Uh, 5' 7" and 140 lbs is a skinny dude, that's for certain. If harley is supposed to be remotely athletic (assuming fit and muscled, while not being a she-hulk), then yes. 140lbs is pretty normal.

I personally like Harley-Quinn's re-design.  They even worked it into the script.


and, of course, the voice actors from the cartoon return... making this super-awesome.

That fighting part at the very end, where she was flipping around, looked really... bad. I can't quite put my finger on why.

That said, I'll be buying regardless. 14 inch batarang, FTW.

I don't get all of the crying over Harley. She has always had that street-smart thing and she most definitely was created to be a sexy AND a brawler. She, much like Joker, is mentally unstable and a blunt instrument of chaos. Like a crazy 1920s mafia girl.

I saw nothing in this trailer that changed her, aside from her costume. While I prefer her jester outfit, I think this one fits the setting of the story. It isn't like Harley hasn't ever tried out different costumes before. For those that want to see what Harley is all about go check out Batman, episode 47, "Harley and Ivy." It does a good job of showing Harley's self competence and unhealthy dependence on Joker's attention.

Can't wait to hear her say "Mr. J".  This game keeps looking better and better and, frankly, that has me worried.  I'm going to try to keep from getting my expectations too high considering the Batman video games of the past, but I can't help but feel excited by the prospect of a good Batman game.

Harley was so popular in the series that she was officially added to the Batman comics back in 2001, and she seems to be receiving some swell treatment in this polygonal version. 

Anyone remember Mia Sara (Matthew Broderick's gf in Ferris Bueller) as Quinn in the Birds of Prey TV series?

damn she doesnt look like she's 100lbs, how come her weight is listed as 140lbs?

and one more thing
in spite of the fact that she looks real hot in her new outfit, she doesn't feel like Harley Quinn we knew from the cartoon series
she looks more like a cosplayer who dressed up in a Japanese schoolgirl uniform

she's still hot though

The only thing they changed about Harley is her costume. She IS blond, she IS an acrobat/fighter, she DOES talk like that- its the same voice actress!!

Hmm, i dunno.  I like the change, for the most part.  Everyone else has a slightly altered look in the game so why not harley?  Like Jack Black would say, "kind of sexy too, in a creepy sort of way"...lol.

I like Harley, but in this trailer, she seems so...lame. All dressed up, all talk, and not very much else going for her at all. I sincerely hope that this is just due to the lack of perception from the trailer and won't be how she's perceived throughout the game.

Regarding Harley's personality being different, I'm not sure how you guys can watch a one minute trailer and make accurate judgments on where they're going to go with the development of the character in the full game. She says like four lines, none of which constitute 'character rape' based on what I've seen of her. If they decided to go deep into her backstory and develop her relationship with the Joker and what not, it probably wouldn't be in the trailer.

Oh and I'm right with Gregomasta on Topanga.

Sweetness, about time they start putting Harley in more things than just the animated shows & Lego Batman, hoping that it doesn't suck.

I'm sure Arleen Sorkin would be surprised to learn that she and her NY accent don't sound a thing like the "real" Harley Quinn given that she is, in fact, the original voice of Harley Quinn, who has her origins in the Animated Series from the 90s.

P.S. She's always been relatively cheap fodder to give Joker's crew a bit of sex appeal in the series, so don't read too much into her.

P.P.S. In case you don't know how YOU sound....  Here's a sample http://www.hulu.com/watch/20841/the-simpsons-powers-of-deduction

*sigh* Yet again writers outside of the DCAU completely misunderstands Harleys character. She is not a ninja sex-bomb, she is a highly intelligent capable woman who is sabotaged by her self destructive love for the joker. You have to despair at the fact that a show that was supposedly aimed at kids was capiable of a more genuinly mature depiction of a character than a game supposedly aimed at adults.

Dudes, quinn needed an new sexy update, she was always sexy as hell and the full body red and black spandex and jester hat covering that blonde hair just wasn't going to cut it anymore.  Harley quinn, my first crush; right along with tapanga from boy meets world and the pink power ranger.

@SAYNTofSYNNERS: Uh... She is blonde, though. And she actually says herself it's a new get-up for the asylum.

Considering how messed-up DC comics have become, I'd be happy if the worst thing they do with the source material is have Harley in a different set of clothes. Quit whining.

Anyway, on topic, the animation looks a little sluggish with the voice, but it still looks pretty promising.

@ Sayntofsynners: about the costume change: I think she's just dressed for the special occasion. Looks like a bastardized nurse's uniform to me. I'm all for honoring the source material but you're getting kinda out of line with it. Comparing it to Clooney?! Whoa! And nowhere in this trailer does it say that she's dumb. Are you making assumptions based on the size of her breasts? Now, don't get me wrong here. I don't like the hugeness either, but I dig her overall design. She looks evil.

@MATCHES _MALONE
Have u never seen Harley in the comics/ toons ??.
She is very thin, small butt, and A cup boobs.
she is insane, but also very intelligent, with a mid western accent.. Has that whole killig joke thing like the Joker
She is NOT A DUMB ,CURVY, CYNICAL ,NEW YORK HOOKER, WITH HUGE IMPLANTS.
Heck they even got the ethnic roots wrong for her costume. Her name is HARLEY QUIN. (based on HARLEQUIN / ARLECCHINO ---the Itallian stage character clowns. That costume is slutted up Alsatian / Germanic traditional dress.
I am fine with IVY'S boobs, it is CHUN LI'S thighs that scare me LMAO
