We’re writing something that Amanda and I find a lot of fun, and we’re hoping that comes out. All we care about is the reader getting into this and having a good time and wanting to pick up the next three issues. Palmiotti: Us, completely uncensored, I think you wouldn’t be able to print it, right? ( Laughs.) The Black Label, at least, is a little closer to that, it’s a little more freedom to do what we can, but in the end, we’re just trying to capture a great moment with the character and have fun. I guess we’ve always had, you know, crazy violence, we’ve always been we’ve always been a little Tarantino …Ĭonner: She is a little bit of a violent character for the most part. Palmiotti: It’s funny, because - you wouldn’t know it, but on our end, pretty much every issue we wrote, we got a note saying, “can you fix that, you can’t show that, can you put her clothes back on?” so not that much different with the Black Label rating, except for the language. What does the Black Label rating mean for you both? Obviously, it allows you to get away with language that you couldn’t in the main Harley Quinn title, but does it change the way you approached the writing beyond that? Just the timing of everything is kind of perfect as well, obviously with the movie out. And then getting to work with the other characters, the Birds of Prey, was really fun as well. Palmiotti: We wouldn’t take on the job unless we could do what we usually do, which is just have fun with the characters, put Harley in a crazy situation and let her leave a trail of chaos wherever she goes. Jimmy Palmiotti: We thought, especially with the Black Label, they kind of enticed us: “you come back and just do whatever you want, throw the Birds of Prey in there.” We’re like, “OK, we can do that.’ ( Laughs.) I don’t know how obnoxious it is, but we started the book the minute after we ended the last issue two or three years ago.Ĭonner: I mean, it’s possibly six to eight hours after the last issue. What was it like coming back and doing what is essentially the next issue of the series, but ramped up to 11?Īmanda Conner: It’s been a couple of years now, so it was really, really was fun to tackle Harley again. The first issue of Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey is so fun it feels like everything that you two were doing on the regular Harley Quinn title, but more so. The Hollywood Reporter spoke to Conner and Palmiotti about their history with the character, and what to expect from the new series. With the new Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey comic book series, both come back to the world of Harley but with some changes: Not only does the four-part series co-star Harley’s cinematic peers, but it’s a series released under DC’s Black Label rating - for mature readers - and features Conner doing artwork as well as co-writing. Under their control, Harley exploded in popularity, with the two cited as inspirations not only for the DC Universe animated Harley Quinn show, but also the current Birds of Prey movie.
