Harley Quinn debuted as an original character on Batman: The Animated Series in 1992, and over thirty years later she’s become a beloved character with her own movie and adult animated show.

Looking solely at the show, Harley Quinn has killed multiple people for numerous selfish and frivolous reasons.

Ultimately, Harley Quinn tows the line between hero and villain, and her character development as an anti-hero is a main focus of the show.
