Poison Ivy Wallpaper

About one month ago I posted an Ivy wallpaper I have made:
https://www.reddit.com/r/batman_comics/comments/1azple7/poison_ivy_wallpaper/

I have updated it and I want to share it with you all. I made the colors more vibrant using shadow and contrast edited in GIMP. The white background became dark, so the edges had to be redone. The flowery background was taken from the cover of the 'Legends of the Dark Knight: Hot House #42' comic. It consists of 8 stripes of the same image positioned in different directions and orientations to give a sense of continuity. Many connections between them were drawn by me. The images were obtained from a manually digitized comic. Therefore, they had a lot of aliasing and low resolution. All pixels were recreated using Upscayl software, which uses AI in this process, and applies several filters such as noise smoothing and sharpening. The first and second images had different lighting and color tones. I did the best I could to match.

The first image has been changed (page 27 of 'Shadow of The Bat Annual #3'). I edited it's text to be more objective.
The original text was:

  1. "You have been infected by a FUNGAL POISON I perfected. Usually, it is FATAL -- but fortunately, you have the MILD form of the disease... easily CURED by the liquid in THIS bottle!

  2. the quicker you give my men all you CASH, CHECKS, CREDIT CARD and JEWELRY, that quicker I will give you the ANTIDOTE!

FULL HD resolution (prefer this one)

What's your opinion on I2 Poison Ivy?

I personally had mixed feelings, but I liked her personality and her ruthlessness. Design wise she’s really pretty! I wish they played more with the flowers but it’s fine as it is.

The two Ivys situation

Can someone help me with the "two Ivys situation"? I wanted to read the new Poison Ivy solo series, and even though I should be able to understand the story, I decided to read what happened before to get some context. I've read Heroes in Crisis, Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy series, Catwoman Vol. 5 and 6. Now, I'm at the beginning of Batman: Fear State saga.

At the end of the Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy series, I thought Ivy emerged with her other half, and I had no reason to think otherwise when I was reading Catwoman comics. However, in Fear State saga, there are still two versions of her.

My question is: Did I miss something? Is it explained later? Or is it explained in some other comics than those I listed?

What Part of Batman does Poison Ivy Reflect?

It’s been said that every good Batman villain is an extreme perversion of at least one element of who Batman is, but I can’t think of what element Poison Ivy would be reflecting. I don’t wanna believe that she’s stood the test of time just because of her sexiness factor because I know she’s more than that, so what part of Batman do you believe she reflects?

Thoughts on Ivy moving away from being a seductress?

Do you like the current approach to Ivy in the comics, where she’s moved away from being the femme fatale/vamp seductress as much as she used to be? Would you like for her character to step away from being a femme fatale for good altogether?

Four Ideas for Ivy

(Disclaimer: I haven't ready any of the comics. I only have the films, games, and my '''trustworthy''' friend Wikipedia to rely on)

So it's my opinion that the Scarecrow and Poison Ivy are the two members of Batman's rogues gallery with the most character potential to mine.

I wanted to share some ideas here for, shall we say, REIMAGINING aspects of Ivy's character in a way to further explore interesting concepts and ideas through storylines involving her.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Without further ado, allow me to briefly summarise each of my four ideas:

  1. Ivy as purely an anti-hero: I think that, given the current climate around environmental discourse (no pun intended), it would be more interesting to explore an Ivy who doesn't delve into a fanatical, highly destructive villain who pursues her environmental goals. I think framing her more as a questionable anti-hero (maybe in a manner similar to Red Hood) would open more possibilities for where to take her character.

  2. Exploration of masculinity and feminity: I think that the relationship between Batman and Ivy is interesting beyond the classic femme fatale/vamp trope. For one, it's interesting to see it from her perspective where there is both an attraction and frustration towards Batman regarding his resistance to her seduction. But I think it could go further.

Perhaps it would be interesting to give Ivy, rather than a misanthropic view of the world, a misandrist view instead. Her somewhat tragic backstory contains negative male figures in her life which may lead to this worldview shaping. Similar to the previous point, this could lead to another contemporary topic (masculinity in modern society) being explored in relation to her attraction-frustration with Batman. There would be a schism in her worldview between the type of powerful playboy male she detests (the facade of Bruce Wayne) and the more empathetic, protective male she can admire (Batman).

This, by extension, could also lead to an exploration of contemporary feminity too.

  1. An internal power struggle : Taking a page out of Sam Raimi's Spiderman 2, I think another interesting angle would be to give her an internal struggle (similar to Dock Ock and his arms) as her powers grow. Starts off with Mithridatic poison powers where she is in control, but her more powerful abilities (controlling vines/plants themselves) come at the cost of being controlled by the Green directly.

  2. Adding substance with Harley: Instead of just making the relationship between Ivy and Harley one where they're just a team up of villains (where the former plays second fiddle), how about a little more depth gets added through the anti-hero lens? Perhaps make such a relationship not JUST a relationship, but a relationship where Ivy attempts to help Harley break free from the Joker as she sees her past self in Harley (with a lack of autonomy)

So those are my rough ideas. Let me know what you think!
