Harley has always straddled the line between villain and victim. That's been a part of her character since the beginning. Yes, she is fun and bubbly, and perpetually used and abused. She has also been party to the Joker's worst excesses, and has only ever minded when they affect her or the few people she cares about. I can't say that this isn't a valid place for her to go, but it seems to miss the point of the character. It's going to be a lot harder to portray the victim aspect after this. I could maybe get behind that if it was deliberate, but I don't think that it is.
