"Watch them die. Watch the Earth take them back, and in their deaths they give more to Gotham than they ever did in their lives."

You already know my story, you know who I am and everything I've done. I created paradise, it might have been ours forever...

And yet... I couldn't stand it. I couldn't stand me.


In this iteration, and in this story, Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley is an older woman, in her early-forties. She has spent most of her adult years in and out of Arkham Asylum for only ever trying to protect nature, the world - in her own way, of course. She has always been masterful at obscuring and changing the truth, creating a skewed version of events where she is the hero. Those who had died were simply faceless villains in her battle. Humans were cruel and men especially. She is the hero.

Justice League, Injustice Gang... They're all the same really, aren't they? And she's moved through them and others over the years - serving only her own agenda, to push back against humanity and protect the Earth.

It was only when she befriended her that Ivy slowed down. The two of them finding peace in each other, so much so that the outside world quietened, in the wake of Despero, things were more still, and they made a home in each other and eventually love grew. But as quickly as it grew, it withered again - or the flames of passion burnt down to the roots - leaving only smoke as she went back to him, and left Ivy with not much more than a mirror to finally see her true self, and all that she'd done.

Ivy has been committed to Arkham multiple times in her life. She is easily enraged, and is especially distrusting - especially towards men. Despite her best efforts to redeem herself in recent years and to live peacefully, she can be prone to spells of aggression. But, she still tries again, in spite of each setback.

Now, Ivy longs more than ever to create a Garden of Eden away from Gotham, but not before she has faced her true past. Following Ivy, is a Rolodex of enemies from a variety of places - a trail of scorned friends, and ex-lovers. When she sleeps, each spurned face haunts her as if she's on trial and they are her jury. She has spent many of her years in true belief that she is the hero - perhaps this time, she can finally be a real one.

Why wouldn’t I want to play this character? She’s deliciously entertaining, enduring, iconic. And yet there is so much more she can give. I want to play a very human Ivy, as she works through the connections of her life in search of redemption, yet even now, as she attempts to wrong the rights she has caused, she can't help but dig her thorns in. A self-fulfilling prophecy that she'll do it all again anyway. On her journey to forgiveness with some of of the elder heroes, she finds that she is a natural mentor and maternal figure to the younger heroes of tomorrow. Just... take her advice with a pinch of salt sometimes.

"I believe the children are our future..."
Being older, Ivy sees opportunity in helping the younger heroes. She has a soft spot for them - she wants to keep them away from the path she fell upon, and still tiptoes along the fence of. She has a lot to teach, if only she can focus on it for long enough. All of these young guns can't just rely on Batman, Wonderwoman, and Superman now - can they? What exactly can they really teach them about life?

"Everytime you leave..."
Who quite knows what happened with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn? But whatever it was, it was bad. Yet, she wants to make amends to Harley more than anything, to make sure that even if in this life they're not together - that Harley is at least happy, and rid of particular temptations.
