Injustice Harley. 

I think that, despite being a relatively recent DC addition, Harley Quinn is a character that 100 different fans can feel 100 different ways about (especially based on the story/media that defines her in their eyes). Personally, having grown up with the animated series, I’ve never really felt as much of a connection to modern Harley, because I was always rooting for her to break the jokers control and get her life as Harleen Quinnzel back. Episodes like Harlequinade and Harley’s Holiday made me think she was never too far gone, and always capable of coming back, given distance from the Joker and time to recover. I’ve never been a big fan of attempts to reclaim her as a girlboss she-villain/vigilante, because it still feels like she is playing out the role assigned to her by her abuser.

You have no idea how existentially horrifying it is to learn that your thumbnails alternate between red & blue.

This version Harley is definitely one of the best versions

I like her turn, she at first makes a cult of joker but by injustice 2, is genuinely part of the bat family by the end, also I am convinced putting green arrow with Harley and Canary was a great idea, Harley learns good from (IMO) the Kindest and Nicest hero, the flash comes close but he’s not exactly all there in this timeline. I love her redemption in this timeline!

To me, THIS is PEAK Harley. She gets clear-minded and she becomes finally the hero she was destines to be.

I relate to Harley. I wanted to be Batgirl but I grew up to be a bi psychology-obsessed goofball with a slight Brooklyn accent that is trapped in a horribly abusive relationship and wears basically only red and black. And I hated her character for years! I think it's because I didn't want to be like her. She was seen as annoying and doomed to be in an awful relationship and her own destruction. But now I see her as a symbol of hope or at least a lesson for troubled and unloved kids. It's nice seeing her win for once and putting her kind heart to work. Comics can be so important.

It always surprises me how much better the Injustice comic is to the games. It feels like Nether Realm really simplified everyone, which is a massive shame, because Injustice is how a lot of people met these characters.

Best Harley Quinn voice

I also generally don't care for main universe harley, however the Harley Quinn from the White Knight universe is beyond phenomenal

That line from Superman made me tear up...

Ma and Pa Kent are the only people in that book that displayed the correct response to Quinn. Unyielding contempt.

For as divided as people are about the injustice universe, I maintain that This is one of the best versions of Harley Quinn in her history

This Harley Quinn is a villain to me, she literally helped Joker to put that bomb in the city and suffered no consequences for that.

Harley Quinn is weird, and feels like she has two separate but related versions that need to stop trying to co-habitate the same character: The Harley who dug her own grave, and the Harley fighting to escape it. Modern Harley Quinn is largely about her being an empowered former abuse victim, about rising above the toxic influence of her *staggeringly* aweful ex, and as far as modern super hero characters trying to portray and give heroism to disenfranchised people goes, that's some pretty A+ material actually, and it being compelling is why this video exists. I like that Harley on her own merits, it's a good character, but I also think it's at odds with her backstory as a psychiatric proffessional who got into this mess *by her own choice* as someone who already had *every sensible reason* to realize she should never have been involved with the Joker. Harley's original backstory kinda doesn't *work* for Harley as an Abuse Victim who fights to escape it. Harley from BtAS is still a *victim of abuse* of course, but she's not an attempt to portray abused women, the abuse is apart of her story, not the focus. The focus, imo, is much more on the woman who had the underlying issues to get *trapped* in that relationship in the first place. A less real, and less sympathetic depiction of an abusive relationship, to be sure, but also one that you can more easily believe when the fucking Joker is involved- Nobody right of mind would have ever entered a relationship with him in the first place. Both of these characters are good, to me. They're fun characters to have in a superhero setting, but they don't mesh well as the *same character* imo. I think Harley Quinn needs a new backstory, one where she *compromised* into villainy, rather than *leaping* if you want her to be heroically rising above the toxic influences that *lead her* to compromise until she didn't think she had any morals left to give, and didn't think she had any way out, until she got her chance, and made it real.

You know the funny thing? Almost everything said in this video can apply to the mainline canon Harley as well. Injustice really is a smaller version of that character. From the beginnings as the victim and assistant of a monsterous Joker, to her sudden freedom and questioning of herself, to the help she recieved through meeting new people, to the eventual conclusion of heroics. Its all there, just a little more messy.

I unfortunately have the exact opposite opinion of injustice Harley. I feel like there were no consequences for her role in the death of MILLIONS of people, not even prison time. The scene that solidified my opinion was when batman criticised superman for recruiting villains that were also murderers, when had a mass murderer like Harley as one of his closest allies. Also she was creeping on Billy Batson/Shazam

I still think BTAS Harley is the best. It’s something so twisted and hard to watch that she gets beat up and abused from joker but then she blames herself for everything and makes excuses for. As a Harley fan I just want to see that. We need to see that! It shows so much of her character. Sure I enjoy when Harley kicks ass and everything but it almost doesn’t matter when she has not starting point to begin from. Injustice is like her growth from getting out of her abusive relationship. Which is why it feels so empowering that she can do all of that

OLD SPICE BODY WASH

I was waiting for this video so bad, this Harley is my favorite, the one comic that made me love her.

I once played a video game character class in overwatch and one of Ana's voice lines is "I won't leave a broken world behind" and Harley Quinn is similar in the comics for not wanting to leave a broken world behind just like Ahsoka Tano in the clone wars not wanting to leave a broken galaxy behind at least until Dave Filoni decided she should only help who she knows needs help.

I love how you always manage to make these funny jokes that roast the inconsistences' but overall make a good video that always has the viewer tearing up by the end. Keep it up.

it hard to keep the narrative of the comics and the game align but from a certain point of view the games have also their moments. look at the analysis extra credit does on injustice 2

I don't forgive Harley for the destruction of Metropolis like so many others.

DC gonna DC I guess. We can't have nice things, character growth, permanent meaningful change in characters' lives. *sigh* I liked Harley in DCAU. I hated her in the comics. Then Injustice, great! And then the more recent animation just makes her a parody of who she could've been, even who she was.

Thanks for introducing me to "Something Changing Your Mind". Such a bop.

yessss Harley is a big highlight for me in the Injustice series.

She still deserves no redemption

Not going to mention that Harley gives GA's hideout a proper name? Remember she calls it the Quiver.

Did you forget about how creepy she was with Shazam? Like she went to his school to pick him up and hit on him. Why does everyone ignore this. I think he was like 14 or under

*injustice comic has a amazing story to work with* Netherrealm: nah imma do my own thing. *makes a worst version of it*

Can you do one for Injustice Wonder Woman and the shocking backstory.

Definitely worth the little wait 👍

really loving the injustice comics videos specially the flash one probably my favorite ending of any of your videos

Have you done an essay on the Long Halloween? It heavily inspired the Dark Knight. Really well done (as always). Definitely some of the highest quality video essays I've found.

These videos always manage to make me cry thank you for giving me that

There is no question that the best part of this video was Lex blasting Joker in slomo.

I know she's controversial, but I do love that Injustice does work to have her right her wrongs. Plus it works AMAZINGLY because Superman and Wonder Woman insist that people can't change, which is why they don't think they have.

It's never too late to reach out beyond oneself toward forgiveness and kindness. love, is a reward in itself for other and for the one that give it

Dude I couldn't stop laughing at that "Larry" bit omg🤣🤣🤣

Love your videos man! This one offered me a new perspective on Harley.

i love your videos. thank you for making them :D

Doesn’t look like there was much communication between the game crew and the comic crew here, but that seems to be a pretty common issue with multimedia projects like this.

Some thing did indeed change his mind

every time you post, i get a little bit happier

for anyone who has been searching for days for the song at the credits (like me) the song is OTE - Where We Wanna Go

emancipation from jerker

Brother, you're such a hopeful person 🙌

Injustice Harley wants me so bad fr

This is gonna 10x hurt when we get the injustice green arrow video 😢

Love the content from my fav youtuber :)

Christ bless you, this rocks man

Harley is one of my favorite dc characters, this comic is so good with her Character

Another banger Leo.

It would be incredible to hear your thoughts on Batman: White Knight.

Amazing

Alot of the comments who say she doesn't deserve sympathy or had no repercussions for being a part of jokers plot, but people seem to not understand how impossibly difficult it can be to defy an abuser in a position of power and how Joker is and always has been a master manipulator, not only that but it isn't stated either how much Harley actually knew about jokers plot, I mean joker often historically has lied to her about the severity of his plans and even tried to kill her a few times so it's likely she had no idea how monstrous jokers plan actually was

She and joker started this mess

The entire time of this video made me cry Man she Deserves a Better life And ya she is crazy in may ways But she is amazing in injustice Like more then any other hero or villain was

bro had me tearing up

We ignore the video game thank you very much. Good game but going for something else. Love injustice Harley Arc. Great video

I've seen your Flash video and now this one. You have some stunning analysis. What are your thoughts on Injustice Hal Jordan and his self hatred?

I wonder what would have happened if say someone like Conner Kent or something was in metropolis and heard the bomb got there and disarmed it so even if Superman killed Lois, metropolis wouldn’t explode.

0:49 Daaaayyyyymmmm

Ayo that Harley Quinn voice bouts make me act up

God I hated this Harley. How anyone can think a character should be allowed to aid in the killing millions of people, not to mention the direct murder of people like Jimmy, and be allowed to be treated as anything other than a stain on society is beyond me. No amount of blood, sweat, or tears can ever make up for what she did and she deserves to be locked up right next to Injustice Superman. I'd honestly say Injustice Superman is a morally better person than Injustice Harley, because his atrocities were at least done with the intention of helping and protecting others even if it was so thoroughly twisted, and not for any sort of sick enjoyment or to please some psychopath. God I hated how much Harley got away with in Injustice

why the fuck did this video give me goosebumps

Ehhhh, I prefer B:TAS Harley, if only because I don't think her story deserves anywhere this much triumph.

i heart lesbian harley

" then shank by Diana " well shit... great vid btw

Injustice Harley ftw 🙌🏾

I mean, she's essentially helping saving the world from something she helped create, so I cannot say I feel much sympathy for her. Plus, she has the audacity to preach to Superman about how he should learn something from Jon Kent as if she didn't have a hand in murdering millions of people. Also, Green Arrow and Black Canary instantly befriending a mass-murderer doesn't sit right with me. And finally, I understand that Batman and crew were protecting her from Superman's wrath, but she should have been jailed the moment Good Superman defeated Injustice Superman. As it stands, it feels like she just nuked a city and got away scot-free.

Thought this was the animated injustice movie Harley because she’s completely superfluous to the plot in that

YOO new imp vid just dropped

Anyone else glad Harley left Joker for Ivy?

You da best

Yes. Fucking fantastic intro.

if you like Harley Quinn after the injustice comics, you will love her in "Batman: White Knight"

Im reading injustice right now, and harley is my favorite, she is much needed comic relief after Ollie and Dick died, should i read the annuals?I always skip them, im almost done year 5 now

What’s the song at the end?

NEW IMP VIDEO POG

I love injustice harley sm. seeing her journey in the series is always interesting to me no matter how many times i read it...or...if im being honest- watching comicstorian read it. also your harley voice caught me so fucking off guard omg XD

How do you make hit after hit after hit? Love your vids

Oh

In a move surprising no one, the comics are good at making the side characters unique and cool, and the games tell a good story but give the side characters the short end of the stick.

In the mainstream, Harley was kinda going this way when she tried to stop Jokers daughter and Punchline going down the road she did. She never amounted to Injustice Harley. She knew Batman would never kill The Joker, so she put Batman into a situation where she or Joker would die and he had to choose which one to save... Joker was pretty broken hearted when Batman choose Harley. But it went to show that Harley had more facets to her than Joker's doll... Then they went full Deadpool with her and frankly she jumped the shark. Personally, I'd be happy with them killing mainstream Harley and replacing her with Injustice Harley.

Ant thoughts on the post-Injustice 2 comic crossover with He-Man?

I would ask you to make a vid on injustice Joker but it would only take like 2 minutes

Why are people defending her she played a part in killing thousands. She also was there and helped kill Superman’s wife and child. Then he is the bad guy right after. I can understand when he becomes a dictator because that is horrible. The issue is he kills the Joker and everyone can only focus on how horrible he is. The Joker and HARLEY killed his wife, child, friends, colleagues; they blew up his home. She is a bad person and should be punished just like him, she needs to be in prison.

What?! I didn't even know you had a red blue system until you pointed it out...why??

Du bist sehr klug🙂 I love Harley

My favorite Harley Quinn

Harleen is basically joker, but like 25% of it That's why I like her as the character, and other things 😳

Yum

PRETTY BOY by Max Leonard

Victory....oh..ok the game ...dang but for the comics VICTORY!

My personal favourite version of Harley is the one in White Knight I just prefer a Harley than is more Harleen and has gone along way to get past the jokers influence

Damb

You should do a vid on injustice Wonder Woman the true villain of the series

Great vid. hope you do a monkie kid video

What's the song that plays at the credits. It annoys me that I can't find it.
