Detective Comics #23.2 :Harley Quinn

[superfangirl1]

Harley is free of the Suicide Squad and she's having fun in Gotham, but first she has to give out free video game systems to all the boys and girls! Then she dresses up like a cop and visits a police station with quite a bit of dynamite in her car.

Major difference- Most of those traumas happened as adults. Joker the comedian was an adult. Harvey's acid was as an adult. They, as adults, chose to respond to a bad event in bad ways.

Child abuse as the primary source of villains has some implications I'm not fond of.

Two-Face was abused as a child. Riddler, as I said, was abused as a child. Scarecrow was hideously bullied and harassed as a child, I dunno what his family life was like.

If you read the scans, Harley's dysfunctional home life led her to value order and drove her to excel. It was only later, as an adult, after meeting the Joker, that she decided order was bullshit and became a supervillain.
