How is it a bad idea? it's not like Bruce is going to run out of villains.

Because that's not who Poison Ivy is. Poison Ivy is someone who loves nature, and this obsession has driven her to misanthropy.

Turning her into a superhero would drastically change her character to the point where she's unrecognizable.

At the most she will be an anti-heroine. DC Superhero Girls is an exception where they are trying to portray her as an Elsa-type because she is the DC lady who best fits that character (introvert, beautiful, elegant, incredibly powerful, often misunderstood and has a sisterly dynamic with a goofier and lighter female character).

I don't see Ivy as either introverted OR misunderstood. She's a misanthrope, so she has no interest in socializing with her species, and she's rather clear in her goals.

Great all-ages Ivy dialogue.

The "loves nature" part is pretty much the one thing that is consistent when it comes to Ivy. Remember she started out as a misndrist murderess who had something of a crush on Batman. She wouldn't be that unrecognizable as a hero who defended nature.

Also, this is about the version that appears on a cartoon for kids. I doubt it will have much impact on the comics.

The sporelings turned out fine. Good job, Ivy.

Really cool to see the transactions of her experiment play out on the covers. That is what's going on, right? Almost like a flip book

I love this…Ivy always made me think of the vamp redheads featured in Klimt's work.

YOU'RE talking about the cartoon. I'm talking in general.

Also, I don't care if she's recognizable or not as a hero, or anti-hero. I'm saying she shouldn't be either.

She's not an anti hero in the comics right now either. One cartoon (which btw also has Harley and Cheetah as heroes) has presented her as such to little children. That's it.

Yamato USA's Poison Ivy sculpt, the latest in their DC Fantasy Figures line inspired by the art of Luis Royo:





Gotta love the product description that wouldn't seem out of place coming from Uma Thurman in Batman and Robin.

Look out world, Mother Nature has just got herself some muscle… oh, and some sexy curves!

If so, then let me entice you for a late night rendezvous, with me, Poison Ivy As an addition to Yamato USA Toys, DC “Fantasy Figure” collection, I can already feel your interest in me blossoming.
