LOL, is this a reply to my original post? Did you read the follow ups? I actually posted this video quite some time ago for clarification. I don't think anyone is particularly confused about the timeline here. Just the quality of the performance.

Jesus Christ, how do we put this in 'stupid' for you. Here, just watch this and shut your damn mouth and figure it out. She's NOT Joker's Harley Quinn yet!

I agree with you, jsoftcheck, and I was saying/thinking the same thing when I first heard the Interview tapes in the game. I still don't know what possessed them to have Sorkin re-do that conversation the way she did, as the 'Mad Love' version was/still is way better.
On another note, I hope these Interviews (Or something similar) are in the upcoming sequel, as they were a nice bit of fanservice
What kind of self-respecting, functional adults name themselves after Pajamas?
LOL
Losers.

LOL, okay, let's try this one more time.
"Phoned in" is acting slang for "not really trying." It's one thing to sound stable and sane, it's another to sound like a block of emotionless wood.
Go back and listen to those tapes again, then listen to this episode of Batman, the Animated Series and you'll see what I mean:

Most of the dialogue is taken directly from that episode. Yet whereas the original sounded like a flesh and blood person, the Arkham Asylum version makes her sound monotonous and hollow. With both versions to work with, I can't imagine why the director chose to use her more recent recording.

It wasnt a phoned in performance, that was edited to make it sound like its been recorded on a tape recorder for the game. and her voice was more sane sounding and more stable sounding when she was a dr as opposed to when she became harley quinn

Yes, having played the game and watched the original cartoon series I'm aware of the plot. My question was why the quality of her voice acting for the tapes is so uneven compared to the rest of her performance. The developers could simply have reused material from the original cartoon series (those tapes are literally word-for-word from the script). Instead, we get a phoned in performance. ?

Those interviews are her when she was Dr. Harleen Quinzel, not Harley Quinn. That was before she became involved with Joker.
