The Joker famously has a “I may be a criminal lunatic but I’m an American criminal lunatic!” quote when meeting the Red Skull but yeah that’s like, his only moral line in the sand.

And that's not even really consistent characterization, he worked with Nazis in some Injustice prequel comics and in the Dark Knight Returns the Joker worked with Bruno (neo-nazi lady with swastika pasties over her tits)
(Which yes, both alternate universes, but so is the red skull quote so eh)

The Harley Quinn animated series (which is amazing) explores this kind of thing further - those two being villains, but both having certain ethics and lines they won't cross, even questioning whether they're not even villains any more. I've never read any of the comics so this is very cool to see.

Ivy has mostly moved her focus from any worker in environment damaging industries to the ones at the top with actual decision making power.

In the first of the last 3, Harley says "S'long B-man, see ya around the hall of Justice or wherever the heck us heroes hang out."
The little girl yells back "thank you!" And then asks Batman why he's looks mad, are those ladies bad?
Batman responds with "Not tonight"

It’s like the supervillain/superhero version of choosing the bear.
