In the old animation, it actually looked like she was more Stockholm syndrome confused as love and actually might go with Batman over the Joker eventually.
Think there was a comic based on that, White Knight?
Ehhh I dunno about that. That was the era where Catwoman was the front and center love interest, with Ivy making the podium as well.
I vaguely remember some chick reporter as a blatant allegory to Lois Lane, but given that I can't even remember her name I doubt it mattered.
Harley has numerous moments in TAS where she clearly is at least interested in Batman AND Bruce Wayne on at least a basic level.
He doesn't even entertain the idea for a second so she was never in the running, but it also made her come across more as a broken girl with that tiny remnant of a normal one still in her somewhere.
Catwoman/Batman is the main love match but the 4th contender seemed to be Harley after Barbara Gordon and Talia.
Of course this is going of the older animations/ animated films I watched, got no clue nowadays.
Nah, as Kaarous mentioned, even Ivy came up closer than Harley. Harley had some interest in Batman -- or rather, Harley seemed a bit man crazy for anyone she found interesting.
Batman showed interest first and foremost in Catwoman, then Talia, and then Ivy. He treated Barbara more like a surrogate daughter, and Harley like the crazy nympho you keep at arms length.
