Hrm. To be honest I’m not really sure how I feel about this issue. I can totally see Harley stepping up to try and keep the Joker away from Batman and Catwoman long enough for them to get married…but there’s something off at the same time. Maybe it’s the way Harley went around with keeping him busy/trying to kill him? The Harley that is in the comics now doesn’t behave this way – she’s a serious fighter with even more issues with Joker than ever before. I’m not certain how things would go down between her and Joker if she really went after him right now…but I don’t think it’d be this. Still, it was a pretty fun read, if you allow yourself to put all those facts aside. It’s a bit closer to the original Harley and Joker dynamics than we’ve seen in a while…which is both good and bad I think. Also, I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that this was set before the Best Man issue of Batman – you know the one, where Joker goes after a whole church of people? The ending of this issue certainly seems to imply it.
