DC Introduces Joker's Daughter

Who is She and What Does She Have in Store for Gotham?



"Something evil lurks under Gotham City and it wears the Joker's face." That was the singular phrase associated with this rendering of what Bob Harras over at DC Comics' blog referred to as Joker's daughter followed by a question mark. A very curious development indeed in the new landscape of the New 52 at DC. A cheap ploy? Another casting gimmick? Who is she? Harper Row? So many question marks in the latest attempt by the desperate folks at DC Comics to spark sales. Well, I am intrigued if not a little confused.

Duella Dent, Harvey Dent's daughter, was the original "Joker's Daughter" and later revealed to be from Earth 3. So we are left to speculate who this one is suppose to be. It would make sense that it would be Harper Row just by the fact that she's navigated the sewers of Gotham and probably found Joker's face after his fight with Batman. But that leads to more questions about her motivation to be attached to that criminal because she's been so  involved in helping Batman. So it would make no sense for it to be her. I suppose we'll get our answer soon enough.
