Is Harley Quinn the most skilled fighter in the current DC Universe?

Recent events lead us to believe so.

Should she be? If so why? How does this strengthen her character and the two most prominent DC characters in her life (Batman and Joker)? Does this elevate her on equal footing with them?

I really don't get the appeal of her away from Joker or Ivy. To me she only works as a co-lead with them, and sometimes that's to much.

Quick thinking and unpredictability. All that needs to be said.

Most of that fight he is standing still, that is hilariously stupid. Everyone loves to talk about the NTT but seemed to forget that Slade had trouble taking that group head on. He had to constantly be moving and still got hit hard at points.

And she's Lesbian and feminist and a role model.

Agree. Sad thing is she was more tolerable with Joker. I loved those two together.

No. Superman was just throwing shade at Batman. Can we nip this **** in the bud before this turns to a rage boner circlejerk?

Writers tend to hype up her unpredictability a lot which was the Jokers trait. The one thing I give Harley was her acrobatics which did make her nimble but other than that the writing is always in her favor, ALWAYS.

Does she still have super-human strength and reflexes that add to her acrobatics? That was how she was introduced in the DCU, no? (I think I've only ever read one story with her since then)

She wasn't introduced like that, she got that way later. And I don't think if that's still canon post-Flashpoint.

no she is not

Deathstroke at least has some excuse, with his serum and own "prep time" wank.

Harley? She's just a psycho clown girl that Ivy made immune to most poisons. Being "unpredictable" shouldn't matter to the Trinity when they've each dealt with the unpredictable multiple times.
