heteronormative lens when you should be looking at it through relationship dynamics. Though the DCAU version, and comics based on it, their dynamic is different with Ivy being domineering and paternalistic while Harley is indifferent, bratty, and oppositional, resulting in a mutually abusive relationship. The GCS take on it has Ivy as the clear abuser in the relationship, dismissive and ungrateful, with her treating Harley more like a pet than a person, much less a friend or lover.
