Ah yes, everyone's favorite adorable, demented clown-girl, Harley Quinn. I've had an affection for the character for some time, as I was a fan of Batman the Animated Series in my childhood, and she was a very memorable aspect of it. We have seen some revamped versions of her recently in the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games, but what some readers here may not realize is that Harley was actually supposed to make it to the big screen at one time. When Joel Schumacher was making the ever atrocious Batman and Robin, Warner Bros. assumed the film would be a success and had already ordered the script for yet another sequel to be titled Batman Triumphant that would have featured Harley, Man-Bat, and Scarecrow as the villains. Rumor has it Harley would have been the Joker's daughter, rather than his girlfriend, in the script, and that Madonna had actually expressed interest in the part. Batman and Robin, of course, was a box office disaster and the plans for the sequel were called off, along with them Harley's shot at the big time.
Still, it would have been fun. And it would be especially unique to see how Harley would fit into the new film-reality that Chris Nolan has created with his film. And especially, just who would fit right playing the role of Harley today? Personally my vote would have to go to, of all people, Lady GaGa. While she's not an actress she has expressed interest in trying her hand at it, and she is certainly weird enough to viably play Harley. And while she is shorter than the character has always been portrayed as, I actually think making Harley a shorter, more hyper kind of character would work in Nolan's vision of Gotham City. And lets be honest, we've already seen her manage to make stranger outfits look good.
Anyone else got a suggestion?

If she were younger I'd say Mickie James, given we know she can do psycho.

Hmm, I could see Lady GaGa working for sure. The voice would be an odd way to hear Harley, but I could see it working and working well.

Kristen Bell or Alison Haislip. I used to think Bell, but that woman distracts me enough, dress her as Harley and my brain will cease to function. |

Gillian Jacobs or Allison Brie (if she dyes her hair) Allsion wouldn't have to, if they follow DCNU as new Harley has black hair. But both woulld rock as Harley (Allison moreso as she seems more quirky) |

Yeah I am still with ya, because those look pretty horrid and not the sexified version I think would happen. More like Arkham Asylum is what I am thinking.

Not a bad image of what Harley would look like in Nolan's Gotham, though I think the makeup around her eyes should be smeared more like she was crying. |

As Nolan/Bale batman is ending after DKR, I hope they go back to the Burtonesque fantastical Batman so we can have the more unrealistic villains.
But written better obviously

If she were still alive, Brittany Murphy.
And good call to the one who said Gillian Jacobs.
