SDCC: Harley Quinn Turns 25 and Promptly Takes Over Batman Day
Harley Quinn debuted on “Batman: The Animated Series” in the episode “Joker’s Favor,” which originally aired in September 1992. Co-created by the acclaimed Paul Dini (“Batman: The Animated Series,” “Dark Night: A True Batman Story”) and Bruce Timm (“Batman: The Animated Series,” “Batman Beyond”) Harley Quinn spawned the now popular and plentiful comic series and is one of the fastest growing characters in DC history, becoming a top ten character in only the last 25 years.
DC will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Harley Quinn in a big way, with key new releases in the coming months including, “Harley Quinn: A Rogues Gallery—The Deluxe Cover Art Collection,” “Harley Quinn 25th Anniversary Special #1,” and an oversized anniversary issue featuring Harley’s entire cast of crazy characters, “Harley Quinn #25.”
