Oh poo poo, is that why media companies in general are always disappointing us to some extent with some franchises? We ask for cool things by name so they have to do something not as good on purpose?

That really sucks, if so, and also wouldn't surprise me.

I think it kind of depends on the situation. If you Tweeted "Maybe Peacemaker can show up on Harley Quinn?" to Kaley Cuoco and Justin Halpern that'd probably be fine. If you sent them your 400 page fanfic screenplay about Peacemaker on Harley Quinn (and they provably read it), that would probably screw with them doing anything that resembled anything in that screenplay.

The only known case of this allegedly happening involved Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series. As it turns out, she lied about it loudly to all her author friends, and was also an incredibly evil person for unrelated reasons.

Yeah, studios are supposed to throw out, sight unseen, any unsolicited scripts or pitches specifically to shield them from getting sued.

Lying about fanfic seems fairly evil IMO, but presumably she and her husband abused kids in their care or something, right? I never read any of Darkover and after this do not plan to.

That said, after a trip to Wikipedia, the daughter that accused Bradley apparently believes that homosexuality leads to pedophilia so... yeesh.

I think it'd be cool if Margot Robbie showed up as Harley Quinn in Peacemaker but the real prize for me would be Lake Bell showing up on the show as live-action Poison Ivy.

Yeah but then Kaley Cuoco would have to show up as Harley instead of Margot

Nothing against Cuoco. But if James Gunn is directing Harley, it should be Robbie.

Oh, I agree with that. Though if Margot can't/won't do it, I think Cuoco would be okay.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

In the non canon Batman: White Knight, there was a pre-New 52 Harley and a post-New 52 Harley with the explanation that the Joker was so insane, he never noticed the old one leave and get replaced.

There's also the current canon arc where Harley sneaks into the new Arkham by pretending to be someone who thinks they're Harley Quinn, but isn't

Fun fact: King Shark in the comics is a humanoid hammerhead. HQ and TSS both made him a great white independently of each other.

Unrelated to that, I recently rewatched TSS and I'd love a prequel show about Polka Dot Man.

I think being a hammerhead is unique to his New 52 version. In most of his incarnations he’s a great white.

That would explain a Sylvester Stallone voice as well as anything else. Possibly a Vin Diesel voice as well.

That was planned at some point by Scott Snyder or someone, but was ultimately dropped and made into a non canon story.
