Wonder Woman & Harley Quinn: Why the DCEU Stars Make DC's WORST Duo

Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn are two of the biggest stars of the DC Universe, and they just might be DC's most hilariously dysfunctional duo.

Warning: The following article contains spoilers for Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace #1 by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Inaki Miranda, Hi-Fi and Travis Lanham, available now.

The best superhero team-ups are all built around opposites. Superman and Batman work well together even though they have different methods and the same goes for Marvel duos like Spider-Man and Wolverine. By the end of these stories, the two heroes usually realize that they have more in common than not, and they come to mutual respect that leads to a great friendship. However, that old trope doesn't just hold up for Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace #1.

This first issue of Wonder Woman's "Digital First" series sees the classic hero team up with Harley Quinn after an evil real estate tycoon hires four hitmen to kill Harley so he can buy her Coney Island building. Why the rich tycoon doesn't just offer to buy the building outright is a good question, and it's one that Harley wonders herself. Whatever the villain's reasoning, his plans lead to the two DC Extended Universe icons working together to stop him.

As you can imagine, the Amazon from Themyscira and the Cupid of Crime have very different ways of handling the situation. Trained in multiple forms of combat and raised to do what is right, Wonder Woman prefers to do things by the book, and at the behest of her friend Etta Candy, she is also trying to de-escalate every situation with as little violence as possible. Harley Quinn, on the other hand, goes whole-hog with her usual bag of tricks, including a human catapult, a rocket launcher and a serious desire for breakfast foods.

Throughout the story, Wonder Woman enters every scenario with a plan and is ready for whatever may come her way. This, of course, doesn't jive with Harley Quinn's more chaotic style of dealing with the four hitmen. Harley prefers a more disordered approach to solving problems that leaves behind a destroyed police station, a trashed garbage truck, a blown-up jet on a runway and a very apologetic Wonder Woman.

For Harley Quinn, the team-up is a dream come true. She admires Wonder Woman and would be more than happy to change her name to Wonder Girl and become the Amazon's sidekick. However, being willing to play sidekick and actually playing the part of sidekick are two different things. Harley is just too much of a wild card to take her cues from Wonder Woman, and Wonder Woman doesn't have the patience to deal with a teammate who can't stick to a plan and has no problem with killing.

The teaming up of Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn leads to a great adventure full of fun moments, but it isn't one that would work for long. Unlike so many other mismatched heroes, these two are more of a disastrous duo than a dynamic duo, and Wonder Woman knows it. Even if Harley Quinn is more than ready to become Wonder Girl full time, she's just too chaotic for the kind of situations that Wonder Woman finds herself in on a regular basis.

These two iconic characters are like oil and water; they just don't mix. While the DC Universe is full of famous twosomes like batman and Robin or Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn might just be the DCU's most dysfunctional duo. Given their mutual prominence, it's likely only a matter of time before these two will find themselves working together again in the future. Although that adventure will likely be as hilarious as this one, it also seems like it's going to give Wonder Woman a very big headache.

Pricing and availability are subject to change.  Queers, like myself, have begun to question the way some brands decide to show support of the LGBTQIA community when Pride comes around. A lot of brands will merely slap a rainbow on products, and some have yet to update the rainbow flag to represent Black and brown folx. However, the Dolce Vita Pride Collection is a step towards understanding how LGBTQIA people want to be celebrated. The Dolce Vita Pride Collection has partnered in designing each shoe with The Trevor Project, an organization for suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQIA youth. Dolce Vita has already donated $50,000 to the organization but took the work a step further to partner with the brand in the shoe collection as well. I...
