BTAS: Harley Quinn is Waiting for her man!

Batman: The Animated Series 

"Waiting for My J Man" Harley Quinn Statue

So back in 2015 there was a 7" vinyl release of the Batman animated series theme song. 

We were looking at getting one. We don't actually own our own LP player (my folks do though!) 

I guess it was more for the random factor, classic Harley Quinn and the uniqueness of it all. 

This may have backfired though. Mondo sold out like straight away. Which, like I suspected was probably not even purchased by actual fans, but more like people who anticipated making millions of money off of the eBay's. 

I think you can actually buy more now but they're still pretty damn expensive even if it's a sale direct from manufacturer.  

As you can see from the picture above, we now have a statue of the image on the LP cover. 

I'll be frank, it looks amazing. 

Supanova 2013

So the Gold Coast Supanova Pop Culture convention has been and gone, and to the delight of a super
Harley Quinn fan like myself - I got to meet Rachel and Terry Dodson, the husband and wife inker/artist team from the official Harley Quinn run!

I also got my Harley Quinn issues #1 and #2 signed by both of them - I wanted to bring all the issues I had but then I thought that it could be pushing our tentative friendship, and also several labour violations. So I kindly settled for those two issues, and also a X-men issue where Emma Frost physically dances around Cyclops' brain in a flapper costume while every woman in his life populates the building that resides there. I like the kooky ones.

Monthly Harley Quinn announced!?

Wow, I must have been living under a rock to have missed this! Here's an exclusive interview reposted from Comic Book Resources about Harley's new monthly series! (Official link below). I've recoloured the interviwer's speech and made a few spelling adjustments but like I said, it's from CBR. I'm just too excited to gather my own thoughts just yet! 

CBR News: Congrats on the new series! It's been a while since we've seen a true Harley Quinn title. What was your first response to the idea of working with the character in the New 52?

Jimmy Palmiotti: When we were offered the book, it wasn't something we said yes to right away. We needed to do a lot of reading and playing catch up on what the character has been up to since we knew the other version so well. Amanda and I spent a lot of time talking about approach, if we can find a real voice for the character , and what the series would be about before we sent in our pitch. On the surface, this is a no brainer with the two of us writing, but like anything else we do together, we needed to really dig in and find the who , what and where of the new Harley.

Amanda Conner: It was a little daunting, at first. She is a totally beloved character, and you have to show that some respect, all while bringing her into a whole new atmosphere. We have to make her world very believable. We want to make her almost like she's someone you've met before.

Palmiotti: After a lot of back and forth, we found the place we needed to find and pitched it to DC, and they loved it.

Harley is a character that was born with a very specific, very beloved iteration on "Batman: The Animated Series," though over the years she's evolved in the comics as many of the DC characters do. What versions loom largest in how you see her today?
