DC’s Birds of Prey writer Kelly Thompson has discussed Harley Quinn’s role in the new series.Thompson explained in an interview with DC how Harley is still “the oil to the other characters’ water” despite trying her best to behave. “Harley is on her best behavior in Birds of Prey. She’s, of course, still Harley, but she and Dinah have some conversations in the first two issues that make it clear how high the stakes are,” she said. “At the end of the day, Harley’s there because she believes in the mission and wouldn’t do anything to risk that,” Thompson added. The writer insists Harley’s new role as a team player will not change the character’s fun nature, “She’s about being additive here, not destructive. She’ll still find ways to make her own fun though, don’t worry.”Harley Quinn made the team because Thompson was allowed to create her own Birds of Prey roster, “Well, I think the origin is DC Executive Editor Ben Abernathy asking me if I’d like to pitch a Birds of Prey book, and me yelling yes! And when I discovered they were very open and didn’t have a lot of prerequisites, I just began digging into what I would want to write,” she explained. “I felt like, ‘What if I only get one shot at writing for DC?’ So, I shot for the moon. I asked for everyone I wanted, and they just kept saying yes. That almost never happens. So, I just kept going and hoping I wasn’t dreaming it,” she said.RELATED: Birds of Prey Writer Teases Wonder Woman Appearance
