Wrapping up our Batman series, this week, Mackenna and Aubrey discuss the Gotham City Sirens: Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn. We dive deep into the history of each character, as well as their similarities and differences. The big question this week is why can’t a woman just be a villain? Also… happy pride Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are gay.
