Harley Quinn has become Hollywood’s most famous female villains no thanks to the recent suicide squad film staring Margot Robbie ,however, the character first appeared in the batman: the animated series in an episode called jokers favour. what makes her character so iconic is her red and black jester costume and her many weapons such as a hammers, baseball bats and guns. although Harley was only supposed to be a one off appearance her main reason for existing was to be a love interest for the joker which exposes the feminist theory, this theory shoes that she was only there to give the jokers character depth and sympathy, also the character represents the thing theory this s because when she was a doctor at Arkham asylum Harley becomes fascinated with the joker while treating him however she falls hopelessly in love with him helping him escape but once her part is played he is constantly trying to get rid of her by insulting her, ignoring her , hurt her and even try’s to kill her this shows that the joker only sees her as an object that can be replaced and moved across the chess board to freedom.
Harley look has adapted throughout the year, to begin with, it was a jester costume now it has changed sill embodying the original colours she now wars tight shorts a t-shirt and a bomber jacket pared with her iconic baseball bat and her heeled boot. this look has bene sexualized by the comic as well as begin adapted by animators and film makers. this look also links back to the feminist theory as it shows that she was only there to ass a feminist part to the story but the writers could never dream of her standing alone as a strong female character which she has done in most recent years.
