10 Things You Need To Know About Harley Quinn

DC’s latest movie, Suicide Squad , has a lot riding on it. Not only does it have to pick up the pieces after Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice received a decidedly mixed reception earlier in the year, but it's also got to deliver on months of terrific marketing and publicity that have plugged it as a fresh take on the comic book movie genre.

8) Harley Has Superpowers

As beloved as she may be, Harley isn’t generally thought of as one of the most powerful DC characters. A talented fighter and a sharp mind, maybe, but it’s not like she actually has any superpowers, right?

Well, actually, she does. Given to her by her best gal pal Poison Ivy, Harley ingested a serum which granted her super strength and agility, as well as an immunity to toxins and acid. It’s not exactly Superman’s mega skillset, then, but it must come in handy when tousling with Batman every night. Of course, Harley’s other superpower is her insane level of self-denial about how the Joker feels about her when he repeatedly treats her terribly.

7) She’s Had Other Relationships

Despite her overwhelming connection with Gotham’s greatest criminal, Harley Quinn and the Joker have put a hold on their relationship from time to time and seen other people. In Joker’s case that probably means concentrating even more on bringing down the Bat, but Harley has successfully moved on a couple of times.

Interestingly, she’s hooked up with her Task Force X teammate Deadshot. Seeing as the pair will be working together in Suicide Squad (with the sharpshooter played by Will Smith), we might be about to see this happen on the big screen as well.

Harley’s most famous partner apart from Mr. J though is Poison Ivy. Though initially presented as a very close friendship, the comics have increasingly explored Harley’s bisexual identity and the romantic chemistry between her and the flora-obsessed femme fatale.
