poison ivy (character)
bullet::::- pamela lillian isley (poison ivy): although poison ivy has been historically portrayed as a supervillainess, batman and poison ivy have worked together in achieving common goals and are frequently depicted as having a romantic relationship. while not at the same level as his relationship with catwoman, batman's attraction to ivy is present in some way. in her first appearance, poison ivy is established as having an attraction to batman, and tries to convince batman to join her side and creates love potions that ensnare him. in the 1989 story, "batman: poison ivy", christopher dejardin tries to kill ivy, and batman takes the bullet. batman, who was wearing body armor, knocks him out. ivy considers his saving her from death as proof he loves her, though he responds that that she doesn't know the meaning of the word. in "batman: hothouse" (1992), batman gains an obsession with isley. later, she kisses him. now completely deranged, ivy thinks herself "titania, queen of the may", and batman her oberon - as batman struggles with the hallucinations induced by the kiss, she pins him down and prepares to unmask him. with his last burst of strength, batman kicks the greenhouse's sprinklers on, washing away ivy's pheromones. the sobered batman chases an increasingly desperate ivy onto the greenhouse's catwalks, where he barely manages to save ivy from falling to her death. subsequently, ivy is returned to arkham asylum, her twisted love for batman stronger than ever. in one of the annuals of "", a mutual attraction between poison ivy and the batman is obvious right from the start. ivy considers batman "the perfect man", and in a conversation with his butler, alfred pennyworth, he admits to finding her attractive and more appealing than catwoman. in the 2004 story "", batman and ivy work together to find a killer carrying out a series of ivy-like murders at arkham. batman gets poisoned by the flowers, and he has to kiss poison ivy for the cure. ivy insists for him to trust her, despite batman's doubts. batman at first decides to punch her, hesitates, then willingly shares a kiss with her instead, curing him, but when — assuming batman dead — poison ivy tries to kill herself, once more insinuating that it is more than just lust she feels for him. later, ivy returns to arkham to finish her rehabilitation, but some "anonymous benefactor" makes sure her time there isn't as daunting as it might have been. ivy discovers that batman filled her cell with flowers as a gift. in "gothtopia", batman comes to her rescue when he realizes she was telling him the truth, even though he put her in arkham. first she punches him for not believing her claims, and then she kisses him for coming to her rescue, poisoning him with her mind control toxin. resisting it, he warns that they would be best off helping each other for now. thanks to her own resistance and the kiss he received, both batman and ivy become immune to scarecrow's gas effect.
