The iconic romance between Poison Ivy may be facing its greatest challenge yet in the world of DC Comics. With the introduction of Janet from HR, the relationship that fans have come to adore is at a crossroads. The new addition of Janet to this fan-favorite couple's dynamic has brought secrecy, infidelity, and a love triangle into the lives of Harley and Ivy, potentially altering the course of their romance forever.
Following Ivy's aborted mission to end humanity, Poison Ivy #8 - by G. Willow Wilson, Marcio Takara, and Arif Prianto - introduces Ivy's old friend, Janet from HR. Janet plays a pivotal role in saving Ivy's life after an encounter with a fracking CEO goes wrong. As they embark on a journey back to Gotham together, their newly rekindled friendship takes an unexpected turn, evolving into a romantic relationship.
Poison Ivy And Janet Take Their Relationship To The Next Level
In Poison Ivy #10 (also by Wilson, Takara, and Prianto) Ivy and Janet share their first intimate encounter at a lifestyle retreat in California, marking a significant shift from friendship to romance. Notably, Ivy, who has previously openly discussed her liaisons with other women to Harley, has refrained from disclosing her involvement with Janet even after returning to Gotham. This raises questions about Ivy's secrecy, contrasting with her past transparency. It further adds complexity to their relationships, with potential consequences for Harley, Ivy, and Janet's interconnected dynamics. This secrecy casts a looming shadow, hinting at a potentially perilous path that could jeopardize the beloved "Harlivy" dynamic.
A Love Triangle Between Harley, Ivy, and Janet Begins
Despite their cohabitation with Harley, Ivy and Janet continue to nurture their clandestine connection. However, things even get more entangled when Harley is thrust into the ever-growing complicated dynamic from a new angle. In Poison Ivy # 14 (Wilson, Takara, and Prianto) Harley and Janet share an unexpected and ionate kiss that emerges during a heartfelt conversation about Harley's transformation from villain to hero in Gotham. This intimate moment, unbeknownst to Ivy, further fuels the already complicated love triangle rooted in secrecy and infidelity. Harley and Janet's clandestine encounter adds an intricate layer of tension to the narrative, intensifying the unfolding drama.

Poison Ivy’s Surprise Pregnancy Signals Her Horrific New Future
Jessica Fong's cover for Poison Ivy #18 reveals that Ivy could be pregnant with a monster, hinting at a terrifying new future for the iconic antihero.
The Harley and Ivy relationship has always been about complexities, redemption, and love. However, the introduction of Janet from HR disrupts this delicate balance. The overarching themes of secrecy and the new dynamics involving Janet could drive a wedge between the fan-favorite pairing of Ivy and Harley. While some may welcome the exploration of a polyamorous dynamic, others may argue that Harley and Ivy have more to explore within their own relationship, without adding another character to the mix.
Either way, no one can deny that the dynamics of this fan-favorite couple are about to change. Whether it's for better or worse, the addition of Janet from HR has undeniably injected a new level of complexity and intrigue into the relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next twist in their entangled love story.
