Really want to read this series, but I'm trade-waiting for the softcovers. So I'll be a good 2 years behind.
Comics were definitely happier, breezier and more confident in their own strengths before Hollywood and the Internet turned the business of writing superhero stories into the production of low budget storyboards or, worse, into conformist, fruitless attempts to impress or entertain a small group of people who appear to hate comics and their creators. -- Grant Morrison, 2008
trade-waiting - Ice Cream Man, Monstress
backlog - Blade of the Immortal, Mignolaverse, Promethea, X-Cutioner's Song
That scene felt more about how Ivy interpreted things over what actually happened. Yeah, her trying to approach him and persuade him was the smart move, but she already burned that bridge when she fought Batman and Robin and manipulated the cops. Between all that and the way she was touching him near the end, I don't blame Batman for thinking she was trying to seduce him. Also, he's a bit green (heh) himself at that point, so his harshness towards her could be chalked up to his own inexperience.
Also, we know that Pam hasn't written him off as much as she says either. She calls that encounter "bittersweet" more than outright bad. She still went to him for help (both in her imagination and in reality) and still thought he'll see things her way one day.
I was a little disappointed it was her B:TAS costume instead of her first appearance one, but she still looked very good! Also liked the page where she awakens her powers.Also this issue convinced me there is no topping the classic Poison Ivy costume.

Fair. And it's not like she was really coming around, it was more like "I'm an eco-terrorist, you put fear into criminals, aren't we basically the same?"
Though it does make her come off a bit like someone who wanted a relationship, got rejected, and was a bit bitter about it .
Yeah, I think the closest I've seen to someone drawing her original comic look was Dan Mora in World's Finest.I was a little disappointed it was her B:TAS costume instead of her first appearance one, but she still looked very good! Also liked the page where she awakens her powers.
So is that how they'll fix fungal Ivy? Killing her. Poor Pam has died a lot lately lol.
Hopefully this is not the last issue. I'm loving this series and would be excited to see a more normal Ivy.

Other ending series were a bit more explicit about the series ending so I figure that this one will keep going.
