Prolific DC Comics scribe Tini Howard currently helms two ongoing series for the publisher’s most popular female protagonists, Harley Quinn and Catwoman. The writer recently discussed taking Harleen and Selina out of their comfort zones in their respective books.In an interview with DC.com, Howard brought readers up to speed on the current state of play in the Harley Quinn and Catwoman series. “Harley Quinn has just been banned from the Multiverse after a year of reality-threatening shenanigans. Having made peace with the Brothers Eye and defending both Gotham City and Warworld (Earth-48), she’s back teaching classes in Gotham City and living with Ivy, who encourages her to embrace what she’s passionate about — costumed criminals,” she said.The Catwoman and Harley Quinn series has featured both protagonists well outside of Gotham City, with Howard explaining why she took the characters out of their comfort zones. “For one, I don’t like to bore our artists or our readers visually. Gotham City is beautiful, and we’ve had fun creating visually distinct locations within the Trixie, the Kitty Kat Room, Gotham Community College, for example, but I like us to all get to stretch,” she intimated. “It’s also just one of those things where you take over a book, and you decide that you want to ‘play the hits,’ as my friend Gerry Duggan would say. Gotta have some Gotham in there, but also what do you want to do as the writer? What are the things that feel like layups that you’ve never seen anyone else do the way you want to do them?” the writer added.
