Full Title : Always Leave ‘Em Laughing

Plot : Harley Quinn, as Harleen Quinzel, her alter-ego, tries to sell Catwoman’s story to television producers, altering it so that Harley Quinn is the central character whose skill makes Catwoman’s career possible. The television people balk at having a thief as the central character and propose making her a reformed thief. Harley recounds Catwoman’s background (largely truthfully). That’s too dark, so they make more changes. They change Catwoman’s age and make Harley Quinn a disabled Korean teenager. Poison Ivy gets a gender and race change; she’s now a black kid with a genius I.Q. Harley’s enraged and says the story was fine the way she told it! The producers disagree, telling her little kids watch anything but older kids need “funny”. So Harley gives them funny – aerosolized Joker venom! On the way out an assistant compliments her as she’s never hear the producers laugh so hard, and Harley just smiles and says her pitch “killed ’em”.
