Excuse me Lurdiak, but I've watched every Batman movie, and I think that qualifies me as a mental health professional.

I was going to suggest Catwoman #89, where Harley pitches a cartoon based on the look of the animated series and the tv people keep adding things to fit their demographics like a hip asian and whatnot, but having just checked the issue, she kills them all at the end so uhhh never mind. At least get her the Batman Adventures issue where she and Ivy use Bruce's credit card to buy everything (Batman Adventures Holiday Special) redbackground fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Oct 12, 2016 |

Batman TAS is by far the best and, quite frankly, only good characterization of Harley Quinn, considering it invented the character. There's about a billion female Marvel superheroes that fill the idealized, non-rapey or sexualized version of Harley she actually never was or is that a young woman getting into comics would be far better off reading then "sexpot hot lesbian who blows up kids with nintendo DSes".

Harley Quinn is good in Injustice but she's hardly the focus.

Honestly I have no idea how a kid gets into Harley Quinn in 2016 since literally all of it is some combo of terrible and way too adult and you specifically say she didn't like btas Harley. I don't know what else you could be exposed to that wouldn't make you hate the character.

Ghostlight posted:Cognitive dissonance is putting this image next to Spider-man's "With great power comes great responsibility". More so up against the origin of Dr. Strange, in my opinion. Strange starts off as someone super-duper talented in his field and absolutely expecting to be compensated at that level, every time, for his work, and then ends up learning humility and selflessness. I've read it said somewhere that Ditko came across Objectivism somewhere during his time at Marvel, which would definitely account for the difference between Spider-Man and Mr. A.

To be fair, in his crazy and totally unrealistic morality, characters like Mr. A do protect "the innocent" from having their rights restricted by "force" as a personal choice. It's just that the innocent victims are banks and jewelers and not poor people. Of course, it requires the characters be parodies of real human beings to work.

I love those series. Also, the random black/white morality word associations Ditko comes up with are hilarious:  "See, I came up with one strawman example of a case where mercy brought the opposite of justice so I can just call them opposites now!"

It's my first run. The first arc connects back to stuff i wasnt familiar with but the characters themselves were good enough for me to keep going and i like the angle on the current cw2 tie in

Aphrodite posted:They are actually releasing a Harley Quinn Injustice comic soon. It's two issues in right now. The first issue is just all five years of Injustice summed up from Harley's POV. One thing in Injustice that I really loved was Harley's lengthy crush on Shazam. It just made perfect sense. Joker's off the table and he's a buff, handsome dude with the literal mind of a child. The fact that it's all sketchy because of his actual age is the cherry on top, because this is still Harley we're talking about. Then she ends up cutting ties because she is the morally superior one.

spooky like this! posted:Huh, I just learned that Ed Brubaker is a producer on HBO's Westworld TV series. I'm posting today's AV Club interview with him because it was really good, and people will enjoy it: http://www.avclub.com/article/ed-brubaker-westworld-fade-out-and-his-immersion-h-243754 We don't have HBO right now, since we usually only subscribe for Game of Thrones and then cancel, but I was already intrigued by Westworld, and now I'm more psyched than ever due to Brubaker's involvement. Along those lines, I'm binge-watching Lost with my wife (my second time through, her first), and Brian K. Vaughan was a writer and producer throughout seasons 3, 4, and 5, which is very cool.
