I never got it's popularity, besides being two hot women. It feels like a major step back for Poison Ivy, who loses a lot of her character's individuality as well as backtracks on a lot of the writing she originally was brought up on(her love for Bats was a major plot point in comics, for various reasons). It only seems to really benefit Harley character and story wise, and doesn't seem like it's absolutely necessary or needed. Hell, Harley has much better opportunities beyond just Joker, which seems to be what most people are trying to get her to move on from. Idk, not a fan of it. Pair Ivy with Swamp Thing and Harley with Red Hood or something, would probably be better than Ivy and Harley. --- "And no I'm not signing your twitter after this type of attitude so don't ask..." - IIINCORRUPTIBLE ...

They're also basically entirely different characters from the Ivy and Harley you describe, but hey, these new characters have worked well. It's not like the old ones are dead, character representation has been cycling for decades now. You'll get classic pinup Ivy back sooner or later. --- evening main 2.4356848e+91 https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU ... Copied to Clipboard!

spikethedevil posted... her love for Bats was a major plot point in comics, for various reasons Ivy's original comics involved her being into Batman specifically because he is...well, Batman, and she was into him. From her very first appearance. Her whole point as a character was creating love potions to try and make him fall for her. However, in her Origins book, it was revealed she had grown a bit obsessed with him. See, Batman is the only person she was unable to control with her pheromones. Over the years, Ivy's shown that she considers Batman to love her(in a 97 book, he takes a bullet for her, she sees this as undying love), and that she loves Batman. Apparently in Batman Annual #3(I did not know this) from '95, he admits he finds her more appealing than Catwoman. That's a weird one but okay. And pulling this one off Wikipedia because again, I didn't know this one: In Detective Comics (vol. 2) #14 (January 2013), Ivy kisses Batman, trying to gain control over him via her toxins, and saying, You're the only one for me Batman, you know that right? Nobody else even comes close. Not anybody. Ivy's always been entagled with Bats, Harley and Ivy is relatively knew in comparison. Edit: do note, I'm not blaming anyone for not knowing this. 70+ years of comics and it's fair to not know these things lol. Guide posted...

It's not like the old ones are dead, character representation has been cycling for decades now. You'll get classic pinup Ivy back sooner or later. The hell are you talking about exactly? I'm talking about the general incarnations of them that are present New-52 and in various media. They're the same as I describe.

There was no real romantic implications that I could see in that episode. In fact, BTAS had more hints at Bats and Harley than Harley and Ivy, funny enough. It was their first official team-up though! Which is definitely noteworthy, but not every team-up is destined to be romantic. Otherwise we'd have Cable x Deadpool or Spidey x Wolverine by now lol. --- "And no I'm not signing your twitter after this type of attitude so don't ask..." - IIINCORRUPTIBLE ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why tf are you being so aggressive with this conversation? I had no goal posts, I'm just clarifying a simple statement(use of telatively) and clarifying that I meant pairing as...you know, romantic pairing. If we're talking team-ups, that's a different story. But this topic is about romance, so the implication really didn't need to be said. --- "And no I'm not signing your twitter after this type of attitude so don't ask..." - IIINCORRUPTIBLE ...

The Harley Quinn cartoon does at least deal with one of your complaints. It's shown that Ivy used to be lonely, miserable, and completely misanthropic. Her friendship with Harley made her realize that there are some humans who have value and made her far more well adjusted. --- http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

I think people like the dynamic of a lesbian couple where one is serious and uptight and has more of harshness to them, and the other is girly, and flirty, and playful, and a little crazy. I'm not sure if it's just something dudes like, or if actual gay/lesbian people like the idea dyanmic, but I do think it's like a known trope. And Harley/Ivy is like an iconic example of that. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

I just think it's a bad pairing as presented within the confines of what their characters were established as, I guess. It doesn't add to their current characters, nor does it provide benefits beyond what they already had. In different mediums, with different characters built in different ways, I'm sure it's absolutely great. But for what we have now, it's not great. --- "And no I'm not signing your twitter after this type of attitude so don't ask..." - IIINCORRUPTIBLE ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm the wrong guy to play that card on meladieo. I'm one of the biggest LGBT supporters on the site and my Commander Shepard is gayer than a happy rainbow trout in a river of chocolate. No one cares that Batwoman likes girls. But it would be weird if the next Marvel movie opens with Thor and Star-Lord having sex because they live toghether now. I just think it's a shame when writers are too scared to have same sex friends who love each other without making them romance interests. Harely and Ivy were fun friends. They both had seperate romance stories going on in the background and supported each other. Making them gay later because "since they live together and are close they have to fuck" just felt like lazy fanservice and weakening them as characters Scrubs understood this and it's why JD and Turk have such great chemistry --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png ...
