Brother-Eye is back with a vengeance, my friends.

The following is my interview with Arleen Sorkin, the actress who provided the voice of Harley Quinn:

Find out:
- How The Princess Bride, Days of Our Lives, and Arleen herself helped inspire the creation of the character.
- Arleen's (unintentional) story contributions to Batman: The Animated Series
- Why she thinks Harley stays with Joker
- Her opinions on the recent Batman: Arkham Asylum video game, where she returned as Harley.

That awkward moment when you remember the only Batman who's never killed is George Clooney...

kewl! thanks for posting. i enjoyed reading that. :)

i'm sure it comes as a shock to everyone here but i'm often compared to harley....ya....i have no idea where that comes from.

A great read Ben. Awesome stuff about how the character and episodes came to be.

Love it! Thanks!

Did she by any chance do the voice for you? ;)

Thanks for the feedback.  This is, hopefully, the first of many interviews.

She did not, though I didn't ask.
But you can very easily hear the Harley in her real voice.

Very, very enjoyable read!

Thanks for the link, BatmAngelus.

Hell, I might even want to print this interview out. That's how much I liked it.  8)

Great stuff BatmAngelus.  You've got me salivating at the thought of any more interviews.  
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

Very good interview, BatmAngelus. We all appreciate it.


I can accept different voices for Batman or Superman but unless Sorkin is doing Harley I just can't buy it. Every now and then someone will do a great impression (Arkham Asylum fanfilm, unaired pilot of "Birds of Prey") but it still doesn't work for me.
