![]() Batman asks her to work with him to take out Scarecrow or else every plant in the city will die. She wasn't interested and Scarecrow had her tested on with fear gas for not going through with his plans. As Batman asks her what is going on, she reveals that Scarecrow called every villain in Gotham, including her, to the now abandoned Arkham Asylum to hold a meeting on to take down Batman once and for all. But it turns out she is immune to the toxin. As Batman goes to Scarecrow's safe house somewhere in Gotham, he notices Poison Ivy being tested on with Scarecrow's fear toxin. On Halloween night, Scarecrow and a military terrorist known as the Arkham Knight take over Gotham City in order to take out Batman. She does find the flowers but kills them in revenge of Ivy attacking her, but decides to blame Hugo if she encounters Ivy again. Ivy gains the upper hand and gets her hanging with her plants, but Catwoman promises to look after the flowers inside Hugo Strange's vault. Catwoman confronts her, defeats mind-controlled thugs and leaving them to die by her plants. In Arkham City, she has control of one of the buildings with her Plants. after the Joker was defeated, the police managed to find a weaken Poison Ivy, extract the TITAN Formula out of her, and place her back in her cell. Batman managed to defeat her in the Gardens, using his Batarangs and Explosive Gel to break her shield and cause the Plant she's controlling to fall, then causing the part of the gardens to crumble but Batman escapes to confront the Joker. Ivy then summoned a large plant monster and used it to confront Batman. She also explained that she thought that plants were in pain, but soon realizes that they were evolving. As Batman made it to the Gardens, Batman was about to inject the formula into the main plant, however, Poison Ivy stopped him from doing so. As Batman was leaving the Gardens, Joker ended up injecting Ivy with the TITAN formula. The formula reacts differently with her unusual DNA, greatly enhancing her powers over plants. Having her plants grow more powerful, she causes them to grow up all around the Island causing destruction and deaths of thugs and security guards.Īfter successfully creating a cure, Batman went back to the Gardens to stop Poison Ivy's Plants from getting too powerful and spreading to Gotham. But she also told him that the plants were in Killer Croc's lair.īefore he left, Batman told Ivy to return to her cell, otherwise he'll come after her. Ivy then told Batman that there's a plant that contains the spores needed to create a cure. He threaten that he'll destroy every plant unless she help him with the cure. ![]() However, Batman grabbed one of Poison Ivy's beloved plants and crushed it. At first Poison Ivy wanted nothing to do with helping Batman, so she tries to kill him. Later on, Batman needed to find a cure for the TITAN formula and asked for Poison Ivy's assistance. In Arkham Asylum, Harley Quinn releases her from her cell as a favor to her friend. She is also a minor antagonist in the 2014 animated film Batman: Assault on Arkham. Even putting aside the terrible outfits, the games just have her too defined by her obsession with the Joker, something the comics and other media have been trying to shake off for years, and the way she's talked about by other characters in the game world, including thugs in the Joker and Penguin camps, never feels far above crude and belittling.She is one of the three secondary antagonists (alongside Harley Quinn and Scarecrow) of Batman: Arkham Asylum, the secondary antagonist of Batman: Arkham City's Catwoman Episodes and a major anti-heroine in Batman: Arkham Knight, as well as the villainous deuteragonist of the latter's prequel DLC episode Harley Quinn. ![]() The Batman: Arkham games portray one of the most complex and multilayered Batman characters as nothing more than a scantily clad annoyance. The worst portrayal, however, goes to Harley. Related: Arkham Knight's Harley Quinn DLC Hinted At Her Suicide Squad Potential This is especially egregious in how she fights, with Catwoman kissing Batman: Arkham thugs as she counterattacks. Add onto that the terrible dialogue between her and Poison Ivy during an early-game fight sequence in Arkham City (perhaps even more dismal on Poison Ivy's side), and you get a portrayal that is frustrating, to put it mildly. ![]() While Arkham City and Arkham Knight mostly nailed Catwoman's casually flirtatious dynamic with Batman, it also went too far with having her be sexy (and little else) basically all of the time. ![]()
