Poison Ivy is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of the superhero Batman. Created by Robert Kanigher and Sheldon Moldoff, the character made her first appearance in Batman #181 (June 1966).[1] Poison Ivy is one of Batman's most enduring enemies and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up Batman's rogues gallery. Poison Ivy's real name is Pamela Lillian Isley, a Gotham City botanist, who is obsessed with plants, ecological extinction, and environmentalism. One of the world's most notorious eco-terrorists, she uses plant toxins and mind-controlling pheromones for her criminal activities, which are usually aimed at protecting endangered species and the natural environment. Fellow villain Harley Quinn is often her recurring partner-in-crime, and Poison Ivy has been a romantic interest of Batman in comic book storylines. Although the character's look has evolved over the years, she typically has long flowing hair, plant vines extending over her neck or limbs, and a green one-piece outfit adorned with leaves. The character was portrayed by Uma Thurman in Batman & Robin, and was voiced by Diane Pershing in Batman: The Animated Series. A significantly teenaged version was voiced by Piera Coppola on The Batman, and a completely revamped incarnation has been voiced by Tasia Valenza for the Batman: Arkham video game franchise and Injustice 2. She is voiced by Riki Lindhome in The Lego Batman Movie.[2] IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time ranked Poison Ivy as #64.[3] She was ranked 21st in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list.[4]
