** While Catwoman and Riddler undergo costume and personality changes, Poison's transformation also changes her physically, much like with Jack Napier/The Joker, and are the result of being double-crossed by a criminal boss. Ivy also uses [[MeaningfulName poison]] as a deadly weapon like Joker.

* AffectionateGestureToTheNose: PlayedForHorror; after she and Robin finally share a passionate romantic kiss together under the guise of her [[MotivationalKiss wishing him luck against Mr. Freeze]], she immediately reveals it was for "bad luck" in a mock sad voice while rubbing noses with him affectionately and gently stoking his chin lovingly with a single finger, continuing to pretend that she loves him and flirting with him even as she condemns him to death.

* EvilIsPetty: She spends most of the film stringing Robin along, seducing him and making him think she's in love with him. After she finally shares a kiss with him, she immediately reveals her true colors to him to condemn him to death, while ''still'' mockingly flirting with him in a fake sad voice, pretending like she still cares about him while doing so. Additionally, after Robin reveals he outsmarted her and made himself immune to her poison via rubber lips, she responds by quietly glaring at him in humiliation before shoving him off her throne and into her pond for her plants to drown him. As he is struggling for air, she struts away and mockingly waves him goodbye as he's drowning, shouting a smug "See ya!" to him to get the last laugh in their "relationship" by "breaking up" with him. All because she felt humiliated that he managed to steal a kiss from her.



* {{Revenge}}: The first thing Pamela Isley does after being reborn as Poison Ivy is take her revenge on Woodrue for corrupting her research and trying to kill her. She seduces him before pulling him into a poisonous kiss before mocking him for not mentioning she's poison until then, and then burning the whole lab down with his body inside.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Usually Poison Ivy is depicted as a misguided WellIntentionedExtremist trying to protect the environment from humans. Here, on the other hand, she's now a sadistic and completely self-serving sociopath.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Usually Poison Ivy is Ivy's personality and motives tend to fluctuate both in the comics and adaptations -- she's been depicted as anything from a misguided WellIntentionedExtremist trying to protect the environment from humans. humans to a bitter misanthrope who views humans as a disease to a garden-variety crook with a plant theme to a borderline alien embodiment of plantlife. Here, on the other hand, she's now firmly a sadistic and completely self-serving sociopath.

* InsultBackfire: A negative remark by Batman on Ivy's personality is received with a seductive [[SlasherSmile smile]] and an attempt to lean in for a kiss.
-->'''Batman''': (pinned down by her) Why are all the gorgeous ones homicidal maniacs-- it is me?\\

** Later, during her fight with Batgirl, Batgirl gives her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about how she uses her charms to get her way, which "went out of style a long time ago" and that she gave women a bad name. As she says this, Ivy just smirks at her remarks, being proud and unashamed of her actions.



* PerpetualSmiler: Poison Ivy's superhuman sense of self-satisfaction and confidence means she rarely seen without some kind of smile on her face, from her birth right up to her incarceration. She smiles when she talks; she smiles when she plots; she smiles when she fights; she smiles to seduce people- even when she kisses them sometimes she can't help but flash a little smirk.

She smiles when she talks; she smiles when she plots; she smiles when she fights; she smiles to seduce people- even when she kisses them sometimes she can't help but flash a little smirk. The few times she ''doesn't'' have a smirk on her face are when Robin reveals he tricked her and stole a kiss from her, when she is defeated by Batgirl and trapped in her own throne, and when Freeze reveals himself as her cellmate and declares he'll make her life a living hell; all situations where her ego takes a massive blow and she realizes things ''aren't'' working out the way she expected.



-->'''Poison Ivy''': You should have heeded your pointy eared pal. These lips can be murder.
-->'''Robin''': [[HeelRealization Then you never loved me?]]
-->'''Poison Ivy''': Love you? I ''loathe'' your bipedal arrogance, your animal superiority. My only joy is knowing that even now my poison kiss is sucking the life from your ape-like face.

* {{Sexophone}}: Poison Ivy's recurring {{leitmotif}} is built around this, usually when she appears in the room and goes into seduction mode. It starts off bold, sultry, and alluring before trailing off into eerie, [[DroneOfDread dark territory]] and rising to a crescendo at the end.
** The music reflects the actions on screen; the hapless victim becomes seduced by Ivy's charms (sax) and they share a kiss (foreboding drone), whereupon the poison slowly works its way through the body and kills him (crescendo).

** When she "pleads" with Robin to keep his promise to her and give her just one kiss before leaving to confront Freeze, there is a close-up shot showing nothing but her lips as she whispers "for luck" and lingers for a second as her lips curl into a seductive smile. It is implied this might be a momentary POV shot from Robin's perspective, with him staring longingly at Ivy's lips and wanting to kiss them.
