Fun Fact Friday | 4 | Arleen Sorkin Cameo in Birds of Prey (2020)

Fun Easter egg you may or may not have noticed in Birds of Prey (2020)! Notice who is on Montoya’s TV?

That’s Arleen Sorkin – the original Harley – in the Days of Our Lives episode that inspired Paul Dini when he came up with Harley Quinn. It was a nice little nod to Arleen and Harley’s origins.


Here’s a quick little video of Paul Dini talking about it with Kevin Smith.

Next time you’re rewatching Birds of Prey, keep an eye out!

Writer: John Layman

Artist: Jesús Hervás

Colorist: David Baron

Letterer: Andworld Design

Editor: Katie Kubert

“Before the Suicide Squad sets their sights on the corrupted Justice League in the upcoming videogame Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, join us for this thrilling prequel and witness them kill Arkham Asylum! Amanda Waller has taken control of the recently rebuilt Arkham, and her brutal tactics and merciless methods have led to the most secure asylum Gotham has ever known. But when the cell doors open, and the inmates are left in a free-for-all deathmatch, Waller’s true intentions reveal themselves: identify the strongest, smartest, and most brutal to serve her on Task Force X.”

Fun Fact Friday | 3 | Justice League: Snyder Cut Reference

I always found this to be one of the most interesting additions, and bits of dialogue, in the Snyder Cut of Justice League. I also rarely see it mentioned. Batman making a promise, on behalf of Harley Quinn, that he will kill the Joker. The tension of the moment and Joker’s reaction to this mention of Harley as well as what she wanted to happen to him were both things that made me interested in knowing what brought this about.

But, I suppose we will be left to wonder forever.

Review – Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

My most anticipated game for years, and oddly one of the most controversial games released recently (at least on my radar), Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been out a over a month now. I had early access and got to begin playing the game before regular players – and I am still playing, and loving, the game.

Fun Fact Friday | 2 | Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Arleen Sorkin Tribute

Many alright heard about this little easter egg, but for those that weren’t aware:

Within the Hall of Justice in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, there is a tribute on the wall in memory of the original Harley Quinn – Arleen Sorkin. Also in the room, to the right of Arleen, is a tribute to Kevin Conroy – our beloved Batman. His final performance as the Bat was Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

It seemed appropriate when I took the screenshot in my game to have Harley in her classic outfit.

Future State Harley Quinn Spinmaster Figure

January 2021, Future State Harley Quinn released in comic stores and many of us fell in love with this design. Sure, it was a limited run and it wasn’t going to be a look we could keep around forever. But it definitely inspired two statues, and to the relief of many collecting on a budget – a much cheaper alternative: the Spinemaster figure.

After we’ve all been hunting every Walmart we can, Amazon finally has the figure as well. You can order her here.

Review – Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red

Credits:

Black, white, and now READ for the first time in print!

One of the crown jewels of the DC library is the inimitable, Harvey Award-nominated Batman Black & White–innovative short tales of the Caped Crusader, told purely in primal black and white. Unfortunately, now Harley Quinn wants in on the action…and she’s got her red pen, and some notes.

In Harley Quinn Black + White + Red, 19 tales of Gotham City’s craziest clown princess are presented in nothing but black, white, and bold splashes of red. See how Harley’s story unfolds in worlds beyond the DC Universe, in the alternate timelines of Batman: White Knight, Harleen, and the Harley Quinn animated series! Witness her darkest hours and her happiest moments! Wait, did she just…win an underground rap battle?!

An incredible array of award-winning talent from across the comics industry (like Stjepan Sejić, Sean Murphy & Katana Collins, Amanda Conner & Jimmy Palmiotti, and many more) have put their reputations in jeopardy to bring you these stories–so show a little gratitude, will ya? (And hey, not for nothin’, but they got nominated for a Harvey Award too. Anything you can do, Harley can do better, Bat-brain!

This volume collects Harley Quinn Black + White + Red #1-17, alongside two all-new, never-before-seen stories–from Veep writer David Mandel and superstar artist Adam Hughes, and from Harley’s co-creator, Paul Dini, with Batman: The Animated Series legend Kevin Altieri!”
