YMMV / The Adventures of Batman & Robin E5 "House & Garden"

• Fanfic Fuel: What if Pamela's reform wasn't a charade? Perhaps she could help Harley to "see the light" as Steven had. In addition to being an ally Batman goes to for toxicological info, the same way he went to Kirk Langstrom for help in "Tyger, Tyger".
  • Suppose the subtext between Batman and Isley was directly addressed. What if they acted on their unspoken, mutual attraction? What does that mean for her marriage to Dr. Carlyle and their kids?
  • How Pam seduced and kissed Steven into being her lovesick slave so she could escape Arkham. More than likely similar to Ivy's interview tapes from Batman: Arkham Asylum.
• Moral Event Horizon: Ivy has tried to kill people before, including innocents like Alfred, but she never raped anyone. The episode confirms that Dr. Carlyle was traumatized by her brainwashing him and using his "genetic material" to make clones. No wonder she hightailed it out of there as soon as Dick Grayson was rescued.
• Tear Jerker: Finding out why Ivy went through everything she did, and then losing it all in the end. If she wasn't so deranged as to require it be on "her terms" (her children should be plants and creating them by manipulating Carlyle), it would seem downright cruel to rip it all away from her.
