With the many Harley Quinn movies now available to stream, it is clear that the Clown Princess of Crime is one of the most popular comic book characters around, even though she was originally created for one of the best animated TV shows, Batman: The Animated Series. Since Margot Robbie first brought the Joker’s partner in crime and romance into live-action cinema with 2016’s Suicide Squad, she has popped up in more and more new DC movies and new Batman movies. Let’s take a look at them all below!

BONUS: Notable TV Shows With Harley Quinn
The first actor to voice Harley Quinn was the late Arleen Sorkin, who has served as the muse for every one of her successors, including Kaley Cuoco on the Clown Princess of Crime’s self-titled animated series (available exclusively with a Max subscription). Of course, those are not the only Batman TV shows to feature Harley – including the short-lived WB drama, Birds of Prey, featuring Ferris Bueller’s Day Off cast member Mia Sara as her first live-action iteration, and most recently, Amazon Prime’s Batman: Caped Crusader, featuring Jamie Chung as a 1940s-era Dr. Harleen Quinzel.

I have no doubt there will be more upcoming DC movies and new Batman movies featuring Harley Quinn to look forward to. Maybe we’ll see Harley in Matt Reeves’ The Batman universe or in one of many highly anticipated upcoming superhero movies in James Gunn’s DC Universe. Also, is there any hope for the still unmade Gotham City Sirens movie? Only time will tell.
