They should have put her in a cartoon if they wanted any type of attention. Comics aren't popular.
Harley's origin Was a lightning in a jar situation, I really doubt it'll ever work again with a new characters specifically in modern Time
Cope
Just make a good character and put her in something good and people will like them
it's that easy
of course it's lightning in a jar if your entire fricking genre is built on constant, mind numbing mediocrity
>Just make a good character
But what does that have to do with Harley Quinn?
She still shows up in comics to this day, but being a comic exclusive character casuals don't know her
It's like how causals don't know Spider-Man's White Rabbit despite her being a recurring antagonist since the 70s because she's comic exclusive
She's also in DC Legends
Sexo
Would you blame them? Her costume is such a basic "punk goth" b***h look. And her origin is literally "plain self insert character"
Now let's compare it to Harley
>Real name is Harleen Quinzel
>Which shortens to Harley Quinn
>Name is a play on Harlequin
>Bimbo but actually super smart ( which is hot as frick)
>Initial costume is fricken iconic
Why is the Joker trying to eat Punchline's head?
Ayyy
But yeah this.
>fan favourite harper row
Kek.
Does anyone still ship Bat/Cat after King torpedoesd it from multiple directions?
yes?
Yes.
Mostly because nobody cares what some soon to be forgotten writer puts in his shit book.
DC is fricking terrible at adapting their characters in animation, It's insane that Cassandra cain has existed for nearly 25 years and only started getting animated appearances like 3 years ago. Meanwhile Marvel will make a character and animate them within 3 years.
>and only started getting animated appearances like 3 years ago.
In what?
It's was last year but still counts
Young Justice(renamed Cassandra Wu-san and mute) , the DTV Batman:The Doom that came to Gotham(renamed Kai Cain, for some reason, possibly to make her more obviously chinese...even though Cassandra Wu-san would've worked for a person from HK) and Batwheels(where she's basically Babs but Asian)
....you know putting it that way it doesn't sound much better. YJ is the closest but she's mute by design(when she was only mute for a short time in the comics--YJ has her vocal cords be severed so she's never speaking.
Damian actually did get a role in BATB, granted Catwoman was his mom there and he was imaginary(and mixed with the old SilverAge Alfred imaginary stories Batman Jr.
this is really true because I had no idea damien wayne existed till like 3 years ago and he's been around since 06?
The only exception I can think of is Blue Beetle (Jaime). I think his appearance in BATB was really close to his comics debut.
Dan Didio's autism prevented a lot of characters from seeing the limelight.
The problem doesn't stem from Didio but the C suites who won't spend a dime on projects.
They just stopped using her for some reason.
Because they didn't know what the frick to do with her.
They are. She just got done with a mini and is working with Selina now and is fan favorite harper rows arch nemesis
>and is fan favorite harper rows arch nemesis
When the frick did Harper come back? Why? Her retirement was the best thing to come out of Batman and Robin Eternal. No one fricking likes her stop trying to make her a thing.
Bluebird came out of retirement in the backup stories about Punchline in the Joker solo
Harper was the only person trying to make sure that Punchline actually went to prison for her crimes but fricked up, she got off scot free and Harper's brother almost joined Punchline's followers
She needs to have sex with Nightwing. That will propel her.
That hasn't helped the career of every single female DC comics character.
Have her show off her big jap tiddies.
The fact that there are still people that think Punchline is Japanese is always my favorite piece of evidence of how little anyone actually gives a shit about her.
>Because they didn't know what the frick to do with her.
She was suppose to be the Joker for 5G except that project fell apart once Didio was fired
No they didn't she has continually had comic appearanced since she appeared.
Hell she's got a Knight Terrors mini right now.
No they fricking didn’t. She’s consistently been appearing in stuff. SHE LITERALLY HAS A KNIGHT TERRORS SOLO COMIC
She's hotter than Harley
Yes, but
She's not crazy, she's just not blindfolded to the disgusting evils of this world and the way those evils impact our everyday lives anymore and is trying to do something about it. If anything, you're the one that's crazy.
>create new character
>give her to tini howard
>character dies
>give any character to tini howard
>character dies
tynion oc syndrome
Punchline is better than modern Harley.
After watching that shit show called Harley Quinn show yeah , you're correct
White women love clowns
I like her
Punchline is fine and if she was pushed as hard as Harley you'd b***h. Really OP just spams this thread now
>Still look from forgotten Batman villain with a better concept.
Holy frick, I never even made the connection but damn. Mime had a small cameo in Arkham Asylum: Living Hell, but I think that was like twenty years ago. Has she been in ANYTHING else?
>intended to be edgier, grittier, not-your-older-sister's Harley Quinn
>still gets pumped and dumped
At least Jokers Daughter got a happy ending, unless they fricked that up.
Give Joker a Robin again.
Alexis is cool but she's fundamentally flawed because she has no real role to build off of, Harley is sold as a hero character now, yet whenever they want they also place her as jokers sidekick again so Punchline ends up having no real niche to use, when was the last time she was even used as Joker's sidekick.
i like her though
You realize Harley didn't get popular until Arkham Asylum dropped in '09, right?
The fact that they don't do a "new gf versus the ex" shtick with her and Harley baffles me.
>You realize Harley didn't get popular until Arkham Asylum dropped in '09, right?
Imagine believing this
Zoomzoom.
just post the big booba fanart versions
why didnt they just have her and harley team up and rape the joker? that would've sold out
Name Punchline was just a bad fit for her.
The problem is DC is very slow at putting their recent character additions in the spotlight. Which is a blessing is disguise because a lot of them suck (and even those that do suck eventually get shilled when DC realizes that they could sell them to normies. Ahem, Court of Owls.)
Concept-wise Punchline is perfectly fine. A foil to Harley Quinn as an unapologetically evil henchwoman of Joker and a representation of a slightly different strain of a serial killer-obsessed thot. She's JUST fine and that's the problem. She could've been more compelling if Big Two had anyone who's actually talented to write her but that's a general Big Two issue, not pertaining solely to Punchline.
