We are heading to DC Comics with this week’s Comic Characters on Social Media… featuring another cult favourite, Joker’s number one fan… Harley Quinn!

Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel, M.D was first seen on the 1990’s Batman: Animated Series. The character is frequently portrayed as a lover and accomplice of Joker. Quinn started off as a psychologist who was counselling the Joker while he was in Arkham Asylum. The Joker, being a genius psychopath, was able to manipulate then Dr. Quinzel into falling in love with him, transforming her into devious, Harley Quinn.

Harley Quinn has her quirks but she also knows how to use them to her advantage. Under the guidance of The Joker, she became the ying to his yang; despite their “occasional” conflicts, the pair have been one of the best and most interesting duos in DC comics.

Originally intended to be a minor role on the 90s show, DC Comics decided to expand the character to other media. She was famously portrayed again in the new Arkham video game series. Harley Quinn made the 100 Greatest Villains of All Time even though the Joker was in the upper echelon of the ranks.

A fan favourite, her character brought a cult following that in some ways rivals the Joker’s own fandom. Harley Quinn wear has been recently made popular in the new Geekdom craze with Hot Topic supplying a vast selection of Harley Quinn swag.

So the big question still remains… what would Harley Quinn be like on social media?

Okay. I am already regretting this… It’s best we stay out of this one… Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn/Joker love triangle is just love anarchy at it’s finest. We’ll let them figure it out. Can we all applaud her for the fact she knows how to use the word “you’re” properly! Crazy as she is, she still is a doctor.

Would not be surprised if she has an express checkout option at Hot Topic’s online shop.

GIF Keyboard

QWERTY? Swipe? No need. She uses GIFs front and center. All. The. Time.

Instagram

She actually exists on Instagram? Well then… that changes everything.

Facebook

I…. urgh…. no comment.

Facebook Chat

Why does Deadshot even have Facebook? I’m so confused right now.

Snapchat

… I really don’t know anymore.
