Margot Robbie Says Harley Quinn Used To Be A Gymnast in SUICIDE SQUAD
It appears that despite the changes in costume, Suicide Squad's version of Harley Quinn will still have some of her character attributes from Batman: The Animated Series. Margot Robbie spoke to Vanity Fair about her character and her relationship with The Joker:
“She loves causing mayhem and destruction. She’s incredibly devoted to the Joker. They have a dysfunctional relationship, but she loves him anyway. She used to be a gymnast — that’s her skill set when fighting.”
While she did mention that Quinn used to be a skilled gymnast, I'm wondering if they'll keep the origin of how Harley and Joker met in the story. It seems weird to pull from a lesser-known fact and leave out that she was formerly a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum. Maybe that's just the studio trying to keep plot points from leaking out.
I'm glad to hear we will see some Joker and Harley interaction in the film and that they are a couple! Part of me was worried that the film would try to introduce them for the first time or something dumb like that. Let's hope my assumption is right!
