Just having her go after only rich industrialists doesnt make her a more interesting character. Ivy thrives on dominating men. She represents that dark fantasy that feminists dream of. The way i feel how Ivy should be potrayed is that if you have an alignment chart, you would have to rank Ivy as being more evil than Catwoman. The HQ shows intentionally write Ivy to be a more likable and mentally stable character (even more likable than Harley considering that Harley was responsible for mass killings while in comics Poison Ivy is responsible for carrying out schemes of mass poisoning)
ON FS GCS backup, not much really happening. Basically you have Cat doing heist with Ivy's help and then meeting a new character and then them returning to their hideout then cliffhanger.
Batman is not afraid to make things gory.
