    Harley may be the most famous character to originate from the '90s animated series, but Lock-up is the first to ever make the transition into regular continuity. And Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan did a terrific job bringing him into it. He did a few cameos, but this finally sheds light on the newcomer we already knew. After the rather gruesome "Contagion" crossover, this was a nice return to normal in Batman books. They did a good job keeping the character true to his animated portrayal as someone who thinks he's a hero. This story is one of my favorites from the much missed Dixon/Nolan era.
