The Characters of Towser's Past: Poison Ivy

Name: Poison Ivy

Features In: Batman TAS, Batman and Robin

About: Poison Ivy is one of few female villains in Batman's rouge gallery but she can certainly hold her own in a fight with the capped crusader. Poison Ivy is more than just a petty criminal, although she does steal things to fund her more important crimes, she is a green protester with a vicious edge. Ivy can manipulate plant life and uses natural chemicals to aid her criminal life style.

Why She Appeals To Me: There was always something cool about Poison Ivy; I have always thought her ability to manipulate plants would be a rather useful one. There was something about the cartoon Ivy that stood out from the other animated villains. The real reason that she stood out for me was her appearance in the film 'Batman and Robin' Ivy was my first crush as a kid. Portrayed by the lovely Uma Thurman I thought Ivy was sexy as hell.
