This is a collage of Poison Ivy history with scans of classic Poison Ivy appearances in Batman #344 (1982) "Monster My Sweet" written by Gerry Conway and art by Gene Colan and Klaus Janson [reprinted in Tales of the Batman: Gerry Conway vol. 2 (2018) and Tales of the Batman: Gene Colan vol. 1 (2011)] and Detective Comics #534 (1984) "Brambles" written by Doug Moench and art by Gene Colan and Alfred Alcala [reprinted in Tales of the Batman: Gene Colan vol. 2 (2018)].

The Poison Ivy lettering design is by Kelley Jones from Batman #528 (1996) [reprinted in Batman by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones vol. 1 (2014)], and Poison Ivy description quotes from Who's Who: The Definitive Dictionary of the DC Universe #18 (August 1986) by Peter Sanderson, Len Wein and Robert Greenberger, "Pamela Isley [aliases Lillian Rose/Penelope Ivy] was attracted to botany [plant science], which became her major at collage. Her professor [Marc Legrand/Jason Woodrue] poisoned her with deadly herbs. Somehow, Pamela's system resisted the poison and assimilated it, making her immune [or resistant] to all poisons. She then took the identity of Poison Ivy, her her interest in plants, her immunity [or tolerance] to poison, and her [P.I.] initials. She also grew human-like plant beings called Green Ghosts, and treated Ivor, her chauffeur, with a chemical compound to create nightmares of horticulture. She possess weapons such as poisonous thorns. She has also gone after Bruce Wayne - unaware that he is Batman. And she almost pulled off a scheme to gain control of the vast assets of the Wayne Foundation."

Poison Ivy was called Lillian Rose in World's Finest Comics #252 (1978) "A Poison of the Heart" written by Gerry Conway and art by Jack Abel [reprinted in Batman Arkham: Poison Ivy (2016)]. Poison Ivy's name was first revealed as Pamela Isley in Batman #343 (1982) "A Dagger So Deadly" written by Gerry Conway and art by Gene Colan [reprinted in Tales of the Batman: Gerry Conway vol. 2 (2018) and Tales of the Batman: Gene Colan vol. 1 (2011)]. Poison Ivy was called Penelope Ivy in Detective Comics #566 (September 1986) "Know Your Foes" written by Doug Moench and art by Gene Colan. Her professor was first revealed to have been Jason Woodrue [the Floronic Man], also that Alec Holland [Swamp Thing], Linda Holland and Phil Sylvian [Black Orchid creator] were her botany [plant science] classmates in collage, in Black Orchid #2 (January 1989) "Going Down" written by Neil Gaiman and art by Dave McKean [reprinted in Black Orchid (1991)].

In the comics panels on the side, Poison Ivy explains to her Green Ghosts, "You have been extremely patient, my 'Green Ghosts,' not that you've heretofore had any choice in the matter... But now the moment of your reward-- of intelligence-- is at hand. All advanced plant-life contains chloroplasts for the storing of light-energy-- But with you, my living plant-men, I shall work a twist on photosynthesis..." from Detective Comics #534 (1984) "Brambles" written by Doug Moench and art by Gene Colan and Alfred Alcala [reprinted in Tales of the Batman: Gene Colan vol. 2 (2018)].

Poison Ivy explains further to her Green Ghosts, "Your chloroplasts 'will serve as 'brains''-- And will now receive and store energy not from sunlight, now down here... But from the brainwaves of these five executives-- via the vascular systems of the specially hybridized vine-tendrils." from Detective Comics #534 (1984) "Brambles" written by Doug Moench and art by Gene Colan and Alfred Alcala [reprinted in Tales of the Batman: Gene Colan vol. 2 (2018)].

Poison Ivy explains to Batman, "Dear Ivor is devoted to me, Batman! He lives to serve me." from Batman #344 (1982) "Monster My Sweet" written by Gerry Conway and art by Gene Colan and Klaus Janson [reprinted in Tales of the Batman: Gerry Conway vol. 2 (2018) and Tales of the Batman: Gene Colan vol. 1 (2011)].

Poison Ivy's Green Ghosts say, "We are yours, Poison Ivy-- Yours to command." from Detective Comics #534 (1984) "Brambles" written by Doug Moench and art by Gene Colan and Alfred Alcala [reprinted in Tales of the Batman: Gene Colan vol. 2 (2018)].

Poison Ivy's Green Ghosts type plant creatures are also in the Batman: The Animated Series/The Adventures of Batman & Robin episode "House & Garden" [season 2, 1994] [on the Batman: The Animated Series vol. 3 DVD set].

Poison Ivy's plant creatures are more possible than people think. The Venus flytrap, despite being a plant, feeds on other organisms – and some of its parts move faster than its unfortunate animal prey. Also, scientists are inserting human genes into plants. Creating hybrid human-plant chromosomes. DNA is shared between plants and humans.

I think Tim Burton would have cast Eva Green as Poison Ivy and had her weird creepy Green Ghosts plant monsters. Tim Burton explained, "Well, I love movies and mainly monster movies, Ray Harryhausen [movies], the genre: horror movies, monster movies, science fiction films. Obviously my favorite comic book character was Batman."
