Batman Adventures #3 August 2003
Much has been made about the relationship between Harley and Ivy, and the newer cartoon series seemed to deflect some of that subtext; Harley and Ivy are clearly presented as just partners in crime during the Batgirl and Supergirl team-up. In the comics, Ty Templeton again forged a stronger relationship, complete with subtext, between the two, and now Dan Slott feeds that subtext with the backup Batman Adventures short.Mr. Slott relates a story that finalizes the revelation of Ivy's transformation from the previous issue and finds a practical means to bring Harley and Ivy back together. A nod to the astonishing episode "Home & Gardens" can be found in the way the affliction takes Ivy, and the science wielded by Mr. Slott is also good.
