"Shipping" is one of the best-known ways for fans to use their creativity in relation to a comics series, and every so often an unofficial "ship" slips into the canon. Fans had matched up Buffy and Spike, Superman and Wonder Woman and other couples long before anyone with creative authority confirmed them as romantically involved. Add another couple to that list. Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, who've been allies since before Harley even jumped from animated cartoons to the comics, were confirmed as "non-monogamous girlfriends" by her series creators Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner, speaking on DC Comics' official creator account.
