To all the haters out there: read this link, and you'll know how and why Batman and Joker were always meant for each other, and Harley was meant for better things.

So, would everything you just said also apply to real-life abusive relationships?

I doubt you're the ambassador or president of the DC fan club. You can't speak for everyone: only for yourself. And yes they are "your" versions.

The only thing I find irritating are fans constantly whining over not having their favorite version of Harley. All they have to do is stop following the solo series and its spin-offs, and simply read something else. All the whining in the world won't bring back the original Harley.

Then simply read something else.
