Television[]

Live-action[]

• Poison Ivy appears in the live-action TV series Gotham, portrayed by Clare Foley (initially), Maggie Geha in season 3–4, and then by Peyton List in season 4's second half to season 5.^[1][2] This version is named Ivy Pepper^[3] and is depicted as the young daughter of Mario Pepper, a mentally unstable petty criminal who is framed for the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne. In the pilot episode, Detective Harvey Bullock kills her father during a shootout. Stricken with grief, her mother commits suicide and she is adopted by a couple who renames her "Pamela". After running away from her adoptive family, she befriends Selina Kyle, and becomes a skilled chemist, using plants and herbs to create mind-altering chemicals. In Season 3, Ivy has a brief encounter with Subject 514A and gets caught by Fish Mooney's minion Nancy when she tries to warn Selina. When Mooney unleashes the minion Marv on Ivy, she tries to get away. Marv's brief touch on Ivy accelerates her aging process until she transforms into a beautiful woman in her 20s after she fell into a sewer drain. After her transformation, she uses her beauty - and a pheromonal perfume - to seduce and rob wealthy men.^[4] Ivy eventually teams up with Oswald Cobblepot and helps form "an army of freaks", which includes Mr. Freeze and Firefly. At the end of the season, Penguin has Ivy and Freeze cryogenically freeze Edward Nygma, where she then helps Penguin build his new club, the Iceberg Lounge. In season 4, Ivy becomes tired of not being taken seriously and breaks into an apothecary shop and steals and drinks some mystical chemicals from the owner's safe, enhancing her abilities further. She later emerges from a cocoon with a completely new appearance and the ability to poison people with just a scratch from her nails. Ivy did perfect an antidote to this condition which she tested on Selina Kyle who agrees to help Ivy with her next plot. After abducting Lucius Fox following her light poisoning of Bruce Wayne, she has Lucius take her to where Project M is located where it was revealed to be water from the Lazarus Pit. Though she managed to use some leverage to get away from Gordon, she did leave an antidote for Bruce Wayne in Lucius' coat pocket. Ivy then enacts a plan to exact revenge on those who have wronged her, starting with Bullock, who killed her father on the job. Ivy comes to the bar where he works and poisons his employees. She then uses her mind control on him and orders him to call Gordon and then himself, though Gordon manages to break him out of the spell. After this, Ivy goes to the Wayne Foundation party with her new gang of mind controlled minions and holds everyone hostage. She poisons one wealthy man, before Gordon interrupts her and she orders her guards to kill everyone. She returns home to find Selina. They battle for the Lazarus water which Selina ends up destroying. As they were about to kill each other, they decide to go their separate ways hoping to never cross each other's paths. Ivy flees and is assumed to have gone into hiding. In the episode "Trespassers", Ivy has taken refuge in Robinson Park after Gotham City was declared No Man's Land. After Bruce helped to deal with her captors and revealing that the plants are feeding off the humans, Ivy gives Bruce a plant that would help deal with Selina's spinal injury. In the episode "The Trial of Jim Gordon", Ivy plans to prevent Gotham from reunifying with the mainland by ruining the water supply, cover the city in her plants, and get revenge for her father's death. She hypnotizes Victor Zsasz into shooting Gordon, critically injuring him. Ivy also hypnotizes Bruce and Fox into shutting down the river's treatment facility, but Selina frees them and helps stop the shutdown. Ivy goes the GCPD precinct to kill Gordon while he is recovering. Leslie Thompkins shoots her in the abdomen and Ivy escapes, having all aspects of her plan fail.

• In the Arrowverse Crossover event "Crisis On Infinite Earths" Hour two, a plant can be seen in a glass case of Earth-99 Batman's "Trophies" collected from villains he has killed. It can be assumed that this plant belongs to Poison Ivy.
• In the Batwoman episode "Kane, Kate", a brainwashed Kate Kane stole Batman's trophies belonging to his enemies from the Batcave which includes Poison Ivy's vine. In the season 2 finale episode "Power", her vine was thrown into the Gotham River along with Penguin's umbrella and the Mad Hatter's hat and seen reaching the shore before starting to grow. Ivy will appear in season 3 portrayed by Bridget Regan. ^[5]

Animation[]

• Poison Ivy appears in several series set in the DC Animated Universe, voiced by Diane Pershing:
  • 

    Ivy as she appeared in The New Batman Adventures.
    In Batman: The Animated Series, Poison Ivy first appears in "Pretty Poison", in which she makes an assassination attempt on Harvey Dent with a poisonous kiss as retribution for construction over the last habitat of a rare flower.^[6] In the earlier days, her metahuman characteristics (such as her immunity to toxins) were stated on many occasions, portraying her as a human with an extreme affinity for plants. She mentions in "House and Garden" where she ostensibly reforms that her hyper-immune system has left her unable to bear children. (Episodes 9 - Pretty Poison, 16 - Eternal Youth, 31 - Dreams in Darkness, 35 - "Almost Got 'Im", 47 - "Harley and Ivy", 66 - "House & Garden" and 69 - "Trial")^[7]
  • In The New Batman Adventures, Poison Ivy was aesthetically revamped to look more plant-like and her skin turning pale greenish-white.^[8] She also became more humorous and seductive in personality, coinciding with her genuinely friendly relationship with Harley Quinn. Her fanatical mindset regarding the despoiling of plants and the ecosphere was also greatly reduced.^[9]
  • Although Poison Ivy doesn't appear in Batman Beyond, a stage actress playing her in the musical theater play The Legend of Batman is seen in the episode "Out of the Past". Albeit the character doesn't physically appeared, when asked about Poison Ivy's fate, show's creator Paul Dini stated that Ivy moved to South America and took over the rain forest, being now part of the forest itself.^[10]
  • Poison Ivy returns in Static Shock. In the episode "Hard As Nails", she and Harley Quinn open a 'support and cure' website that would lure female metahumans to Gotham claiming that it's a clinic to cure metahumans. When Static pursues a classmate that calls herself Nails to Gotham, Static ended up running into Batman and ended up ambushed by Harley and Ivy. When it came to a heist upon a ship carrying gold, she and Harley double-cross Nails only for Static and Batman to save her. During the conflict, Static's powers couldn't work on Ivy's plants but weren't immune to Nails' claws. Ivy and Harley were defeated in the end.
  • Poison Ivy had a co-starring role in the Gotham Girls webtoon, in which she joins forces with Harley Quinn and Catwoman.
  • Poison Ivy is also seen in the Justice League animated series. In the episode "A Better World", an alternate universe version appears only once in a lobotomized form. She is a prisoner at Arkham Asylum and she is also allowed to work as the prison's gardener.

After the monstrous plants are returned to normal, Batman takes Poison Ivy back to Arkham Asylum.
• Poison Ivy is a main character in DC Universe's Harley Quinn animated series, voiced by Lake Bell.^[14] In this incarnation, she is much more sarcastic, cynical and modest, and the typically sultry aspects of her character have been toned down. Ivy is portrayed as Harley Quinn's best friend as she supports her in her goal of getting out of the Joker's shadow and becoming an independent supervillain, often acting as a voice of reason for Harley even though the latter never listens to her. In addition, she also has a talking man-eating plant named Frank (voiced by J. B. Smoove), whom she keeps as a pet and roommate. In the episode "The Line", she starts dating Kite Man, with their relationship developing over the course of the series, to the point where he asks her to marry him and she accepts.

Live-action[]

• Uma Thurman played Poison Ivy in the 1997 film Batman & Robin. Dr. Pamela Isley is a botanist, working for Wayne Enterprises' arboreal preservation project in South America. She is experimenting with Venom to create animal-plant cross-breedings capable of fighting back and protecting the world's plants from "the thoughtless ravages of man". However, her senior colleague, Dr. Jason Woodrue, steals some of her Venom samples in order to transform a prisoner into Bane. Isely is outraged that her research has been corrupted, and when she rejects Woodrue's advances, he tries to murder her by sending her crashing into shelves lined with beakers containing Venom and other animal-plant toxins and chemicals. She is transformed into a poisonous hybrid of human and plant. Replacing her blood with aloe, her skin with chlorophyll and filled her lips with venom, making her kiss poisonous. She kills Woodrue by kissing him with her poisonous lips, and vows to establish botanical supremacy over the world. She allies herself with Bane and Mr. Freeze, and plans to freeze the Earth with a giant freezing cannon, which will destroy the human race and enable Poison Ivy's mutant plants to "overrun the globe". She ensures Freeze's cooperation by pulling the plug on his cryogenically frozen wife, and convincing him that Batman had done it. Ivy then lures an infatuated Robin to her garden hideout and tries to kill him with a venomous kiss; the attempt fails, however, as Robin had coated his lips with rubber. A furious Ivy throws Robin into her lily pond and entangles Batman in her vines, but they are able to free themselves when Batgirl unexpectedly arrives and traps the villainess in her own floral throne. After Batman, Robin and Batgirl foil the villains' plan, Ivy is imprisoned in Arkham Asylum with a vengeful Freeze as her cellmate.^[15]

Lego DC series[]

• Poison Ivy is a playable character in Lego Batman: The Videogame with her sound effects done by Vanessa Marshall.^[29] Her abilities are double jump, immunity to toxins, poison kiss (which only works on enemies right in front of her), making guards open love doors (not mind-control), and she is the only character that can make plants grow. She works for the Riddler, and is the fourth boss of Chapter 1 "The Riddler's Revenge." She appears in the hero story right after Two-Face is defeated where she aids in the Riddler's escape from Batman and Robin by dropping a seed right in front of him and making a giant vine grow under his feet, lifting him onto a rooftop where Poison Ivy stands. In the Riddler's side of the story, the Riddler assigns her to get some mutated vine seeds from the Botanic Gardens. The two of them attempt to sneak past Commissioner Gordon. However, the Riddler learns the hard way that stepping on flowers provokes her, and makes her yell at him, getting Commissioner Gordon's attention. After they get the seeds, she stays with the plants, and plays with them, including hugging a tree and lying in falling, red flowers that form into a heart, but not before giving the Riddler the seeds. Back in Batman's side of the story, the dynamic duo finds her, and she drops 3 seeds on the ground; one of them grows into a tiny plant that barks like a puppy dog, but when Robin aims at it, it grows into a giant plant with Poison Ivy riding inside of it, starting the boss fight. The other seeds grow into monster plants as well, and they spit out seeds that become Poison Ivy's goons, and either hero has to attack them until they become lego pieces that they need to use to build bombs to blow one of the plants up (but the explosions can hurt the heroes too) and Poison Ivy moves into another. After the second plant blows up, Poison Ivy doesn't move into the third one, but she can't be damaged until that one blows up. After all her goons are gone, she can defeated simply by attacking her. After she's defeated, she appears to be injured, and Robin has compassion on her, and attempts to check on her. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a trick, and she has a flower spray love gas at him which makes him fall in love with her. Batman throws a Batarang at her, and tries to make Robin snap out of the love gas (which he does by himself when they chase the Riddler). In the ending cutscene, Poison Ivy is seen in her cell in Arkham Asylum caring for plants. She's the only female boss that's not featured as a miniboss.
• Poison Ivy appears in Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, voiced by Laura Bailey. In the third level, "Arkham Asylum Antics" she rides around on Bane's Mole Machine along with the Penguin and Bane himself. She appears as an optional boss. Once again, she is fought at the Botanic Gardens. Before the fight, she whips a vine around and says, "It's time to go green."
• Poison Ivy appears as a playable character in Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, voiced by Tara Strong. She appears in side quests alongside Swamp Thing. A trophy on the PlayStation 3 version, "Queens of Crime," requires the player to set both free play characters as her & Harley Quinn. This is also the first & currently only Lego Batman game that doesn't feature her as a boss.
• Poison Ivy appears in Lego Dimensions. She is featured in The Lego Batman Movie adventure pack as the second boss. She is voiced once again by Tasia Valenza.
• Poison Ivy appears as a both a main character and a boss in Lego DC Super-Villains, with Tasia Valenza reprising her role. She first appears in the level “The Harley and the Ivy”, when while The Rookie, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and Killer Frost head to Botanic Gardens to recruit her to help the Legion of Doom, she mistakes them for trespassing and attacks. However, they eventually tell her it was all a misunderstanding and she helps them get to the top of the Gala Communications Tower so Harley Quinn can show proof that the Crime Syndicate of America are actually villains using her phone. ^[30]

Batman: Arkham[]

Poison Ivy appears in the Batman: Arkham series voiced primarily by Tasia Valenza.^[31]

• Poison Ivy makes her first appearance in Batman: Arkham Asylum. This iteration's appearance is revamped to a naked-goddess persona, wearing only an orange prison-issued shirt and foliage panties, and her appearance is also more plant-like having green skin, with vine-like growths and leaves on her body. She acts as the penultimate boss. She first appears in the Penitentiary, begging to be released from her cell so she can help her "babies"; she can apparently feel the pain Doctor Young inflicted on the island's plants while creating a Venom-plant hybrid in order to create the Titan drug. She is later released by Harley Quinn, after which she makes a beeline for the Botanical Gardens. Batman later tracks her down. After some convincing (by way of crushing one of her vines when it tries to attack), she tells Batman that the molds growing in Killer Croc's lair can be used to create a Titan antidote. After Batman leaves, the Joker arrives and gives Poison Ivy a double-dose of Titan, causing her plants to sprout up randomly and grow to massive proportions, wreaking havoc across the island and destroying the makeshift Batcave in the sewer systems. When Batman returns to stop her, Poison Ivy attacks with ground vines, spore projectiles, hypnotized guards, and an enormous mutated plant-monster. Batman eventually defeats her, and she can later be seen being returned to her cell.
• Poison Ivy makes her next appearance in Batman: Arkham City. Her design remains the same except for a crimson colored shirt. She has taken up residence in an abandoned hotel within Arkham City's districts, isolating herself from humanity and relying on thugs seduced with plant toxins for protection. Late in the game's storyline, Poison Ivy forges a shaky alliance with Catwoman in return for an unusual favor following a brief fight. She promises support from mutated plants if Catwoman will break into Hugo Strange's heavily guarded TYGER vault and recover a rare flower which was seized from her upon incarceration. After the player has successfully completed this stage however, Catwoman spitefully reneges on their agreement by destroying the plant rather than attempt escape with it. Poison Ivy is misled into blaming Strange for this calamity and subsequently swears revenge on Gotham City. Her plant shop she owned in her former life can also be located in Arkham City, serving an actual purpose during one of Catwoman's gameplay missions. Poison Ivy also appears in Batman: Arkham City Lockdown, voiced by Amy Carle.
• Pamela Isley is alluded in Batman: Arkham Origins. She is hinted at when the player locates a plant shop owned by her. It is assumed she has yet to undergo her Poison Ivy transformation during this game's time period. The DLC "Cold Cold Heart" also alluded to her via her ID at GothCorp's check-in area.
• Poison Ivy next appears in Batman: Arkham Knight. Her design has been altered: her long hair has been cut short and tied above her head, her pigmentation is now a light tint of the color, giving her a more human appearance. Originally, as seen in Harley Quinn's story mission, she was first imprisoned at the Blüdhaven police station, but was soon rescued when Harley fought the entire police department, as well as Nightwing. Poison Ivy attended Scarecrow's meeting with the other villains, but refused to join in. As a result, Scarecrow had her knocked out and placed in gas chamber to have the new Fear Toxin used on her. However, Batman knocks out the guards and Poison Ivy proves immune to the toxin, allowing Batman to take her to the Isolation Cell at the GCPD. Batman is forced to work together with her in order to stop Scarecrow's citywide fear toxin by helping her awaken two ancient trees that had long since gone dormant. She helps save the city, but sacrifices her life in the process. She dies and disintegrates in Batman's arms after her final act of redemption, stating 'Nature... always... wins". Later in the game, a red flower can be found on the location of her death.

Injustice[]

• Poison Ivy is alluded in Injustice: Gods Among Us. One of her poisonous plants is an interactable item in the Arkham Asylum stage. Poison Ivy is seen as an unplayable support card in the game's iOS version depicted with her New 52 look, and is mentioned on different S.T.A.R. Labs missions.
• Poison Ivy appears as a playable character in Injustice 2, once again voiced by Tasia Valenza. In the game's story mode, she allies herself with the Society to take over the planet, disappointed that Batman's reform from the Regime wasn't environmentally friendly. She battles her fellow Gotham City Sirens, Harley Quinn and Catwoman (or Cyborg depending on who the player chooses). In her single player ending, Poison Ivy makes Brainiac collect every city on Earth, then kisses Brainiac, killing the Coluan with her poison. She then uses the Earth's plant life to rule the planet.

Miscellaneous[]

• Poison Ivy appears in "The Flower Girl", a story in Batman Adventures vol. 2, #16. In the story, Poison Ivy is dying from the effects of her own toxins, and makes her way to Dr. Holland, who is practicing science in a remote rural cottage. She pleads with Holland to save her life, but he explains to her that there is nothing he can do. Shortly after, she dies in his arms, and collapses into a pile of dead plants. Moments later, another Pamela Isley, whose character design matches her appearance in Batman: The Animated Series, appears. She states that the Ivy who died is a vegetable creature that she had created as a distraction for Batman, in order to start a new life.
• The character also co-starred in the three-issue comic book miniseries Harley and Ivy, and was given her swan song in The Batman Adventures comic book series, which contains stories about Batman's adventures in Gotham City after a break from the Justice League.
• Poison Ivy is portrayed by Jaime Lyn Beatty in StarKid Productions' web-musical, Holy Musical B@man!.
• Poison Ivy also appears in the Catwoman^[32] novel, part of the series.
