7 Actors Who Left Their Hit Shows For The Best And Worst Reasons
Television actors are a fickle group of stars — and I'm not saying that they are difficult, or that their loyalties shift over time, or anything like that.

There is a lot of division among fans when it comes to the upcoming portrayal of Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad.

Regardless of your opinion on what you think about Margot Robbie or her upcoming portrayal of the clown princess, it's coming and it's going to be a spectacle. With her upcoming first live-action appearance I thought it would be useful to take a look at Harley Quinn's evolving story within the whole of DC Comics and Animation.

Back in the mid '90s, gaming was going through a growth spurt, if you will, as we were slowly being introduced into what was deemed 'the next generation' of gaming. At the time, we probably thought that there was no way it could get any better than our Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and even the NeoGeo consoles (We were so wrong, but that's for a different article).
