I'm honestly conflicted on using Marcus as a villain if they will go down that road I think writers just want a sibling rivalry
I was surprised when they introduce professor pyg a batman villain that most people don't know about I know him because of the video game Arkham Knight still cool using him
So Mary is infected by poison ivy vine I hope this doesn't mean she gotta turn evil like making one of the sweetest person evil is such a cliche but it's does make her reason behavior possible
Also Ryan and Sophie they just kiss already I was screaming at my screen
Anyway I like this episode and your reaction

Renee and Poison Ivy are not connected in the comics. Ivy was turned into a superhuman by her creepy professor, Jason Woodrue (future villain, the Floronic Man). Ivy did have a college girlfriend, Bella Garten/The Gardener, who later became an eco-terrorist using plant/animal hybrids. Comics Pamela Isley's college friends included Bella, Alec Holland (future Swamp Thing), Linda Olsen Ridge (Alec's future wife who dies in his origin story), Susan Linden (future hero, Black Orchid), Philip Sylvain (Susan's boyfriend and creator of several plant/human clones of Susan who became heroes called Black Orchid). It's a real who's who of plant people.

Here's a fun fact I've been saving since season 1, Mary is technically an adaptation of Mary Elizabeth "Bette" Kane. However outside of the Mary name they have nothing really in common. Bette was introduced in 1961 as Batgirl (6 years before Barbara Gordon was created, so Bette is the original Batgirl) but didn't get used very often. Bette's a founding Teen Titan and was later retooled into the heroine Flamebird. Bette's the niece of Kathy Kane (the original comic book Batwoman) and also the cousin of Kate Kane (the second Batwoman), she's also Bruce's cousin. The Kane family tree in the comics is a weird semi-incestuous pile of retcons. Bette and Kathy had a positive mentor/sidekick dynamic. I can't say the same for Kate and Bette, Kate treated her terribly, at one point Kate burned her superhero costume to teach her a lesson. Anyway, I love Bette Kane and wish DC used her more. I also love Mary even though she's a terrible adaptation of Bette.

Here are the breakdowns of some of Alice's possible suspects for whip ownership
Shelly Gaynor/The Whip is a DC superhero, she was part of the Seven Soldiers of Victory for about one mission before she died. She was descended from an old Western hero, Rodrick Gaynor/The Whip. She's a pretty obscure character and contrary to the show, she was not a villain.
Alice's "I thought heroes didn't do that sort of thing" at Batman/Catwoman is a reference to the debacle in the Harley Quinn animated series where the writers wanted Bruce to go down on Selina but DC said "Heroes don't do that sort of thing" and then DC got made fun of (Zack Snyder got in on it by sharing a piece of art showing Batman going down on Catwoman. It was a great day on twitter.
And Batwoman and Gotham were to have a connection earlier, back in Elseworlds, CW reached out to Fox to try and get the bat signal from an episode of Gotham but it didn't happen.
Jada Jet and the Black Glove Society are both existing comic characters. Jada is loosely based on the supervillain Jezebel Jet (renamed because calling a black woman "jezebel" is not a good look) who was an ex-girlfriend of Bruce's who was secretly working for the League of Assassins. The Black Glove Society was secretly part of the League the whole time. The show did something very different with them and honestly I prefer the show version of Jada over the comic version.

So typically in shows that feature more than one central lesbian/bi character (most shows only have one main queer character with their love interest either recurring/being replaced seasonally) often code them into femme and butch to help distinguish them. Femme is all dresses/girly while butch is more tomboy/pants. However something I love about this show (and Legends) is that they don't rely on those stereotypes (for instance, Sara & Ava's first date and their s4 tango had them both wear dresses). Supergirl for instance did femme/butch with Alex (butch) and Kelly (femme).
