I suspect it's been said here before but 90's Madonna as Harley Quinn is just so incredibly on-point.

And apparently that Jonathan Crane is supposed to look like Jeff Goldblum? I'm not seeing that but now I do really want to back in time somehow and cast this movie in real life.

Yeah it's him. Both Madonna and him were candidates for Scarecrow and Harley in the proposed fifth Batman film that was scrapped. (Courtney Love was another candidate for Harley and Nicolas Cage and Steve Buscemi were also considered for Scarecrow.)

That's definitely what's agreed on in the previous post https://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/10417793.html

On the subject I was racking my brain who the TV produced with the beard and check shirt was supposed to be and I want to say Harvey Fierstein. His appearance reminded me of how he looked in Independence Day.

Who is Scarecrow's patient there?

[cyberghostface]

It’s Bruce although it’s not clear as to what’s going on with him (I.e. if he’s brainwashed or undercover).

Ah, thanks! I thought it looked like him, but older and more beat-up.

Not shown here, but I'm fairly certain the Riddler featured in this issue is meant to be Robin Williams?

Amazing art and great designs!

I love the art in this. The staging and Harley's fluidity compared to Jonathan being hunched over, the only big change being his smile at the end, is so well done.

Also just love Harley's design. She looks fantastic.
