Suicide Squad #6: Harley's DCnU Origin

[aeka]

Just like before, Dr. Harleen Quinzel meets the Joker at Arkham for the first time:





And then, he does the one thing that makes her fall in love with him:





And then Harleen breaks down and cries upon seeing the severed pinky finger of the slain crime lord(?).

All in all, with a few differences (such as the apparent chemical bleaching of her skin), Harley's DCnU origin is more of the same.

SO, THE SHOCKING NEW ORIGIN OF HARLEY QUINN IS..... exactly as I though it was the thole time. Mad love was never in canon and Harley Quinn one shot never covered up her interactions with Joker, so I just assumed it went down kind of like this. I always though Harley was deep down in her always like she is now and Joker just simply opened the door.

I really expected they would do something shocking and controversial. Not saying I wanted them to do something like that, but its just... suprising. Like, if they get rid of that horrible new outfit, I think Harley is pretty much exactly the same character she was.

If there is anything that annoys me about this, is that I want Harley and Joker together again (And i doubt thats what writer intended for readers to want). Seriously, I am tired of her being solo. I dont get why writers feel that the need to separate them. Because they want to tell stories with them not working together? Well, its not like Batman always does everything with Robin. With them being together, DC can please both audiences.
