I recall feeling bad for Harley a lot. I don't recall sympathizing with Joker ever, but I do remember rooting for Harley and thinking Joker was a bad guy for how he treated her. This is all fuzzy thirty year old memories, but I remember Joker being genuinely cruel and mean, while Harley was mostly goofy and having fun. Joker was a sadist, Harley just didn't care about breaking the law and occaisionally hurting some people in a stylized cartoon way.
I really like how Harley's character has been developed, though I do miss the old clown suit. I'm sick of the grim dark batman and I'd really like to seem something more whimsical and goofy like the Adam Westbatman, Brave and the Bold animated series, or even just Tim Burton's dark gothic tragicomedy. Just lighten the mood and have some fun with the characters for once. Robbie's Harley Quinn has been a nice break from teh grimderp batman stuf of the last decade and change.
