All before wokeness got worse -- I'd like to point to the episode "Ivy and Harley" in Batman: The Animated Series. I always had a thing for Joker and Harley (which I believe brought out the best development out of the Joker) or I've always had shipped Batman x Poison Ivy. I even felt that Batman: The Animated Series could've created a love triangle between Catwoman and Poison Ivy for Batman!
As I rewatched the series on Netflix (which will be there for a limited time) -- I rewatched "Ivy and Harley". Harley has a toxic romantic relationship with the Joker. Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker even hints that Harley and Joker had at least one child decades prior. I was looking at the angle of the two women. Harley had a bad breakup with the Joker. Meanwhile, I feel that Poison Ivy's toxic infatuation with Batman (pun intended) could've been brought up.

The episodes "Pretty Poison "and "Eternal Youth" point to Poison Ivy's villainous crush -- something I wish that could've been fleshed out. Unfortunately, Poison Ivy's characterization goes from anti-villain to simply joining the bad guys and then anti-villain again. I would think about it as an episode of two women spurned. Harley had a fight with the Joker. Poison Ivy should've remained obsessed with Batman. Poison Ivy probably needs a few daydreaming episodes where she and Batman have a family together! The same could go for Harley. I want to believe the Dee Dee twins are actually Joker's grandchildren.
I could imagine as Harley having nowhere to go. Meanwhile, Poison Ivy is up to her save the environment. Poison Ivy would be going against the museum for its reckless waste dumping. However, Poison Ivy is still in love with the Batman. Make it an episode where two women spurned. Poison Ivy's hideout should be a garden -- not some toxic dump! Poison Ivy and Harley probably should argue over their lovelife. Have Harley make fun of Poison Ivy's crush on Batman. Poison Ivy might say, "Can I help it if I love him like you love the joker?"
The alliance could be shaky at best. Poison Ivy would end up breaking it up. Poison Ivy would end up being the reason why it ends. Poison Ivy would assist Batman in stopping the reunited Joker and Harley. Poison Ivy hands herself over to the female police officer. Poison Ivy tries to kiss Batman for the nth time.
At the end scene, Poison Ivy and Harley have another argument. Joker is all locked up in a straitjacket. Poison Ivy and Harley are working in the gardens. It'd be interesting if Poison Ivy would get mad at Harley and say, "Well, Batman's still better than the Joker!" towards the end.
