My icon has always is tied to a specific DC comic book antihero Harley Quinn. When most people hear the name Harley Quinn they automatically call her “the jokers girlfriend”. That is a slightly accurate title for her, but there is way more to her as character than that specific title. Harley Quinn is also known as Harleen Frances Quinzel. Her story begins in the DC UNIVERSE as a doctor at The Arkham Asylum. She was famous in her field and was one of the only know female doctors to work in The Arkham Asylum. She was a very smart female character before and after becoming her alter ego Harley Quinn.
Consequently, while working in the asylum she was assigned to work with the joker. At first she had no such feelings for joker, until he talked about his father issues. When Harley heard about his past, she felt pity and sorrow for him. As Quinn spent more time with joker she began to develop feelings for him. Quinn finally decided to give up her normal life for a life of

Her attitude towards life is why I admire her as a character. She is a bold character and does not care about what you think about her. I wish I could be just as bold as her wither it be through what I say or wear does not matter. Harley is always positive even when things don’t go her way, and I know that’s something we all struggle with. She is also a very smart woman who uses what she knows to get what she wants in life. It would be so much easier if I could be like her and use my brain to get something I really want. Harley is loyal to the people she cares about like the joker. I want to be more loyal to people I already am loyal but I still need to improve. Harley is my hero, not only by her personality but also what she has gone through. When someone hurts her, she gets back up and continues on strong. I wish that I was just like her except the killing part and her abuse she goes
The Joker has no alter ego. He walks around the way he is with his deformed face full of scars and in some versions, with his bright colored hair and bleached skin, always with that maniac, chilling laughter which always makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. He has no personal agenda to all the brutality he inflicts, no thirst for revenge or materialistic goals made him reach this point. He lives to dismantle the codes the society lives by and all he hopes for is to rip apart the expected codes of morality, so the people can then be free of any faith, any belief of right or wrong. He creates situations for the people of his town
In a remarkable contrast, Harley Quinn was not conceived with so much planning and lofty intentions. Her rise is a recent, completely unprecedented curve ball. She was only meant to be a passing character in Batman: The Animated Series ,a mainstay of 90 's childhood. In a bizarre twist of fate, and the right people knowing each other, Harley Quinn got her origin. The cartoon 's writer, Paul Dini, watched a tape of his college buddy, comedy writer Arleen Sorkin, doing comedy bits in Days of Our Lives as a weird court jester. The character’s personality clicked with what Dini sought for a girl in The Joker 's crew. As Abraham Riesman tells it, “When he saw Sorkin in clown makeup, the pieces fell into place, and he came up with a silly little sidekick. He gave her the comic-book-y name of Harley Quinn [...]”. This odd turn of events even established Sorkin as the long-standing voice actor for the new character.
An event that occurs to her sister making Catwoman (Selina) take up self-defense combat for protection against her abusive boyfriend and criminals on the streets. This helps Catwoman become more than she thought she could be and makes her realize that working on the streets is no life for her. Catwoman is considered a villain, thief and robber but she has a different side than other villains within this universe as she is not a killer or in no means evil but more stuck down on her luck in life. Catwoman is a good archetype within female characters in visual media as she has different approach than other female villains/heros. She may have unrealistic features for female fans to compare to but she is a strong character as she has always been there for herself. She does not need a male's help to get her life back together or as she has managed to get off the streets herself by using her sharp and cunning intelligence, patience and her overpowering female strength to fight her way up from the bottom. She always has a strong presence when in visual media be it games, animations or movies. Taking aside the villain character her personality shows people that no matter how long they are in life they can get themselves out of it if they
The Joker knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman, but has no intention of killing him out of suit, he only wants Gotham to see Batman dead. He is incredibly smart, evil, out of touch with reality, and that's what shapes him into one of the best villains. His orginin is unknown, even his name is unknown, but his intentions aren't. He wants to cause chaos and hurt to everyone he can, whuch for the most part is Gotham city. He is my favorite character because of his battle with Batman and the way he intends to frustrate Batman.
The “femme fatale” was a common theme in the 1940’s it is a female lead who uses sensuality and mystery to seduce and manipulate the male character of the film. No American detective novel written in the thirties would be complete without the figure of the "femme fatale," a French term meaning deadly woman. A femme fatale is an irresistibly beautiful woman who uses her sexuality to seduce men and lure them into dangerous situations to serve her own selfish interests. There is a fair few of these in The Big Sleep, but none of them is quite the dynamo that Vivian turns out to be. I also believe that Carmen Sternwood could be considered a femme fatale as well.
Olivia Galicia English - 4A April 29, 2015 The Legacy of The Black Widow The comic book industry has predominantly featured male characters as the lead in their stories since the creation of the comic book. One may find a few female characters here and there but they may be the sidekick or the female in distress or even the villain.
This is the time my best friend died. It’s sad for me, so please (and I don’t use this word often) don’t talk about it. It’s a little hazy, so this is all I remember.
The Joker, is a purposeless criminal. He will destroy anything, or anyone who gets in his way, just to accomplish his goal, to break Batman's personal rules, to never kill or harm anyone, but to save Gotham City from danger and
The fictional character in which I relate to is Betty Cooper from Riverdale. I relate to her because she has had some traumatic events happen to her, she has anxiety issues and she feels kind of alone at times. Now, Riverdale, it is a show that was completely inspired by the Archie Comics. Riverdale, is the Archie Comics, with some sick twists. Itś enticing and exciting to watch.
There is no character who is really like no other in the world of comic book villains, and that character is the Joker. Which would be hard for a person to actually find a character who is deep and this disturbed in the world of comic book villains? The mind that originated him, Jerry Robinson, must have been a very twisted person, undoubtedly. The Joker represents a theory about existence that part of me believes that all people wish we could embrace in our own way. He is an outrageous character, the stuff he does to other people is the lowest of the lows. The Joker is also a fascinating character, with an interesting world view, which is why he is my favorite villain. He has so many characteristics that make him even more interesting, like his history, his character, and how is he portrayed.
The 2001 comedy film Legally Blonde tells the story of Elle Woods, an upbeat and optimistic sorority girl who, over the course of the movie, transitions from a simple college student with few professional aspirations into a successful law student. Elle initially presents herself as a stereotypical sorority girl: vain, superficial, and self-obsessed. As such, she consistently faces discrimination from her friends, family, and colleagues alike. The film wants the audience to view Elle as a woman who rises up above the stereotype through hard work and intelligence, and who proves herself as a capable individual in a discriminatory society. Because of this, some view Elle as a feminist icon, a person who empowers women to achieve equality to

Another common thing that the Joker does is that he attempts to conceal the true reasons for his actions. In other words, the Joker uses defense mechanisms to distance himself from reality as a means to protect himself from the horrid things he has done (Friedman & Schustack, 2009). He demonstrates the specific defence mechanism of rationalization and he does this by trying to justify murdering Harvey Dent's, a pivotal character to the film's plot, girlfriend. He explains to Dent that her death was not his fault and he does such things (i.e., killing innocent people) to show others how pathetic they are for believing that they have control in their lives “ “ (De La Noy & Nolan,
The Joker’s constant twitching and licking of his lips as possible evidence of an oral fixation and would want to ask the Joker about his relationship with his mother. If we go ahead and believe that the Joker really did have and hate his abusive alcoholic father, then we would explore the conflict between the Joker and his father and as a result, the underdevelopment of a superego. In the second narration of the origins of his scars, the Joker tells Rachel that he once had a wife that was cut up by mobsters and that in an effort to make her feel better, he carves his own face and was devastated when she leaves him. If we believe this version of the story, then his anger from his father
