BTW, what I do seem to remember of her was that she was the Joker‘s •daughter•. Am I just imagining that timeline?
No, just a different character. "Joker's Daughter" (actually Duela Dent, Two-Face's daughter) was an 80s character, IIRC, who I don't *think* has appeared much in recent decades. (But like I said, I haven't been paying much attention.)
Harley originated in the Batman animated series as Joker's lover and sidekick, and was a runaway hit, so she has since become a major character in the comics. She's the headliner of the recent _Birds of Prey_ movie, after basically being the only interesting part of the _Suicide Squad_ one, which gives you an idea of how important she is. She broke up with the Joker and went her own way a while ago, and is now arguably a much more important character in DC than he is -- she tends to have a book of her own at any given time.
