They may be interesting characters to read about, but their relationship is not what any sane person would consider to be “cute”, or even healthy for that matter. I’ve seen a lot of girls post things about wanting a relationship like the Joker and Harley’s and I can’t help but think that either they don’t know their source material or that I should feel very, very concerned for them.
Here’s the thing: I love to read about them, but I’m not going to romanticize an abusive relationship.
Hence why I did not select them for my recent Cute Comic Couple post despite the fact that I love the Joker and I love Harley Quinn. Sure, the Joker and Harley Quinn are a famous and well-loved (on-and-off-again) couple in the comic book world, but that does not automatically mean that they are a good couple. Just like I am not pro-destroying-entire-planets, pro-tying-damsels-to-railroad-tracks, or other dastardly things villains do just because I choose to read about them. I mean, c’mon, dat Rogues Gallery! So, although I love me some villains and reading about all the awful things they do, this does not mean I am pro-messed-up-relationships like that of Harley Quinn and the Joker. I’ve always been a fan of the bad guys, which is one reason I think I’ve also always been so into Batman to begin with. I have a lot of love for these characters despite the fact that they both have done some pretty awful things. Originally published in February of 1994 and set in the continuity of Batman: The Animated Series, Mad Love gives us Harley Quinn’s origin story and follows her as she plans and attempts to carry out the ultimate scheme to impress the Joker and win his affections once and for all. In honor of the holiday I decided to re-read and review an old favorite of mine, The Batman Adventures: Mad Love by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm. At what point did my life go looney tunes? How did it happen? Who’s to blame?” - Harley Quinnįirst things first, Happy Valentine’s Day to all of my fellow bloggers out there! ❤ and hopelessly in love with a murderous, psychopathic clown.
