Really, DC? You're going to publish this gross stupidity to the market? I thought the comics side of the business had some standards. Not even the most woke comic out there would stoop to this level.

Unbelievable.

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.

I'm curious how Harley can be one DC's most successful characters, yet they seem to have no direction for her. For a while they were pushing the sex appeal aspect (exemplified by Margot Robbie's skimpy outfit in Suicide Squad), but that's completely at odds with whatever this is.

I can understand throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks, but do they not see the damage this does to the brand?

My initial reaction was that this is obviously intended to be funny. But I just don't see it. Without even bothering to check, I just assumed that it was written by a woman. After Slash Man's reply, I checked it out.

Sure nuff, Joanne Starer.

Women aren't funny.

I'll be fair, this is a tall order for anyone to attempt. You could put Alan Moore on this and it still wouldn't be anything short of embarrassing.
