Supposedly, the creation of Harley Quinn was to still any fears that The Joker might have a bit of a crush on Batman. The fact that he completely ignores the attractive woman throwing herself at him to focus on his obsession with Batsy-poo, and Harley and Poison Ivy's implied Les Yay, actually made the situation more ambiguous. Paul Dini and Bruce Timm later clarified this. Harley was originally created due to a plot which would have involved the Joker attacking a police gathering by Jumping Out of a Cake. The writers thought the network would object to the scene (given the sexual nature of the "girl jumping out of the cake" trope in real life), so they decided to give the Joker a female sidekick who could replace and impersonate the real dancer inside the cake. However, this all ended up moot as the network actually ended up okaying the original idea for the Joker to be the one to hop out.
