I think Jack Nicholson Joker would work fantastic with Harley Quinn as his right hand women.

Would Alicia have worked in the Harley Quinn role?

I know her origin is different to Doctor Harleen Quinzel, but there are a few similarities.

I would've liked it if Harley Quinn appeared in either Batman '89 or The Dark Knight.

I think Alicia had hints of what would become Harley Quinn. Just think, if she had a reaction to having her face scarred with acid that was more akin to Jack/the Joker. But instead, it seemed to make her catatonic and suicidal.

Harlequin has been a DC comics character since the Golden Age appearing in both Green Lantern and Batman comics and maybe others. They has been different versions much like their has been different Clayfaces. Harleen Quinzel was not created yet, true. Technically, they could have used a version of her, or created their own, much like Timm and Dini did.

Well, she was suppose to appear in a movie call Batman Triumphant but thanks to the disaster of Batman and Robin, never happened and she didn't even appear in the The Dark Knight trilogy despite it was a great trilogy.

Shame she 'did' exist? Surely you mean 'didn't'?
