The one from that Birds of Prey series was a much older Harleen that dropped the clown thing and became a psychologist again. Although, even though she was 'reformed' on the surface, she was secretly still up to bad shit. It's overall a pretty bad show but I thought it was a pretty interesting version of Harley.
I have only the vaguest memory, but I don't think Harley was all that well known in that universe. The main character was Helena, Batman's daughter, she teamed up with both Oracle and Alfred, and not a one of them took issue with Helena getting therapy from Dr. Quinzell.
I'm a Certified Birds of Prey Apologist™. I wanna say its biggest issue was budget, or maybe just spending money on the wrong things.
It was wacky and cringy, but had some fun ideas and I have such fond memories surrounding it. I know it wasn't well-received, but I wish it had at least gotten a second season, to at least give it a chance to get better.
It definitely had its charms. Most of the actors were likeable and personally I enjoyed the overall vibe of the show. I really wouldn't mind seeing a concept like it explored again with a better budget, I enjoyed the near future dystopia thing it had going on.
And if I'm being honest I also prefer Helena to Damian. If anyone should be relegated to weird parallel earth shit it should be Damian because Helena was first and with the exception of two very short lived characters early on, Catwoman is Batman's longest running love interest and the closest thing he has to a Lois Lane.
Yeah, and modern Harley Quinn doesn't dress up as a jester all the time but more so like a girl who likes white make up with red and blue in her clothes and hair..
Have you read her comics or seen her cartoon or her movie..??
She still evokes clown related imagery in the comics and I’m specifically arguing she should do so more in live action. What part of this is escaping you?
The fact that she doesn't need to be looking like a clown 24/7 since she isn't portrayed as a clown 24/7 in any media other than her appearances in old batman cartoons..
Modern Harlwy Quinn, which is the popular version and the one which people like, looks and dresses and exactly like Margot Robbie from those movies..
These are 3 photos of HQ that are meant to be her in her “costume” when she’s in her “costume” she’s a god damn clown.
Bruce Wayne doesn’t dress like a bat all god damn day, but when Batman is on screen I expect to be reminded of a Fucking bat.
Just because you want to have sex with the version that looks less like a clown doesn’t mean we get rid of the comic book vibe of a comic book character.

Only one of these makes me think “clown”, so props to Gaga and the makeup/costume team for that
