The plan, Robert, is that the writters and editors at DC don't want to take up fucking fan fiction tier shipping up on their already shit selling comics, and they are trying whatever they can to clean slate one of their few new characters that has the potential to be a bigger hit in term of profit while they scramble to keep their comic business alive.
Harley Quinn might be popular in the internet sphere, but obviously that ain't translating in comic and movie sales. And to make the fucking character work, any writter worth their salt won't be using "internet shipping" to propel interest when the whole "Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy bumping rugs" is as old and tired as the batman animated series episode that gave this impression to the idiots of the world.
Not to mention it's low ball pandering, and blame the "gator incels" all you want Robert, but this lesbian diversity shit ain't working, the public just ain't showing up, and I think DC can't aford to risk to play this game anymore.
Marvel is going to be fine, even if they don't turn a profit, Disney ain't afraid to spend some cash to keep appearances, and Marvel comics is just a blip on their radar... But DC's new overlords At&T... Yeah, those guys don't fuck around, and DC's editor in chief have been claiming to be scared shitless quite a few times by now, and if things continue like this, DC comics will be doing nothing but re-print watchman and Dark knight returns books.
