Sylvester Stallone has had one hell of a career, from starting his entertainment career with a soft-core erotic film to introducing iconic characters like #Rocky Balboa and #Rambo.

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.
