RIP Arleen Sorkin, The original Harley Quinn
Originally envisioned as an obscure one-shot villain slated to appear in a solitary episode, Harley Quinn’s trajectory shifted dramatically due to the rapid attachment people developed for her, largely propelled by Arlene Sorkin’s portrayal. This portrayal depicted a woman who succumbed to insanity through love, and many resonated with her, recognizing her as a character trapped in a toxic relationship yet striving to endure it.
