Poison Ivy from The New Batman Adventures
Poison Ivy is an antagonist in The New Batman Adventures. Aside from being a botanist and biochemist, she is a supervillain who terrorizes Gotham with her supernatural control over plant life. Though in other media, Poison Ivy may be an anti heroine. In the animated series, she is often seen scheming with Harley Quinn to take down Batman. Check out our other Poison Ivy costume guides, such as Bombshell Posion Ivy & Poison Ivy from DC Universe’s Harley Quinn, for more variations on her look.
Poison Ivy from DC Universe
Poison Ivy is a character in the DC Universe animated series Harley Quinn. She has the ability to control plant life, and owns a greenhouse in her apartment. A talkative Venus Flytrap named Frank the Plant provides comic relief. In the first episode, she convinces Harley that the Joker is more in love with capturing Batman than with her. While she matches Harley’s sassy and headstrong personality, she keeps a more level head and knows how to rein Harley in. Ivy was originally is engaged to Kite Man, but she admits her feelings for Harley at the end of the second season. She is voiced by Lake Bell.
Bombshell Poison Ivy
In DC Bombshells, Poison Ivy uses her botanist skills to grow plants in winter and feed the Russians during WWII. She also used her skills to create a perfume to defeat the Nazis, but her skin turned green as a result. In this depiction, she is modeled after 1940’s pinups, complete with victory rolls in her hair. The key to her costume is the ivy accents, so get creative with makeup, temporary tattoos, or floral ivy to complete the look.
Ivy
Ivy (Drew Barrymore) is the sexy teen who seduces her best friend’s father in 1992’s Poison Ivy. Her character set off the rest of the series that would often replace the main female protagonist in each sequel. Ivy is a troubled teen living with her irresponsible Aunt, who is soon pitied by her best friend and taken in. Everyone overlooks her continuously flirting with her friend’s Father, and instead becomes entranced by her beauty and charisma.
Dr. Pamela Isley
In 1997 when Batman & Robin was released, the critics bashed the hell out of it. It is one of the most disappointing films in history by statistics. And personally, one of the only things I adore about the movie in general is Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy (knowing how much I looked up to the character in general during my childhood).
Aside from Poison Ivy’s main costume, I decided to take a turn towards her laboratory uniform as Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley since I find it sexier, and less cheesy. It’s one tutorial that’s easy to start, and perfect for a last minute idea. You could literally go to Wal-Mart and buy these items for less than $20 (then proceed to distress the clothing if I may so add). The items needed are: a tank top, a beige skirt, and some red-hot long hair. If you want it authentically made, vines and chemistry instruments would really pull the whole look together.
Poison Ivy
Poison Ivy, who was once known as botanist Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley, uses her knowledge of plants to produce toxins and mind-controlling pheromones to help her get away with her crimes. Together with Harley Quinn, they become one of Batman’s most powerful foes.
