Yeah I know, that's my point though; if he's so upset by the fact a person he considered mentally ill wasnt responding to treatment and was even hostile to getting treated, he probably shouldn't have involved himself in the mental health/treatment of a mentally ill stranger to begin with. My point was you can't say "to be fair he tried to help her" when he's so clearly lovely at it.

Well, he's more upset at having being played like a fiddle by Duela. He was projecting himself on her and was convinced she wanted to change.

Obviously he was reckless dealing with her but I guess this start the chain of actions that will give him the villian status he has after Rebirth.

Yeah while I think it'd kinda messed up Jason did it because he sucks at psychology, I'm still counting it as a win for Lobdell. If DC/Lobdell wanted to turn Red Hood into the garbageman of bad DC villains I'd be all for it.

Like Harley Quinn's origin is that she was Joker's psychiatrist, the next Joker's Daughter should be his public defender.

Her spin-off can be called "JD, JD".

First ask yourself where the gun comes from.

Because it just magically appears in her hand.

I think we're forced to assume that she pulled it from Red Hood's.... pants? Jacket pocket? Invisible holster? Any of the three incarnations of that gun are too big for any of those but it makes way more sense than JD having it on her the whole time.

The author caught a bit of flack for this already. He explained that Kenji can be Chinese, and that he picked it for two reasons: it's got a hard K sound like Clark Kent, and Americans won't gently caress it up too bad.

Nah, the original Joker's Daughter was the second Harlequin.Her original gimmick (long before this version) was that she fought Robin and claimed to be the daughter of various supervillains. Robin eventually figured out she was Duela Dent, Harvey's daughter. She changed her name when she tried to join the Teen Titans.

This is a new version though,. She just found the Joker's face floating in the sewer and decided to wear it.

She's just a poo poo character who found a lovely skinned face in a pile of poo poo and then decided to wear it all the time like a dumbshit.

DC really, REALLY wanted JD to be the next Harley Quinn and they were really close to giving her a hard push. Supposedly there are two completed issues of a canceled JD ongoing series sitting in a drawer somewhere by an unnamed creative team.

I don't understand that at all. Not only is Harley still making them a buttload of money but why would you just take another crazy girl version of the same loving villain and expect it to take off? Maybe give a Superman villain or one of Flash's rogues a Harley of their own and see what happens but christ don't just give us the Big Lots version of Harley.
