Gotham Ghouls is the single story of Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #12, by DC Comics.

Premise[]

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, two Gotham City supervillains, call on Mystery Inc. when they think they've been cursed by a relic they stole.

Synopsis[]

Mystery Inc. travels to Gotham City because of a summons they seemingly received from Batman. However, they were met not by Batman, but by Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. They try to run, but are easily caught by Ivy's vines. Harley claims that the villains don't want to hurt the detectives, but ask them for help. After all, they were the ones who sent the note after all. They had heard of the Scooby Gang from Harley's boyfriend, the Joker, who they had crossed in the past. Anyways, Harley and Ivy had stolen the cursed Ancient Opal of Osiris weeks prior, and since then they had been caught in all their schemes. Just after the explanation, a ghost appeared, wanting the opal. The ghost quickly disappeared, and Mystery Inc. started to look around. Fred claims that the ghost may be a real ghost, but Mystery Inc. believed that Batman was the culprit.

Suspicious, Poison Ivy threatened Shaggy, as the ghost catchers showed up just before the ghost had. Then, the ghost appeared, and Shaggy unmasked it, claming that it was Batman. However, the ghost was Catwoman, not Batman. Catwoman wanted the opal because it was a cat's-eye opal. Catwoman stole it from Harley and tried to escape, but was stopped by Poison Ivy. Catwoman broke out and began to fight with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. After Harley stopped Mystery Inc. from leaving, the ghost showed up again, confusing everyone as Catwoman was still unmasked and thus, not the ghost. Everyone went off in a panic, except Daphne.

Daphne calmed everyone down, stole the opal from Catwoman, and gave it to the ghost. The ghost unmasked itself, only to reveal Batgirl, who Daphne recognized due to her yellow gloves. Batgirl froze Poison Ivy solid, tied up Catwoman, and knocked out Harley Quinn with her own mallet. The opal was retrieved, and the villains were tied up.
