Mad Love was a single-issue graphic novel written by Paul Dini (writer on Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond) and Bruce Timm (executive producer on The New Batman/Superman Adventures and the co-creator of Batman: The Animated Series). It was set in the continuity of The Batman Animated Series. It won an Eisner Award for "Best Single Story" in 1994. It was later adapted (with minor alterations for pacing) as an episode of the animated series The New Batman Adventures.
Plot summary
The story revolves around the Joker's sidekick Harley Quinn. Once psychologist Dr. Harleen Quinzel, she fell in love with the Joker after spending time with him inside Arkham Asylum. She develops an obsession with him, and turns to crime just to win his love, which eventually she never does.
Turned out of her hideout, Quinn decides that the only way to make the Joker love her is to kill the Batman, which she attempts to do by feeding him to a school of piranhas. She nearly succeeds, but Batman distracts her by laughing at Harley's plan (which creeps her out), and explaining that the Joker's tales about his unhappy childhood were lies and convinces her to call the Joker so that he will know she accomplished her goal (as otherwise, the piranhas would leave no evidence). The Joker, upon arrival, is infuriated that Harley would try to kill Batman herself; Harley explains her plan to him, but the Joker goes into a violent rage (saying, "If you have to explain a joke, there is no joke!") and nearly kills Quinn by pushing her out a window. Renee Montoya saves her. In the meanwhile, Batman has been watching this completely unfazed and confronts the Joker, taunting him, "I have to admit she came a lot closer to killing me than you ever did." Joker attacks him, but after a vicious fight, Batman sends the Joker plunging to his (apparent) death.
Back in Arkham, Quinn realizes that the Joker had merely used her, and renounces him forever. But he finds flowers sent by him with a "get well soon" card (showing he survived the fight with Batman) and soon falls in love with him again.
