Women Wednesday: Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit #1

DC Comics released Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit #1 today and here's the summery: "There’s a hot new outer space-themed nightclub in Gotham City, and who better to rob it than Catwoman, Ivy, and Harley? But there’s more to this intergalactic discotheque than meets the eye(s), as the Sirens discover when they stumble headfirst into a plot to destroy the entire planet led by the club’s owner — the alien despot Despero! I hope you have good insurance, Gotham City, because you’re about to get wrecked. Special appearances by deadly DJs, hunky alien hotties, dancers dressed as aliens, mutant failures, one wild UFO, and lots and lots of fire!"

Women Wednesday: Batman and Harley Quinn DVD

I picked up a few DC Universe dvds at the local Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. Among them was the Batman and Harley Quinn dvd from 2017. Kevin Conroy is the voice of Batman while Melissa Rauch (The Big Bang Theory's Benadette) is the voice of Harley Quinn. There are plenty of great moments in this animated movie such as Harley seducing Nightwing while she is wearing just her white bra and panties. Yeah, this is more risqué than Batman: The Animated Series. Poison Ivy and Floronic Man appear as the main villains. As a bonus treat, the special feature is a sneak peak at Batman Gotham by Gaslight, which I hope to find on dvd someday.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 31: DCeased #6 Cover

Wow, what a month and Halloween is now upon us. DCeased #6 is out now too and is the final issue of the mini series from DC Comics. The cover features Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn and a zombified Catwoman. This issue deals with a zombified Superman and I highly recommend you getting your hands on a copy.

This post wraps up this year's Countdown to Halloween. I hope you enjoyed the posts and don't forget to bookmark Moongem Comics for you never know what I might post next.

Countdown to Halloween 2018 Day 8: Gotham City Sirens in Costumes

The Gotham City Sirens include Harley Quinn wearing a mummy costume, Catwoman dressed as a black cat and Poison Ivy wearing a pointy witch hat. Check out the mouth on that wicked Jack 0'Lantern:

Sexy Sunday: DC Comics Bombshells #18

The cover of DC Comics Bombshells #18 is the same cover as #16 featuring Batwoman and Catwoman while page one features Stargirl riding a bomb with the credits. This issue is part 9 of 9 so that means it's the last issue. Bare with me because there is a lot to follow in this one issue.

DC Comics Bombshells #18 starts with Mera talking with Stargirl and Supergirl on a battleship while Commander Waller arrives along with Big Barda and Dr. Hoshi aka Dr. Light. Hoshi gives the Soviet superheroines new uniforms that they object to because they do not want to be poster girls. Stargirl uses her cosmic staff to change their uniforms from red to blue. The sisters fly off probably to save their father.

Next, we catch up with Kate Kane aka the Batwoman riding in a white car with Catwoman and Lex Luthor in Berlin when they are hit by a black vehicle. Brother Night steps out demanding that they hand over Kate. She grabs her baseball bat and is ready for action.

The issue then switches to a prison camp in Greece where Wonder Woman is being held captive. Steve Trevor is trying to talk her into apologizing to General Lane. She refuses and breaks the bars intent on getting them both out of there.

In France, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are killing Nazi zombies while riding in a truck. Harley is singing about their exploits in a bizarre Christmas song.

The final section features Zatanna in Berlin reminiscing with Constantine, who is still a rabbit. He changes the subject to how she is on the wrong side. Zatanna explains how the Joker's Daughter saved her during the first purge since she had a Jewish father and a Romani mother. Constantine tells her that she is more powerful than she realizes and that the Joker's Daughter is using her as a battery. He tells her that Amanda Waller sent him there to find something that may be hiding in the cabaret. She tells him how the rooms moves and she has the feeling that something is watching her. He promises her that he will get her out somehow and together they can change the tide.

I won't give away the final page except to say that the Joker's Daughter makes a creepy appearance. This issue feels more like they are leading each into their own series, which I hope happens. I can't wait to read more adventures of these women.

Sexy Sunday: DC Comics Bombshells #14

The cover of DC Comics Bombshells #14 has the same Wonder Woman cover as #13, which is odd since she doesn't appear at all in this issue. Luckily, the contents page features Harley Quinn, who does appear in this issue.

The story actually picks up from #11 with Harley Quinn arriving at the English Channel, three miles from Calais, France in 1940. Tanks attack her stolen airplane and blows it up but she escapes by riding a bomb down.

She crashes into a greenhouse and the bomb ends up being a dud. Harley Quinn turns around to find Poison Ivy pointing a double barrel shotgun at her.

Poison Ivy takes her into her house and finds out that she is a smuggler. She confesses that she has at least three German soldiers buried under her greenhouse. The poisonous perfume that she made to kill them turned her skin green. A group of German soldiers arrive and Harley Quinn makes a giant homemade mallet. She greets one at the front door and hits him on the head with it. Unfortunately, there are more soldiers that chase her into the greenhouse. Of course, they fire their weapons at her and causes an explosion. Poison Ivy arrives in a truck and tells her to get in while the dead soldiers are walking about as zombies behind them.

Women Wednesday: Harley Quinn: Road Trip Special

There are several reasons why you should pick up Harley Quinn: Road Trip Special #1 (November 2015). First up is this cover featuring Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy:

The second reason is because of this cover featuring Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn and Catwoman in bikinis along with Bizarro sticking his head out of the trailer:

The third reason is because the story is full of fun and weirdness:

And the last reason is because Bizarro and Jimmy Olsen both show up:

Beware that this is not a kiddie book for there are some subtle nudity and adult humor in addition to the scantily clad women (I would rate this issue PG-13).

Women Wednesday: Convergence: Wonder Woman #1

The cover of Convergence: Wonder Woman #1 (June 2015) is downright spooky:

The issue starts with Diana waking up while Steve Trevor looks out the window at the pre-Crisis Gotham City. They talk about her doing outreach in the slums and Etta Candy joining a cult while being stuck under the dome for the past year.

Diana puts on her all white outfit and parts with Steve outside their apartment building. She goes to the slums to find Etta already helping an elderly woman, who want to attend the cult's church. Unfortunately, the old gal drops dead at the feet of the High Priestess. Diana starts to give a lecture about religious tolerance and she gets knocked out just when Telos starts his speech before he lifts the dome. She is taken to the church's dungeon and tied upside down.

Etta Candy goes for help and finds Steve Trevor. Diana regains her super strength when the dome disappears while three mysterious figures show up at the church. The sisters think they are the angels sent to save them. Candy and Steve find them with their necks ripped out. They then confront the mysterious figures that turn out to be the vampire versions of the Joker, Poison Ivy and Catwoman from the Red Rain universe.

The vampire Joker takes Etta away while leaving Steve to face the vampire women. Wonder Woman shoes up to help but he tells her to go save Etta, who has already been bitten. As soon as she leaves, the cult sisters attack him because they have risen as vampires.

I have to put Convergence: Wonder Woman #1 on my favorite list for this even since I love seeing superheroines in horror settings. The grayish tone of the artwork actually works here. I also noticed that Wonder Woman's lasso seemed to pop out on the page. I can't wait until next issue when Wonder Woman battles the vampire Joker.

Countdown to Halloween 2014 Day 14: Batman: Haunted Knight Halloween Edition

Batman: Haunted Knight trade paperback collects three stories that takes place on All Hallow's Eve. The Halloween Edition from 1996 features a spooky cover by Tim Sale featuring Batman surrounded by some of his villains: Poison Ivy, Joker, Mad Hatter, Scarecrow and Penguin.

My Thoughts On Gotham

I watched the encore presentation of FOX's Gotham earlier this evening. I have noticed a few things. Oswald aka the Penguin, Nigma aka the Riddler and the unnamed comic aka the Joker if that was indeed him are much older than Bruce Wayne while Selina Kyle aka Catwoman and Ivy Pepper aka Poison Ivy are closer to his age. Selina seems to be stalking Bruce so I hope she gets a more active role. I would also like to see more Alfred. James Gordon and Bullock were great for the former is the rookie while the latter is the veteran that is just trying to survive the corruption. Fish and Falcone are both strong characters and I can't wait to see more of them too. I do want to watch more even though Bruce may never actually don the Batman costume so I can't wait until next week's episode.

Women Wednesday: Poison Ivy Tree Poser

Yeah, I didn't post anything green for Saint Patrick's Day so consider this Poison Ivy as a way to make up for it:

Women Wednesday: Batgirl Annual #2 Cover

The cover of Batgirl Annual #2 features art by Clay Mann. The super heroine is tangled in the back bending vines of Poison Ivy:

The issue hits the newsstands on April 30, 2014. Gail Simone is the writer and Robert Gill is the interior artist for this issue from DC Comics.

T-Shirt Thursday: Poison Ivy Deadly Garden

I found this Poison Ivy Deadly Garden t-shirt at a local thrift store yesterday for a quarter:

Sorry about the crappy picture but the second attempt was even worse (I really miss my Olympus digital camera).

Women Wednesday: Kim Kardashian As Poison Ivy For Halloween

Kim Kardashian dressed up as Poison Ivy for a Halloween party this year:

You can view more pictures of her plus others in costume including Jonathan Cheban as Robin here.

Women Wednesday: Villainous Ladies Of Batman Live

These pictures are from the Batman Live Press Preview Clip 3, which you can watch here. The Joker not only introduces the Riddler and the Penguin but also Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and Catwoman. I really like the costumes and I have no problem with Harley looking different than she appears in the cartoons, comics and games.

Valentine's Day Countdown 2009: Poison Ivy Kissing Robin

Poison Ivy was played by the alluring Uma Thurman in Batman & Robin (1997). The scene of her kissing Robin (Chris O'Donnell) was pretty hot at the time. As an added bonus, she fights with Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone).
