The original voice of Harley, unlike all the bastardized takes on her that came after. :cry:

While Arleen was the Original she will never be forgotten. Tara Strong did a fantastic Job taking over. She even got Arleen's blessing to take over back when she did

Is she the one who voiced Harley in the Arkham videogames? Because her voice was really annoying there, I think she got progressively worse as she got older.

As overexposed and meaningless as the character has become now, the original concept and performance cannot be matched. Capable of smashing your head and heart with a mallet while warming it at the same time. So long puddin'

She never got to marry her puddin’ and start a family of psychotic clowns with him… :cry:

Batman TAS is so timeless that it's hard to put two and two together that the people who made that show are all getting pretty old now. The show launched September 5, 1992. Almost 31 years ago to the day now.

It's a real shame what Harley's character became in DC comics, videogames, new shows, etc. I agree they strayed way too far from the roots of what made the character great.

I know all the DCAU content push Harley and Ivy as the "it" couple nowadays but at least we know she goes back to Puddin' for the events of the flashback in Return of the Joker.
Lately I've been on a rewatch kick, and I'm starting to think Harley would have been a great fit for Bruce too. So much so I count "Harley's Holiday" as the series finale of the show since it sets up a potential Harley/Bruce pairing at the end.

I never understood that. Why do characters have to bang every same-sex friend they make nowadays? They were cute girlfriends but I never saw them as actual girlfriends

Probably the same reason they try to "ship" Cap and Bucky, lonely perverted lovers trying to project

They were written as friends and then became lovers over time.

That would be the biggest example of opposites attract.

The popular White Knight comic book series also plays a bit with that pairing

Because just about everyone has to be a member of the alphabet people. Hell I’m still waiting on Batman & Robin becoming lovers after all these years and all of the jokes and alleged innuendos

Heh, reminds me of this funny scene from the Batman Lego movie:
Barbara: “Is that your son?”
Robin: “Yes, I am!”
Batman: “No, that’s just weird!”

Not a Tara Strong fan?
I thought she's had some decent voice actresses. It was more of the characterizations that were iffy for me.

One of the guys that I knew, had a crush on her voice.
Sorkin provided both a very iconic Harley Quinn voice and a playful personality for Ms. Quinn.
I'm gonna miss her too.
