Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley, also known as Poison Ivy, made her debut in Batman #181 and continues to regularly appear in various forms of Batman media, including comic books, animated television series, and movies. To some, she is an eco-terrorist villain who has total control over plants, while to others, she is a femme fatale who stands in stark contrast to Batman's other villains, who are often completely insane or selfish in their motivations for chaos and evil.
