![]() Margot Robbie's interpretation of the character is a departure from some previous versions, and while Dini had not (as of these quotes) seen the completed film, he's impressed by what he's seen so far. Inspired by a turn as a harlequin by voice actress Arleen Sorkin on Days of Our Lives, Quinn was originally meant to be a one-off Joker henchwoman in a single episode but became arguably the breakout star of the entire series thanks to successive appearances and a winning character design. And nothing demonstrates that influence more than Harley Quinn - an original creation of Dini's - has become a core part of the Batman and Joker "canon." The series is often cited as the foundation for many Batman fans and an emerging generation of DC Comics writers. The series, a starmaking turn for co-creator Paul Dini, rewrote the book on Western action cartoons and kickstarted Dini and Bruce Timm's decades-long DC Animated Universe continuum. It's been a long held truism that the most influential modern version of the Batman mythos since the 1990s hasn't been any of the live-action films or even the original comics, but rather Batman: The Animated Series. ![]()
