BATMAN AND THE QUEEN OF CRIME
New villain is revealed for Lego Batman: The
Videogame – Harley Quinn
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games are pleased to reveal
another villain for Batman to face off against in LEGO® BATMAN™: THE VIDEOGAME.
Queen of crime, psychopathic psychiatrist and the lover of the Joker, Harley
Quinn is a pirouetting, pouting princess of pranks straight out of the Comedia
Dell Arte.
An Arkham Asylum psychiatrist
assigned to treat The Joker; Dr. Harleen Quinzel was instead driven mad by the
Clown Prince of Crime. She helped him escape confinement and became Harley
Quinn, The Joker’s devoted and love struck companion. Nearly as insane as The
Joker himself, Harley Quinn is a violent and unpredictable felon who will do
anything to prove her love and loyalty to her beloved Joker.

And, because The Joker hates Batman,
so does she. Batman respects Harley’s physical abilities as a foe and is wary of
her twisted personality, knowing that he must always expect the unexpected where
she’s concerned. In some ways, Batman feels sorry for Harley, who he sees as yet
another of The Joker’s victims. Yet her above average intelligence, enhanced
strength and stamina, as well as superior acrobatic abilities and wicked sense
of humour, make her an adversary to take seriously.
In the LEGO Batman videogame, Harley
Quinn will be playable and have the ability to walk a tight rope, perform super
jumps and bypass security for all levels with guards in security booths. Harley
Quinn appears in the Fairgrounds Villain level as well as one additional level
yet to be announced… stay tuned Batfans!
