While Harley Quinn may have some pretty notable romantic relationships with Joker, Poison Ivy and -- most recently -- Booster Gold -- DC's plot summary for Dark Nights: Death Metal Guidebook #1 teases another love interest for the Clown Princess of Crime as she leads an area called the Wasteland. It's unclear at this time just who this love interest might be and if it's someone familiar to readers and Quinn herself.
