Gotham wants in on the current Harley Quinn craze. “We’ll be seeing proto-versions of some of those characters”. Proto-versions of folks like Killer Croc and Harley Quinn will be just that and should avoid confusion with their silver screen counterparts. “And we’ll be seeing a character – perhaps not this season, but in times to come – who can be a forerunner for Harley Quinn”, Stephens added.

While it was speculated that the older actress replaced Foley to show a progression in the timeline, there will be no time jump featured in the upcoming season. “It’s a natural continuation of that in season three”.
Executive producer John Stephens explained that the transformation had to happen to establish the future development of Poison Ivy’s character in the series. “We hope to see her return in the second half of the season”.
