Tim Burton could have worked it out probably. I wouldn't mind being proven wrong, but... I doubt we'll see it happen.

And Hudson is too old? What is she, like 25 or something? Harley Quinn is supposed to be a Doctor you know...
Nolan could go the route of showing Harley for what she is, and what was rarely shown in the cartoon except in one episode specifically I can remember, but she's an abused woman. Show that she's been ringed in by his charm, and then abused to teh point of fearing to ever leave him. That could be an interesting character, and her craziness is no worse than some of the other Bat villians. I think she could be worked if you toned down the cartwheeling, etc. Just make her a deranged sidekick who is a bit goofy and totally in love, and in fear, with the Joker. Could be weird and fun. Just don't change her completely into an idiot like they did Bane.
