Midnighter and Apollo: The World's Finest Couple tied the knot and formally adopted their daughter in issue #29 of The Authority, making them the first same-sex marriage in a mainstream comic. DC's New52 retcon of their marriage has since been put to rights when they renewed their vows in DC Pride 2023.
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy: Ever since the episode Harley&Ivy in Batman The Animated Series, this couple has been a fan favourite long before they were together in canon. Now, they appear in every Pride anthology, and most of DC's romance anthologies. Together, they had the first same-sex kiss on the cover of a superhero comic.
Tim Drake and Bernard Dowd: Fans have long had theories about all members of the BatFamily, but Tim Drake is the first of them to officially come out as queer, when he began dating former school friend and Bat enthusiast, Bernard Dowd. They were recently featured sharing the first kiss between two men on a superhero comic cover.

Thinking about how likely it is that BTAS Ivy grew old n spent all of that time fully believing that Harley died. That despite all her efforts and desperation to save her and get her away from Joker she didn't, she couldn't, and she lost her. That Harley died the same day that wretched man did and it became just yet another thing linking her to him for eternity.
thinking about how BTAS Ivy loved her So much and never got the chance to grow old with her, to see her heal and recover, to heal and recover with her
thinking about how much they deserved their happy ending but never got one. how we're seeing & getting their Less Platonic moments in the newer BTAS comics with the impending knowledge that the narrative has already decided it's a fate they'll never truly get to indulge in and savor, that it will always be destined to end in tragedy.
how for some universes a happy ending is given, growing old together is just the future we know is already there awaiting them... but not for them, not for btas harlivy... not the originals, for their story will always be a tragedy.

DC Comics Incorrect Quotes Pt 68
Bruce: Every time I shower I'm like "yeah! I'll take better care of myself! This rules! Yeah!" And then the horrors.
Alfred: "The horrors" are "drying off" and "getting dressed," by the way.
Harley: Standing next to sunflowers always makes me feel weak. Look at this fucking flower. This flower is taller than I am. This flower is winning and I'm losing.
Ivy: Wow, you are not ready to hear about trees.
