To do that, they need to enlist the help of somebody who knows Ivy better than anyone.
Unfortunately that somebody is Harley Quinn.
This DVD is a pleasant surprise to those of us who have happy memories of the old DCAU cartoons - Batman: TAS, Superman and Justice League - as it uses the signature stylised animation style and witty dialogue of the "Diniverse"
As a useful bonus, Harley is the loudmouthed, fruitcake we know and love, rather than the darker-edged psycho of recent media.
Since the writers are well aware that their DCAU audience is now older, they use the DVD format to push the envelope just a little bit. There's a couple of low-level naughty words, more graphic violence and then there's this ...
It gets even less kiddie-friendly after this, believe me.
I loved this DVD. The cast are all excellent, especially Kevin Conroy who may be the definitive Batman. There's plenty of action, plenty of funny bits and some developments that the writers clearly threw in for the hell of it. The oddball team-up of Batman, Nightwing and Harley is marvellous in itself and serves as a springboard for more fun-times.
I think I made this face a few times. Minus the boobie-shake obviously.
Why's Harley looking so pleased with herself?
Oh God. That's why.
Batman suggests you buy this DVD. Or else.
To sum up: if you loved the DCAU, loved Harley Quinn and want to see a DC movie that isn't grim and a slog to watch then check out Batman and Harley Quinn.
