Sad news coming out that Arleen Sorkin, the actress who voiced Harley Quinn on Batman: The Animated Series, has passed away.
Here is Sorkin as Harley Quinn, performing "Amazing Grace" on kazoo, from an episode of the series.
Seems sudden. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
RIP to a beloved voice actress!
Batman: The Animated Series is one of the greatest cartoons of all time. I don't know why Fox cut it short.
I loved Batman TAS.
The original run was 85 episodes. Due to the success of Superman, it received a 3rd season, (The New Batman Adventures) with an additional 24 episodes. So 109 episodes in total.
Most animated shows were lucky to have 65 episodes, the number needed for syndication.
That cartoon series was very well done.
In fact, I bought the complete series on a Black Friday-type sale, this past year.
Nice cartoon clip. From what I could gather they were murdering someone locked in the casket? I would prefer children watched politically incorrect cartoons like Bugs Bunny instead of cartoons where people are murdered.
You obviously didn’t watch the same Bugs Bunny cartoon that I did as a kid.

Yes the one where Bugs wakes up at the end and explains it is an opera.
It was a really meek and wimpy guy who everyone thinks killed Batman. Joker can’t take it, that he didn’t get to be the one who did the deed. Batman saves the wimp from getting killed. Pretty good episode. That entire series was amazing. It definitely treated its audience with dignity and respect.
Maybe it’s just me. I have never tried to kill anybody because they killed someone I wanted to kill. But I am a white bald guy who has gone hunting a couple of times.
RIP.
