There are many amazing actresses who have taken on the role of Harley Quinn over the years, but who is the best of the best?
When one thinks of iconic characters such as Batman or the Joker, one often thinks of their origin stories as having begun in the pages of DC Comics for a good reason. This is because most of DC’s most popular heroes and villains are ones who got their start by debuting in various comic books before appearing in other forms of media.
Then there are characters such as Harley Quinn.
Unlike most of the popular heroes from the Batman franchise who first appeared in comics before moving into other mediums, Harley Quinn was introduced in Batman: The Animated Series as an original character created specifically for the show. She was supposed to simply appear in just one episode as a change of pace from all the other henchmen the creative team had for The Joker. However, one episode turned into two, two turned into three and soon Harley had become a staple of the show — but that was just the start!
The popularity of the character only continued to grow following Batman: The Animated Series with Harley eventually making the jump to comics and becoming a staple in the DC universe.
Ever since making her debut in Batman: The Animated Series, Harley Quinn has become a staple in DC both in the pages of its comics as well as through the company’s many movies, TV shows, games, and more.
Note: While there were multiple other actors to voice Harley Quinn on TV and in video games, this list will take a look at the eight most famous (and best) to do so on the big screen or small screen.
