Fun Facts about Harley!

  • she is jewish (Batman Adventures Holiday Special)
  • she is not a natural blonde (btas, season 2, episode 10)
  • her bisexuality was hinted at as early as the 90s comics. In (find this comic), batgirl asks if Harley and Ivy are "you know..." and Harley responds "like you and supergirl?", before batgirl gets flustered. In another comic, two very queercoded villains are matched against the two, wlw/mlm hostility.
  • she dislikes seafood (btas, season 1, episode 46)


    • Harley Quinn is autistic and I live by that

    After watching the episode Harley's Holiday, and subsequently every episode featuring her, I have a theory: Harley Quinn is autistic. Mostly, because she shares a lot of traits with myself and traits that are listed in the DSM-5. Yes, I am aware these traits are all to make her funny, but I like to think they made her autistic on accident. Here's a breakdown:

    "Remember that charity bash a few years back? I was the clown girl holding the gun on ya!"

    Harley shows a persistent struggle with social convention. In Harley's Holiday, she takes her two hyenas into a department store, and when a woman reacts with horror, she is confused: responding, "don't worry, they're housebroken." She also has issues understanding what tone is appropriate for a situation. In the same episode, she gleefully talks to Veronica Vreeland about a time that she robbed her as if she was connecting with an old friend rather than someone she pulled a gun on.
