I see Ms. Harley Quinn is starting to become really popular. Her Comic series is outselling a lot of other comic series as shown below even leaving behind the face of comics Superman. Why is that? What turned so many people on to this lady? Why is her popularity jumping from when she was first introduced to now?

DC is really pushing her. I approve.

@ariesxmasters: It's jumping because DC decided to put money on her and they finally decided to let her have her own story without having the Joker in every single panel. I don't mind their special ''relationship'' but she needed something different.

@the_stegman: I saw. They even started putting out Two issues a month for her. She has been consistently on the Top 15 comic sales.

Because she's sexy.

Easy.

1.) She's a Batman character. Batman characters get love for being Batman related. See Catwoman, Deathstroke (His relationship with Robin in TT animation and his relationship with Batman in comics), Nightwing and everyone else who gets a book because they're related to Batman. Don't be shocked if Alfred gets a book.

2.) She's not just a Batman character, she's Joker's girlfriend. If there is a character that people like more than Batman in comics, it's Joker. The fact that she's Joker's girlfriend makes her more likeable to people. I'm not going to lie, I hate the character, but her story of an abusive relationship is actually a good one.

3.) People really like idiotic, childish and stupid character that make jokes that are intended for 5 year olds. See Deadpool, Spider-Man...

Quinn is the perfect storm of all these things that sell really well. Batman, Joker and lame jokes.

@superguy1591: #1 was funny lol. Alfred getting a book? I'll really have seen it all haha. You are half right Batman related characters do get a lot of love and support. I think it is because it is a little more of a realistic environment. These regular human with no powers and just expert fighting skills and weapons. Versus Superman or Aquaman complete fantasy land. #3 Is funny but sadly kind of true I don't know if it is the case for Harley though.

@shadowhuntr: Yeah she defiantly is different now with Mister J. She is more of human like character and not some physopath. I like to see she is developing into her own character more.

The Arkham games helped a lot.

By the way, has anyone read the new Quinn series? Is it any good?

@eyedcyou: I have. There interesting I will say. It's how harley quinn would be without the joker. It starts off a little slow but later it picks up and a lot of it is Harley trying to find out who put a bounty on here head.

@ariesxmasters: Sounds pretty interesting! I'm going to check out that, JL3000, and Superman unchained

@ariesxmasters: An Alfred, pre-Batman book would be the sh*t.

@eyedcyou Justice League 3000 i'd stay away from. Superman unchained is alright, I love the artwork though. Story wise superman is dealing with General lane (Lois Lane father) and a guy who fights for him called wraith(Shown in the picture). Who wont listen to superman who just wants to talk.

@silverpool: I am kind of curious about alfred past too. That would make for a interesting book. Alot of people hate on batman because he has such a big fandom.

Yeah, stuff like Dark Knight and Earth One give tidbits and hints at his past that are always interesting, but never fleshed out.

@silverpool: That would a be good idea. I am kind of curios of how he got his place in the wayne family.

Her series is a lot newer than a lot of the New 52 comics. Her #9 sold 71,522, but Action Comics #9 sold 88,796, and Superman #9 sold 62,232 back when they came out.

All series' lose sales over time, so she'll drop down eventually. I don't think she's strictly outdoing Superman, but it is kind of surprising how well she's doing. I read the first couple of issues and didn't like it. I hear mixed reviews.

Becoming?

@v_scarlotte_rose: She is starting off real well I think. I hear more good then bad reviews on her. I think superman is started get played out and stale, he cool and all but they're not doing much with him.

@squares: Yeah she was looked at more of just a show and go as the jokers girlfriend. They didn't think nothing more of her beside that. She has really grown as a character and developed.

Well, Harley has always been lovably adorable

@ariesxmasters: I mean that she's been popular for a loooong time.

@amazingwebhead: Yeah looks wise, like every other character lol. She is starting to appeal more as a character.

@squares: I don't think so. Her old comic would have not have sold no where near this much on her best day. I don't think her old comic (the one in 2004) would get anywhere near as much of a push as the new one has. Like I said she is out selling superman and keeping a spot in the top 15 consistently that's saying something.

@ariesxmasters: Good to know?

@superguy1591: i'd like to see an Alfred comic book. It could be cool actually...

@ariesxmasters: In all fairness, and as a fan I hate to admit it, but to outsell Superman in this day and age doesn't seem all that difficult. Another guy stated that as a Batman character, she already has an edge and she's got that whole adorable thing going for her.

Plus, she's got a bit more darkness going for her than Superman, which people love. Harley outselling Superman is a bit surprising, but somewhat understandable.

Think she's going to be in the Suicide Squad movie.

Something is obviously wrong if Saga is only in the 20's.

Sticking to the subject- I like Harley Quinn. She deserves the popularity.

@rustyroy: I don't know. I do know this though all these comic book to movie super hero movie are pretty bad. So I hope a movie like that never comes to be.

@scouterv:At first I couldn't stand Superman then I said "you know what F*ck it, shoot the jay I'm going to give it a try anyway even though I can't stand this guy" Ever since then my feeling have changed toward Superman some I think he is alright. I like Batman more but Superman is not so bad lmao. Like you and that other guy stated though, it also seems like anyone Batman related gets a reputation, just for being related to the Dark knight.

Well Jimmy Olsen in silver age has his own comics series. Now Harley Quinn is the new Jimmy Olsen

Personally, I'm more a Superman fan, and I like the idea of Batman, but I don't like Bruce. It's odd. I love the entire mythos, except for most of the main characters. Not really a fan of Grayson, Bruce, or Joker, yet Tim, Drake, Jason, Cassandra, Barbara, Terry (my preferred Batman,) are all awesome characters to me.

I think part of it is that I've just seen a lot more Batman than I have these other characters in general, and a lot of the aspects of the mythos like the Court of Owls are really cool, and I don't mind that a lot of people like him. He's not a bad character. Just not really my cup of coffee.

@scouterv: Ohh I didn't really like the batman beyond (Terry). I felt like Bruce Wayne was perfect from his dark past to his overall story of how he became batman to begin with. I like a lot of side characters myself though. I though Superman was a little to "Super". I see this guy who almost nothing hurts him and he was just overall I thought just to ridiculous as a character, I was like "Who would make someone like that? Why not just make a Guy called "Unstoppable" and his power is he is god and can do anything, anyway,anyhow." Then after reading his New52 stuff I see they toned him down and nerfed him dramatically. I actually found myself a lot of times saying "Fight back Superman c'mon", and Superman as a person I found he was not as much of a douche as I thought.

Just goes to show that people prefer a one-dimensional, uninteresting Goth-wannabe whore to a complex, tragic and likable anti-villain. This new Harley Quinn is just as bad as Slott's Black Cat and Silk, and that's pretty damn bad.

Why is she popular?

1. She is a Batman-related character.

2. She is a Joker-related character.

3. She is anti-hero (now, actually, more like villainess) – antiheroes and bad boys/girls are fetish of current generation;

4. She is a boldly dressed insane and physically attractive young woman – another current fetish.

Yeah I am personally not a huge fan of the current run, but I have loved the previous works of Palmiotti and Conner, so I am glad to see their success. It's a little too 'Deadpool-y meta,' instead of psychotic. But, I get a new cover from Amanda Conner every month which is always nice.
