Comic Book Zen :: That Time Batman Borrowed the Space Shuttle

I read comics like this and have to laugh when people take issue with the plots (or plot holes) of superhero movies.

NASA loans the Space Shuttle to Batman and Talia. no questions asked...and no space suits either!

Although this comic is from 1982; the Space Shuttle was brand new, so this was probably pretty neat to see back then.

From Batman Annual #8 - 1982.

Poisunday Ivy :: Doesn't everyone?

Who doesn't love you, Harley?

I think i t was Paul Dini who originally paired these two up and for whatever reason it works. Ivy is stoic and angry, while Harley is impetuous and freewheeling. Ivy knows the Joker is no good for Harley (and let's face it, so does Harley deep down) but Harl's heart will always belong to her Mr. J.

From Gotham City Sirens #24.

Ok, so it's the much maligned DCnU Harley Quinn, but still..
