kinda surprised you of all people do not like the new direction , but then again im "new" to DC so im the lone minority to a lot of the changes from N52
@SoA: The new direction that paints her as a skanky, powerless nutjob? She's not the character I fell in love with -- Harley was funny and cute. This new creature is neither.
I like Harley better as a somewhat crazy gangster moll with an on again off again relationship with Joker and Ivy. This new Harley basically a femJoker with skank factor that is forced to do the gov't dirty work.

My thoughts exactly. It's like reading, and looking at a whole different character.
@Joygirl: I really only want her powers back and her backstory with the sirens. Personality wise, I think the new Harley is better because she still retains her humor (not as funny as the old one, but getting there) and she's a lot more independent. It was kind of annoying seeing her pinball between joker and ivy all the time. If anyone's character was assassinated, it was her currently fling Deadshot. When Adam Glass writes Floyd's character he should follow this simple rule, if he goes a full issue without saying "Deadshot's a total d@#k", then he isn't writing him in character.
@dngn4774: But why not just use the old Harley and make her more independent? Look at what I did in Gotham Hearts/Secret Six -- she's away from Joker and not under Ivy's thumb either, but she has her powers and she has her SOUL intact. This new Harley is just a different person, they tried to change so many aspects at once that she is unrecognizable.
She is to the old Harley what H'el is to Bizarro, only with H'el DC realized that it was too different and made him his own character, and with Harley they didn't.

Wish they'da realized that with Power Girl, too...
She don't have to be the "old" Harley Quinn, but bring back the aspects of her that made her so lovable in the first place, because clowns in booty shorts trying desperately to tap their leader ain't sexy and ain't likable.
If I get any more specific I'll just confuse poor DC. :P They'll be like "Make her loveable... so, what, put a heart on her chest? Oh, no, we will ditch the corset and give her a string bikini top! And have her have sex with Deadshot and King Shark at the same time! Everyone will love that!"

Lol true. They'll put hearts over her nipples and have her try to rape Nightwing

Harley Quinn Looks like a rejected suicide girl on her way to see the Insane Clown Posse preform. She just needs to go hide underneath a rock in shame...
