She lives at Wayne Manor with Bruce Wayne, having been invited to live there with Bruces permission.

While living there, she has become close friends with Bruces manservant Alfred, becoming completely unaware of their crime fighting lifestyle.

She is a huge fan of Chandell, although she is unaware of his criminal proclivities.

She has often been threatened or taken hostage by local criminals from Gotham City, such as the Joker and Penguin.

She has met Batman and Robin several times, never realizing their true identities, even once saving the Caped Crusader from a marriage to Marsha, Queen of Diamonds with help from Alfred.

The 1960s were still a time marked by homophobia to a degree.

However, she was actually created for by DC Comics in 1964 in order to create a rationale for Bruce and Dick to maintain the secrecy of their dual identities within Wayne Manor.

But one is, momentarily, the return of Aunt Harriet to the DC after thirty-five years.

Aunt Harriet, first appeared in 1964 in Detective Comics 328 created by Bill Finger and artist Sheldon Moldoff, she was Dick Graysons aunt, and lived in Wayne Manor after Alfred Pennyworths death, and became a regular character on the sixties TV show played by Madge Blake.
