Harley Quinn is a manic pixie girl
who caters to males by virtue of being hot
who caters to females by virtue of being vulnerable just like me female
who caters to kids because of how she talks and all those colors

She is like merchandise the character all rolled up into one package

>>86324260
all it takes is normie interest and a character will get a solo movie
look at GOTG

Harley has literally always been really popular, man. She was one of the most popular characters from BTAS.

The difference is now DC and WB are capitalizing on it since the Arkham games.

She's not touching her boobs, so it isn't

>>86324364
She really hasn't though
the difference between now and back when she had her first solo is huge

I mean I know she was pretty popular because of the cartoon but DC didn't really do much with her character for like 10 years since she was one of those cartoon characters who didn't have a home anymore

We have reached the point where Harley is so popular it has to be meta hammered home in the comics as well

>>86325033
Also
>red and black hair

>>86324569
oh definitely
almost everything from injustice is used to excuse all her canon bad behavior as bad writing

>>86324880

Pretty much why she became so popular. Feminists probably see her as some crazy, wildcard, because she is being more and more presented as "strong, independent woman bi woman, who don't take no bullshit," when her character originally was the exact opposite: Mentally and emotionally a slave to the Joke, and battered around as basically an object that he owned.

>>86325030
muh waifus

The Flash was better than her and he was there for less than a minute.

>>86325079
>almost everything from injustice is used to excuse all her canon bad behavior as bad writing

As opposed to Batman Beyond forcing her to admit that all the horrible shit she's doing is actually wrong and giving up a life of crime to be a normal person.

That's what I hate about this Harley, she's not a person. She's quirk. She's fucking murderous quirk with a thin layer of "strong womyn is a character right?" on the top.

You have never read a Harley comic.

Nightwing and Blue Beetle aren't nearly as good or even versatile characters as Harley.

Harley isn't popular because DC pushed her hard, she's popular because she is a lightning in a bottle genius character concept virtually unlike anything else in history. DC pushing her only hastened the inevitable.

All the more proof that feminists are as removed from reality as Pluto is from Earth.

>>86325355
Well I think she is no more unique than any other wacky character DC has but somehow she was pushed at the right time when female empowerment characters had become dry and Harley put a new spin on it.

>>86325389
It depends. If you want to see Harley be dunny, you should read her own series. If you want to see Harley kick ass, yoi ahoild read Suicide Squad.

Not that Harley doesn't kick ass in her own comic, but there are quite a few issues that focus more on her stupid brand new supporting cast.

GCS sold like trash tho

>used to fap to thic Harley

But that's just it: Harley Quinn is the only character on Earth who can be both of those things and not have either feel forced.

Not to mention the representation she brings to issues of domestic abuse.

Of course kids love Harley, she was made for a kids' cartoon and was a wacky lol so randumb XD holds up spork XD character.

Now those same little kids are adults and MUH NOSTALGIA.

I like Harley by the way, I loved that fucking cartoon as a little kid. But all this popularity isn't surprising. Might as well ask why the Transformers movies made so much money. Dumb normie appeal + nostalgia for 80s or 90s kids (maybe even 00s kids from the popular AA vidya games for Harley now) = $$$.

>I think this is proof any character can pop if presented with their ass hanging out.

>I have only read nu52 Harley comics

HQ has been a top tier character for years. She was always popular since her inception. It's just she's gotten even more popular since Arkham and the New 52.

Tbqh, I can't get into new Harley Quinn stuff. I just hate the New 52 approach to her. I only like her in Injustice and Bombshells. I don't know what changed but her personality feels different than it did before. Maybe she's more random? Or maybe she's annoying now that she doesn't wear a costume?

I argued with a friend over this character. She got mad because she said she hated how the movie Harley Quinn was an idiot and I told her Harley is not suppose to be intelligent and that triggered her.

It's more random and lack of depth. I know someone will say that Harley is not a deep character and I get that, but she did had a little bit of depth, as seeing in Harley's Holiday episode of BTAS, also this page of her old ongoing (and that whole ongoing) and Injustice by Taylor. Today's Harley feels like a bastardization of the character 'cause it doesn't feel like he had other characterization than funny gal

Wasn't Alan Scott's wife formerly a villain in the same exact vein of Harley Quinn?

I hope Catwoman and Poison Ivy are in it. Joker too but just for a little bit to help move along the Harley plot.

>>86324260
>she rivaled Batman as DC's most popular character

What's so great about Harley Quinn
Why does she have more fans than all other DC heroes especially ones like WW or Supergirl

>>86327549
She was never A list before now imo
Now you can make a legitimate argument that she is DC's most popular character behind Batman

Before you couldn't even say she was more well known than catwoman

So obviously something changed maybe it was the greater exposure from the arkham games but then a lot of dc characters got featured in injustice too so what's so great about harley that they are missing.

>>86327012
which is crazy because she was just created in a cartoon a few years ago.

HQ is super popular, but don't forget that Margot Robbie is a seriously rising star and is being set up to be a super star. Some actors/actresses are draws all on their own. Think Jennifer Lawrence a few years ago...they basically retooled the last 3 Xmen movies to revolve around her.

>>86328479
Margot Robbie is a rising star but she isn't quite on Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johnanssen level yet.
All her movies this year did well at the box office though so she is well on her way to leading lady status

I know, I know, CA sucks balls, but I think Chris Sims actually hit the nail on the head about this almost 3 years ago:

>Either way, this is where you start to see problems from a character standpoint, too. Because she’s so easy to identify with and relate to, and because she rocketed almost immediately to a level of popularity that was pretty evenly split between people who identify with her central tragedy and dudes who just want more sexxxy chixxx in skintight latex, there’s a push to take what looks like a pretty obvious step and recondition her as a protagonist in her own right. The thing is, as obvious as it might seem, it’s not so simple.

>It never really works, because it can’t work. Harley orbits around the Joker in the same way that the Joker orbits around Batman. You need to remove him and at least partially resolve that obsession if you’re going to have her as a protagonist, because you can’t really have your protagonist obsessively pining for a character you’ve spent 70 years shaping as a remorseless obsessive and utterly unsympathetic killer. But if you do that, if you remove that obsession, then you’re not only taking away the foundation of the character, you’re also taking away the one thing that makes her so easy to relate to. You’re left with just a standard issue manic pixie dream girl, and that gets real old, real fast.

>>86329293
Yeah, you were right it really drive home the point of why Harley can't work as a protagonist

Sims is full of shit, any kind of character can work as a protagonist with the right writting.

There is no such thing as a story impossible to tell, when you say that shit is when creativity dies.

>Paul: She'd just be so much more appealing than a Catwoman-type series...
>Bruce: It's tricky though, y'know, cuz they had a Harley comic for a while, and umm... y'know Harley... y'know she's like Barbarina (?), she's a great uh, supporting character, but I'm not sure if you wanna, y'know... I'm not sure if she's a main character.
>Andrea Romano: Yeah, she needs the Joker. It's the two of them together.
>Timm: Look at Batman here... he's a great straightman.
>Dini: When I developed Harley & Ivy as a series, it was for like, late night TV, and that gave her someone to play off of... but if it's Harley solo, they'd have to give her like a family and y'know, crazy relatives who're weirder than she is so, y'know... it's probably a good thing she stays where she is...
