#BatmanDay: The strange but true history of Harley Quinn revealed!
Editor’s note: The original version of this story ran in July 2016, as Harley Quinn was about to make her big-screen debut in Suicide Squad. With Saturday designated as the annual Batman Day, and DC celebrating by giving Harley a co-starring role coinciding with her 25th anniversary, we thought it was the perfect time to revisit our first-hand account of the strange origin of one of DC’s strangest characters from the man who dreamed her up. In the early 1990s, Paul Dini was a writer for hire, cranking out scripts for the ground-breaking, noirish Batman: The Animated Series, when inspiration struck.

'Greed is good': Oliver Stone explains origin and relevance of classic 'Wall Street' line 30 years later
Michael Douglas never actually says the line “greed is good” in Wall Street, the seminal stockbroking drama that Oliver Stone deposited in theaters 30 years ago this December. Here’s what Douglas’s slick finance shark, Gordon Gekko, really says as he delivers a speech to a panel of suits: “The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed is — for lack of a better word — is good. Greed works.” Nevertheless, as a mantra, the simplified “greed is good” worked perfectly in summarizing the essence of Stone’s film, the first to document the excess and ethical quandaries that began consuming the industry in the 1980s.

It’s rare that a single minute of film dialogue can tell you everything you need to know about a character’s emotional state, but that’s the case with the above exclusive scene from the new comedy Brad’s Status, premiering Saturday at the Toronto International Film Festival. Brad (Ben Stiller), looking dubious and disheveled, is getting the low-down on a mutual friend’s wedding that he wasn’t invited to from the much tanner, much healthier, and much wealthier Billy Wearslter (Jemaine Clement). Brad, as he puts it, has just been “doing his thing” — but as the clip reveals, is experiencing a crisis in confidence.
