Harleen Quinzel

Harleen Quinzel is the German-market edition of the iconic DC character Harley Quinn, a former Arkham Asylum psychiatrist who became infatuated with the Joker and reinvented herself as his unpredictable criminal accomplice, first appearing in this Panini Deutschland publication in 1999.

A figure who has fascinated readers since her 1999 debut in Batman & Superman Sonderheft #1, Harleen Quinzel has carved out a distinct presence in Panini Deutschland's German-language Batman catalog across more than two decades of publication. Sharing pages with titans like Batman, Bruce Wayne, Superman, and the Joker — as well as the iconic Harley Quinn — she appears most frequently in Batman and Batman - Detective Comics, placing her squarely within the dark, character-rich world of Gotham's most compelling stories. Her 27-year publishing span, stretching from 1999 all the way to 2026, speaks to a genuine staying power that rewards collectors who dig into the Modern Age's continental editions. If you've been sleeping on the German Panini Batman line, Harleen Quinzel is a compelling reason to take a closer look.
