    I don't see Harley as a hero like Bruce or Clark. She accepts/embraces her flaws and shortcomings unlike the other two. I can see a world where they can balance her dating Ivy.

    Ivy's motives are not as self serving as someone like Selina and she's given a pass so why can't Ivy be.

    It's complicated but it can work.

    It's a shame. I don't Ivy to be an anti hero too. The batverse is losing female baddies right, left and centre. That's not good.

    Let them be gay and do crime.
    I wish DC would let Harley and Ivy actually be a couple for longer than 4 months at a time. But they ALWAYS will look for a reason to break them apart whenever a new writer comes on and it's sickening tbh. Whenever it's two 'primary' heroes that happen to bt LGBT, DC seems super quick to break them up so they don't appear in each other's comics as a couple often. It seems the wrong message. When it's a background character, they seem fine with it. But another hero or someone that's popular enough to have a solo title? Suddenly they are always broken up just as fast as they get together whenever the writer changes.

    Whenever Rucka isn't writing Batwoman and Renee, DC breaks them up.
    Whenever Ivy and Harley get together in the comics, new writer comes on and breaks them up just as soon.

    It's sickening in all honesty.

    How often did Batman and Catwoman be in the opposite ends of the law? But their 'romance' was something DC constantly threw out front and center. Selina was still a 'villain' but would do occasional good things or work with Batman. I don't see why it wouldn't/couldn't be the same with Harley and Ivy but having an actual relationship. A dynamic between them where they are both on opposite ends of the law but in a way still are wild cards to either side just makes sense. And they have NO PROBLEM constantly relaunching characters into those kind of 'forbidden' relationships when it's straight. But Harley and Ivy can't have the same dynamic and are constantly broken up every 2 months? Yeah no.
