SALT LAKE CITY — Harley Quinn is about to crash Batman's 75th anniversary party.

On Sept. 23, participating stores, schools and libraries all throughout the country will celebrate the two DC Comic book characters by giving away free comic books, donning masks or hosting celebrities for signings.

The event, which is now in its fourth year, originally began to honor Batman's 75th anniversary. This year, Harley Quinn, Batman's nemesis, is taking over, according to DC Comics.

Harley Quinn has risen in popularity after the recent release of the movie "Suicide Squad" and the Batman: Arkham video games series. She also has her own comic book series, DC Comics wrote.

It is Harley Quinn's 25th anniversary after she first appeared on "Batman: The Animated Series" in 1992.
