If you thought Harley Quinn and the Joker had a messed up relationship in Suicide Squad, it just got about Fifty Shades Darker.

The Nerdy Hero YouTube channel posted a mashup video that shows the Clown Prince of Gotham and his princess through a Fifty Shades of Grey lense, using music from the BDSM film to layer over footage from the DC tale.

Many of Harley’s scenes with Joker were cut from Suicide Squad. “If I were to die tomorrow, maybe the studio would roll something out. Rated R or rated X performance in there somewhere,” Jared Leto had teased. Margot Robbie later theorized, “They probably realized that the emotional through-line of the story had to be the mission that we were on.”

Now Harley’s got Joker lookin’ so crazy right now. Meanwhile, we already have the first Fifty Shades Darker teaser trailer. When we get closer to the film’s Valentine’s Day release, creatives will have enough material for another round of spoofs and mashups.
