Gotham City Sirens #11 – Harley’s Hyenas

    After the long move and my strong distraction with Zenescope’s Grimm Fairy Tales I have finally caught up on my Gotham City Sirens. Yesterday at my local comic book shop I picked up the latest issue of Gotham’s three favorite villainesses. The story starts with Selena running, doing her normal boring whatever then it turnout that everyone is town is missing there dogs. When Selena tells Harley she is saddened and can’t understand why people don’t keep a better eye on their animals. She wrestles with her ‘babies’ and then begs Cat Woman to go out and help her find the culprits and return the dogs to their rightful owners.

    While Selena and Harls are off trying to save some dogs and their pet owners Pamela is creating her own trouble. She has a new job at S.T.A.R. Labs and we all know how well Pam does in the real world. She tries to be the dominant women in the work place and create an image for herself so she can just disappear into the labs botanical area and play with the impressive plants. In her attempt to become Miss. High-and-Mighty she fires a crew of scientists. Of course this must come back to haunt her in the next issue and we will see how and if Ivy will be saved or if she can save herself.

 

    Back on the dog mission Harley makes a terrible discovery about her own care for her ‘babies’ and Selena informs Harley they she must donate her Hyena’s to the local Zoo. Harley can’t do that, they are her babies. It’s goes, Joker has Harley, Harley has Bud and Lou, her Hyena’s that she lovingly calls her ‘babies’. The ‘babies’ were named after Bud Abbot and Lou Costello thanks to the Joker. They are like her trade mark, it’s like telling Cat Woman to be rid her Whip and Isis (her black cat from early comic books and Batman:TAS). I can’t see Cat Woman willingly giving up her Isis, nor Ivy willing to leave her garden behind with all of her babies so how can they ask poor Harls to get ride of her ‘babies’?

I ask you Paul Dini! First you ruin Harley’s history by giving her a two-dimensional family background, by making her part of the girl power squad when she is the most used woman of Gotham, break her and The Joker up and now you want to take away her ‘babies’! You are a monster. I love you as you created my beloved Harley Quinn, made Joker a phenomenal character and all together made a fun and colourful Gotham, but what are you doing to my Harley Quinn?
