Harleen Quinzel
Few characters have made the leap from animated sensation to comics royalty quite like Harleen Quinzel, who burst onto the page in 1995 courtesy of Paul Dini and Ty Templeton in The Batman and Robin Adventures #1. A Modern Age creation through and through, she's spent over three decades cementing herself as one of DC's most compelling and unpredictable presences, racking up nearly 350 catalog appearances across flagship titles like Batman, Detective Comics, and DC Comics: Bombshells. She keeps electrifying company — Batman, Bruce Wayne, Robin, Poison Ivy, and even Green Lantern have all shared her orbit — and with two key collector issues to her name, her comics footprint is as outsized as her personality. If you're building a serious DC collection, Harleen Quinzel is absolutely essential reading.
