## Depiction

### Cartoon

Harleen Quinzel first appears near the end of the third part of the first episode of the series, *Sweet Justice*, in a video call to Babs. Harley tells Babs that she misses her, that she'd have done more to keep Babs in Gotham, and that best friends are worth fighting for, which inspires Babs to fight so that Diana can stay in Metropolis. Harley ends the call with a police siren and flashing lights in the background, saying she's "gotta run" because of "Gotham stuff."

Harleen Quinzel first appears as Harley Quinn in the episode *Beeline*, where she plots to blow up a bridge in an effort to get her teacher Mr. Johnson stuck in traffic and miss giving her a math test. Harley is featured again in the short *Remote Uncontrolled* where she fights Pam over the television remote control.

Harley is prominently featured in the episode *GothamCon*, where she meets Babs under the identity of Harleen and goes to the GothamCon convention with her. They cross Gotham, frolicking and taking pictures among crime scenes and seedy parts of the city, then arrive at Gotham. They attend an event with a special guest which Babs expects to be Batman, but the special guest turns out to be Robin. When Robin insults Babs, Harleen shows up as Harley Quinn and attacks Robin, but she's foiled by Batgirl. A montage sequence shows her attacking Robin and being foiled by Batgirl multiple times. Eventually, she tries to attack Robin with a steamroller, and when Babs finds Robin flattened on the floor she breaks into tears, telling Harleen that despite her dislike of Robin she didn't wish him dead. The two are surprised to find that Robin is alive and well and that Harley ran over a standee cutout. Harleen gasps and the camera zooms on Robin and cuts to a bomb strapped under his chair. Harley Quinn attempts to get rid of it along with Batgirl, and when it's defused Harley runs away while Batgirl chases her. In the next scene, Harleen says goodbye to Babs before she gets on a bus to Metropolis, and gives her a signed photo of Robin, with the shot cutting to Harley Quinn threatening Robin so he signs the photo. The episode ends with Babs telling Harleen "See you next year!" with Harleen saying to herself that maybe they'll see each other sooner. In the middle of a fight with starro babs gets a call from Harley telling her that she is moving to metropolis. When she gets there she pranks everyone like shooting permanent ink on her shirt and shooting water at Jessica or Kara ( I can’t remember who ) she walks out the door with babs. Harley tells babs she got some new friends and they go on a mailbox smashing spreethen babs ask Harley if they can talk at which point babs decides to leave. Harley blows up a national post station and says that’s how you smash a mailbox then her friends ask her if she wants to have some “real fun” they transform into there supervillain form and go on a crime spree. The super hero girls try to stop them but they are outmatched and are beaten by Harley Quinn. Then babs shows up and fights Harley Quinn. The next day they ask each other how they got their scars and start reading Batman while clouds form.

Harley appears again in the short *Soul Taken* where she takes Katana's sword and runs around with it at the Metropolis pier. Harley eventually throws away the sword in favor of a mallet.
