And Harley was like, nah, we not doing that. The queen of fables had to end the bloodline. Tee: She has a line, right? In the animated series, she has a line. The Tempest: Do you consider Harley to be an anti-hero? Especially given her role in Suicide Squad?

“Seeing her translate from the animated series to the comics is a really, really big deal,” she said. Harley is one of the few characters to stir such a fanbase despite not being in the original comics. She was unaware of how much love Harley got before writing the comic. We discussed how fans love seeing Margot Robbie as Harley on screen. She speaks of them with enthusiasm and fervor. We discussed how passionate Harley fans are and Tee Franklin shares her love for the fans. Because she doesn’t need that raggedy man who steals her lipstick… like what? Find your own! I love the fact she finally left the Joker. And she has come so far from being this side character, this sidekick, someone who is used and abused and treated and abused, to just someone who is owning every single thing about her. She is a symbol for domestic violence survivors. Of course, seeing how the Joker treated her and everything… your heart would break for Harley. They were all men, so seeing Harley was like oh, OKAY. I love superheroes, but I like the nasty, mean streak side. I got a love for Wonder Woman, you know? I love her. Tee: When Harley was first introduced in Batman: The Animated Series, I remember being so hyped to see a female villain. The Tempest: What do you think of the evolution of Harley from Batman: The Animated Series, a character who started out as Joker’s sidesick and a temporary character but now has her own identity? Her writing career began with a bang after she crowdfunded for her first book, Bingo Love, produced by Image Comics. She’s also the first Black woman writer with a series at Image. Tee Franklin is queer, Black, and disabled and showcases her talent in these comics. While I haven’t finished the series yet, I was able to talk to the amazing Tee Franklin, the writer of the upcoming comic. The best part? There is a spin-off comic! It’s called Harley Quinn: The Animated Series – The Eat. In the show, she may or may not be with Poison Ivy. Titled Harley Quinn: The Animated Series, the show is debuting almost 20 years after the original Batman series.


Well, she finally left the Joker and is now the star of her own animated series produced by DC Universe for their streaming service. She has become an icon – at this point, who doesn’t know who Harley is? We’ve seen her go through so much! Sometimes, we’ve wanted to reach into the comics and give her a Harley so she could get away from the Joker.

Harley Quinn first made her debut in Batman: The Animated Series in 1992.
