A Great Tale About Poison Ivy
Batman: Poison Ivy takes places right after the events in Batman: Shadow of The Bat Annual #3 starring the seductive and insane botanist criminal. Poison Ivy escapes from Arkham Asylum and seeks refuge in the sacred wilderness and is happy living in her new sanctuary, until a group of soldiers tear the forest down for military purposes. This infuriates Poison Ivy greatly and with a kiss, she takes down the entire army. Meanwhile, Batman searches far and wide for the escaped inmate but it didn't take long for Poison Ivy to find him.
This particular issue is another masterpiece because it tells a rather grim but heartwarming tale of a woman who wants what's best for the environment. She fights hard for what she believes is right but only if she does it her away and that could only lead into trouble. The only disappointing thing about this issue is the ending. Sure, justice is served but I feel as if they ended the story too soon leaving the readers left unsatisfied. But on the bright side, it's got a good script and great artwork. To all the Poison Ivy fans. This one's for you. I give it 4.5 out of 5 (Minus half a star for a disappointing ending).
