The Bride of Bizarro


Harley Quinn #18
May 2002
The book opens with Jimmy Olson making the discovery that Holly Chance is really Harley Quinn, and as he attempts to escape from her apartment, we see that in classic Jimmy Olson fashion all he manages to do is unearth every single super-villain that is in the place. After Jimmy passed out from sheer fright, we see Harley decides that now would be a pretty good time to visit Lexcorp, as not only is it host to a ton of technological marvels that she could put to good use, but there's also a Bizarrotron device that could be used to make Bizarro the bride that he longs for. As Harley & Bizarro drag Jimmy along to Lexcorp we see Bizarro's eagerness to make his bride allows Jimmy to slip away. We then see Harley has hooked up with a willing scientist who will operate the Bizarrotron, but Harley ends up being the only choice on hand for the machine to duplicate. Meanwhile, Jimmy has been busy building a device that sends out a distress signal for Superman, and the issue ends with the Man of Steel speeding to the scene.
