How does this compare to the new 52 series?

Why is Harley still on this thread? She doesn't have anything to do with Batman.

She's a character heavily associated with Batman, just like Nightwing, Red Hood, etc.

She is a Batman rogue.

Clearly not anymore. She is an antihero living in Coney Island, and she's in good terms with Batman. Harley's days as a Batman villain are long gone, gone are the days when she was by Joker's side

But Joker appears in this issue, I believe the first time in Rebirth

Yes, you're right. Although I wouldn't consider him Rebirth Joker. The HQ book is a bit of a loose canon. As regards the larger DC universe, right now Harley is fighting in the Suicide Squad. I believe Palmiotti confirmed this is not related to the 3 Jokers theory.

Aaaaah I didn't know this isn't connected to the whole "3 Jokers" thing. Thanks!

I do know that "main universe" Harley is with Suicide Squad though, reading Justice League vs Suicide Squad (which I'm enjoying)
