I just don't get it.

Wonder Woman I get. Batgirl and Catwoman I get. Heck, I even get Poison Ivy. But Harley Quinn, I just don't get.

But of course, I never got Joker either. So maybe it's just me.......................

I just realized that the older I get, the more crotchety I get......

I'm going to Dairy Queen. I think it has been at least 25 years since I had a Banana Split. Do they still make those?


You get Batgirl and Catwoman but don't get Harley? Did I missed the issues in which those characters developed powers and abilities beyond those of mortals? Harley, Batgirl, and Catwoman like many of the characters in Batman (him included) don't have any superpowers. They just run around and fight each other...lol.

I don't read or collect moderns, so I wouldn't be an expert on HQ. But I thought that Poison Ivy had given Harley a potion or two and she was physically much stronger than normal as a result? Immune to many toxins, poisons, etc? How else would she be able to carry around the huge hammer thingy?

Explain to me how Harley Quinn carries a whole movie by herself without other DC characters to interact with? That idea is just dumb.

Well, she'd interact with other characters in her "universe" , just like other solo hero movies.

I would think a movie could do well to go deep into the her dysfunctional, abusive relationship with the Joker. How they meet and she falls in love, how she leaves, how she is still drawn to him, where her life is heading by the end of the movie.

Sort of blend Mad Love, Batman: Harley Quinn and Gotham City Sirens into a movie. Maybe it could end where Gotham City Sirens would begin? Obvious characters that would also be in the movie are the Joker, Batman and Poison Ivy, maybe Catwoman.

@IronMan so you just described what Gotham City Sirens will probably be...so your only "real" compliant is that Harley's name isn't on the marquee?

Bingo. Otherwise it's just an episode of Survivorman.

I didn't attack you personally so I'd appreciate it if you'd not attack me on a personal level. Noting that I don't drink and don't for religious reasons I don't appreciate the attack.

I don't have any complaint. IDC if they do a HQ movie. I was just answering your question how HQ might carry a solo movie.

I'm not a big HQ fan, but I am low hanging fruit for comic book based movies. So I'll go see whatever it is they make.

But what you described as a working HQ movie is not any different from what GCS will be. That is my point, She doesn't need a "stand alone" movie just to have her name on the poster when it ends up the same exact movie. Harley Quinn has always been defined by how she interacts with all the other characters. It's her banter that makes her who she is. So any good movie with her is going to feature other characters. Who cares if they name it the Harley Quinn movie or name it something else?

Not me. Name it anything they want. We agree. Some true HQ fans might feel differently though.

Suicide Squad was beat on pretty bad by the critics. The audience scores were better but far from great. But even the critics generally praised the performances of Will Smith (Deadshot), Margot Robbie (HQ) and Viola Davis (Amanda Waller). Supposedly Deadshot is getting his own movie. So fans - and again I'm not one so do not care - might ask why HQ shares the spotlight. As for Waller, if DC is smart they will have her become the Phil Coulson of their movie universe.

But I'm totally fine with GCS being the next Harley movie. And we'll for sure get to see Catwoman and Poison Ivy, so it's a bonus.

Im not sure how this was remotely relevant or respectful. This seems like an unprovoked personal attack. It's wrong, uncalled for and just lame.

Oh come on. Lighten up people. It was a joke. Towmater made a joke about his being a crotchety old guy. Conditionfreak made a joke back about drinking and posting. One that I can certainly identify with and joke about.

So how was anyone supposed to know that towmater didn't drink for religious reasons so found the joke...distasteful. At a lot of Churches, they drink FOR religious reasons. Catholics - over 1/2 of the world's Christians - address this specifically. The Communion wine has alcohol because if it did not, it would be grape juice. Christ didn't give his disciples grape juice at the first communion. He gave them wine.

I completely respect a person's decision to not consume alcohol, or meat, or whatever. But it was clearly just a joke and there is no reason for continued criticism.

I take this back if the two participants know and despise each other.

That's a very long way to go to provide an excuse for a personal attack. What other religions teach and how the people within those religions conduct themselves never has been an issue for me.

Besides the post I took exception to, in the past couple of days, ConditionFreak decided to announce his disbelief of the action of a brave Canadian soldier in a war zone and a shot he made in the following way:

I mean Canada? SERIOUSLY! I don't think so.

They have like 12 guys in their military. Are you telling me that one of those twelve is a crack shot. From two miles away?

Either sheer luck, or he tried to shoot that far four hundred and fifty times before he got one.

Is this April? I thought it was June.


It looks like making attacks is what he trades in.

No, I don't know Conditionfreak. Until he popped up here I had not interacted with him. I do know what happened to him across the street.

It was a joke. You didn't find it funny. You said so. Seems like that would be the end of it. If you don't know each other than he didn't know a poke about alcohol would be offensive. If you don't drink for religious reasons than consider forgiving and forgetting for the same.

Most people are unaware that members of Canada's armed forces own the top long distance sniping records. Three of the top four, including #1. As I recall the thread discussion, other members pointed out the facts.

...I didn't know that you spoke for Conditionfreak.
...I didn't know that you are able to read other people's minds and determine their intentions either.
...Thank you for preaching to me about "forgive and forget". I guess, I am not allowed to express my thoughts on the situation but you are.
...I was one of posters to express my awe at the shot that was made.
