Harley is an abuse survivor of course she’d wreck this dude!!! Can I just say how much I love the implications here?Harley and Ivy are known public figures. People know who they are, and recognize them. And this kid knows that, despite being violent criminals, they’re safe enough to go to for protection.Ivy is dead certain that the Batfamily will be okay with them intervening to protect a kid. That has some intersting implications - either she knows damn well where the lines lie and that this is overriding enough to get her a pass, or (more likely, given the first bit) this has come up before. one of my favorite tropes is villains acting heroically not because the other villain is a threat to them or because it benefits them, but because they have standards ^^^ That’s the good shit right there Always reblog protector Harley and Ivy I think this illustrates that there is sometimes a separation between the types of villains. There are some villains who have little to no redeeming qualities like Joker and then you have what’s shown in this panel. Two of the most infamous villains with the mindset of, “Wait a minute! No, you don’t hurt children! They’re off limits!” This (official) story is in the anthology series Batman: Black and White. Fourth volume of the series, third issue, printed 2013. Written by Paul Dini himself and drawn by Stephane Roux. and it has an even happier ending! I love this???? Thanks for adding the ending! fuck, now I’m crying Oh look. It’s MY Batman. The real Batman, not the hypermasculine ultraviolent for the sake of ultraviolence asshole that keeps popping up in popular media. The Batman who held Ace’s hand. The Batman who keeps trying to get his rogue’s gallery treatment. The Batman who hands low-tier thugs a Wayne Enterprises business card and says “call them about a job.” The Batman who isn’t black and white, the Batman who recognizes even “bad” people can do “good” things. The Batman who genuinely cares about people, not just punishment. -- source link
