I can't help wondering whether Ivy poisoned all the other guests too so they'd show up for Harley's party. Batman's rogues' gallery isn't usually known for being buddies with each other. At most some or all of them may cooperate on a particular job.

Who's the blonde woman in the bunny costume?

I don't think that would be necessary. IIRC Harley is much liked among the other Arkham rogues. It was probably only Joker who needed "convincing."

Also how badass ia Ivy here?

Ivy: Okay, I love Harley, but I know there's always a chance she's gonna go back to that shithead, and I'm getting fucking tired of him abusing her, so I think its time I step in and put him in his place. Now Harley will never forgive me if I straight up kill his dumb ass, but I can at least make it so he behaves himself some of the time.

Riddler: Um, don't want to be that guy, but isn't Joker immune to poisons.

Ivy: Oh right, hadn't thought of that. Man, its too bad I'm not the worlds foremost expert on rare poisonous plants ant toxicology or anything, OH WAIT I TOTALLY AM, SO WE'RE FUCKING DOING THIS. AND IF YOU OR ANY OF THE OTHERS TELL HARLEY THAT I DID THIS I WILL MAKE SURE YOU ARE CRAPPING YOUR OWN COLON OUT FROM HERE TILL DOOMSDAY.

plus, if we treat this as one of those stories that isn't canon with anything but consider's canon as a whole, then she IS kinda work friends with Killer Croc and Captain Boomerang.

If it helps, AFAIK Joker is only immune to his own Joker toxin (and in one alternate reailty, Red Skull's "Dust of Death" too), it's only Ivy who has absolute immunity to all poisons and toxins.

[crinos]

I think in that comic they explained that the Dust of Death and Joker Venom were close enough (since they are both lethal toxins that also disfigure the victim) that both would be immune to it.

Who's the blonde woman in the bunny costume?

March Harriet, a relatively recent addition to Gotham's criminal scene.

[lego_joker]

And a beneficiary of a Lego Batman Movie bump, as well!

(I have to imagine that's at least 50% of the reason she's here; I doubt even Dini would've put in a literal one-issue-wonder otherwise.)

[kamino_neko]

Of course you'd remember that. >_>

[tripodeca113]

It's nice they used her best outfit for this.

[idiotalchemist]

Is it just me, or is Riddler making bedroom eyes at Harley in that last panel? Naughty boy; Ivy's right there.

[kamino_neko]

That is one terrible costume on Catwoman. >_>

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Looks like her original Animated Series costume, with some added eyewear.

[icon_uk]

I maintain that BTAS Catwoman's original costume is the best look she's ever had. It's simple, stylish and practical for her job (no high heels or pointless tail)

[kamino_neko]

Also, I am surprised that the party crowd included March Harriet and the Walrus (and Hatter and the Tweedles), but not the Carpenter. I'm pretty sure this is the first time Harriet has appeared since their initial story ended, but Dini got a few more stories out of Carpenter...

[crinos]

Wasn't Carpenter the one who went after Batman with power tools, and Batman was like "....really?" And she just immediately gave up?

[informationgeek]

Yep! The very one. Fun character and I like her backstory of being the person creates and revamps all of the villain hideouts and traps in Gotham.

[beyondthefringe]

The time I learned that Killer Croc has... four nipple spikes?

[sarahnewlin]

Ivy's a good friend/girlfriend, doing this for Harley

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Ivy is too awesome. I really wish she'd make the full anti-hero turn.

[shadowpsykie]

she kind has, as of late. She's a chaotic agent of the Green.

[starwolf_oakley]

I should have asked this last week. Was there a story where it was "revealed" Harley's birthday is on September 11, and it was used as a plot point?

Huh...

[silverzeo]

Had a sill idea for a Batman Black and White short fanfiction where it is Harley's birthday/anniversary with the Joker... but Mister J is out while Harley is Arkham. The inmates all reassure Harley that the Joker would be there for her bad... mostly all of them making threats against his life if he upsets her... which the Clown princes takes in stride... until a certain Dark Knight sets a few things up so Joker WILL get Harley and have some fun... namely robbing wares from Lex Luthor or something...

Like I said, fanfic idea... haven;t managed to really sat down with it...

But I was inspired by how it seems like Harley actually brings the best in the worst of Arkham... save for Joker of course. In way, Harley Quin is still a therapist to them. She knowns them and understands them... and vice versa....
