Don't forget, this Harley took part in the drugging, torturing disfiguring, attempting to murder and naming Jason the Arkham Knight (sending him out to kill his father or die trying). Drugged and overdosed a 5 year old girl after extorting her dad and her for money and ideas to build an entire themepark hide out for Joker. Showed no remorse when she thought she'd killed Tim Drake (as well as still showing no sympathy when its implied his mentor murdered him in this game) She also took part in Jokers plan of kidnapping toddlers, killing them, sowing them together and sending them back "in one piece" with Joker. Arkham Harley was never threated quite as badly as comics harley was, and she was always a lot more proactive and dark in Arkham than she was in the comics and tv show. Basically only the BTAS Harley really seemed to be a good person at heart, someone capable of being redeemed. This Harley was always a monster and a bimbo. I bet she slept her way through her degree because Joker barely had to try to get her wrapped around his finger. Most other verisons had to be tricked and slowly lead into that world. This one ran in with both eyes wide open and set out to do even worse when Joker died. She is the last person to be lecturering Batman. Bruce hurt people, but he always cared. He locked Tim up to keep him safe, and when he found out Jason was alive he stopped trying to attack him entirely, instead ripping Arkham armor off him and trying to talk his son down, apologising to him. Even telling Dick he was proud of him before he left. And saying goodbye to Selina

Any change in his DNA would fuck with his powers very badly, and it makes sense that manipulating the part that gives him his weakness would disrupt his strength, because they are directly linked.

@@landofnoone7048 who says it has to be a shooter? It would give the game more variety. As for the loot. It could be points/ currency to unlock gear or skills from Titans Tower etc. 2 Gear characters and 3 power skill characters. For example a better bow staff for Robin or Electric Disk variants, OG Titans gear from the cartoon, etc. Robin would be traditional Arkham gameplay, Cyborg is the "shooter" with shields, Starfire is essentially Iron Man from the Avengers game, Raven is the healer/hammer. You hit big but massive recharge time, Beast Boy could be useful for groups of enemies. Etc.

[@anotherrandomguy8871]

Dude I would love that idea so much, but I kinda lost hope on that last part, because I doubt they’d let Red Hood lay a single hair on Harley. Hareky is like DC’s sweet child that never does anything wrong now, I doubt they’d show it on screen of Red Hood shooting her in the face. If anything I bet they’d just make a cutscene where RH spared her because she said sorry, and then she blames joker for her awful actions.

Harley was done right *before* she was overrated and extremely popular. During her first debut, Harley managed to kidnap Batman. A younger Bruce, who was *not* the overpowered version that can kill anyone with prep time. She managed something Joker nor any other villain with the exception of Bane could've done alone. She was smart, She was fast, but she simply wasnt a good fighter and obsession over Joker led to her demise. THAT Harley was fun to watch. Her sister-like relationship with Ivy was new and fun as well. I dont know when it exactly happened but between DC Unlimited and Injustice, Harleys popularity skyrocketed alongside Batmans. Suddenly we got Batman who can 1 v 1 Superman in multiple iterations, Joker who can single handedly beat the legion of doom and hold his ground against Batman. Harley, who'm killed people for Joker in the past in every single version of her, suddenly was redeemed and broke up with Joker multiple times in every different story. The first time it was done was interesting. We saw an older Harley married to Bruce to keep his identity secret but eventually grew out of her obsession over Joker after being around Batman long enough.. Not everybody liked the idea but it was a good take. Then we got Injustice Harley, who is for all intents and purposes in a upside down universe where heroes are bad and villains are more reasonable. Then we got new comics and shows with Harley breaking up with Joker to do her own thing. Suddenly she can fight really well, well enough to be in a spec ops squad that goes against trained mercs, other spec ops operatives, monsters etc.

[@FurikusHex]

They could've easily saved this game in two steps: 1. It's not the real Justice League. Brainiac captured them and it took time to perfect their clones which don't have all of their powers just yet due to him still deciphering their DNA. So none of them are as strong as the real Justice League. It would also set up DLC or a sequel called The Suicide Squad Saves The Justice League. 2. MAKE THIS GAME IN ANY UNIVERSE BUT THE ARKHAM ONE.

This is what you get when you let an activist group write the story. Sweet Baby Inc reminds me of Q5, the focus group who ruined kids cartoons in the 80s. Two of the shows they completely ruined were Pound Puppies and Real Ghostbusters. Ironically, after ruining these shows and angering the fans and viewers, Q5 vanished into obscurity. To this day, people are still very angry with Q5. If you want to know what Q5 did to Real Ghostbusters, look up the vid "The Real Ghostbusters: The Bad episodes." Apparently Q5 were called in to "fix" the show even though there was nothing wrong with the show. It was awesome, it had 100% ratings, everyone loved it, no problems at all, then after Q5 tampered with it, the ratings dropped and it fell apart. My guess is that Q5 found nothing wrong with the show, so rather than say "looks great, keep it up", they decided to "find" something wrong that wasn't there.

The fact the game is so lazy that you kill every hero the exact same way by shooting them with bullets is bad enough, but then having Wonder Woman get the only dignified send off and Harley Quinn start lecturing Batman is enough to make me want to march into rocksteady studio and slap every person who worked on it there until they forget they even made this game. Arkham Harley just like all Harley's is a evil villain, but she's one of the worst because she literally murdered a entire school of kindergarten kids and stitched them together in one grotesque piece, and tortured Jason Todd for years with glee. Also drugged a 5 year old with Titan formula and let her die a miserable painful death. Every horrible crime Joker did she was the partner in crime and happy assistant. And Wonder Woman getting a nice send off is some BS, it's blatant double standard the one female character gets that but meanwhile Batman, Flash, Green Lantern and Superman all get the lamest and most insulting deaths possible. They couldn't even have some sadness over their deaths, or a cool and actually difficult fight with unique deaths, they just get shot and clapped without dodging.

At First I was skeptical that the Justice League would be killed by the Suicide Squad but I thought WB mislead us and that they would Unbrainwashed later, but then when they Announced that this will be connected to the Arkham Series I was one of the few people who saw the Red Flags, then Kevin Conroy passed away and this would have been one of the Last Roles(with Crisis Part 3 seemingly being his Final Role), and don’t get me started on the multiple Delays for 3 Goddamn Years, the Shooting Mechanic, and the Live Server B$, I knew that this would be not just a Bad Game, but a Insult to DC and Arkham Fans that would have loved to see Rocksteady make either a Superman, Batman Beyond, or Justice League Game but now it’s clear that the Original People behind the Arkham Games have left and are given the Keys to New People that don’t understand what they’re doing that would lead this Once Great Company into Bankruptcy in the Most Distasteful and Distasteful Way Possible, Nobody in their Right Minds would want a Game that you killed off Some of your Favorite Heroes in Cold Blood, the Live Server Shooter Angle is a Terrible Game for a DC Game, the Only Good Character is King Shark, I like Deadshot but his Anger with Green Lantern is Dumb as Hell, this is the Wrost Harley Quinn played by Tara Strong I didn’t like, Captain Boomerang is the Worst Character in the Game, Lex is more Enjoyable than Waller, the Child Negret is pathetic, Ivy was a Weird Addition to ripoff the Guardians of the Galaxy More, the Graphics are a Major Downgrade to the Arkham Games especially when Knight was pure Perfection even if the Game is Overrated, the Side Characters are Boring, and is just Depressing and Not in a Good or Enjoyable Way when you Play or Watch, all I can Say is that MK1 and Spider-Man 2 are far better than this Abomination that I wish was Cancelled completely, this Game makes me want to play Injustice 2, Multiversus, and MK1 all at Once.
