“Well… I’ll be honest with you about this version of Harley. Over the years, the character has gotten really popular and every time I go to a convention, I see more Harleys than I do Mr. Spocks or Klingons. And now she’s going to be in the Suicide Squad movie, so she’s going to get even more popular. And weirdly since, they’ve been going outside of the class costume of hers. They’ve explored all these different variations on her costuming… Some of them I like, some of them look skanky… Most of them I say “Whoa, that’s not even appealing!”. What I wanted to do in the Gods And Monsters short was to go extreme and nasty with her. It’s not the cute and cuddly Harley from the Batman Animated Series. You wanted skanky Harley? Here you go.”
