There ’s a very beneficial intellect thatPrelude to the Weddinghas saved Harley and The Joker ’s story for the very end of the series and not just because they ’re the moody fun - house mirror version of Catwoman and Batman ’s own relationship . The threat of The Joker has been seed throughout the otherPrelude to the Weddingissues . Joker is the reason that The Riddler went after Batgirl , Nightwing ended up in an alternate dimension with Hush and a lot more . For this and everything else he ’s done , Harley has had enough .
The consequence begins with Harley literally range The Joker over and kidnapping him . Harley then proceeds to put her puddin ' in a end trap of literal pud , drowning The Joker in a vat of tapioca . Harley explains her intention is n’t to really take out The Joker and not just because there ’s way The Clown Prince of Crime is going to suffocate by a afters . She simply require The Joker to know what it felt like to be trammel in a relationship with him and to prove to Mistah J that she was much accomplished than he ever made her palpate .
The strangest thing is n’t the death snare itself . It ’s that it all begins to work on . Joker does finally escape Harley ’s vat but not after being consumed by pudding for a bit and admitting to Harley that there was always something brilliant about the system . Harley Quinn has grown a pile in the comedian from New 52 forrader but it ’s been mostly independent of The Joker . The first half of thePrelude to the Weddingissue feels like there ’s really some movement on her perverted family relationship with The Joker . Both fictitious character are acknowledging their past tense and move forwards , then everything goes awry .
Joker reveals that he knew all along that Harley would capture him . He even baffle to her collaborator first and used Joker Gas to bring him under his mind dominance . Joker then completely break away Harley ’s grasp . The whole experimentation , even Harley ’s victories , have all been about proving that The Joker will always be dear and more disposed than Harley . Harley can never take to the woods the shadow of The Joker .
Although The Joker does n’t kill Harley . Instead he permit her go because he hopes that , one 24-hour interval , she will come crawling back to him . In his own very Joker fashion , he still loves Harley . It ’s just communicated in the most abusive ( vaguely repetitive ) way potential .
It could be asking a scrap too much ofPrelude to the Weddingto really move Harley and Joker ’s relationship forward . Joker necessitate to go the encounter and relatively unscathed because Prelude to the wedding party leads straight off intoBatman # 48 where The Joker slaughter an entire church to get Batman ’s attention . It ’s still disappointing that even when Harley come after DC still find a way to knock her down as less than The Joker .
