Notes[]
- In Bianca's first on panel appearance she names herself as Blanca Steeplechase, a misspelling of Bianca.
- Bianca is in a relationship with Harley Quinn, while Bianca is also married to the mayor of Gotham City under her alias. The Joker, a mysterious character with equally strange motives, is not tied down by regular rules and as such the nature of her relationships is open to question.
- This is one of only two villainous Joker incarnations to be female instead of male, the only other being Martha Wayne.
