Well this isn't anything new to me but as an avid Batman series fan I have always found Harley Quinn to be THE most amazing female character in the DC Universe.
She's fun, preppy and more than a little psychotic, but hey! That's your everyday girl. :P
So this post is about the different versions of Harley Quinn that have been seen till date.
On September 11, 1992, Harley Quinn was first introduced in Batman the animated series.
The classic Harley Quinn. She remains my favorite till date. The black red jester like costume brings out her clad like jester manner.
This same version of Harley Quinn made her comic debut in the comic The Batman Adventures #12 in 1993.
Harley Quinn then took up a new look with DCnU in the episode Suicide squad. She is arrested by black canary and is seen sporting a new costume. (As seen in the new 52 series)
These were Harley's animated versions (the ones I know about )
Talking about her various video games avatars!
In each of the Batman Arkham series, Harley Quinn seems to come up with a new look!
1. Arkham Asylum.
Harley: “Come on in!”
The credits are over and the game starts with the following dialogue between Joker and Harley. Our beloved Harley is seen in an almost nurse uniform with her two color combo present as well i.e red and purple (previously red and black) As far as video games go, this version of Ms. Quinn has been quite famous among the DC fan community.
2. Arkham City.
"It would be a shame to get blood all over my nice new outfit. What do you think, Bat-brain, like it? What am I saying? Of course you do! Who wouldn't?"
Harley is back to her clack red avatar in Arkham city! (SPOILER ALERT!) At the end of Arkham Asylum the Joker injected himself with the powerful toxin known as Titan to fight Batman, but was defeated and was recaptured in the prison. The Titan has a fatal effect on Joker and leaves him dying, much to the distress of Harley. After learning of a plan concocted by the guards to kill the Joker, she kills one of them, takes their uniform (hence her new clothing) and smuggles Joker out of the asylum.
3. Arkham Origins:
Arkham origins showed us Harleen Quinn when she was Dr. Harleen Quinzel. The doctor who goes to treat Joker but instead falls for the guy. It is nice to see her in this form.
4. Harley Quinn's Revenge:
An epilogue DLC to Arkham City entitled "Harley Quinn's Revenge" was released and centred entirely around Harley and her actions after the death of the Joker.
There isn't much change to her costume, but her physical appearance changes. With her hair being fully black with red ends. Her costume depicts the mourning she's in after the death of her beloved Joker.
5. Arkham Knight:
As far as video game versions of Harley go, the soon to be release game, Arkham Knight's Harley seems to have nailed it! Personally I find this version of hers to b the best till date (In the video game front that is )
What will she do in this game, that is yet to know for the game releases in October this year. But it is worth the wait!
6. DC Universe Online:
The DC Universe Online stuck with the basic iconic version of Harley Quinn, that is, her black and red jester suit which had stolen the hearts of millions back in 1992 with it's first appearance.
7. Injustice: Gods Among Us:
In this version, Harley Quinn is depicted in her new avatar, that is, the one in the New 52 series according to sources.
It will be one of the first games, if not the very first, to feature her with her post-Flashpoint redesign given to her as part of the DC Comics universe "New 52" reboot.
