This is actually part of her development, at least in the comics pre-52. She managed to leave the joker’s shadow and become her own person. Though she wasn’t full hero but more anti-hero, similar to cat-women.
Spoiler
Death of the Family was the first new 52 comic series I had read, and Harley seemed pretty independent. Like, when Joker showed up, she was still all head over heels for him, even when he started abusing her seconds after he reunited with her. But when he basically tried to kill her, she retaliated by fighting him back and doing a good number on him, barely losing in the end (and it was the kinda loss where you’re like, if she really wanted to, she could’ve killed him).
Uh, not really. When you are beaten to within an inch of your life, you either pack up and leave or get splattered. Her solo run was uneventful, leading to her personal gang getting killed off, failing in run-in’s with Superman, before eventually going back to sidekick duty with Poison Ivy and Catwoman. She never really did anything “good” she just wouldn’t resort to baby killing and stuff. Similar to the Rogues code of ethic.
If anything her New-52 self made her more interesting without Joker, and her Injustice appearance is more a hybrid of Arkham Asylum and New 52 but with more redneck in the facial area.
Doing the jokey kind of voice while reading a serious monologue just doesn’t work all that well.
Also DAT ASS!
I wouldn’t really call it sidekick duty with GCS, since at times she’s had to bail both Selina & Pamela out of their respective troubles. Although they did have to do the same once she got lovesick over the clown again.
Not to mention she beat the holy hell out of the clown before being locked up, then broke both her wrists (a la Wade Wilson) to escape. One of the few bright spots New 52 has done…
Chalk it up to Tara not measuring up. Sorry, but Arleen would’ve pulled that off flawlessly.
Boon is not allowed to leave his office until he bring me Animal Man
Why is Scarecrow in the game as a stage hazard?
Spoiler
In the canon of Injustice, Scarecrow is dead. Then again, Joker is apparently dead too, but I guess they have yet to get to the explanation of why Joker is alive in the game. So…maybe it’s somebody else under the Scarecrow moniker? I guess in the end it doesn’t matter, but I want a reason for why he’s there other than he’s only there for fans of the Arkham Asylum games.
Also, four DLC characters? Nice. I hope for Swamp Thing, since I want this game to have another grappling character other than Solomon Grundy. I know there’s Bane and Doomsday, but both characters are less about grappling then Grundy is; Bane has the “power-up” gimmick with his venom, and Doomsday seems to be a straight power-hitter rather then a grappler.
Spoiler
Wait, when did scarecrow die in injustice? I don’t recall that at all.
Maybe I saw it wrong, but…
Spoiler
In Injustice #2, Flash and Batman come upon Scarecrow’s body at a Star Labs building. They don’t outright say he’s dead, but Scarecrow’s keeled over with a big smile on his face; the results of Joker’s laughing gas. Maybe I’m wrong, but doesn’t that stuff kill people?
I think SF and other fighting games have spoiled me. In those games if you finish someone off with a super you see flashing lights or a slow-mo replay. In Injustice the character just falls to the ground Sighs
Maybe it is just for the promo vids but the slow crumple to the ground is weird, especially since the fighters are getting hammered through walls and blasted with guns.
that’s classic mk shit. I’d be disappointed if it WASN’T in every game NRS does
Eh, I think it’s just for the trailers & demos. Besides, in MK they’re put in a daze because you’re supposed to rip their arms off/smash their heads/disembowel them/[insert brutal fatality here]. I doubt they’ll leave them as just falling to their knees, especially after being finished with a Super Move. That would just make almost every match awkward.
With PAX taking place today (it’s 1am where i am) many of our questions should be answered. Because i’m sure the build they’re bringing there is 95% complete.
Spoiler
Oh yeah, right. Forgot about that. Though it looked like a different scarecrow ingame (looked like the Arkham costume) so it could possibly be another, which isn’t that far fetched considering going off Harley’s trailer, there is indeed a possibility that the Joker in this game could be a fake.
Remember when Boon teased four comic books and asked who we would like to see? My money is that was the 4 DLC characters right there, just so that fans who went nuts over a book posted will go home happy when they buy em.
DC could have mandated that NRS add the “fall on the ground” animation to show that the heroes didn’t kill someone, I.E the whole “Heroic Brutality” thing all over again.
Of course, given the nature of the story so far in the comic, that would make no sense at all, which I think strengthens my theory.
judging by the pictures the 4 DLC characters are all DLC_Basemale but in different poses
I doubt they’re all guys to be real. I’m assuming Blue Beetle, Lobo, Power Girl (please don’t mess her face NRS), and Swamp Thing or something. Regardless of who it is though, I doubt its all male.
I did not know that. English is not my native language, so I was not familiar with that saying; and I missunderstood it.
I apologize to jak for calling him stupid.
I am not black.
I am not stupid.
Capcom is one of the worst companies out there, when it comes to business practices. In my opinion they surpass EA by far.
SRK is fine.
Leaving for PAX soon. I intend to spend a lot of time with Injustice. I just need to decide on a character to play as.
