see alternate versions of Sophie's scenes where Arthur is interacting with thin air, clearly indicating that the entire relationship was a fabrication.
The ending of Batman: Three Jokers establishes that the Joker's wife did not actually die—rather, she fled to Alaska with the help of Gotham police and Batman because she feared her husband would be an abusive father; the police then told the Joker a story about her dying to protect her.
Believe it or not, this tale saw the Clown Prince of Crime himself become pregnant and give birth to a child. The mother of the child? That was none other than DC's famous magical hero Zatanna, who cast a spell on the Joker after he tried to persuade her to start a family with him.
