澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Harley Quinn has a problem. Everybody still thinks of her as either the Joker's girlfriend, or as his ex, and she's sick of it. She's her own person and i🐓t's tim🔯e to move out of his shadow. Luckily, she has a plan...
Harley Quinn: Black + White + Redder #2 (spoilers from here on in) opens with 'Origin Stories for Dummies' by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kelly Thompson and Annie Wu. In the story, Harley kidnaps Zatanna anꦆd coerces her into using magic to grant her a new origin story. Never one to think small, she chooses to become Batman.
It goes about as well as you might expect...
Harley gets her wish, but finds the reality of being Batman pretty depressing. Sure, she can do the voice and people cower from her in fear, but she feels absolutely terrible all the time - plus the Batsuit itches. Worse, the local goons still only see her in terms 😼of her relationship to the Joke🦂r.
Oh w🧔ell, time to try something different.༒ How about becoming Superman instead?
With an H on her chest ("it stands for Hunk!"), Harley enjoys feeling like a god amongst men🌸... but still, all people talk about is how she's not fought the Joker because "they don't have villains that intense in Metropolis". It's infuriating.
Harley then goes on a whistle-stop tour of different hero origin stories, trying her hand 🉐at being Wo♒nder Woman, Green Lantern ("not that Guy Gardens one"), and finally Aquaman before giving up. This whole idea is clearly not working.
Luckily, both Poison Ivy and Zatanna (who is feeling pretty chill about the whole kidnapping thing) are on hand to give her a confidence boost, reminding her that no matter what pe✤ople say about her, she is an independent woman now and she's much happier than she ever was ꦿbefore.
Shaking herself out of her funk, Harley takes this ego boost to an extreme, declaring, "I am… the greatest origin story of all time. I defeated and escaped a villain that not even Batman can handle. I not only survived, I thrived! I am livin' proof that the Joker has limits, and I ﷽am 𝓀that limit."
It's a bold statement, but not an entirely incorrect👍 one. Harley is living her best life and she'll bash anyone who says otherwise with her baseball bat. Business as usual, then...
