Poison Ivy, created by writer Robert Kanigher and artist Sheldon Moldoff, first appeared in Batman #181 (1966). Originally portrayed as a standard femme fatale, she later evolved into a more complex character deeply connected to environmentalism and ecology. After suffering psychological trauma and betrayal, Pamela Isley gains powers through the use of experimental botany, ultimately becoming the plant-based villain we know today. Ivy becomes a prominent member of Batman's rogues gallery while simultaneously acting as an anti-hero who fights for environmental rights. Her appearances span comics, animated series, and films, showcasing her evolution from villainy to occasional heroism across media. Ivy often engages in a complicated relationship with Batman, sometimes opposing him outright while occasionally teaming up for a common cause. Over the years, she has appeared in popular story arcs, reflecting her ongoing relevance in discussions about climate change and women's empowerment in a traditionally male-dominated milieu. The depth of her character and her motivations continue to resonate with audiences worldwide, leading to her status as a beloved symbol of rebellion against corporate exploitation of nature.
