I think trying to get a Harley Quinn that looks psychotic misses the point, she was always just a bubbly pretty girl with a new york accent in tights. There's something about the incongruity with a nice pretty girl who is completely warped to support a killer, that is psychotic all by itself.

See, for me, and a lot of other Batman fans, Harley was a dead pan serious girl who majored in criminal psychology before the Joker got a hold of her and cracked her brain in two. There are some who argue she was already cracked to begin with, but read Wikipedia:

Harley Quinn first appeared in the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Joker's Favor" (episode #22, original airdate: September 11, 1992), as what was originally supposed to be the animated equivalent of a walk-on role ? a number of police officers were to be taken hostage by someone jumping out of a cake, and it was decided that to have the Joker do so himself would be too bizarre.

--Great Episode btw.;);)--

If you want to take your research for Harley a bit further, which I highly recommend..

Pick up the 1994 graphic novel by Paul Dini, Mad Love[/i]i>, or just watch this, it's the Animated Series take on the same novel, and one of the best episodes:):)..

The story revolves around the Joker's sidekick Harley Quinn. She was once psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel, but fell head over heels in love with the maniacal Joker after spending just 15 minutes inside Arkham Asylum. She develops an obsession with him, and turns to crime to win his love.

It's probably my favorite graphic novel ever written.

Sorry if I'm going a bit overboard, I just love Harley, she's one of my favorite Batman 'Villains'.

anyone still thinking that Katie holmes should take back her role? Maggie Gyllenhall is the new Rachel Dawes. :\ I hate when films do that. They should continue with the same people. Ah well.

Yeah I honestly didn't mind Katie Holmes but now with Cruise at the helm she hardly takes movies roles :(

I heard the poster that Rappy posted is fake, but I'm not sure. I love the other frosted glass one though!

Which one was that if its the one with the hand I had my suspicions the companys at the bottom didn't look right like they were pasted in.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.

      I'd basically agree. The only point I would add is to be careful not to treat science as a religion, complete with priests, dogma, and blasphemy. Humans are highly susceptible to religious-oriented ways of thinking since it aids in forming communities of like-minded people. The problem is that when this happens, nobody wants to be ostracized from the group by saying that a deeply-held idea is wrong. Science and "peer review" are not immune to this behavior, unfortunately. In the end, finding truth is our own responsibility and we can't depend on others to hand it to us. Skepticism is key, along with curiosity and the willingness to critically evaluate and consider ideas both new and old.
