Obsessed with her "Puddin'", Harleen conspired to break him out of prison and became his devoted lover and loyal sidekick, and would become almost as deadly as her boyfriend to the Dark Knight and Gotham City.

Over the years, she participated in the Clown Prince of Crime's various schemes for destruction with her only motive being the approval and love of Joker, though the villain rarely ever reciprocated her feelings in the slightest.

After Joker's untimely demise, Quinn took complete control over and became the new leader of his gang in her own plans and quests for vengeance against Batman and all of Gotham in honor of Joker.
