## Biography

### Early life

Duela was born in Arkham Asylum, fathered by Harvey Dent, and adopted by the Joker, who left Duela and her mother shortly after her birth to be with Harley Quinn, which seeded a long-standing resentment in Duela towards her father.

On her eighth birthday, she went to the Joker's cell to see him, and although he was locked behind a steel door, he knew that she was there and gave something to her: his favorite card. The Joker would continue to take care of Duela, gifting her a book with Gotham's murderers, and indoctrinating her with criminal philosophies, as well as training her in combat, robbery, and the use of grenades. But once he saw that Duela could fend for herself, he stopped paying as much attention to her.

During her time at Arkham, she heard bedtime stories about the Court of Owls. At some point, she escaped the asylum, only to end up in and out of juvenile detention centers for a number of crimes, including petty theft, grand larceny, and assault.

## Behind the scenes

* Duela Dent was created by Bob Rozakis and Irv Novick, and made her DC Comics debut in *Batman Family #6* as Joker's Daughter. In some comics, she is the daughter of the Joker and an unidentified woman, and in others, he adopted her, as is the case in the series. After debuting under the alias Joker's Daughter, she was revealed to actually be the daughter of Harvey Dent and his wife Gilda, until later comics cast doubt on that as well. Duela has claimed to be the daughter of many supervillains over the years, including the Riddler, the Penguin, and even Superman's foe Doomsday, with the implication often being that none of these stories are true.
