ITEM # 0077A Batman Adventures – Mad Love

Harley Quinn Origin

Harley Quinn and Joker try to ambush James Gordon at the dentist office, but Batman gets the drop on them and even mocks Joker for being too predictable. They escape, but Joker's pride is wounded, and Harley can't even get a smile from him. Eventually tossed out with the hyenas, she blames Batman for standing between her and Joker.

In flashbacks, we see Harleen Quinzel’s past — her gymnast scholarship to Gotham University, her seductive manipulation of professors, and her eventual posting at Arkham Asylum where she meets and falls in love with Joker, breaking him out to become Harley Quinn.

Determined to remove Batman from the picture, Harley crafts a meticulous plan to capture him, dangling him over a tank of piranha. But Batman plants the idea that Joker would be furious if she killed him alone. Convinced, she calls Joker, who rushes to the scene.
