Wowowowowowowow. This was a really good interpretation of Harley’s story. Like really. Building up the character of Harleen Quinzel right until

the very end,

made this story so much more tragic, because she starts off as someone with dreams and someone to root for and

I knew what was going to happen but I had hope that it wouldn’t anyway.

I love Harley so much more now, though every time I see her as Harley Quinn from now on I will be even more sad about her backstory and how she got there, how Batman was right:

the Joker did use her and it’s not all her fault.
