Daily Beastars with a chillin' Mizuchi. I like her design if not her personality.

Mizuchi is symmetrical yeah, the others that have showed up are more like domino patterns ( just spots). This is a hot take and I don't mean it as an offence to those that like her, but I legit never liked Harley.
I love the whole sinister, dramatic and enigmatic clown/ jester trope, I love the Harlequin, Pierot and Columbina tropes popularised by the italian renaissance theater, but I just can't bring myself to like Harley. She was created for the animated series and originally nothing but a female version of the Joker and one with none of the charm, craftiness and to top it off she was basically his punching bag, and an extremely disturbing and unsettling toxic relationship.
I know she's since grown waaaaay past that and that she now stands as her own character (still struggling with the Joker's shadow), but I just can't get past her beginnings. I know that folks adore her and that's fine, I'm happy they have a character they enjoy and that has grown. What I don't get is why they liked her in the first place, but to each their own I guess.
Sidenote n.2 : A batman villain I really like is the Penguin. For some reason I really like Cobblepot, I've always liked and looked up to cunning characters (of which Batman has a ton both good and bad), but the Penguin it's like... he doesn't have powers, he doesn't have this perfectly trained body, he's not graceful or with an insane charisma, he didn't start with godlike resources, he's not a prodigy.. and yet he keeps up with everyone and he's prolly the sanest among the batman rogue gallery (as in he doesn't have any derangement or fixation like most). Of course like with everything comic book related (especially with the US model of comics), it depends mightly on who's writing, but overall I like my chubby crime lord.

I didn't say there weren't people like that, in fact that's exactly my problem, there ARE people like that 😂
Heck remember a couple years back, those chicks obsessed with Slenderman or whatever the other creepy pasta serial killer was? Same shit.
Freeze.. (ignoring the glorious representation done by Schwarznegger 😂 ).. I remember a take on him in that there was all that spiel with his wife, but it turned out to be a case of unreliable narrator (him) and it came to light that he was fixated on her instead with an obsessive/stalker mindset. Not saying it's cannon (let's be real, no such thing in DC or Marvel with all the reboots and resets and whatnot), but it was an interesting take on the character. Don't remember where I saw it tho.. might have been on one of the games maybe?
Another villain that did grasped my interest was Hugo Strange, dunno why but I really liked the character design.
