Despite rumours of shows ending and The CW’s run as THE DC TV property with Arrowverse seemingly coming to an end, they continue to expand their universe with more cool DC comics characters and Batman’s villain, Poison Ivy AKA Pamela Isley, is the latest.
Following on from Uma Thurman’s portrayal of the character in Batman & Robin and several actresses playing her in Gotham, The Last Ship and Jane the Virgin star Bridget Regan is the latest to play the famous arch-villain.
Ivy, in the comics, is an environmental activist with the power to manipulate and flat-out control plants, bending them to her will and making even the most humble houseplant into a potentially deadly weapon. She’s a formidable foe, indeed.
Her role will be a recurring one and her origins in the show being slightly different that the one(s) we know.
Poison Ivy, a.k.a Pamela Isley, is as former botany student of Gotham University described as a passionate, brilliant scientist with a mind for changing the world for the better. But her plans shifted when she was experimented on by a colleague, injected with various plant toxins which turned her into the infamous Batman villain Poison Ivy. With a formidable power coursing through her veins, Pamela used her powers to do what she thought was right, even if Batman and those closest to her disagreed with her dangerous methods. Now effectively wiped off the board for years, Batwoman and the Bat Team must prepare themselves for Poison Ivy to return with a vengeance.
She will appear in the upcoming Season 3 of Batwoman… can’t wait to see what they do with her.

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
