Fantastic! I loved everyone's different, unique takes on Harley. This was a great character study not just on her and her relationship with the Joker, but her relationship and standing with Batman and the other Rogue's as well. So like everything I've read by you (which is everything you have up here), I loved it! :D

thank you so much for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed this piece. I am not as confident sometimes when I write DCAU but I try my best. :)

At first, in my head, I was reading this like I normally read your Nolan-verse fics (because I skipped over 'universe: dcau" lol), and then when Joker had his first dialogue at the beginning with Boxy I immediately realized it was DCAU, lol. So funnily enough it was your third person portrayal that tipped me off (because I'm ADD or something, lol). I seriously started hearing Mark Hamill's Joker voice in my head, lol. :D It was kinda neato, lol.

Well I'm glad it came off as DCAU ^-^ and wow you heard Mark's voice? Nice, that inflates my ego a bit LOL!

I really, really enjoyed this. Everyone was completely in character and it was very entertaining, all these little vignettes about various people and how they interacted with/saw Harley. Jim Gordon especially was spot-on; I can totally see him thinking about Harley with regards to her father.

Poison Ivy's thoughts were done excellently as well - I loved the image of the three of them on a rollercoaster. It was such an appropriate metaphor, both for the Joker, and for nature of the JxHQ relationship.

I did wonder whether you would include the Joker's perspective, but as you said it has been done, and it would also need a much larger space than you've used for all of these characters. XD

Great stuff!

I could have written Joker as I'd written the others but yeah he also kind of larger than life and would take away from these characters, IMHO.
I do like the dynamic particularly between Harley & Batman because he does seem to have a soft spot for women, esp. her.

Anyway, I am very happy that you liked this. Thanks for reading and thanks for leaving feedback :D
