Over the years, Harley has become her powerhouse, and Harley has become my therapy.

She was created for the series based on the gorgeous Arleen Sorkin and people fell in love with her. She didn’t have an origin story in the comics. In the beginning, Harley was an abused woman. With “Powerpuff Girls” and all the amazing, very strong feminine DC and Marvel characters I’ve played over the years, Harley is probably the one that most mirrored my life. When I booked Batgirl, there were some great women-empowerment episodes on that series. A lot of those characters started not as the stars of the show. I feel so very lucky that I’ve been able to provide voices for characters that empower girls, and friends of girls and women. It’s a tremendous responsibility and honor. What is it like to go on a journey with some of these characters, including heroines like Harley Quinn and Batgirl? Strong spoke to Variety about how she takes care of her voice and the empowering impact of her work as the voice of superheroes that inspire young viewers.
