Harley Quinn, Joker Making Appearance in Lego Batman

Remember the Lego Batman game that was in development? TT Games sent out word that it will feature Harley Quinn, psychopathic lover of The Joker and one of Batman’s arch nemeses, as one of the major villains in the game. Here’s a small profile:

An Arkham Asylum psychiatrist assigned to treat The Joker; Dr. Harleen Quinzel was instead driven mad by the Clown Prince of Crime. She helped him escape confinement and became Harley Quinn, The Joker’s devoted and love struck companion. Nearly as insane as The Joker himself, Harley Quinn is a violent and unpredictable felon who will do anything to prove her love and loyalty to her beloved Joker.

And, because The Joker hates Batman, so does she. Batman respects Harley’s physical abilities as a foe and is wary of her twisted personality, knowing that he must always expect the unexpected where she’s concerned. In some ways, Batman feels sorry for Harley, who he sees as yet another of The Joker’s victims. Yet her above average intelligence, enhanced strength and stamina, as well as superior acrobatic abilities and wicked sense of humour, make her an adversary to take seriously.

Harley Quinn will be completely playable in the game, having the ability to walk on a tight rope, perform super jumps and bypass security for all levels with guards in security booths. She will first appear in the Fairgrounds Villain level, as well as one additional level, details of which are unknown yet.
