Harley Quinn Helped Influence a New Generation of Criminals
Harley Quinn has been on a radical journey in the last few years, but she’s recently tried walking on the straight and narrow (albeit as part of her community service). Harley began shaping young minds by teaching college students everything she knew about psychology. However, Harley began feeling drawn back to the world of super-villainy. Wanting to connect her interest in the human mind with villainy, Harley Quinn began offering assistance to costumed criminals to improve their tactics and commit crimes in a more healthy manner. Unfortunately, this drewthe attention of a Gotham cop who absolutely loathed Harley Quinn.
Fans don’t need to be told twice about how the Joker brought out the worst side of Harley Quinn and helped lure her into a world of villainy. Harley infamously broke away, but ironically she’s doing the same thing to young women (albeit in an indirect way). Harley may not have met Officer Pulaski’s daughter or tempted her into a life of crime, but Harley’s love of the limelight and carefree attitude in regard to crime sure made it look appealing.Harley Quinn wants to make an impact on the world, but this is the worst way to do it.
