With cringe-inducing, male-gazey designs, bad dialogue, and poor characterization, the Batman: Arkham games wasted their cast of female villains.
The Batman: Arkham series has earned a reputation for a poor portrayal of its female characters, especially Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy. Whereas the games go to great lengths to portray its male heroes and villains with all the subtleties and nuance fans expect from their comic counterparts, those things are lost when it comes to the female villains, who are shown as paper-thin caricatures of themselves. Harley Quinn, especially, is misrepresented in these games.
The Batman: Arkham games have always asserted themselves to be their own separate interpretation of the Batman universe. While always striving to be accurate in spirit, Batman: Arkham 's story and timeline diverge wildly from every other interpretation of the Dark Knight. A shame, then, that the games' interpretation of Batman's most popular female characters are so underwhelming.
Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn in the Arkham games are little more than scantily clad archetypes of the characters they're adapting. From their design to their animation and dialogue, nothing about the Arkham versions of these characters suggests anything deeper going on. While Poison Ivy would get some much-needed vindication in Arkham Knight , Catwoman and Harley are left as flat, boring, one-note characterizations.
Whereas the Arkham games expanded the male villains' personality and methods to both better suit its medium and to differentiate them from other iterations - Batman: Arkham City making Penguin more monstrous , to give an example - this courtesy is not extended to its female villains. The closest example of this being done for the women in these games is Poison Ivy, who dies a hero in Arkham Knight . Even with that, however, the previous two games that featured her portrayed her as little more than a sexy femme fatale. While that is an aspect of her character, there was almost none of the brilliant scientist or the determined ecoterrorist that also defines her character in other media.
While Arkham City and Arkham Knight mostly nailed Catwoman's casually flirtatious dynamic with Batman, it also went too far with having her be sexy (and little else) basically all of the time. This is especially egregious in how she fights, with Catwoman kissing Batman: Arkham thugs as she counterattacks . Add onto that the terrible dialogue between her and Poison Ivy during an early-game fight sequence in Arkham City (perhaps even more dismal on Poison Ivy's side), and you get a portrayal that is frustrating, to put it mildly.
The worst portrayal, however, goes to Harley. The Batman: Arkham games portray one of the most complex and multilayered Batman characters as nothing more than a scantily clad annoyance. Even putting aside the terrible outfits, the games just have her too defined by her obsession with the Joker, something the comics and other media have been trying to shake off for years, and the way she's talked about by other characters in the game world, including thugs in the Joker and Penguin camps, never feels far above crude and belittling.
The most baffling part about the portrayal of these characters is that Arkham Asylum and City were both written by Paul Dini, who created Harley Quinn and has shown to be very good at writing Poison Ivy and Catwoman. But between the dialogue, Harley and Catwoman character designs that aged poorly , and the lack of respect shown by the overall narrative, these are far from the best portrayals of these iconic characters. Hopefully future DC video game projects like Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League will learn from Batman: Arkham 's mistakes and give the franchise's female characters the depth and nuance they deserve.

Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy have lengthy comic histories which have brought them together on more than one occasion.
Having a friend during times of hardship benefits fictional characters as much as it does real people. In fact, the latter are able to further understand their own relationships through the former going through catastrophe after catastrophe, decade after decade.
A case in point is Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, the real dynamic duo of DC Comics. Since Harley left the Joker in the rearview, her relationship with Pamela Isley has been an emotional anchor for the character whereas Poison Ivy retains a piece of her humanity through her friend. Both Harley and Ivy have lengthy comic histories which have brought them together on more than one occasion to the delight of readers.
Bruce Wayne's death leaves an enormous vacuum in Gotham City, one that nearly the entirety of his vigilante family tries to fill. A new hero also means a new dynamic with their predecessor's rogues' gallery, and the Riddler is on the case in Christopher Yost and Pablo Raimondi's Battle for the Cowl: The Underground .
Tagging along is Harley Quinn, who is terrified when Poison Ivy arrives and nearly kills Riddler in defense of her friend until she's clued into their partnership. Ivy had been controlled by Black Mask via certain chemicals on her body but had managed to reject his influence and find Harley. They end up on Catwoman's trail after she is knocked unconscious by the new Batman, secretly Wayne's troubled protégé, Jason Todd .
In a prelude to the Gotham City Sirens, Derek Fridolfs and Peter Nguyen's Bruce Wayne: The Road Home: Catwoman sees Selina Kyle and Poison Ivy attend a meeting of criminals that features an auction.
A goldmine for someone like Selina, she is somewhat disappointed when Harley crashes the party in pursuit of her stolen hyenas and diverts Ivy's attention through a scuffle with security. The two cannot resist an opportunity to give each other an up in life. The story ends with Catwoman nabbing her prize, a cat statue, with assistance from Harley and Ivy, and practically begs for the three to reunite for more mischief.
A Gotham without Batman needs protectors... aside from that, it's simply more dangerous for one to live in the city; it's with this fear that Catwoman proposes an alliance with Harley and Ivy. Paul Dini and Guillem March's Gotham City Sirens follows the trio's escapades following this momentous decision and with it, gives rise to a fan-favorite team of Gotham's greatest female characters.
It would end tragically with Harley betraying her friends for Joker, but remains a significant bright spot before the timeline-altering events of Flashpoint .
The dawn of the new continuity brings about opportunities for the creators to refine and refocus on what makes DC characters precious to fans. Embracing the chemistry between Harley and Ivy, Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner pair the two for a poorly-executed attempt at animal liberation in Harley Quinn #2.
Animals slated for euthanization are set loose by the duo only to run freely into the streets in every direction. Harley tangles with a bounty hunter, courtesy of a contract on her head, and incidentally draws the freed animals back to her by hurling the hunter through a butcher shop window. Ivy retrieves the cats and birds with a little help from her plants and this chaotic episode is temporarily put on hold.
Concerned with the attempt on Harley's life during the animal shelter incident, the duo tries to uncover the source of the bounty placed on her head. Their mission is constantly interrupted by assassins making a play on Harley's life, but Palmiotti and Conner once again subvert readers' expectations with the truth. Harley Quinn #6-7 reveals, following an exhaustive search, that Harley is placing the bounty herself. During the night, she sleepwalks to her laptop and issues the hit on her own head.
The two decide to turn the tables, going after the bounty hunters at a guild meeting. Instead, Harley confesses the bogus bounty and only has to put one assassin down before the rest decides to forfeit their attempts at the hit. Fortunately, Big Tony is the one who pulls the trigger and saves Harley from having to lift even a finger. Characteristically chaotic, dark, and funny at the same time, this is quintessential Harley and Ivy.
Befitting the characters' respective conditions and histories, it's perhaps only more fitting that their stories begin to suffer calamity in the end. Tom King and Clay Mann dream up a poignant narrative in Heroes In Crisis where the Justice League found a psychiatric hospital, the Sanctuary, which offers mental health treatment for superhumans suffering from trauma. Ivy seeks help at the facility at Harley's insistence but is killed during a massacre there.
A wonderful addition to DC canon and touching that it stars cult favorites, Harley and Ivy, this story arc demonstrates the strength of the love between the two characters. Ivy eventually returns with help from Wally West and a rose she gifted Harley, poetically reuniting the kooky couple once more.

❝ Also, I actually identify as an eco-terrorist so... ❞
— Poison Ivy to Tawny Young [src]


❝ Harley , I love you in... sigh... in a very odd, hard-to-articulate way. And if you just stopped sabotaging yourself... the world would be yours. ❞
— Poison Ivy to Harley


❝ No! Not this time, Harley. I have done everything in my power to keep you away from that ass clown because I truly believe that you deserve better. But you know what? I am done believing in someone who just doesn't believe in herself. ❞
— Ivy to Harley


❝ WE'RE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE. FUCK OFF ❞
— Gus texting Harley on Ivy's phone


❝ Harls, this was your chance to control the city, but now instead of like five big assholes trying to run Gotham, we've got a thousand little assholes to deal with. ❞
— Ivy


❝ Yeah, we did it, okay? We teamed up to kill your pathetic asses 'cause you deserved it. And one day, we're gonna finish the job ❞
— Ivy confesses


❝ You know what? Fuck you guys. Yeah, I said, fuck you. Because first of all, I'm the one who messed up the goddamn reservation, okay. Chuck asked me several times not to forget, because for some reason he cares about you two. And then, he took the heat
