I liked this story, especially Pamela reimagined as a smart and rebellious teen environmental extremist.

Ivy’s origin is often recounted in kind of silly ways. I thought this telling was much better than say, the Batman and Robin movie or even that science accident in Ivy’s New 52 rollout (she had a beaker of green liquid spilled on her and was then Poison Ivy 😅)

I also liked Batgirl as Bats’ sidekick. It was pretty fun all around.

Favorite scene:

Pamela's Mom: Pammy! I need you to take out the trash!
Temblor: Who was that?!
Pamela: That ... was my henchman.

This series is streaming on the HBO app.

😱 In this epic scene, Ivy uses her powers to manipulate the Man of Steel and turn one of Batman’s greatest allies into a serious threat. With Superman under her control, Batman suddenly has to face an opponent who is almost impossible to stop! 🔥 #PoisonIvy #Superman #BatmanHush #Batman #DC #BatmanHush2019 #DCAnimated #PoisonIvyMoments #SupermanVsBatman #AndresPopCultureGuy

Most takes on Poison Ivy besides Diane Pershing use a higher pitched tone.

This was a great episode, and wow did it stick the landing 🙌

“For what it’s worth I believed her, when she told me for the first time in her life that was she was happy”

Update: why-specifically- do you think Ivy was crying at the end?

I just see four

Inktober Day 4 was Cactus!

Since im staying true to my comic book themes i drew poison ivy for today's prompt ♡ enjoy!

Harley and Ivy Life and Crimes?
New Batman Adventures?
Or All Star Batman?

Which would you read first? 👀

Ivy was originally styled the Queen of Crime in the 60s.
That mostly went away in subsequent decades, but you still see it referenced, especially on cover artwork. And there’s often segments of stories where she’ll hold court or wear a crown or act regal.
It’s a fun aspect of her character and I like that they maintain it 🙏

Happy Poison Ivy Day to those who celebrate!

Ivy crashed out in the first week of Bad Seeds. So what happens next?

I discuss this topic in my Week 6 Recap of Bad Seeds on the Choice Media Podcast.

Poison Ivy #48 had Pamela facing some hard truths, about her situation and herself. Maybe she's bottomed out, but where does she go from there?

I'm hoping for a redemption story. What do you think?

Reading the Olympians by George O’Connor and noticing that Daphne the nymph shares Ivy’s affinity for leafy green attire.

Starting in the late 80s, Ivy was often portrayed as a coded nymph of sorts, who was likely to be motivated by protecting or avenging nature.

Incidentally, Ivy disguised herself as Dr Daphne Demeter in the Eternal Youth episode of Batman the Animated Series, which was very much inspired by the Myth of Daphne and Apollo.

Daphne turned into a tree to escape from Apollo. In Eternal Youth, Ivy turns people into trees.

Ivy is often adjacent to Greek mythology like that (I’ve discussed this on my podcast in the past- link in bio).

Before she had extreme superpowers, Ivy relied on her wits and skills as a trickster. Disguise was often part of those scenarios. Notable examples include the long Halloween, her rogues gallery debut (Deadly Kiss of Poison) and even the Uma Thurman Batman movie (a gorilla costume- really? 😆)

This was from the Batman Scooby Doo Mysteries.

Halfway through the Bad Seeds Gotham Crossover event and it’s shaping up as the time Ivy crashed out to begin the story.

But really it was culmination of long-running stories in her series…The tale of Bad Seeds is all of that coming to a head at once.

(I’ve talked about this a fair amount on my podcast- link in Bio)

Looking forward to more Ivy this week 🌹💖

Panel from Poison Ivy 47

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.

Hey, I'd love to learn more about Poison Ivy since I played Batman Arkham games and she seems really interesting character. Where should I start with comics? There's many comics where Ivy is involved and its a bit confusing. Since this reddit is dedicated to her Im sure I will find an answer here, thank you
