Something New For Harley Quinn Cosplayers in Batman #96 (Spoilers)

When we last saw Harley Quinn in the Batman comic books, it wasn't pretty. Going up against Punchline in Batman #93 and finding herself wanting, having her throat cut by the Joker's new girlfriend.

And her response isn't one of standing up, shrugging it off, and returning to the fray.

So what happened in the preceding three issues? Well, somehow, Harley Quinn managed to get it together, keep her throat together, breathe through the blood and make a stab at surviving, even if it meant a little impromptu DIY – or persuading someone else to do the wetwork.

A large neck scar. I'm sure it's the kind of think Harley could cover up, but will she want to? Will she prefer to wear the scar proudly? And is this the kind of aspect that will get picked up by the thousands of Harley Quinn cosplayers out there?

And will she ever be able to say Punchline's name? Even now that her vocal cords are back under her control? And who was it who patched Harley Quinn together – and do they have an easily accessible sewer system franchise operation for folk like her who get dropped in the drink?
