- ↑ In The Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn says that she has "got a road rage in a bank". This could have occurred any time after her escape with Cassandra Cain on February 9, 2020 and the date this line is said, August 15, 2020 (see other references). Quinn's arrest can therefore be approximated to the middle of these two dates, May 13, 2020.
