John Constantine or Harley Quinn; which character is better?
Trivia about John Constantine and his many incarnations:
- Alan Moore, the creator of John Constantine, claims to have met John Constantine in real life twice; during one supposed encounter, "Constantine" went up to Moore and whispered, "I'll tell you the ultimate secret of magic. Any cunt can do it."
- Constantine perhaps holds the record for having the least faithful film adaptation of his character ever in the form of an eponymous film starring Keanu Reeves as Constantine, a raven-haired, American, stoic, demon-hunting Catholic priest.
- John Constantine was supposed to be one of the main characters in an unmade, non-canon DC crossover event called "Twilight of the Superheroes" by Alan Moore; the idea of Constantine being a central figure in a non-canon crossover event set in a dystopian, superhero-ruled alternate universe would be revisited in the comic book prequel to "Injustice: Gods Among Us".
Trivia about Harley Quinn and her many incarnations:
- There has been a long-standing debate regarding Harley Quinn's relationship with fellow Batman villain Poison Ivy, with their relationship having very oblique lesbian overtones even in "Batman: The Animated Series"; in modern comics, it is often more or less confirmed that the two had a lesbian relationship.
- In the New 52 comic book miniseries called "Harley Quinn's Little Black Book", Harley revealed to Wonder Woman that she had been a lifelong fan of her even though Wonder Woman canonically only first appeared in Man's World around five years before the miniseries would've taken place.
- In the comics, Harley Quinn may appear to have no superpowers like a majority of Batman's enemies, but she was actually given immunity to toxins after she had prolonged contact with Poison Ivy.
