In the previous footage from the DC Universe's animated
Harley Quinn series, the character has sported a look more reminiscent of what Margot Robbie wore in David Ayer's
Suicide Squad film, so the fact that Harley's in her Jester outfit in the image below is a huge clue that we're looking at a flashback.
If the adult comedy follows comic book lore, the Joker will likely be depicted as a mental and physical abuser. Just how dark and "adult" the animated series will get remains to be seen, but if you look closely at Cuoco's script, it appears the show will be dropping F-bombs.
Alan Tudyk has previously been confirmed to voice the Joker, with Diedrich Bader portraying Bruce Wayne / Batman.
The animated
Harley Quinn series is set to premiere in late-October.
Harley Quinn follows Harley’s adventures after she breaks up with the Joker and strikes out on her own in this new adult animated comedy. With the help of Poison Ivy and a ragtag crew of DC castoffs, Harley tries to earn a seat at the biggest table in villainy: the Legion of the Doom.
