[[folder:Batman and the Joker]]
* Among other things, [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker Joker]] is occasionally thought to have feelings for Batman that go beyond simple obsession and into romantic obsession. In one scene, he tortures LexLuthor, and Lex Luthor asks him if he is upset that Batman loves Catwoman more than him. Joker looks almost adorably bewildered for a moment before flying into a rage and jacking up the torture level.
--->"Joker, does it ever bother you... really bother you... that Batman will always like Catwoman better? Blow up his city all you want, he'll never take you to the prom!"
* Subverted in a Batman Confidential, when Batman commits a crime as his criminal persona, Matches Malone, so he'll get sent to jail, get put in the cell next to Joker's, and pick his brains. After Joker recognizes him-in about five seconds-Batman changes clothes right there, causing Joker to turn around and cover his eyes. "Don't worry. I like-a the ''ladies''."
* More or less confirmed in the ''Cacophony'' mini-series where Joker's stated dreams are to humiliate Batman, kill him, then violate his corpse sexually. (What? You were expecting something ROMANTIC or even ''sane'' from the Joker?)
* Then, of course, you have Joker in ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns''. "Batman. Darling."

[[folder:Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy]]
* Also, three words: Harley and Ivy. There are even ''fast-food placemats'' that insinuate these ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' villainesses might be a lesbian couple.
* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Comicbook/{{Batgirl}} [[http://media.photobucket.com/image/harley%20batgirl/Insanely-Random/Cartoons/batgirlharley.jpg?o=7 once]], when she [[EnemyMine teamed up with Harley]]. Harley got her right back:
%% Found in [[http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/5275280.html 'Brave and the Bold Cartoon Officially Announced']]
---> '''Harley''': Oh, Ivy can't hurt me. She gave me a special shot once so we can play and I won't get sick at all.
--->'''Batgirl''': You mean you two...?
--->'''Harley''': What?
--->'''Batgirl''': You and Ivy are... well... *crosses her index and middle fingers in that "I'm implying you're in a relationship" gesture* friends...
--->'''Harley''': Yeah...?
--->'''Batgirl''': Y'know... friends... like...
--->'''Harley''': Like what everybody says about you and Supergirl?
--->'''Batgirl''': What?! Who says...? Forget it! Forget it!
* Harley's expression when talking about how Ivy can't hurt her is effin' ''priceless''.
* The suggestive drawings of the two by BruceTimm don't exactly serve to disprove the implications between them.
* Let's face it. It's not even subtext, it's just... TEXT.
* Dini has confirmed their relationship as romantic and sexual. Not that WordOfGod was needed in this case. Unless you were denser than lead.
* Two throw-away characters in a Harley and Ivy comic (based on the animated series) are depicted as being gay themselves as a sort of joke, a pair of lumberjacks called Slash and Burn (Slash has chainsaws, Burn has a flamethrower). When they try to bring in Harley and Ivy, the two try to get them to let them go free by asking if they would do it for a pair of cute girls like themselves. The two just look at each other knowingly before jumping into combat.
* In the Batman Black and White backup comic "The Bet", written by Paul Dini, we see Harley saying that she misses men, with pictures of several specimens on the wall of her cell. She asks Poison Ivy, in the next cell, if she ever gets "the lonelies". Red says she has everything she needs. She's lying on her bed with her plants...and pictures of her and Harley. [[note]]Including her sleeping. And one that appears to be of Supergirl.[[/note]] Harley's response? "No. I mean, like, for guys." Ivy admits that she does need to "mist her fern" every once in a while.
* The relationship continues into the New 52: Harley's first annual, written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner, features her deliberately kissing Ivy to break her out of brainwashing (it doesn't work, but still), and in a separate moment declaring they have a connection beyond what most people can even begin to understand.

* In one issue, when having fun with ComicBook/TheCreeper, Joker mentions to him ''"That laugh of yours... It just makes me tingle all over"''
