https://www.superherohype.com/news/545532-arleen-sorkin-passes-away-harley-quinn The original voice of Harley Quinn and a big part of the reason why Harley Quinn is one of the most popular DC characters today. For DCUO fans she voiced Harley Quinn in the early game (including her PVE/PVP Legends variant characters), before being recast in 2016. RIP
I was hoping it wasn't true. First it was fanpages that posted about it, then finally Mark Hamil & News websites started to announce it.
I think Arleen Sorkin's last voice appearance as Harley Quinn in DCUO was The Bombshell Paradox raid (don't quote me on this, the devs might have secret voice recordings we don't know about as with Batman). This was released in the second half of 2015 during the monthly content phase. Harley's Heist duo onwards was a new VA/VAs.
I initially held off on posting about it, then I saw Tara Strong's tribute (who is also a regular VA for Harley Quinn) and it seemed more legit.
They Lived Fulfilling Lives... It's gonna be a dark day... May they find peace in the afterlife. They were the best there is at what they did for their community. Should DCUO, create a memorial in game, like a pillar, a graveyard, something, I would be there every day to give thanks and gratitude for their hard work. I would ask for nothing more than a stone with text. everything else in game is fine, but forgetting the dead is a grave crime against those who built what we have now. it is the duty of those who come after to uphold the responsibility of keeping their memory alive. Mr. Conroy and Mrs. Sorkin must be remembered, including those before and after. everyone who died for DCU. (Including those who were involved in the crossover between Marvel and DCU) this would be a strong step towards the future. I want to see the names of all who made the DCU possible. that is all. nothing else matters.
There is no other voice for Harley to me… she’s it and the first thing I think of when I think of Harley. RIP
I remember Arleen Sorkin from the 'Days Of Our Lives' soap opera; my mother loved that show! I was floored when I found out she was voicing Harley Quinn; it seemed so natural for her, though. RIP
This game we all love to play was not only her final time voicing Harley, but ultimately her final acting role. I loved her Harley. There will never be another Harley like her. RIP
