Oh what's that? DC has paired up Harley Quinn with Booster Gold of all people instead of Poison Ivy in the comics now? Well I'm sorry, I'm finding it hard to hear that over the bin of SHAME that I'm currently stuffing DC into.

Blissfully forgetting DC's latest stupid retcon for a moment, Harley and Ivy have been one of the most interesting couple dynamics to come out of DC in years. True, after sharing a bed with the likes of the Joker, pretty much anyone looks good by comparison, but the two really did bring out the best in each other.

Now that we know for a fact that Margot Robbie can carry an entire movie as Harley, and that Poison Ivy is rumoured to make an appearance in the upcoming Batman movie, now is the perfect chance to start planning for these two to headline a project on their own.

DC has been desperate to give people reason to watch their movies instead of the MCU, so actually being upfront about two lead characters in their movie being gay instead of playing it coy and using international markets as a thinly veiled excuse would be quite the power move.
