* AdaptationalHeroism: There's [[ComicBook/BatmanLastKnightOnEarth one version]] of me out there that, after spending a decade as a head in a jar in the desert, was more than happy to see Bats for the first time in forever, and opted to be rather chummy with Bats. That version even suggested that Bats make yours truly his new Robin! [[spoiler: And it was genuine - I stood by his side the whole time, and he eventually made me his new Robin by attaching my head to a Robin-themed exosuit! Granted, that Batman was a clone of the original, while the original turned out to be the villain of that story]].

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In [[WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn Harley's show]]. After I lost my memories and turned *shudders* normal, I actually came to love the family I settled down with. Not enough to give up being evil when Harley pushed me back into the chemical vat, but enough that I still wanted to keep living with them. I even gave Harley some advice about her relationship with Poison Ivy.

** In ''ComicBook/SupermanSpeedingBullets'', I used to be ''[[SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor Lexy]]'' before being thrown at the vat of chemicals. Now isn't there already [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn someone like that?]][[note]]'''[[SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor Lexy]]''': Comparing that version of me to some clown with a pumpkin? Laughable. '''Me:''' But Lexy, we both know who's the real joke here, don't we? '''[[SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor Lexy]]''': And stop calling me Lexy![[/note]]

** There was this one ''[[FanFic/ButDoctorIAmPagliacci really]]'' strange day. Gotham was somehow even ''more'' of a hellhole. Harley was still my doc and I was a ''C-Lister '''at best'''''. And worst of all, ''there was no Batman.'' Having nothing better to do (because what am I supposed to do without Bats, in the end?), I put on my Sherlock Holmes cap and started The Case of the Missing Vigilante. And then I found who had dared erase ''my friend'' from history: [[spoiler:'''Lex. Ohh, very bad move, baldy.''']] I can tolerate being made to be a clown! The ol' burg always could use a facelift! I kinda missed Harley's old 'do! But you, oh, you, bucko, you took my straight man! Back off, boys! This creep is mine! Say hello to the Joker Who [[BatterUp Bats]]!

** At the end of ''No Man's Land'', I killed Sarah Essen-Gordon and decided to present myself to good ol' Jimbo to break his spirit for good and force him to help me out in a SuicideByCop. Blindingly furious as he was, he instead shot me in the knee. As I was gasping in pain in the snow in a pool of my own blood, I started crying, holding my mangled leg, and how on Earth I was going to walk again... and then I got the joke! [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke Just like Barbie!]] Good one, commish!
