I only read one issue of that; where Ollie captures her and takes her to the "Arrow Cave." But I did like what I saw. I'd be fine with him taking over the book at some point.
This is where you can really see the corporate influence, I think. By rights, most heroes should be a little sympathetic to her; on a few levels she's the victim. But despite that excuse, she's still killed and maimed and committed who knows how many crimes on her own, and her body count rises with almost every issue, sometimes by a staggering amount. But she's raw money and DC wants to be able to stick her in the same book as their big name heroes so we get really ill-conceived crap where, for reasons, people like Diana decide to ignore Harley's past. It pisses me off to, but I suppose I've just accepted the fact that the marketing and merchandising is going to beat out a solid narrative every time.
Well, I know Harley isn't terribly popular here and I know that while Im not a huge fan, I'm still a bigger fan than the average CBR poster. But I think her solo has done a fair job of building on her narrative and keeping her recognizable. She's not the same character she was twenty years ago, but she's still the same deep down; still a happy little psycho who pretends to be much dumber than she is, and laughs with tears in her eyes.
The New52 Suicide Squad stuff was total rubbish. At least the early stuff; I dropped the book after the whole "Harley sticks Joker's rotting face on Deadshot so they can make out" issue. But if you cut that mistake out, you actually end up with a relatively solid (but far from straight) line for her character, where most inconsistencies are easily handwaved by looking at real women who have gone through the kind of abuse Harls has.I don't really see it as being relatively organic, if only because I don't see Post-Crisis Harley and her character development as being the same as New 52 Harley, or New 52 Harley going into the Palmiotti and Conner Harley.
I myself can look at the current Harley (or as current as I am, which is several months out of date now) and see how the Harley we first got from the cartoon could become the Harley we have now in the comics. But then, I've known women who changed far more than that after escaping an abusive relationship so maybe I accept more wiggle room in the characterization than most.
And ultimately, until she stops making money for DC, they have no reason to want to change her so the point is kinda moot anyway.
