The first Suicide Squad movie featured her first interactions with the Joker while he was her patient. After he threw her into a vat of chemicals at the Ace Chemicals plant, she kept an on-and-off relationship with the Clown Prince of Crime until she finally broke up with him. After reclaiming her autonomy in Birds of Prey, Harley Quinn is now even more determined and dangerous than ever before. Although she has no superpowers, despite clips from the movie showcasing some sort of flower power, Harley Quinn’s combat skills and unpredictable character remain one of the Squad’s most powerful assets.Once a respected therapist, Harleen Quinzel’s life changed forever when Batman returned the Joker to Arkham Asylum one night. While Dr. Quinnzel (Margot Robbie) thought she was helping the Joker, the clown prince of crime was slowing turning the good doctor mad, according to the 1994 graphic novel The Batman Adventures: Mad Love. Following in his footsteps, Harley jumped freely into a vat of acid to become Harley Quinn, the girlfriend of the Harlequin of Hate.
