First Look at Absolute Harley Quinn Unveiled

We have an exciting first look at the Absolute Harley Quinn from DC Comics' Absolute Batman series thanks to Bleeding Cool, alongside the reveal of the monstrous Absolute Joker. The new interpretation by writer Scott Snyder and artist Nick Dragotta introduces controversial changes to Harley's character which are sure to spark discussions among fans.

During the recent Dragon Con event, Snyder shared insights about the Absolute Universe, suggesting radical transformations for iconic characters. He stated, "If Bruce is Joker now, and he is chaos and he is disruption, then Joker is the system and order." This bold narrative shift positions the Joker in a more sophisticated light, with potential for a mansion, socialite status, and perhaps even sidekicks labeled as 'Robins'.

In Absolute Batman #12, the storyline continues to evolve as Batman builds alliances with the Red Hood Gang. The forthcoming issue #13 promises to showcase Harley as the leader of this gang, having traded her vibrant costume and makeup for a more divisive look.

Speculation is rife regarding the implications of these changes, with questions raised about a possible rivalry between Batman's allies and Joker's followers. The themes of loyalty and conflict in the alternate reality mirror other storylines found in comics.

As fans await the next chapters, with upcoming issues hinting at dramatic confrontations, the direction of Harley Quinn's role in Gotham City remains intriguing. The anticipation builds for the next issue featuring Absolute Joker, set for release in December.
