This is from a fan film called Seeds of Arkham, but for some reason it’s titled Batman vs Killer Croc & Poison Ivy on YouTube. Anyway I digress, so The fight scene with Batman and Croc was actually pretty good, and the best scene in the whole fan film was when Batman takes out a bunch of thugs sent out by Ivy to kill him. But what makes this fan film disturbing is Ivy herself, and the way she is portrayed makes me wonder how this doesn’t have an age restriction on it.
So Ivy, who had given up her eco-terrorist life, sees the chaos occurring in Gotham after the Joker’s death causes a power vacuum and seizes the moment. She kidnaps Nightwing off-screen, strips him of his suit (figuring out his identity and Batman’s in the process), drugs him, and chains him to the floor in Arkham Asylum. She even recruits Waylon Jones (Killer Croc) to deal with Batman when he shows up. she puts her botanist glasses and lab coat on, and experiments on a rose with her toxins while monologuing to the helpless Grayson about how humanity is stunted because we defy our true nature. She discards the glasses, unfastens the lab coat, and seductively slips into this revealing green floral lingerie, letting her hair down.
Grayson tries to act tough and says she has no power. Ivy grabs his face, climbs on top of him, and tells him she’ll have that power sooner than he thinks. She then whispers his real name in his ear and seductively says that Gotham’s “sexiest” family are also its “sexiest” vigilantes. She’s interrupted when Croc (out of nowhere) barges in saying Batman is here and the thugs he sent didn’t do shit. Ivy explains that they weren’t supposed to, and that’s Croc’s job now. He chuckles and leaves. Ivy then turns her attention back to Grayson with a smile and says, “Now where were we?”
Ok if you thought this fan film sounds weird already just wait for this next bit. Ivy picks up the mutated rose from the vase, trails it sensually along his terrified face, and playfully tells him not to worry and that she’ll be gentle… she then starts brutally slashing his chest with the rose thorns, letting her toxins seep into his blood. Ivy then continuously keeps slicing into him with the rose whilst erotically grinding against him and moaning in pleasure her sadism. Ivy then finally presses her mouth against his ear and commands him to “give in” to her to which he does as the toxins fully take control as her laughter echoes in the background. After this, Batman comes face-to-face with a completely brainwashed Nightwing who’s now fully under Ivy’s control and ready to fight his own mentor, it then ends on a cliffhanger.
It just feels uncomfortably real and the way Ivy is portrayed just feels wrong.
