If Jared Leto's Joker want to win back Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie, he's got a lot to make up for.
According to a new plot synopsis of the upcoming movie, Jared Leto's Joker comes into the movie with a very big mission: to win back Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn. The love gamble between these two may be cute but, will there been any room for them to have a happy ending?
Harley was first introduced to the DC mythology; created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm for the 1993 episode of Batman: The Animated Series.
The character immediately crossed over into comics in addition to additional animated appearances, along with Dini and Timm collaborating on the 1994 The Batman Adventures: Mad Love graphic novel. This is where Harley Quinn's origin was revealed: that she had been the Joker's psychiatrist in Arkham Asylum before falling under his spell and turning to crime.
However, this is just an unrequited love story since Harley loved the Joker more than he did her. As a matter of fact, some say that the Joker doesn't love her at all.
In recent years, Harley slowly transitioned from supporting character to solo star -- the Harley Quinn comic book being a surprise hit for DC Entertainment. The series shows that her relationship with the Joker has gone from awkward, uncomfortable comic relief to a problem that needed to be solved.
In the 2012's Batman No. 14, the issue features Quinn crying and saying, "He's not my Mr. J anymore..."
The Suicide Squad offers an alternate take on the characters, one where the abusive relationship could live again, playing against the redemptive arc the movie sets up for its villains-turned-anti-heroes. And of course, there's still a possibility that the movie adaptation of Harley will reject the Joker in the same way as how it was written in the comics.
Suicide Squad will be released August 5.
