>>104299240I don't follow the actual DC narrative, but Harley having someone that actually cared for her, even if Poison Ivy uses her in several issues "for the greater good" of her objectives, felt good. Especially when Joker narcicism and manipulation went up the roof (which I loved, don't get me wrong there) and we saw Harley get used and dumped all the time.
I think it was a way for the writers to not make a great character with personality a continuous punching bag. And the readers like to see a victim getting some justice/ good karma.
