In her notes, she remarks with annoyance on the battery of psychological tests she had to undergo as a result of Harley Quinn's descent into madness, and finds the very notion that she could ever become inappropriately involved with the Joker ridiculous.Unfortunately, no sooner do you handle the latter case, she gets blown up by a rigged safe. Not Quite Saved Enough: She's held hostage twice, first by some of Joker's thugs, then by Zsasz, but Batman saves the day both times.Jerkass: She is extremely cold and intolerant.A well placed Batarang to Zsasz's cranium puts a stop to that.
