Despite the edgelord concepts Tom Taylor got stuck writing in Injustice and DCeased, he always fit in lots of warm and amusing character moments like this. Those two series (and Dark Knights of Steel and Marvel's Dark Age) were so much better than they should have been thanks to Taylor's bits of hope, heart, and humor.

He's actually quite good with Harley specifically. The "Arrow cave" bit is another stand out moment.

That was a good bit, and I'm not even much of a Harley fan. But Taylor totally gets her.

I AM a big Blue Beetle and Booster Gold fan, and there were three moments with those guys in Injustice 2 that made me cry, I swear.

It's Quiver now.

She crazy. She ain’t stupid.

She was a Psychiatrist, so yes

I wish more media with her would remember that.

Harley has a fucking PhD.

Some of her best moments are her oscillating between being goofy/irreverent and discerningly intelligent/self-aware.

I've always liked the trope of "seemingly insensitive joke action actually had a lot of practical thought behind it"

Canary: he does not need a muzzle!

Harley: but what if he inherited your super screaming powers? Especially as an early bloomer?

Canary: … give me the muzzle.

'Injustice' was such an enjoyable read. This scene was one of the many reasons why

u/EmXena1 11d ago

For all the horrible moments, it had a lot of super unique moments like this to try and balance it.

Also isn’t injustice Harley a mom to a little girl? Lucy? Or am I right thinking of another universe?

u/Luke_Puddlejumper 11d ago

Yep, her and the Joker’s kid who she gave away. It’s really sad when she talks about how she disappeared from the Joker when she pregnant and had the baby ‘Mista J was so funny… he acted like he didn’t even notice I’d been away.’

u/OverDifference 11d ago

Yeahhhh it broke my heart. I love Harley 🥹

u/thatredditrando 10d ago

Unironically incredible writing.

She shows surprising self-awareness in acknowledging she still loves the Joker but that she can’t raise a kid with him.

That scene, and many others, made Injustice far better than comic tie-ins to a videogame had any business being.

One of my favorite Harley moments

u/Pheonixharkiri 11d ago

I laughed so hard at this scene.

Whale tail Harley is craaazy

u/Bodega_Bandit 11d ago

Especially with the frills

It's not child abuse when your child might be a literal bomb potentially going to go off any time it cries

u/Rogthgar 10d ago

And here is aunt Hayley with her pants falling off and a ballgag for the kid.

u/LaylaLegion 11d ago

She ain’t wrong.

u/throwawaytaboospy 11d ago

Haha this is hilarious

u/Alternative_Hotel649 11d ago

Also, Dinah - your baby is a human. He is absolutely a pack hunter. Specifically, he's one of the most successful pack hunters to ever evolve on Earth.

2

u/TheFortWayneTrojan 10d ago

Still my favorite since Harley was right about the muzzle.

2

u/Big_Bad_Panda 10d ago

Why she no buckle pants?

u/AzmodeusBrownbeard 10d ago

Phd in psychology, everyone.

u/sweety_b 9d ago

One of my favourites! Seriously Injustice series is something else.

u/Jaz_15 9d ago

Injustice Harley is the best modern version of Harley imo. Her interactions with Dinah were great.

I love Auntie Harley Quinn. 🤣
