Added DiffLines:

* SuccessThroughSexAccusation: Harley is accused by gossips of sleeping with her supervisor to get her psychology qualification, (which she may have done in some other continuities), but the story points out that it would be impossible for anybody really unqualified to do that in modern times, due to degrees needing the approval of much more than one person. In fact, she did have sex with her supervisor, but it was because of genuine mutual attraction rather than a quid-pro-quo.

In 2017, artist-writer Creator/StjepanSejic posted a series of "little storytelling practices", fanart/story snippets detailing Harleen Quinzel's fall to the Joker and the creation of ComicBook/HarleyQuinn, their abusive relationship and a possible salvation aided by [[Characters/BatmanPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]]. While the snippets were well received, Šejić always insisted nothing more would come of them since the only place this story could be told well would be DC's [[Creator/DCBlackLabel Black Label]] which was a tier above him. In September 2019, DC's Black Label published the first issue of artist-writer Šejić's ''Harleen''.

Poisonous Friend is no longer a trope


* PoisonousFriend: This starts low-grade with Shondra, Harleen's only friend who has a more cynical outlook. She tries to convince Harleen that to get grants, the first thing to establish is how her research will make her corporate sponsors tons of money. Then there's obviously the Joker, taking the trope up to eleven. The one who doesn't fit here is literal PoisonousPerson Poison Ivy.

* SextraCredit: Played with. The first issue takes the old "Harley slept her way through college" origin and gives it a new twist: The brilliant Harleen had no need to enhance her grades. She slept with her professor simply because she likes older men. Unfortunately, someone saw it and she got the reputation anyway.
