Nice word ijimk- Über-Nerd! (Sorry, but I had to add the umlauts.)

Wonder if anyone's told them?
Might not have the highest priority. I'm sure they'd be quicker if it were the main site.
eva01 said:Harley Quinn
I love her because i do enjoy Joker, I don't know why i love Quinn but i do.
ANd best part is she was only created for the Animated Series and wasn't in the comic book before.
the character's name is/was harley quinn? heehee. was someone browsing some cheesy romance novel with fabio while they named her?
(because of the old school romance series publisher harlequinn, for everyone who doesn't spend much time around books)

A very nice discovery question fear. Thanks for showing the connection (I read books, but it didn't occur to me).

one of those things you don't connect until you encounter them. My first week working in a bookstore someone asked me where the "harley-quinns" were, and I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I couldn't find this author in any of our databases....

Older than that, there are some obscure Agatha Christie short stories with a character named Harley Quin (one N). The character wears some kind of checked costume and is related to the "commedia dell'arte" mentioned by Macaddicttt above - a story or play with 4 characters, referenced in some of her novels as well, which appears to have faded into obscurity.
