C'mom Mr J, this ain't no place for a genius like you"
This hand painted cel was inspired by a climactic scene from the Batman: The Animated Series episode, titled "Mad Love", explaining how psychologist Harleen Quinzelle became the Joker's number one hench gal Harley Quinn.
Mad Love was originally a comic book by Bruce Timm & Paul Dini (creators of BTAS) that became one of DC's most successful releases ever!,

This edition has been signed by both Timm & Dini!

This piece will only be availble at the price of £950 until Friday 15th September when it will increase to £1200.

Harley Quinn first appeared in the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Joker's Favor" (episode #22, original airdate: September 11, 1992), where she served as a humorous female sidekick and on-again, off-again girlfriend to the Joker. In her first appearances she was depicted as completely devoted to the Joker, totally oblivious to what a psychopathic monster he truly is; a characterization that has remained more or less consistent throughout her subsequent appearances.

At one point, the Joker was frustrated with Quinn, and kicked her out. She proceeded to steal a Harlequin Diamond in the Gotham Museum to prove her worth to the Joker. The same day in the museum, Poison Ivy was robbing it of plant toxins. The two became quick friends and Ivy took her back to her lair in a toxic waste dump and nursed her back to health. This included injecting Harley with a serum that Ivy had developed, which has given Harley an immunity to all toxins and poisons, as well as boosting her immune system. Harley and Ivy teamed up and conducted a number of successful capers, which came to an end after Harley and the Joker made up. Ivy was not happy with Harley's lingering feelings for the Joker, whom she never liked. However, Ivy remains her usual first point of call when she and The Joker are going through a rough patch. Ivy adopted the role of older sister and teller of harsh truths to Quinn about her helpless infatuation with The Joker. When Ivy demanded during "Harley and Ivy" (their meeting BTAS episode) that Quinn stand up for herself, Quinn said "I'm nobody's doormat — am I?" Ivy replied, "If you had a middle name, it would be 'Welcome'.

The process of Animation is often a collaborative effort. The evidence of this can often be seen in the long credits at the end of most animated shorts and films.

Whilst only the most talented and skilled artisans would be employed by the studios, it is often difficult to attribute the corresponding artist to the exact piece of artwork we offer.

We therefore credit this artwork as being created by a Studio Artist, acknowledging their skill and talent bringing joy to collectors around the world.
