But he's not repulsed by Harley at any point in time in any canon. (If you can find me an example, I'd love to see it. But even in the novelization, he says he thinks she's pretty, she cleans up well, & when she rubs herself on him, it's a sensation he "doesn't entirely dislike.")
Annoyed by her trying to grab at his junk? Yeah, definitely. Angered, too, for sure.
See here's the thing with Harley, coz she's an entirely different case: he's used to people being terrified of him and run away screaming. That is funny coz he looks like a clown and people aren't supposed to be afraid of clowns, but they sure are afraid of him.
Then along comes this girl who he drives bonkers kinda along the same vein as himself and she's petting him and trying to put her hands down his pants and wants to have babies with him and loves him unconditionally.
I think frankly he's confounded by her --- like: "Wtf is up with this crazy broad??!! She should be terrified of me!" He's the Joker FFS, not some goddamn 'Puddin''. :-P
Miller has written him to be asexual (and yet gives the Joker a transsexual Nazi girlfriend in DKR). He's really the only one I can think of off-hand who writes him asexually.
And I think there was a panel of writers recently who were asked about the Joker's sexuality. IIRC, Paul Dini said: "The Joker has no limits." And that's kinda the way I think about it (of course other ppl think about it differently... so ... yeah.)
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
Why are we writing so much about Mr. J's sex life, idk...
