Quinzel Series ‘RED’ Print

Harley Quinn: Every generation has them…the saints who come to save the world with one revolutionary idea or another… I was on the their side once…the OTHER SIDE of the glass. My method? Finding the "breaking point" of someone’s empathy. This one? Dr. Leah something. Her gimmick? “Color therapy”, some sad variation on the Lüscher color test? I guess? Like it matters, anyway... everything is POINTLESS. [to Doctor Leah something] So what is this test? You see what effect the colors have on me and paint my padded cell in soothing blues and hope that "cures me" or something? Doctor Leah something: No. I’m just using these cards to annoy your trained psychologist brain enough that you’ll actually ENGAGE with me. We both know the Lüscher test has been widely discredited. Harley Quinn: HAH! Finally one of you remembers that I KNOW THIS STUFF. You know I once wasted three hours of a psychiatrist's time describing what kind of bats I DIDN’T see in the Rorschach tests? Doctor Leah something: Sounds fun. Harley Quinn: It’s Arkham, you make your own fun. Doctor Leah something: [Holds up red card] Harley Quinn: Still at it? Doctor Leah something: Indulge me!

Source: Harley Quinn is a character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Quinn was created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm as a comic relief henchwoman for the supervillain Joker in Batman: The Animated Series, and debuted in its 22nd episode, "Joker's Favor", on September 11, 1992. While originally intended to appear in one episode, Quinn became a recurring character within the DC Animated Universe as the Joker's sidekick and love interest, and was adapted into DC Comics' Batman comic book canon, beginning with the one-shot Batman: Harley Quinn #1 (October 1999). Quinn's origin story features her as a former psychiatrist at Gotham City's Arkham Asylum named Dr. Harleen Quinzel who fell in love with the Joker, her patient, eventually becoming his accomplice and lover. The character's alias is a play on the stock character Harlequin from the 16th-century theater commedia dell'arte. Following her introduction to the DC Universe in 1999, Harley Quinn was depicted as a frequent accomplice and lover of the Joker as well as a close friend of fellow supervillain Poison Ivy. Later stories depicted Quinn as a supervillain who has left her abusive relationship with the Joker. After years of scarce appearances in comics, Quinn returned in a leading role in 2009 with the Gotham City Sirensseries, as part of an unstable alliance with Poison Ivy and Catwoman. In 2011, DC's line-wide reboot The New 52 reintroduced Quinn in the relaunched Suicide Squad title, which changed the character's personality, design, and origin, replacing her original jester costume with a revealing ensemble and depicting her to be darker than her earlier counterpart. The character took a lighthearted and humorous direction in 2013 with Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti's Harley Quinn series, which features the character moving to her hometown of Brooklyn and starting her own life in Coney Island. Since 2013, Quinn has often been depicted as an antihero independent of the Joker and a recurring core member of the Suicide Squad, with Poison Ivy becoming her primary romantic interest. Harley Quinn's abilities include expert gymnastic skills, proficiency in weapons and hand-to-hand combat, complete unpredictability, immunity to toxins, and enhanced strength, agility, and durability. Quinn often wields clown-themed gag weapons, with an oversized mallet being her signature weapon. The character has a pair of pet hyenas, Bud and Lou, which sometimes serve as her attack dogs. As a trained psychiatrist with a genius level intellect, she is adept at deception and psychological manipulation. Harley Quinn has become one of DC Comics' most popular and profitable characters, and has been featured in many of DC's comic books and adapted in various other media and merchandise. DC Comics Publisher Jim Lee considers Harley Quinn the fourth pillar of DC Comics' publishing line, behind Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Originally voiced by Arleen Sorkin in the DC Animated Universe, she has since appeared in many other DC projects voiced by actresses such as Tara Strong, Hynden Walch, Laura Bailey, Jenny Slate, Melissa Rauch, Laura Post, and Kaley Cuoco; the latter provided the character's voice in the 2019 animated series, Harley Quinn. Mia Sara portrayed the character in the 2002 television series Birds of Prey. Harley Quinn makes her live-action cinematic debut in the DC Extended Universe film Suicide Squad (2016), where she is portrayed by Margot Robbie. Robbie reprises her role in Birds of Prey (2020) and The Suicide Squad (2021). Stjepan Šejić (born November 27, 1981) is a Croatian comic bookwriter and artist, known for his work on the series Witchblade, Aphrodite IX, Sunstone, and The Darkness among others. The Lüscher color test is a psychological test invented by Max Lüscher in Basel, Switzerland. Max Lüscher believed that sensory perception of color is objective and universally shared by all, but that color preferences are subjective, and that this distinction allows subjective states to be objectively measured by using test colors. Lüscher believed that because the color selections are guided in an unconscious manner, they reveal the person as they really are, not as they perceive themselves or would like to be perceived.
