10 Ways The Harley Quinn Film Can Stay True To The Harley We Know And Love

Harley Quinn is known mostly for being the Joker’s girlfriend. Yet, in recent years she has come into her own. The Harley Quinn who was once nothing more than an accessory to the Joker has become a fleshed out character with her own story to tell. So, after the "Suicide Squad" movie came out, there was a lot of talk about how Harley was perceived. People like to point to her and her outfits and say that she’s not a good "role model." Well, if you’ve read the comics you’d know she’s not supposed to be a role model in the first place. However, she is a character who has a story worth telling and that’s why we have to be thankful she’s getting her own film. Here are some things a Harley Quinn fan, like myself, would hope to see in the upcoming Harley Quinn film that make her the Harley Quinn we know and love.

1. Harley Quinn has killed people. She’s not in jail for being quirky; she’s in jail for being a murderer. Therefore, she shouldn’t be anyone’s role model in the first place, outfit aside.


2. She’s an animal lover. In her first solo run one of the people we see her attack is mistreating an innocent dog. She has also adopted several hundred, if not a thousand, animals with her girl, Poison Ivy.


3. In addition to working and owning an apartment building, she’s also a competitive roller derby player, hence the outfit! Also, you think roller derby is violent? Harley takes being a jammer to a whole nother level.


4. She’s incredibly intelligent. Before she became “Harley Quinn” she was Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel, who was one of the most respected psychiatrists in Gotham... Well, until she met the Joker.


5. She’s not a psychopath. She’s actually a very loving and caring individual.


6. She is, however, psychotic…


7) She has a loose grip on reality but she does have morals and empathy. They’re just a little twisted.


8. On a deep level she knows the Joker doesn’t love her, even though she loves him very dearly.


9. While we’re on the subject of the Joker, she fell in love with him while he was her patient and he treats her as nothing more than an object to be used and thrown away because he is a sociopath. He lost every trace of humanity the day he fell into that vat of acid (If you go by the "Killing Joke" comic book not the film because that does not depict anything correctly).


10. Her soul mate is Poison Ivy. Let’s face it, they have a very caring, occasionally romantic relationship. No one treats her better than Poison Ivy. It was Poison Ivy who saved her after the first time the Joker tried to kill her. That also made her immune to Poison Ivy’s kiss, which is normally toxic and gave her slightly enhanced strength and agility. Les be honest, best couple ever.


I wish Margot Robbie well with her venture in making a Harley Quinn solo film. I just hope she does us all a favor and stays true to the Harley we know and love.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
