I'm gonna wait for confirmation before I tweet it, but I know several Harley Quinn fans that this will devastate.

[BlackoutCreature]

Damn, what is going on this week?

As I said when Kevin Conroy passed, Batman: The Animated Series is a vital reason for my love of animation to this day. RIP Ms. Quinn.

I seriously can’t take much more of this right now. I’m just… God f***ing dammit…

[The Legend of Groose]

I'm still not over Kevin being gone, now Harley? This has been a tough week for the boards.

[lionheart21]

Thats a serious blow to the childhood

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

This week really needs to f***ing chill man, like seriously what is going on?

Couldn't post anything other than this in honor of her, RIP

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

f***, f*** f***. I’m already going through a lot of my own shit, and piling Terry, Windham and now Arleen on top of this? Son of a f***ing bitch. I’m not mentally up for this right now 😰

[BorneAgain]

Given how close Paul Dini was to Arleen, this has to be really hard for him. Same with Mark Hamill, who's already lost a number of close colleagues/friends in the past few years from both Batman & Star Wars.

[Timeless Hayterade]

F*** this week.

[Celexa Bliss]

FFS enough with this week already! RIP Arleen

Paul Dini and Arleen Sorkin were old college friends and Paul based a lot of Harley's mannerisms and personality, as well as her Jewish background, on Arleen's own. It's not just that Arleen voiced Harley. Without her, Harley Quinn would be an entirely different kind of character, if she even existed at all.

RIP Arleen.

Ah man this is so sad, im not hugely familiar with her other work but she was excellent as harley. Rest in peace maam.

[WoodStoner1]

I know, I know, years and other increments of time are not murderers. But yeah, to this week, calm down!

Everyone will mention Harley of course. I'll be the first to talk about her and Dave Coulier on America's Funniest People too.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Jesus this week is brutal. Wish her family and friends all the best.

[Paul]

This means that both of Dave Couliers co-hosts from "America's Funniest People" (Arleen, and Tawny Kitaen) are both gone now. That's sad. I remember Arleen being really funny on that show.

[Hit Girl]

RIP

Really bummed to hear this. So many people passing away. Gets harder when the person was a part of your childhood.

I know the character is overexposed nowadays and is just a twisted parody of what Harley is now, but the original concept was creative, unique, and brought effortlessly to life by Arleen's mixture of manic and down-to-earth approach. Harley could flatten you with a mallet one minute and give you a big ol' kiss another, Arleen made her feel like a rogue you do not mind befriending and made you feel for her when Joker was treating her badly.

Without the likes of Kevin and Arleen, I truly feel there is no canvas on which you paint a modern portrait of Batman. She was a pioneer in female-driven characters. Like it or not, Harley became the second most important figure in Bat-lore, eclipsing the Joker. That's a fine piece of reel estate to leave behind as your legacy. So thankyou puddin'.
