Just what I was gonna say. If Harley is done properly, her upbringing merely made her *vulnerable* to Joker's influence when she got close to him; that combined with her own psychoses, poor impulse control, and dissociative tendencies (remember the "Harley-vision" bits from her first solo series?) are what made her so dangerous. Unlike Joker, she's not EVIL, she's genuinely mentally ill AND suffering from battered spouse syndrome (even after leaving Joker), and THAT's what makes her so tragic.

If it weren't for the fact that Harley, just a few issues back, declared that Joker wasn't "my Mistah Jay any more," I could see her doing this in an effort to win Joker back (I'm sure he'd see the humor in distributing free video game systems packed with explosives), but otherwise? No. No, she wouldn't; she's just not that thoroughly sociopathic. The only reason she'd go on a killing spree is if there was some bigger plan dependent on it. She's *indifferent* to other people's lives (because, again, as seen in the Harleyvision segments, she sees the world as a cartoon and, therefore, her victims will pop back up, good as new, in a few minutes), but she doesn't go out of her way to harm others.

Also, I don't know if it was the writer or the colorist's fault, but... GRAH, Harley has ALWAYS been a BOTTLE blonde! RRRRRGH ADAMANTIUM RAGE! *goes running around screaming that and punching things until James Rolfe punches him out in mid-word*

...um... sorry. Hit my berserk button there. I think that the DCnU is making it bigger every month.
