But before getting your hands on The Hunt, don't you want to know how the beloved queer couple met or when the pair started dating? If yes, then keep reading.
Exploring the beginning of Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn's love story
In 1993, Harley and Ivy met on the forty-seventh episode of Batman: The Animated Series. The episode was titled Harley and Ivy, and it sees the former being in a toxic relationship with the Joker.
After being thrown out of the car by the Joker, the heartbroken Harley decided to steal a diamond from the Gotham Museum to show her potential to Joker. At the museum, she crossed paths with Poison Ivy, who was there to steal some plant toxins. The two had to team up to escape, after which they realized that they could be the best partners in crime. Since their first meeting, they have committed several heists together.
However, their love affair took a lot of time to bloom in the DC comics as Harley Quinn was not ready to leave the Joker, no matter how abusive the relationship was.
Poison Ivy tried to convince her that their relationship wasn't worth it, but she wasn't ready to listen to anything against her boyfriend. Harley and Ivy's relationship was explored further in Harley Quinn #1, but the duo wasn't shown as being romantically involved up until 2013.
The pair were seen in an open relationship in an adult animated show titled Harley Quinn. However, the show also took us through the phase where Poison Ivy was going to get married to Batman's villain Kite Man. Ivy thought that she was in love with him, but she soon learned about her feelings for Harley and stepped back from the marriage. Since then, Ivy and Harley's relationship has made its way to the hearts of their fans, and everyone loves seeing the couple together in TV, comics, and other media.
