She's kind of the most odd reference out, though, because if Batman only exists on Earth 38, that would mean the Joker exists on Earth 38, so why is Harley on Earth 1? Well i think Earth one has a Joker, but no Batman. Batman is later a thing as shown by him being on Eobard's newspaper. So it is in a way very similar to Gotham. Harley Quinn was mainly a Suicide Squad Easter Egg though, not directly to Batman. But the absence of Joker is interesting. We also have several Joker knockoffs running around in Arrowverse like Trickster, Count Vertigo, and Anarky. Almost like the real Joker inspired them.

Maybe Bruce Wayne exists on Earth 1 but he isn't Batman yet. I just said that Batman isn't Batman yet!

Those so called "knock offs" are actual comic book characters that just decided to create chaos and commit crimes. They weren't inspired by Joker. Harley was as it is part of her history as a character.
