"And then... I threw a rock at him!"
"..."
"It missed."

[shadowpsykie]

"it was a big rock"

[glprime]

"So, Harvey, about this giant coin..."

[sunaya]

Oh, those scans were so wonderful. I can't believe I haven't seen nor heard of that particular story before! And motto to the best rogues gallery there is. :)

[shadowpsykie]

it is by far oneo f the best h arly Quinn stories aside from Mad Love.

[shadowpsykie]

OMG spelling fail....

I like Harley far more like this. She's never been a badguy (and i don't think she has ever been directly involved in joker's killings)

she just ahd a thing for the bad guy. (i like that she is kinda finally over that, with the residual left over feelings that never really go away despite him poisoning her food :)

she is actually very intelligent and insightful (she was a REAL doctor after all) and understands human behavior very well (heh she even deduced that batman must have had a traumatic childhood expierience that probably involved the death of his parents that caused him to assume the batman persona. also her insight into Arnold, and she gets some awesome moments in Gotham City Sirens)

i honestly dont know why people keep getting surprsied (in universe) at how intelligent Harleen is. But i am all for momenst of "oh yeah she WAS a doctor"

[psychopathicus_rex]

Well, it depends on the version of her, really - there HAVE been times when she's been written like an utter nitwit. 'Gotham Girls' Harley certainly fit that mold - although, to be fair, she was very funny that way.

I bought Detective Comics: Private Casebook and Detective Comics: Heart of Hush, but the rest of Dini's run on Detective Comics are hard to find in trades now. I've always wanted the one that has this story in it.

[darkknightjrk]

Yeah--I have Detective (the first trade) and Heart of Hush. I need to get Private Casebook and Night & The City. I'm pretty sure that's all of them, right?

[ghosty732]

I think that's all of them. This specific story comes from Night and the City.

Private Casebook is still readily available in bookstores/online. Detective and Night and the City are not as readily available.

I could buy them used, but I have such a hard time justifying something that's not even brand new and is double the price...

I had really hoped this was the start of some set upt for Harley trying to date Bruce. Create a silly love triangle.

[darkknightjrk]

That could make for a fun story--Harley goes for either Bruce or Batman, because he doesn't hit her (well, like Joker does, anyway) and part of her hopes that it gets her ole' Puddin' jealous. :D

[akodo_rokku]

She *did* go out with "Bruce" in Gotham City Sirens -- of course, it was Hush in disguise.

[mullon]

I know, it was such a fucking waste of a story.
