Harley Quinn

Jester-themed antiheroine

Harley Quinn is a fictional character originating in the 1990s Batman animated series, later appearing across DC Comics media.

Originally the Joker's girlfriend and accomplice—a psychiatrist who fell for her patient—she has evolved into an antihero in her own right: She dressed as Harley Quinn for Halloween.

The name puns on "harlequin," a comic entertainer.
