Harlene Quinzelle was a brilliant and successful criminal psychiatrist. After encountering the criminal mastermind, The Joker, at

Arkham Asylum, Harlene develops a fascination with the madman's maniacal psyche. She begins to treat him, only to find

herself completely under The Joker's control. Unable to break his hold on her, Harley enters a world of crime as The Joker's

criminal accomplice and lover, Harley Quinn.

Harley quickly becomes one of the Dark Knight's deadliest enemies, as she carries out The Joker's every evil whim. She

develops a villainous friendship with Poison Ivy and the two become sisters-in-crime by virtue of their shared hatred for male

domination in the criminal underworld.

Although her true personality has been subjugated by The Joker, beneath it all Harley remains a sweet lovable person. Upon

her arrest, she is deemed mentally unbalanced and sent to Arkham Asylum - not as the brilliant doctor she once was, but as

one of Gotham's criminally insane on the other side of the padded cell.

Although she hides her true nature behind a mask of playfulness, the Joker's moll and frequent accomplice, Harley Quinn, is

almost as unpredictable and deadly as her infamous boss. She was once a brilliant young psychoanalyst, Dr. Harleen Quinzel,

until she was seduced by the Joker while interning at Arkham Asylum. Renaming herself Harley Quinn, she helped the Joker

escape and joined his gang. Harley has worked off and on with the Joker, as well as with her frequent partner in crime, Poison

Ivy. She has also branched out on her own, pulling wild pranks for no other reason than to annoy Batman, and frequently

Batgirl. She is often accompanied on these solo crime sprees by her two pet laughing hyenas, Bud and Lou. She will continue

to be a constant nuisance for Batman and Robin, and everyone in Gotham City.
