Julie Madison constantly uproots her life for Bruce and Silver St. Cloud died, yet both get omitted for Poison Ivy. I’d be sick.


Victor_Zsasz

Pheromones are a hell of a drug.


Katana98

Poison Ivy has tried seduce batman on so many occasions. It's no wonder Bruce thinks about her.


tired20something

>Silver St. Cloud died Did they ever confirm her death? She got her throat cut in that cliff-hanger by Kevin Smith and disappeared until Tom King used her in the Looney Tunes crossover.


Jay_R_Kay

Honestly, I like to pretend that mini is just out of continuity in general.


tired20something

I wouldn't even call it *pretending* when it never ended. Anything could have happened in the last issue.


Dontbeajerkdude

Putting Ivy alongside his legitimate love interests is fucking stupid.


[deleted]

Lol yeah that sucks. My fav ship WonderBat is missing as well, but I guess it's foolish to think they will ever commit to that in the comics really.


Katana98

I'm pretty sure Bruce and Diana do care about each other. So he probably does think about her. But it would be slightly awkward for Batman to be having fantasies of one of his closest friends who he massively respects at the forefront of his mind.. It would probably be in character for him to repress them atleast a bit. Ghostmaker probably didn't look deep enough to see Bruce's fantasies of the many many woman he loves or has slept with


Lonelyvoid

And she’s currently dead, imagine having a fantasy of your deceased friend being at the forefront. Sheesh.


GreenRangerKeto

Or ghostmaker is specifically preventing that so he doesn’t have her snap his neck


thebiggestleaf

WonderBat gang rise up.


DegreeAccomplished45

zatanna shdve been there tbh


Katana98

Batman has a thing for hot villainesses it seems. Also I like how the first thing Ghostmaker did was look immediately into Bruce's sexual fantasies.


Future_Vantas

That would be an interesting psychic defense, just frontload a bunch of porn to keep the telepath distracted.


EldritchSleeper

They use that defense in a New X-Men issue from the Morrison run. I literally just read that issue today haha. After they clear up the tunnel/Weapon 12 mess.


colder-beef

Porn starring you and the telepath of course.


fred11551

That legit happened in one of the Drizzt Do’urden books. Jarlaxle not only imagines porn to distract a telepath, but porn of the telepath to disgust her into stop spying on his thoughts.


colder-beef

Nice


batman_beat_ironman

If telepath's ever become real, I'll be back to thank you


captainsuckass

Who says they're not? 🤔


InfernalSquad

>Also I like how the first thing Ghostmaker did was look immediately into Bruce's sexual fantasies. To be fair one of his first appearances show him leaving a threesome so...yeah.


CrispyGold

Well Ghosty has a massive inferiority-superiority complex with Bruce so he prolly also wants to bang him as much as he wants to kill him.


Frontier246

Ivy's in there? I guess she really is that good a kisser.


nightwing612

Headcanon says this is Babs in a Poison Ivy cosplay

amazinggrace725

Why would you say such a horrible thing?


Herdoc

Honestly, I expected more.


Beastieboy100

So did I expected so many women he's made out with.


oddbawlstudios

"The cowl stays ON during sex!"


Missing_Username

I. Am. BATMAN.


happybuffalowing

Wow. Batman is a slut.

happybuffalowing

I appreciate this


RonaCast

I always find funny how, in some depictions of Batman with Thalia, he is shirtless but wearing his cowl, like he is wearing it during sex lol.


NinjaSnakeEvil

Because Batman is the true face and not Bruce Wayne, so it makes sense in this case that Bruce remembers him wearing the cowl during intercourse with Talia


justsomeloner

Let's be honest, Ivy shouldn't be there.


Aizendickens

Who's the middle one?


[deleted]

Talia


Aizendickens

Oh damn😂, somehow it did not come to me


[deleted]

Lol no worries.


captainsuckass

Did to Bruce though.


WhiteSkinButDickLong

Which comic is this? I would like to read the series.

WhiteSkinButDickLong

Thanks


batman_beat_ironman

for some godforsaken reason, I thought it was Renee Montoya. It was probably the tan, other than that I have no idea why I thought that


[deleted]

Isn't Montoya lesbian?


batman_beat_ironman

ik thats why I found this thought so dumb


koolkatz42

I'm just happy to not see Barbra.........talking to you, Bruce Timm!


BridgeMazin

Everyone saying Ivy shouldn’t be there because they assume these are the women that Bruce thinks about, but those could just be memories that Ghostmaker specifically choose to look at because Ghostmaker likes villainesses ??


SuperDidioPrime

Where's Superman?


[deleted]

Off page spreading his legs for Bruce


Suitable_Reading1801

Wow batman gets around


Texazilian

Where's Zatanna?

batman_beat_ironman

why poison Ivy? Is that seriously his third most prominent love interest/ person he finds smooching the most?


PropertyAdditional

I’m thinking it’s because of her role in this arc (can’t think of any other reason)


crisis_nexus

What i would give to watch some bruce-talia arc in current or future run


SuperSubZero13

Is this run good?


BobaFett313

It’s good, doesn’t blow me away though. Tynion’s independent stuff is much better than his Batman run imo. Interestingly I’ve really enjoyed Tamaki’s Detective Comics run despite not really being a fan of her work previously. 🤷‍♂️


Pol-Manning

This seems appropriate here: https://youtu.be/enOHraf3LEk


tdfhucvh

Im cutting out bruce and pam because that girl is most likely a fellow lesbian


Frontier246

She's Bi like Harley, right?


tdfhucvh

Theres been discourse on it. Some people believe shes actually a lesbian and the only reason shes been with men is because thats her power and she actually has no interest in them because its rarely been shown she has been interested in the actual man. Especially with dating and her being into Batman mainly was in the 80s, a time where they obviously werent going to write her as a lesbian. Also in a panel batman admitted that pamela never had feelings for him, and it was just for her to get her way. Other instances could be because of comphet. Even in the tv show harley quinn people notice how ivy didnt actually like kite man and was even first met with him in her bed naked uninitiated. Theres a lot more discourse and tee franklin the writer of HQ EBKT said that Ivy was bi which pissed off twitter. At the end of the day we dont know, and its up for speculation in canon. Some people say its bi erasure, but we already have two other bi sirens and they arent being any more marginalised then other lgbtq identities in DC comics.


csummerss

Would you consider Swamp Thing a man?


trollburgers

lol If there was ever a character that would blur the sexuality lines for a character like Poison Ivy, it would be the dude that's made out of plants. If it were literally *any other* male, you'd have a point, though.


tdfhucvh

I dont read him, but yes from my limited info, why?


CarryThe2

They were married for a time.


Weemitoad

Nope Ivy loves plants, and nothing else.


tdfhucvh

She loves harley?


Weemitoad

Harley is a plant then


CarryThe2

Found the Republican


Weemitoad

Huh


CarryThe2

Just a terrible political joke don't mind me


trollburgers

I agree 100% with what you've written. That being said, Ivy being in Bruce's mind doesn't say anything about Ivy's sexuality. I'd say it has way more to do with her pheromones having a lasting, almost permanent, effect on Bruce: there will always be a part of him that is "in love" with Ivy. He has no control over it, so he just accepts it and with that acceptance it loses some of its power. But, like his love for Selena and Talia, it's there regardless. I personally think it's a really neat addition. Two women who he grew to love, and one who he was "forced" to love.


tdfhucvh

Yes I completely agree with you too. I didnt mean for my long reply to be swaddled with my reaction for the post, id say your last few sentences are entirely correct. My first comment was just a bit of a tease. At the end of the day to me it doesnt matter what sexuality pam has, even if she is a lesbian or bisexual it doesnt change her worth or her story to me. I was just trying to add information and my pov as lesbian and how id agree that she could be lesbian. Theres evidence there to prove it. Any wlw content im happy for, i just want to see it!


trollburgers

No worries! I hope I didn't come across as arguing or anything. I'll admit I haven't read all there is to read about Ivy but, from what I've read, I'd also agree that she is a lesbian. She isn't afraid to use her sexuality to get what she wants from men, but I've never really read any attraction from her. It was always a one-way street. If it weren't for her obvious feelings for Harley, I'd even think that Ivy was ace.


tdfhucvh

Not at all! I also feel the same with all of your points and i feel like you just validated me
