I was not aware of this character, and we know mister “there are no good female villains” didn’t know about her, but Sasha has a point. If you’re going to do an homage to the Golden Age, why not look for Golden Age characters instead of surface level aesthetics? I mean besides that being the kind of shallowness we’ve come to expect from modern Hollywood? Batman: The Brave & The Bold went looking for things to use in their Silver Age homage despite setting the show in present day (like with who was Blue Beetle at the time). Bruce Timm really didn’t know what he was doing with this show.
I don’t know about Golden Age Harley, but the proto-Royal Flush Gang (Joker was even involved in their first appearance outside comics, in Super Powers Team) does make a bit more sense. Queenie isn’t the loyal sycophant stooge. Batman ’66 probably had a few proto-Harleys because they were molls who were just there to help the Joker, not ally with him as a fellow criminal.
