Harley was at her coolest when she was the joker's side kick. Some characters are just side kick material, and despite her sex appeal, she worked well to enhance the Joker's character.
I think her greatest outing was the Batman Arkham series, but she's always ruined when they try to make her some kind of independent bad bitch who's totally sorry for her bad actions but never has to face the consequences of them.
There's no real depth to her character because "irreverent psycho clown" is a barrier between her and redemption. That is to say, the moment Harley tried being anything different, it damaged her character.
As far as being pathetic goes, Joker's the same way. The two of them are characters that seem more menacing than they are, but I imagine if they were ever backed into a corner, they'd crumble like the weak pieces of shit they are. Its done to juxtapose Batman and Robin's character where, when they're backed into a corner, you see their true nature of heroism and willing to die for their beliefs.
At least, that's how they should be. Now, the Joker's invincible and capable of torturing even Superman, and BatGOD, the strongest metahuman in DC, falls from the moon to earth like its child's play. These characters are ruined.
