Dear Batman,
Nooooo!
See?! It’s terrible!
This conversation is me deciding quiet agreement is a better course of action than actually saying anything.

Dear Batman,
This conversation is me deciding quiet agreement is a better course of action than actually saying anything.
lol, @msgtv I definitely I don’t mind either in general. Once fighting crime comes into play, that’s another thing. But you’re perfectly free to acknowledge general attractiveness—especially because I don’t disagree.
No, I was referring to make Cat a very happy woman. But, I think I’m on safe ground saying ‘it’s better to give…’
So many thoughts to convey, but soooo don’t want to feel the wrath of the mods.
Everywhere is where we reside
For once I’m going to help deflect the waves of potential mod wrath by pivoting to some neat news. Today was announced we’re getting another new Suicide Squad Black Label book by the creative team of the most recent Hellblazer series that involves Harley, King Shark, Captain Boomerang and Peacemaker being tasked to watch over a group of soldiers who are given superpowers at the cost that they only have six months to live after.
There's a brand new, horror-tinged Suicide Squad series coming from DC, and we have the first exclusive details on it.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!
Thought I’d share this and give out a possible theory.
So ahead of the AMA for this community, Stephanie Phillips did one for the DC Comics subreddit, and a lot of the questions were about her Harley Quinn series. Some notable highlights from it in relation to Harley:
She considers the Palmiotti/Conner run to be in continuity with her series, a previous chapter in her life that’s different from her current chapter, but still influences where she is today. When asked if there’s a chance to see any of the Coney Island crew again, she said “There’s always a possibility!”
When asked about the new characters Kevin and Keepsake, she said that she wanted those two and Harley to represent different viewpoints of people who have worked with The Joker and how it’s affected them, and how they contrast with Harley’s path of redemption.
She also mentioned that Kevin is named off a dog who has a profile on Instagram called A Golden Named Kevin. I’m mostly sharing this part because I love this dog like he’s one of my own.
When asked if she prefers Harley as an anti-hero or villain, she replied: “I think Harley is fun no matter what because she’s always HER. She has a unique way of dealing with any situation and she will solve a problem in a way that I don’t think any other DC character could. Writing her as a hero has been really fun because she has an impulse to do something bad and has to try to reign herself in, sometimes more successfully than others.”
She talks about future issues – issue #10 will extensively deal with Harley’s relationship with Poison Ivy, and issues #11-12 will be about Harley trying to deal with a more traditional “superhero” problem in a way that a Batman would and the problems that come from that.
When asked who she would love Harley to team up with if she got to pick, she said she got to pick and won’t say anything because we will see them team up in 2022.
Speaking of which, Stephanie says several times that there is a big event happening with Harley coming next year. She also specifically talks about it when mentioning the issue with Poison Ivy: “Harley issue #10 will be a dedicated issue to their relationship and there are lots of things happening with Ivy, but I can’t talk too much more about it. I think readers will be pretty excited in 2022.”
Okay, so with that in mind – an issue dedicated to Harley/Ivy and a big event in 2022, I’m calling it right now: The Wedding of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
Here’s a link to the AMA if you want to read more of her general thoughts as well as stuff about her Wonder Woman mini, creator-owned work, and more:

Oh, and here’s the Harley themed solicits for February!
First off, while I doubt she’s in these issues, I wanted to show off the Lee Bermejo covers for Detective Comics that feature her because…Lee Bermejo.
Then there’s the solicit for the upcoming Suicide Squad mini I mentioned:
Of course there’s going to be a Valentine’s Day One-Shot and Harley features on both covers:
A great variant cover for Dark Knights of Steel #4:

If Superman was created by Vince McMahon that is exactly what he would be wearing.

Is that a Christmas sweater?
