The denizens of Gotham are made of fucking steel. Also, lots of them are poor and lots of them are corrupt, so they're stuck/the place works out nicely for them. It is my theory, anyway. But I do like how they're so freakin' tough.

Oooh, strung out acid queen with bleary makeup for Ivy kinda works. I've been seeing her as an articulate, aloof, elegantly grungy post-grad type. Whatever the case, I want her redeemed like the way the story had it when she ends up living in the park, making it all lush and taking in stray children.

There's so little I know about the comics themselves. My Batman knowledge comes from the cartoon show, but that's a damn good place to get it, as far as I'm concerned.

They must be - all that death and crazy happening around them all the time. If they do decide to move, they could laugh in the face of any other corrupt inner city ever.

Was that in the animated series? Because my knowledge of Batman and its universe comes from there as well, but it's been years since I've seen an episode; my memory's a touch fuzzy.

I don't know that I ever saw it on the cartoon, but I was skimming the Batman encyclopedia and one of the comics did that, apparently, and it makes me squee.

Me too! I like the idea of Ivy being redeemed; she seems like one of the few characters, especially antagonists, in the Batmanverse that could even have that ending.
