Harley Quinn #25 Rewrite
Let me start off by saying that she will still leave the Joker in this one. So to the people who actually liked it, put down your pitchforks put your torches out. I’m just going to do this the correct way. Doing what Palmiotti and Conner failed to do: write them IN CHARACTER and create actual character development for Harley.
I don’t disagree that she would be better off away from the Joker, but I’m not going about it in the pandering way just to please all those Harley/Ivy shippers who are also aggressively anti-Joker/Harley. I’m gonna do it right. So brace yourselves, because I’m about to separate Harley from the Joker in a way that’s actually plausible.
NBC’s Powerless, a sitcom pilot based on DC Comics, has recently cast four of it’s leading roles.
As revealed through Variety, Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical, Grease Live), Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Wreck-It Ralph), Danny Pudi (Community), and Christina Kirk (A to Z) have joined the pilot, which has to potential if picked up to become DC’s first comedy series. Roles are listed as;
- Vanessa Hudgens as Emily Locke, an insurance claims adjuster who loves her job because she gets to help people. The character likes to fly under the radar and just get her work done, and she finds herself increasingly exasperated by the disruptive antics of the various superheroes that proliferate in her city.
- Danny Pudi as Teddy, best friend to Emily at work and her trusted confidante. He spends his days creating time-wasting pranks as a way to make their office, the “least super place on earth,” just a little less “unsuper”.
- Alan Tudyk as Del, Emily’s new boss in the claims department. Del has just been promoted, not through any merit of his own, but because he’s the owner’s son. A self-proclaimed “rich, over-educated globetrotting wastrel,” Del is a power-mad disastrous dictator of a boss.
- Christina Kirk as Jackie. A fan of superheroes, she has plastered her office cubicle with beefcake shots of super guys. The new claims department boss Del makes her his personal assistant, and she begins buckling under his unreasonable and impossible demands.
For those not in the know, Powerless is a half-hour comedy series focusing on the normal men and women working at “one of the worst insurance companies in America” who also happen to live in the DC Universe surrounded by superheroes and villains. The pilot is written/executive produced by Ben Queen and directed by Michael Patrick Jann.
Tag yourself, I’m Jackie
