The best question with that movie: who was the A-hole?

Roger Ebert was the best because he never lost sight of whether he was enjoying a given movie or not.

Sheโ€™s the main anti hero ๐ŸŽ‰

And finally we get to see things from her point of view. I loved that.

The series acknowledges her past but sheโ€™s in a better place overall and kind of has to live with that.

I really like it.

Oh Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™ll love it.

Iโ€™m reading the Poison Ivy series right now and through the first two years itโ€™s fantastic.

Itโ€™s probably not for everyone but itโ€™s definitely for me.

The first Batman comic I read was a scenario where Ras Al Ghul frees all the Arkham inmates and fights Batman after he runs that gauntlet.

I feel like he was the big villain of the moment in the 80s and I think his appeal is he can match Batman on all levels.

Ivy is my favorite Batman villain. I love almost all versions of her.

(Although if itโ€™s a matter of going up against Batman in an all-out contest I think Rhas Al Ghul is the best)

I like Ivy best when sheโ€™s got a Catwoman-ish dynamic with Batman ๐Ÿ’

Ivy personas, ranked.

Rampaging Ivy is primarily from DCโ€™s Killing Joke phase (late 80s and 90s).

Femme Fatale Ivy, this has been a recurring persona from the start.

Pamela Lillian Isley; three dimensional anti hero in the series.

Green Ivy: the Harley Show ๐Ÿคฉ

Goddess Ivy: always ๐Ÿ™

Havenโ€™t read Absolute Batman yet, but it looks like Queen Ivy is back ๐Ÿ‘‘

Its one of her many recurring Personas. In this context her relationship with Batman is usually โ€œjoin me or die.โ€

Thereโ€™s definitely an โ€œoff with their headsโ€ element to itโ€”just one more way sheโ€™s the Queen of Hearts ๐Ÿ˜

The Trails Jeager brawls are always good.

Itโ€™s against elite attack units, basically a party of top henchmen.

What makes it unique is that theyโ€™ll heal, use an area effect that blocks any one attack, and buffs.

Itโ€™s usually a large group; and theyโ€™ll heal if you donโ€™t take care of business ๐Ÿ˜…

Back in the 80s every comic book had an ad from Mile High Comics, which was just a massive list of the back issues they were selling and the prices.

Ordered from them more than once. Glad to see theyโ€™re still around.

There are a lot of Ivy figurines out there but I donโ€™t expect to ever get oneโ€ฆbecause it would need to be โ€œjust rightโ€and those ones are expensive.

The trick is getting the face and hair just right, and you donโ€™t really see that for less than $200 ๐Ÿ˜…

I just got a text from someone claiming to be the attorney general of Massachusetts, asking for a donation.

I donโ€™t know how this person got my info and I immediately deleted it because it could be a scam and I donโ€™t care enough to find out.

I guess Iโ€™m not yet acclimated to text spam ๐Ÿ˜”

The Trails series has a lot of mellow exploration and heart-to-heart moments, but every game has a few chapters where itโ€™s 100 percent go time.

The series is really good at balancing all that, and giving you an experience that builds toward something ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ™

Yaaaasss, tho I kind of ship her with Batman too.

I love it that the older stories and the newer ones make it clear that Batman is much more into Ivy than he lets onโ€ฆ.

But Ivy and Harley do bring out the best in each other ๐Ÿ’

The discourse around that game was crazy but square didnโ€™t do themselves any favors having the true ending be DLC ๐Ÿ˜…

My favorite part of Harley and Ivyโ€™s first meeting:

Harley: nice work butterfingers. Why donโ€™t you turn on the Batsignal while youโ€™re at it?

Ivy: [I owe you an apology. I wasnโ€™t really familiar with your game] ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ’

Zatanna has a lot in common with Scarlet Witch in terms of the general idea.
But the best Zatanna stories sometimes incorporate elements celebrity and being a performer, and thatโ€™s kind of unique to her.
Zatanna Bring Down the House did a nice job of that recently ๐Ÿ’
