Well I can't speak for other boards BUT I for one have become very fond of the Deadshot/Harley character pairing. He's stone-cold crazy and she's absolutely bonkers. I thought they played very well off each other in Assault on Arkham.
Another thing I found interesting in Arkham and I find it happens to Harley a lot, she's often underestimated even by those who know how absolutely bat-crazy she is. During the Joker/Deadshot fight, Lawton wen't after the Joker and ran right past Harley, leaving her completely free. Batman didn't even hesitate to grab Harley and swing her to safety with him when the Helicopter was about to crash.
I hope we see more of Deadshot and Harley in the animated movies and in the comics.
Harley sleeps with Deadshot in Suicide Squad so their hook-up in Assault on Arkham wasn't the first time she and him got together... I don't know why people would be so upset unless they just assumed this is the first time they got together or they just don't like Harley and Floyd together? I've always liked them together so far and I think, as others have said, they play well off each other. And you're right, Harley's definitely not shy about sleeping around, which they've made quite clear in a number of stories about her origin and it's stated explicitly in Mad Love that she slept her way through school and that was how she made it to Arkham.
I actually wasn't aware that anyone thought of Harley as someone who needed protection since I think she's proven herself pretty capable of defending herself with her giant mallet, acrobatics and any kind of gun (not to mention explosives). I actually thought it was always kind of the exactly opposite, that Harley was so absolutely bonkers that everyone knew she was dangerous.

^ Now THAT would make an awesome art print/poster. I'd hang that baby up in a heart-beat
I saw DC post it on their Instagram account, but I was confused... is this just to promote New Suicide Squad #4 or is this supposed to be the actual cover for #4? Either way, it's bad-ass.

He could have just taken her mallet. I think batman has a soft spot for Harley. Whenever they fight in the arkham series he typically just let's her take herself out. No arm breaking or brutal takedowns on harley
Ugh that suicide squad cover is a mess dc should really just decide what colors they want Harleys hair to be.

^ Really love those bombshell variant covers. Hadn't seen that one before. Is it coming out soon?
My favorite part of New Suicide Squad #3 was Harley reassuring Black Manta that she's just helping JD because after all, she's a psychiatrist.

So, wait a min, there were people out there who DIDN'T like Harley in assault on arkham?! I honestly think AoA is the best dc animated feature to date (the previous being mask of the phantasm, classic). But deadshot wasn't all that great imo, he did fit the leader role, but his look was pretty cheezy.
I think the main complaint with Harley in Assault on Arkham was how sexed up she was,she had her cute and funny moments but not as much. Also She had sex with deadshot and should have stuck with him not go running back to the joker and his weird obsession with her skin.
I liked the new HARLEY Quinn that came out today. never thought I'd see superhero comic with two people going shopping and talking the whole time.
