![]() ![]() That's the great thing about this character created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm: She is a lot of things to a lot of different storytellers. ![]() ![]() To that point, who is Harley Quinn to you as a storyteller? However, as a writer, you're facing the challenge of convincing the audience through the eyes of the character why they thought it might, why they thought it might succeed, why Harleen Quinzel thought she could help the Joker, why she could cure him, why she could save him.Īnd then, as a reader, you get to find out why it doesn't work. That's one of the big things in Harleen, you know it's one of those romances that can't work in the end, you know it doesn't work in the work. There's a beauty in writing a romance that's doomed to succeed and there is a different kind of beauty in writing a romance that's doomed to fail. Romance, in general, is an opportunity to depict humanity at its most vulnerable emotional state and the more complicated the romance, the more intense response you can get from your characters the more intense a story you can write. What is it about that theme that you find interesting?Ĭomplicated romance is interesting to write about. Something I've noticed across a lot of your work in Sunstone and Witchblade and here in Harleen is that you focus a lot on romance, especially complicated romance. ![]()
