A special variant cover for the new Absolute Batman #14 comic highlights the updated look of Harley Quinn, a well-known villain from Batman’s world.

Absolute Harley Quinn featured in Absolute Batman #14 variant cover

A variant cover for Absolute Batman #14 features Harley Quinn and highlights a key idea behind the Absolute Universe: these versions of characters are significantly different from the ones readers typically know.

Interestingly, Harley Quinn is different from many superhero characters because she wasn’t created in comic books. She actually made her debut in the popular animated series Batman: The Animated Series, created by Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski.

Arleen Sorkin originally voiced the character of Harley Quinn and continued to play her in many animated projects within the DC Universe. Over time, Harley has become a hugely popular and essential character for DC Comics, showing up in video games, live-action films, and other media.

The redesigned Harley Quinn in the Absolute Universe has short hair and fights with nunchucks. She first appeared in the previous issue of Absolute Batman and is now the leader of the Red Hood gang. This version of Harley is focused on taking down the Joker in her universe.

This story offers a new take on Harley Quinn, who is often portrayed as the Joker’s partner or helper. By leading the Red Hood gang, she could end up working alongside Batman. The series hints that this might also lead to a surprising alliance: Dick Grayson potentially becoming the Joker’s new partner.
