Arleen Sorkin, the original voice behind Batman: The Animated Series’ Harley Quinn, died last Saturday. The actress, who was known for her role as Calliope Jones on the long-running soap opera drama Days of Our Lives and her work as a writer on 1990’s Tiny Toon Adventures, was 67.
Sorkin’s influence over the Batman franchise is considerable not only for having voiced Harley Quinn, but directly inspiring the character. According to a 2006 interview with Batman: The Animated Series co-creator Paul Dini, the creation of Harley Quinn dates back to Dini’s desire to write a foil character to The Joker, intended as a single episode role. Upon seeing a performance by Sorkin, who was a college friend of Dini’s, acting as a court jester in a dream sequence on Days of Our Lives, Dini patterned Harley after her mannerisms and invited her to voice the character. After viewing the rough cut of Harley Quinn’s introduction, the series’ producers decided to make her a recurring character.
The popularity of Harley Quinn was so overwhelming that DC Comics officially added her to the canon of Batman in 1993. Since then, Harley Quinn has quickly grown to be one of DC’s most prominent characters, thanks in part to numerous performances by Margot Robbie’s as Harley Quinn across the DC cinematic universe and an animated dark comedy series starring Kaley Cuoco. Sorkin would go on to voice multiple appearances of Harley Quinn across the DC Animated Universe, as well as video games such as 2009’s Batman: Arkham Asylum and 2011’s DC Universe Online.
News of Sorkin’s death elicited a swath of tributes online from past collaborators and admirers, including DC Studios CEO James Gunn, Mark Hamill, Tara Strong, and Rocksteady Games, who worked with Sorkin on Arkham Asylum.

Barbie Is Finally Available To Rent And Buy Digitally On Amazon
Two months and almost $1.4 billion later, it's safe to say the Barbie movie has been a huge success at the box office. Such a big success that not only has it managed to surpass the worldwide box office of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but it is currently the highest-grossing movie of 2023. With actor and writer strikes in full effect and a limited release slate between now and the end of the year, it seems highly unlikely anything is going to come along and dethrone it.

Margot Robbie knew Harley Quinn’s potential, and an amazing new DC comic proves it
Writer Kelly Thompson knew that the most controversial member of her Batman-adjacent Birds of Prey team would be Harley Quinn. That would seem strange to anyone familiar with the movie of the same name, which owes its existence to Harley Quinn actor Margot Robbie. Robbie parlayed her clout as a Suicide Squad breakout into a girl gang film, and as it was DC’s only all-female superhero team, the Birds of Prey was the natural fit.

Can Hyenas loot the extraction shooter genre for all its worth?
There’s a parallel dimension out there where Sega won all of the console wars – a world where the Sega Saturn’s surprise US launch panned out against the PlayStation, where the Dreamcast was able to live up to its potential, and where Sonic (not Mario or Pikachu) was the go-to everyday video game character your grandma knew. That’s the world of Hyenas, Creative Assembly’s off-beat, attitude-filled extraction shooter.
