and maybe she still becomes a rogue- because personally I can't believe that she went "crazy" only because of the Joker. Part of my reasoning is that her story interprets as a feminist journey in learning independence after abuse, and another part is that she had to be capable of doing all the things she's done

(also im gonna be honest i dont know as much about her origin since it's been so long since i've watched the media- which i should really do- but she fell in love with the Joker, knew it wasn't the sanest thing, didn't tell anyone else and thus became Harley Quinn. But! I am NOT saying it was her fault in any way, she was coaxed and mislead, and especially if she were mentally unstable when she met the Joker, all of this would be made easier than someone in their fully right mind and is therefore more vulnerable and unsafe, to herself and others. Which also leads back to my point: she wasn't mentally stable at the time and even without Joker there, that doesn't change most of her circumstances, and so it theoretically wouldn't change her capacity of becoming a rogue.)

And then there's some shenanigans with Jazz and Danny- two civilians- being all chummy with a rogue. Or maybe having severe and messy drama with a rogue. This random girl gets caught up in an attack and on live television gets in a heated and nonsensical argument with an infamous rogue - there's name calling, flashbacks, obscene comments, and even some slapping. It only gets broken up when Batman and co show up and physically break apart the two, where this girl gets one last hit in with her purse before storming off. Some basic research shows they were partners at Arkham Asylum, and this goes viral. There's theories, commentary, iceberg dives, explanations, clips, reactions, memes, debates, etc.

And it only gets worse and worse each time the two women run into each other.

Danny: Jazz! I just scored you a personal internship with Harleen Frances Quinzel! The same woman you write your college entrance essay on!

Jazz: *Squeal* How did you manage that?!

Danny: I pulled some strings on the other side. Pays to be Ghost King. Now pack your bags, we're going to Gotham for two years!

Jazz: We?

Danny: Of course. Like I would leave you alone for months on end. I got myself a paid internship in Wayne Tech.

Jazz: *Louder Squeal* This is going to be so much fun! Did you know Miss Quinzel just accepted a job as Arkham Asylum? She's going to personally work on Joker!

Danny: You have the perfect window to posion him!

Jazz: Dreams do come true!
