New DC Comics Harley Quinn Funko Pop! vinyl figures.
Harley Quinn (Harleen Frances Quinzel) is a character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.
She was created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm for Batman: The Animated Series as a henchwoman for the Joker, and debuted in its 22nd episode, “Joker’s Favor”, on September 11, 1992.
While intended to appear in one episode, Quinn became a recurring character within the DC Animated Universe (DCAU) as the Joker’s sidekick and love interest, and was adapted into DC Comics’ canon seven years later, beginning with the one-shot Batman: Harley Quinn #1 (October 1999).
Quinn’s origin story features her as a former psychologist at Gotham City’s Arkham Asylum who was manipulated by and 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 Italian theater commedia dell’arte.
Because of her popularity, Harley Quinn was adapted into DC’s comic books. In September 1993, she made her comic book debut in the 12th issue of The Batman Adventures, a series set in the universe of The Animated Series, and became a regular character. In 1999, she became a canonical character with the release of Batman: Harley Quinn.
Harley Quinn has become one of DC Comics’ most popular and profitable characters, appearing in many DC comic books and adapted into various other media and merchandise, including appearances in the films Suicide Squad (2016), Birds of Prey (2020) and The Suicide Squad (2021) and her own Harley Quinn: The Animated Series (2019).
