"Harley Quinn" Season 1 "The Final Joke": But Harley's Not Laughing… [PREVIEW]
Kaley Cuoco's Harley Quinn has spent the past eleven episodes on The DC Universe streaming service trying to carve out a new life, and her own criminal family. Most important, she wanted to step out of Joker's (Alan Tudyk) abusive shadow. Everything seemed to be heading in the right direction for her – until last week's "Devil's Snare".
Unable to escape his plans of taking over Gotham, Harley watches as Joker destroys the Legion of Doom's HQ. But this isn't the "same old Harley": teaming with Ivy (Lake Bell), the two take down the killer trees and the Queen of Fables (Wanda Sykes). But even in that moment of victory, Joker finds a way to take another valuable part of Harley's life from her.

Speaking of "Harley Quinn" Voice Actor Christopher Meloni…
In an interview with Bleeding Cool, the actor discussed his approach to voice acting and how it differs from live acting before explaining what the Harley Quinn recording experience was like for him – and how it connects back to Meloni's work on 2014's FOX sitcom Surviving Jack:
