Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel, also known as Harley Quinn, is a fictional supervillain character appearing in media published by DC Comics. The character was created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, and first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series in September 1992, voiced by actress Arleen Sorkin. She later appeared in DC Comics' Batman comic books, Harley is usually portrayed as the Joker’s love-interest, sidekick, henchwoman, and an enemy of Joker’s own archenemy Batman. Harley was originally a criminal psychiatrist at the prison Arkham Asylum, where she was seduced by the Joker into becoming his partner-in-crime. For many years, Harley had been abused by the Joker, and eventually left him, becoming an anti-hero. Though being around for nearly 30 years at the time of this writing, Harley Quinn has since become a legendary icon, with publisher Jim Lee considering her the 4th pillar character in DC Comics behind Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Harley Quinn's abilities include expert gymnastic skills, proficiency in weapons and hand-to-hand combat, complete unpredictability, immunity to toxins, and enhanced strength, agility, and durability. Harley often wields clown-themed gag weapons, with an oversized mallet being her signature weapon. The character has a pair of pet hyenas, Bud and Lou, which sometimes serve as her attack dogs. As a trained psychiatrist with a genius level intellect, she is adept at deception and psychological manipulation.

Huggy is a 2025 American psychological horror film directed by Ishana Night Shyamalan and produced by her father M. Night from a screenplay by him and David Fincher based on the Poppy Playtime character Huggy Wuggy and inspired by Mob Entertainment's YouTube video RESTRICTED_disappearance_06-18-1992.mp4. Distributed by Lionsgate and co-financed by Mob Entertainment, it is the first installment in the Huggy Wuggy trilogy and serves as an alternate story for the title character. Dove Cameron stars as Casey Wilson, the film's only main protagonist, an employee for the Playtime Company whose father Howard (Vince Vaughn) is a patient of the medical staff within the company's facility as she must take matters into her own hands when he is eventually forced out of their hands by Elliott Ludwig (Malcolm McDowell) and turned into the blue giant furry slender creature Huggy Wuggy. The supporting cast includes Rachel Weisz, Danny Glover, and Matthew Lillard. Huggy was released in theaters on October 24th, 2025; the film received generally positive reviews from critics, audiences, and fans, with praise for Shyamalan's direction and her father's screenplay, Huggy's characterization, score, VFX, atmosphere, and Cameron's performance. However, critics were divided on the violent approach to the source character and the decision to add an R-rating. It was also a box-office success, grossing $915 million worldwide against a break-even point of $120 million. A sequel is in development.
