* KissDiss: She is on both the receiving and giving ends of this at various times while seducing someone.
** When she tries to seduce Batman at Freeze's lair, she lays on top of him and after some flirting starts to lean in for a kiss. To her shock though, Batman shows to be wise to her intentions and resists her advancements, shoving her off of him and quickly getting to his feet, before he grabs her arm and declares she's going to jail.
** When she seduces Gordon into giving her the keys to the Bat-Signal, she initially leans in to deliver a poison kiss to him after he gives her what she wants. But she stops short and decides that he's "far too old" for her and walks off, leaving him heartbroken.
** When Robin arrives at her lair to meet with her, the two of them briefly flirt with each other and declare their love for each other before Robin asks her to give him a sign of trust, specifically asking her to tell him her plan. Ivy places a hand on Robin's back, leans forward, and tells Robin she will tell him if he kisses her first, obviously expecting him to jump at the offer. [[NotDistractedByTheSexy Robin however refuses]] and instead flips her offer, staring her right in the eyes and telling her to tell him the plan first and ''then'' he'll kiss her. After a moment of silence, Ivy gives in to Robin's demands and tells him how Freeze plans to destroy Gotham, [[JustBetweenYouAndMe figuring it won't matter anyway]]. Robin initially tries to leave without keeping his end of the deal and kissing Ivy, hurriedly declaring he needs to stop Freeze and turning away from her. But it ends up subverted when Ivy grabs him and pulls him back to face her, "innocently begging" him to share one quick kiss with her "[[MotivationalKiss for luck]]", and the two share a passionate kiss together.

At Freeze’s hideout she pins Batman down when flirting with him and later corners Robin on a rail walk, pulling him into a hug before slowly leaning in for a kiss with him.

She has her plants help set the romantic mood between them as she attempts to seduce him, and urges him to share one kiss with her "[[MotivationalKiss for luck]]" against Freeze. Though it still serves as the climax for their "relationship" when Robin using it to [[TestKiss test]] if [[SecretTestOfCharacter Ivy really loves him]].

* HoneyTrap: She uses her beauty to her advantage, seducing others to get what she wants and turning Batman and Robin against each other. When she puts herself up for auction she even claims that some lucky man is about to hit the "honey pot".
* HurricaneOfPuns: Just like practically everyone else in the movie her dialogue is filled with puns and double-meanings. If she isn't making a plant-related joke then it's a sexual DoubleEntendre.

[[foldercintrol]]
[[folder:A-L]]
* AdaptationOriginConnection: She created the steroid-like Venom that gives Bane his strength.
* AdaptationalJerkass[=/=]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.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Discussed in the principal screenplay and the official adult novelization by Michael Jan Friedman; She finds herself admiring Bane's penchant for violence and destruction on numerous occasions (even before her villainous transformation), and reveals in exposition that what attracts her to Freeze is his inhuman appearance and powers, even calling him 'fabulously elemental' and good-looking and masculine 'in a grotesque sort of way'.
* AllThereInTheManual: One of the major plot holes people found in the movie was that Freeze's plan would have killed plant life in the ecosystem. Going along with said plan was in fact a conscious choice on Ivy's part, as in the script and the junior novelization, there is a part where she crushes a flower after proclaiming, "Sorry, hon', this is {{for science}}." This actually does make some sense to Ivy's characterization since one of her defining traits from the comics is that, for as much as Ivy professes she cares about the environment, she's also a sadist who tends to overlook her own hypocrisy so long as she gets to hurt people. This was especially prominent in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.
* AlmostKiss: She attempts to kiss Robin twice while at Freeze's hideout, but both attempts are thwarted by Batman, the first accidentally and the second due to his warning right as they were leaning in. Averted with the third attempt, where they finally kiss in her lair once they are alone.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Series/{{Batwoman}} Earth-Prime]].
* AmbitionIsEvil: Goes from [[AnimalWrongsGroup vengeful eco-terrorist]] to genocidal megalomaniac who plans to use Freeze's weapon to wipe out all human (and most plant) life so that she can rule over a race of mutant plants with Freeze by her side. There's ''definitely'' a BrokenAesop in there somewhere. Yikes.
* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: Her numerous (and we mean ''numerous'') sexual references are just about the sole reason for ''Batman & Robin'''s PG-13 rating, save a few swear words here and there.
* AwkwardKiss: Zigzagged with Robin and only really awkward on her side. The kiss itself is passionate, but immediately after it she [[MomentKiller ruins the romantic mood]] by revealing she was lying about loving Robin and expects him to die. When Robin reveals he won’t die, Ivy is [[OhCrap shocked]] and [[StunnedSilence stunned silent for awhile]], realizing she just revealed herself to Robin and kissed him for nothing.
* BackstabBackfire: She finally gets Robin alone in her lair and shares a kiss with him, believing that she has finally poisoned him. But she has actually played right into his hands, and he survived thanks to wearing rubber lips for protection. Therefore not only did her attempt to kill him fail, she revealed the whole plan to him and revealed that she has been deceiving him the whole time.
* BareYourMidriff: Rises from her grave with her garments [[{{Stripperific}} fashionably tattered in a less-than-practical manner]] thanks to InstantCostumeChange.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: With Freeze (Brains) and Bane (Brawn). Potentially averted in that, while Freeze is clearly a bit of a GeniusBruiser by way of [[InformedAbility Informed Intelligence]], Ivy does the lion's share of the [[SmugSnake scheming]] amongst the three.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Pamela Isley found out her boss Dr. Woodrue was using her research for his own megalomaniacal ends and announced her efforts to get him fired and blacklisted. After becoming Poison Ivy, she seeks to do exactly what Dr. Woodrue planned to do (that is, TakeOverTheWorld).
* BigBad: Acts as the main antagonist of ''Batman & Robin''. She is the main force driving Batman and Robin apart and she is the one who tricks Freeze into wanting the duo dead by lying about his wife.
* BigNo: Gives one when Batgirl defeats her and her throne closes up on her.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She acts like a normal beautiful woman during her seductions but is actually luring her victims to their death by convincing them to share a poisoned kiss with her. She drops the act the moment she believes she has won and taunts her victims as they die by her side. In Robin's case, she convinced him she loved him and revealed her plan to him, only to reveal her true colors after their kiss, and then try to drown him after realizing her kiss didn't work on him.
* BondBreaker: Her pheromones cause tension between Batman and Robin.
* BondVillainStupidity: She crosses into this towards the end of the film. She tells Robin what she and Freeze are planning to convince him to kiss her, believing he won't live to make use of the info. But after Robin reveals he survived the kiss with rubber lips, and removes them while sitting next to her, she angrily shoves him into the pond to drown him instead of grabbing him and forcing a second kiss on him. She also leaves Robin instead of staying to make sure he dies, and mockingly waves him goodbye while shouting "see ya!" to him, treating it more like she's breaking up with him than trying to kill him.
* {{Burlesque}}: Stripteases in a ''Blonde Venus''-inspired magenta gorilla suit in her BigEntrance at the Rainforest Ball. Also features ShakingTheRump, SexyWalk, and a small ThreePointLanding onto a [[MrFanservice bed of]] [[{{Loincloth}} male]] [[PerpetuallyShinyBodies performers]].
* CameBackWrong: Her death at the hands of Dr. Woodrue early in the movie resulted in her toxic rebirth as Poison Ivy.
* CardCarryingVillain: She enjoys chewing the scenery and making a big reveal of her evil side once she believes her victims are doomed. She revealed her true colors to Robin after their kiss, believing he would die, not expecting he would have a way to counter her kiss, and openly bragged to Batgirl about killing Freeze's wife. This comes back to bite her when a recording of her confession is given to Freeze, and he takes his revenge on her in prison.
--> So many people to kill SO LITTLE TIME!
* ChairReveal: Zigzagged. She is shown many times before this in the film, but when Robin comes to her lair he makes his way to the center where there is a giant rose. The rose blooms to reveal Ivy sitting in it like a throne, greeting the sidekick seductively.
* ClarkKenting: An extreme case; she wears leafy eye masks to conceal her identity. That's right: ''eye masks''. At least the heroes have the decency to at least wear [[DominoMask domino masks]]. She even loses this "mask" by her last costume, instead wearing heavy eyeshadows that match the color of her hair and new red dress.
* ConvenientlyCellmates: With Freeze at the end of ''Batman & Robin''.
* CurbStompBattle: She is on both the giving and receiving end of this during the final scene in her lair.
** She delivers this to both of the Dynamic Duo in quick succession. After her kiss fails to kill Robin, she angrily shoves him off her throne and into her lily-pond, where her plants immediately begin to drown him. As she smugly walks away she runs right into Batman, who ambushes her in his own trap. She immediately defeats him before he can do anything by having her vines ensnare him and begin crushing him. She begins to leave the Dynamic Duo trapped and defeated, and would have escaped if not for Batgirl's arrival. Although both Robin and Batman survive their traps and manage to escape, Ivy would have still managed to escape from them and join Freeze had Batgirl not arrived.
** She is on the receiving end when Batgirl arrives in her lair before she can leave. Batgirl knocks her around while giving her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech for using her charms to get her way. Batgirl disarms her of every weapon she uses against her and eventually knocks her back on to her own throne. The flower-bed then closes on her, trapping her until she was arrested.
* DatingCatwoman: She invokes this with Robin. She gets him to fall in love with her after just their first meeting, and convinces him that she will even change sides to be with him. She manipulated him and drives him and Batman apart just by flirting with him. Though they officially “break up” after their kiss when Ivy realizes Robin has tricked her and she shoves him into her pond to drown him.
* DeathGlare: After Robin reveals he OutGambitted her, tricking her into telling her plan and surviving her kiss, she gives him a very dirty glare. She's so angry and humiliated she shoves him from her throne and into the pond to drown him instead of forcing a second kiss on him.
* DesignatedGirlFight: With Batgirl. She easily disposed of both Robin and Batman in her lair, but once Batgirl shows up she is the only one to actually put up a fight against Ivy, being immune to her charms and forcing Ivy to get her hands dirty.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: After Robin survives her kiss and removes his rubber lips, she angrily shoves him into her pond to drown him, when she could have forced a second kiss on him. Then she walks off and taunts the drowning hero instead of staying to finish him, treating it like she's just mocking him by "breaking up with him". As a result Robin survives and knows her plan.
* DoubleEntendre: If Mr. Freeze is the [[HurricaneOfPuns King of Puns]], then Poison Ivy is the Queen of this trope.
* DyingCurse: "Curses!" Subverted in that she survives.
* EmotionalPowers: In a way, her plants react to how she is and change with her emotions. At her lair they help set the romantic mood when Ivy seduces Robin, slowly closing the exit behind him and opening up to reveal Ivy the way a curtain closes and opens, and raining flowers from the ceiling once the two of them are together. Once Ivy is angered by Robin's trickery, fooling her into revealing her plan and kissing him, they violently turn against Robin and try to drown him when she shoves him into the pond.
* EnemyMine: With Mr. Freeze.
* EngineeredPublicConfession: "As I told Lady Freeze when I pulled her plug... this is a one-woman show."
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: With the aid of her [[LovePotion pheromones]], if some of the gazes of female partygoers at the Rainforest Ball are any indication.
* EvilGloating: She can't help but gloat when she believes she is in control. This has actually worked against her. After kissing Robin she immediately mocks him and his upcoming death instead of waiting for the effects to start. This proves to Robin her love to him is fake, and since he wore rubber lips to protect him from her kiss he wasn't poisoned, which Ivy would have realized if she waited longer before revealing her true colors to him. Then during her fight with Batgirl she brags about how she was the one who tried to kill Freeze's wife, which Batman recorded and presented to Freeze.
* EvilMakeover: One of the more interesting side-effects of Venom is its ability to turn a ShrinkingViolet into MsFanservice. Over the course of the film, her costume, hair, and makeup choices become more bold, brazen, [[UpToEleven crazy, over-the-top, drag queen-flamboyant]].
* ExactWords: Right as Robin is about to leave her lair, she grabs him and asks him for a kiss "for luck". After the two share a quick passionate kiss, Ivy pulls away and sneers "''Bad'' luck I'm afraid."
* {{Expy}}: Poison Ivy is a mixture of Catwoman's rebirth origin story from ''[[Film/BatmanReturns Returns]]'' and The Riddler's MadScientist origin story from ''[[Film/BatmanForever Forever]]''. Stated by Creator/JoelSchumacher that his original intent was to have Creator/NicoleKidman portray Ivy in ''Film/BatmanForever'', hence why (aside from Elliot Goldenthal's recycled score) Ivy and Chase's {{Sexophone}} motifs are so similar.
* FantasticFlora: Poison Ivy has a plethora of killer mutant plants that giggle, sigh, moan, hiss...and ''kill''. They can crush a man, engulf a building in mere minutes, and [[ManEatingPlant swallow somebody whole]]. [[LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey II]], eat your heart out.
* FatalFlaw: Her [[{{Pride}} arrogance]]; she is completely confident in her planning and abilities that she never even considers something could go wrong, and this causes her to make several mistakes. This is best shown during each of her confrontations with the heroes during the final scene in her lair.
** She lured Robin to her lair with the "Robin-signal" she previously alluded to in her seductions, but was surprised when Batman and Batgirl showed up too, because she pretty much gave away her location.
** While trying to seduce Robin for a kiss in her lair, she believes Robin is still completely in love with her and never suspects he might be trying to play her, even when he refuses to kiss her unless she tells him her plan. If she had waited just a few moments after their kiss she would have noticed Robin was unaffected by her poison, but instead she immediately begins mocking him and tells him it is "time to die", thus revealing her deception to him and failing his SecretTestOfCharacter.
** While fighting Batgirl, she boasts to her that she was the one who pulled Nora's plug for no other reason than to make a death threat to Batgirl. Not only is she easily defeated and humiliated by Batgirl after this, but Batman recorded her confession during the fight and shows it to Mr. Freeze, which earns her Freeze's wrath when they are put in Arkham as cellmates.
* FauxActionGirl: While Catwoman could put up a fight against Batman, she just leaves Bane to do her fighting for her and later has an incredibly lame fight with Batwoman.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She acts sweet and lovingly around others, but it is all just an act to lure them in for a kiss before revealing her true colors as they slowly die. The best example is with Robin, who she seduces throughout the film and convinces him she loves him. Once she succeeds in kissing him tough, she stops the act and taunts him as she believes he will die shortly and becomes enraged when she discovers ''he's'' the one who tricked her.
* FemmeFatale: A beautiful but evil woman, who uses her sexy looks to her full advantage. She had Robin completely in love with her since he first saw her at the Ball, and she had been plotting his and Batman's deaths since she began flirting with them.
* ForcefulKiss: She does this to most of her victims. After seducing them she grabs them and pulls them in close to deliver a fateful kiss, though after overcoming the shock of this they are usually kissing back, only to drop dead moments later.
* FourthDateMarriage: She invokes this on Robin during her seductions. Robin quickly falls in love with her in the short time they meet and is completely convinced that she loves him too. They have a total of three meetings/dates together: first when they meet at the charity ball where Robin gets into a bidding war for Ivy against Batman and she blows Robin a kiss goodbye, then at Freeze's hideout Ivy ambushes and flirts heavily with Robin when he is supposed to arrest her, only for their flirting to be interrupted by Batman, and finally when Ivy calls Robin to her lair where they admit their "love" for each other and share their first kiss. This last meeting is when Robin, only a tells her he "wants them to be together", despite only being in a "relationship" with her for a few days and neither of them knowing each others real name. However, this is all somewhat justified as Ivy was using her [[LoveIsInTheAir pheromone dust]] on Robin, which slowly turned his crush on her into blind devoted love and interfered with his judgment, and she herself was purposely rushing things to get him to kiss her faster. Ultimatly it is subverted though, as Robin never actually asks Ivy to marry him, nor does she accept any proposals from him. The two only flirt together and say how much they love each other and want to be together. Ivy ultimately ends their "relationship" with only one kiss shared between them.
* FreakLabAccident: How she became Poison Ivy.
** Her only victim that wasn't subject to this was Robin. During her seductions of Robin she never grabs him and forces herself on him. Instead she takes a slower approach and makes him fall in love with her until he willingly leans in for a kiss with her. When Robin confronts her in her lair he willingly kisses her after she tells him what he wants to know. She doesn't even force a second kiss on him after he removes his rubber lips, instead shoving him into her pond to have her plants drown him, apparently enraged that [[NotGoodWithRejection he actually managed to see through her ruse and trick her]] and humiliated that he [[TakeThatKiss stole a kiss from her]].
* GaiasVengeance: She invokes shades of this trope in an impassioned speech after killing Dr. Woodrue with her [[KissOfDeath poison kiss]] as she prepares to burn the lab to the ground.
-->I am Nature's arm, her spirit, her will. Hell, [[AGodAmI I am Mother Nature]].
* {{Glamour}}: Her [[LovePotion pheromones]] can affect entire crowds, as noted at the Rainforest Ball.
* AGodAmI: Makes a variety of {{Blasphemous Boast}}s and seeks to destroy the world and rebuild it [[InTheirOwnImage in her own image]].
* GoneHorriblyRight: One possible reason her human-hating plants turned on her.
** Her plants were probably [[TheStarscream waiting to reach maturity]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness before turning on the human who taught them to hate all humans]].
* GreenEyedMonster: Reacts ''very'' poorly to the fact that Freeze has a wife ("You never said anything about a wife!"), and pulls the plug on Nora's life support in an attempt to keep Freeze all for herself.
* GreenThumb: Being that, for better or worse, she's still ''Poison-freaking-Ivy'', this trope is practically a given.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: After Robin survives their kiss and now knows what her plan is, ruining her JustBetweenYouAndMe, she angrily shoves him into the pond to drown him. Though she doesn't bother to stay and make sure he drowns.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Batgirl defeats her by knocking her back onto her Rose Throne, which then closes up on her and leaves her trapped. For added irony, she used the throne as part of her seduction of Robin, being part of her ChairReveal, leaving a space for him to lay next to her, being where they finally shared a kiss and she shoved him from it after learning of his treachery. The symbol of her false love for him was ultimately her own undoing, and she shoved him out of its range of harm in anger. Why she can't just open it again is anybody's guess.
* HurricaneOfPuns:
* {{Hypocrite}}: She claims she wants to save plant life and undo the damage done to the environment, yet her schemes with Freeze would ultimately end up doing far more damage to Earth's ecosystem than it would save. She also burned her plant-filled laboratory to the ground.
* IAmTheTrope: "Hell, I ''am'' Mother Nature!"
* ILied: Played straight mostly, with the final case being more a case of ExactWords. She reveals what she and Freeze have planned to Robin to gain his trust, that much was true, but was also the only truth she told him. After asking for a kiss [[MotivationalKiss "for luck"]] from him, and finally sharing a quick romantic kiss, she mocks him that it was for "bad luck", revealing her entire love story about switching sides so they can be together was a lie.
* InformedAttractiveness: The script actually calls her "the most beautiful woman in the world." Between that and Creator/JoelSchumacher's confession that he chose Creator/UmaThurman because he was infatuated with her Venus in ''Film/TheAdventuresOfBaronMunchausen'', one could almost be excused for thinking that this film was made by [[TheMuse Quentin Tarantino]].
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: A great deal of her attraction to Freeze seems to be his predisposition for chaos.
* 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?
-->'''Poison Ivy''': Enough sweet talk...
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: She tries this on Robin, luring him to her lair and agreeing to tell him what she and Freeze are planning in exchange for a kiss. Robin gives her her long awaited kiss after one too many flirts. Subverted in that Robin survived their kiss thanks to wearing rubber lips to protect himself.
* KickTheDog: She spends a majority of the film seducing Robin and making him think she's in love with him. Once they finally share a kiss at her lair, she immediately drops the act and rubs it in his face that he's going to die. Shortly afterwards when she realizes he outsmarted her, she shoves him from the throne they were sharing into her pond to drown him, and as he struggles against her vines she walks off, waves him goodbye and smugly says "see ya!" as if she were breaking up with him.
* KissOfDeath: Her lips are filled with poison as a result of her FreakLabAccident. Rubber lips are immune to her charms, however.
* KnifeNut: She pulls out a knife during her fight with Batgirl, though it is subverted as it does nothing to help her and Batgirl immediately kicks it out of her hand.
* KubrickStare: Uma seems to be a fan of this in photoshoots and promotional materials.
* LadyInRed: Although she wears a green outfit similar to what she wears in the comics for most of the film, she wears a red dress during the final confrontion with her in her lair. She is also seen wearing a slightly different red dress in promos.
* LadyMacbeth: To Mr. Freeze. She lies to him, telling him that Batman has killed his wife, and convinces him to take his vengeance out on Gotham and the rest of the world. Freeze is quick to agree to this plan.
* LargeHam: You can tell Uma Thurman was having the time of her life.
* LoveIsInTheAir: Her pheromones, or love dust, makes men around her more susceptible to her beauty and seductions to the point that Robin falls in love with her even with out her using them on him. Though Mr. Freeze is completely immune to them and those with a strong will like Batman can resist them.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Invokes a bit of this in Robin. She ''definitely'' becomes a victim of this herself with Mr. Freeze which leads to her eventual VillainDecay from NotSoHarmlessVillain to a GreenEyedMonster who winds up rotting away in Arkham while her beloved, now her cellmate, vows to make her life a living hell as retribution for the attempted murder of his ill wife.
* LovePotion: "Pheromone dust: designed to heat a man's blood."
* LoveRedeems: She invokes this with her seductions of Robin, promising to guide him into being his own man and "turn over a new leaf." Averted however as she was lying to Robin the whole time and never really loved him.
* LoverNotAFighter: She invokes this trope. She mainly relies on her love-dust and seductions to lure others into a KissOfDeath, and keeps Bane around for any heavy lifting that needs to be done. This is zig-zagged during the final scene in her lair though, when Bane is with Freeze she easily defeats Robin and Batman by herself in seconds and fights with Batgirl for a moment before getting [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] by her.
--->'''Poison Ivy:''' I'm a lover, not a fighter. That's why every Poison Ivy action figure comes complete with him!
[[/foler]]
[[folder:M-W]]
* MadScientist: Before her transformation, she was appalled to learn Dr. Woodrue was using her research for his own evil ends, but after becoming Poison Ivy, she aims to eliminate humanity and replace them with plant/animal hybrids.
* ManEatingPlant: The flower throne that Ivy reclines on in her lair doubles as one. It is also ultimately her downfall, as when Batgirl knocks her on to it during their fight it closes on her, trapping her and apparently doing a number on her beauty.
* ManipulativeBitch: She serves as the primary BigBad of the film to drive the conflict, raises the stakes by convincing Mr. Freeze that Batman killed his wife, and manipulating him into using his freeze gun as a doomsday device.
* MomentKiller: She suffers this constantly during her seductions of Robin.
** At Freeze's lair, she ambushes Robin and quickly seduces him for a kiss. But right before their lips can meet, Batman accidentally startles them when he lands right in-front of them, being thrown over the side rails by Bane.
** Later, she manages to make Robin fall completely in love with her and convinces him she will [[LoveRedeems guide him to being his own man and switch sides for him]]. But right as she leans in for a kiss, Batman shouts at him not to kiss. The ensuring fight between him and and an enraged Robin though, allows her to escape unnoticed.
** At Ivy's lair though, she and Robin actually kill the moment themselves. After gaining Robin's trust and finally sharing a passionate kiss with him, Ivy mockingly reveals her true colors and condemns him to death while mock flirting with him in a fake sad voice. Robin then kills it further by revealing he wore rubber lips, revealing that he didn't actually trust Ivy completely and was immune to her poison, meaning she just exposed herself for nothing. Both of them exposing their lies and deceptions to each other kills the romantic mood between them, and Ivy, enraged that Robin managed to trick her ''and'' [[TakeThatKiss steal a kiss from her]], ends their "relationship" by shoving him off her throne and into her lily pond to drown him, then mockingly waves him goodbye and leaves him to die, just to rub in that she's "breaking up with him."
* MotivationalKiss: Though not in the spirit intended Ivy isn't beneath using this kind of "heartfelt gesture" to manipulate her victims. Especially Batman & Robin. When Robin learns from Ivy that Freeze is going to destroy Gotham he attempts to make a sharp exit, only for her to stop him and tells him to kiss her quickly, "for luck" against Freeze. This ends up being DoubleSubverted though since even though Ivy was trying to kill Robin, he was actually wearing rubber lips to protect himself from her poison, thus surviving his kiss with her and tricking her into sharing a passionate kiss with him.
-->'''Robin''': ''(turns to leave)'' I've gotta stop him-!
-->'''Poison Ivy''': ''(pulls hims back)'' One kiss. My love. ... ''For luck''...
--> ''(They lean in and share a kiss, with Robin unaware of Ivy's evil smirk)''
-->'''Poison Ivy''': (mock sadness as she rubs noses with Robin and strokes his chin) ''[[ExactWords Bad luck]]'' I'm afraid.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: She attempts this with Nora Fries. Batman later reveals to Freeze he (Batman) was able to save her.
* TheMuse: Creator/JoelSchumacher stated that he specifically chose Creator/UmaThurman because of his infatuation with her portrayal of [[Film/TheAdventuresOfBaronMunchausen Venus]] when he was younger.
* NearVillainVictory: She actually comes close to achieving her plans. Despite Robin surviving their kiss, she quickly immobilizes him by shoving him into her pond to drown him, then has her plants try to crush Batman when he jumps her. She managed to defeat the Dynamic Duo in a matter of seconds and if not for Batgirl's timely arrival, she would have escaped to join Mr.Freeze in his plan to freeze over Gotham.
* NobodyCanDie: Averted. Despite the film's aim to be more family-driven than ''Film/BatmanForever'', Ivy kills three men in a fairly PG-gruesome manner and the audience is informed of a fourth victim as well.
* NotSoFinalConfession: When Robin confronts her in her lair she tells him what she and Freeze have planned to gain his trust, believing he won't live long enough to make any use of it. Then, after finally kissing him, she immediately taunts him by telling him it is time to die. However, Robin survives thanks to his rubber lips, meaning Ivy revealed her plans to him and admitted her love to him was a lie for nothing.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She gets very close and touchy with each of her victims. She pulls in Dr. Woodrue and the Arkham guards by the face to force a kiss on them. She also gets very close to the Dynamic Duo when she first meets them and does it more when she really starts flirting. At Freeze’s hideout she pins Batman down when flirting with him and later corners Robin on a rail walk, pulling him into a hug before slowly leaning in for a kiss with him. The only scene she flirts where she doesn’t seem to invade personal space is her scene with Robin at her lair, where he willingly walks over and lays next to her and she only leans in for a kiss with him after he finally submits to her, never actually forcing a kiss on him like her other victims.
* NotGoodWithRejection: After Batman resists her seduction she focuses all her attention on Robin and has Bane try to kill Batman. After Robin tricks her into revealing her plan and reveals how he survived her kiss, she shoves him into the pond to drown him instead of forcing a second kiss on him.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Narrowly averted. While Freeze and Bane are presented as the greatest physical threat to Batman and Robin, she's the film's primary schemer and presents a much more serious threat to the heroes' mortality by way of her KissOfDeath. Unfortunately, her IdiotBall levels of [[{{Pride}} arrogance]] and GenreBlindness keep her from being able to make good on her threats.
* OhCrap: She has this reaction a few times:
** After realizing Robin tricked her into telling him her plan and survived her kiss with rubber lips, though this quickly changes from shock to [[DeathGlare anger]].
** When she learns Freeze is her new cellmate at Arkham.
* OrgasmicCombat: Ivy's plants are prone to making rather indelicate noises that often sound like uncontrollable sighing, giggling, hissing and moaning, even when attacking their prey. It has been stated that this is because Ivy's plants are sentient, but they are also primitive creatures with clear predatory behaviors and no social filters who are new to the sights, sounds and pleasures of the world.
* OutGambitted: Her charms and seduction ultimately failed to break apart Batman and Robin. When she thought she had Robin wrapped around her finger in her lair she thought all he needed was one more push before they shared a kiss, and willingly [[JustBetweenYouAndMe told him her plan]] because she didn't think he'd live to make use of it. She finally got her kiss with Robin, but since he finally listened to Batman and protected his lips it was useless and she revealed herself by bragging too soon. Her tactic to kill Robin by seducing him failed ''and'' worked against her when she couldn't tell he was now faking his love the same way she was, and Robin beat her with her own kiss.
* PaperThinDisguise: When in her civilian identity of Pamela Isley she wears a blond wig. As Poison Ivy, she hides her identity with beautiful dresses, different hairstyles and wearing ivy leaves on her eyebrows as a "mask." She even loses the "mask" with her last costume change in her lair, instead wearing heavy eyeshadows.
* PlantPerson: [[SarcasmMode Shockingly enough]].
* PungeonMaster: As bad as Freeze. Though her line about "help(ing) you grab your rocks" was arguably quite funny.
* 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.
* PragmaticVillainy: She decides not to use her KissOfDeath on Commissioner Gordon after getting the location of the Bat-Signal out of him. Not for any moral reasons, but because he's too old for her.
* PsychoticSmirk: She does this usually after having manipulated someone or killing them with her kiss. She can be seen with a nasty one while leaning in to kiss Robin.
* {{Sadist}}: After she's reborn as Poison Ivy, most of the crimes she's responsible for have little to do with the Earth and stem more jealousy and bloodlust. This fits with Ivy's comic characterization, as she's more prone to using ecoterrorism as a front to kill whoever displeases her or just for the fun of it even if she does care about saving plants.
* SameLanguageDub: Although still portrayed by Creator/UmaThurman, she re-dubbed all of her lines for the final theatrical release, as evidenced by the slightly higher-pitched, breathier intonations of her speech in trailers. According to the director, this was to give her a more sultry baritone as well as a more visibly-pronounced drawl. She has stated that she worked with a vocal coach on the voice, and that the original voice was 'less Mae West, more Marilyn'.
* {{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).
* SexSells: In the Blu-Ray commentary, Creator/JoelSchumacher admits that much of Ivy's character was written "for the dads."
* ShipTease: She spends most of the movie seducing Robin and making him fall completely in love with her.
* ShipSinking: She ends up with neither of her would-be-love-interests by the end of the film, all because of her own lies and manipulations.
** Her efforts to have Mr. Freeze for herself fail when Batman saves his wife and shows him a confession of her attempted murder.
** Despite her romantic flirting with Robin, she "breaks up" with him after they finally share a kiss. Robin protected himself from her poison and she shoved him into the pond to drown him, angered by his trickery and betrayal of her trust.
* ShutUpKirk: She does these while seducing Robin.
** At Freeze's hideout she ambushes Robin after Bane knocks him aside. When Robin tries to place her under arrest, telling her to surrender, she interrupts him, completely unintimidated by him, with a mocking "to you?" and blows her love dust in his face and offers him a kiss.
** At her lair, she and Robin declare their love for each other and she gains his trust by revealing what she and Freeze planned. Before Robin leaves, she finally succeeds in seducing him and plants a passionate kiss on his lips with a smile. After the kiss, she mocks Robin that it was for "bad luck" and condemns him to death with a smirk. When Robin reveals he was wearing rubber lips that protected him from her poison, she glares at him for outsmarting her and stealing a kiss from her and quickly shoves him into her plant-infested lily pond to drown. As Robin struggles for air, Ivy watches for a moment with a smile before walking away, leaving him to his fate. Just to add insult to injury, she officially "breaks up" with him by quickly waving goodbye and mockingly shouting a final "see ya!" to him.
* SlouchOfVillainy: Decides to kick her feet up when she discovers the Turkish Baths. By the time Robin discovers them, it's [[ChairReveal a little]] [[FantasticFlora different]].
* StatuesqueStunner: Creator/UmaThurman is six feet tall all by herself; add heels to the mix and she's taller than both George and Chris, who had to be stood on pedestals for the rainforest ball scene. In fact, in heels she stands at almost the same height as 6'2" costar Arnold Schwarzenegger.
* StunnedSilence: Part of her OhCrap moment to discovering Robin outsmarted her into revealing her plan to him and managed to steal a kiss from her, is to stare in shock at his rubber lips before [[DeathGlare glaring]] at him.
* SupervillainLair: Runs out a gang of violent squatters to take over an abandoned Turkish bathhouse and make it over into her own private paradise.
* TaintedVeins: Her victims show this after ingesting the Venom from her poison kisses. As shown with Woodrue, the tongue also becomes a discolored shade of green.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Aims to do this with Freeze.
* TakeThatKiss:
** When she first becomes Poison Ivy the first thing she does is take revenge on Woodrue for trying to kill her. She gives him a big kiss on the lips and taunts him immediately that she's poison, pushing him backwards as he dies.
** Once she finally kisses Robin she reveals her [[BitchInSheepsClothing true colors]] and taunts it is time for him to die. However, it turns out ''she'' was the one who received this, not Robin. Robin was pretending to still be in love with her until he knew [[SecretTestOfCharacter if she could be trusted]] and tricked her into revealing her plan to him first. He just stayed long enough to [[TestKiss share a kiss]] with his crush like he wanted. Ivy was ''pissed'' once she discovered not only had Robin outsmarted her, he stole a kiss from her.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: She uses her beauty and charms to flirt with different men and lure them to their deaths all to get what she wants. She spends a majority of the film seducing Robin, tricking him into thinking she loves him and manipulating him romantically, all just to lure him to his death and break him and Batman apart. She however becomes angered once she discovers Robin has betrayed her trust, tricking her into revealing what she and Freeze are planning and stealing a kiss from her while his lips are protected. For once ''she'' was the one being romantically manipulated, and she didn't take too kindly to it.
* TermsOfEndangerment: She has several pet names for Robin when flirting with him, calling him "Pretty Birdie", "Polly", "My Love" and "Little Robin".
* TheVamp: She sweet talks any man she can and lures them in for her deadly kiss.
* VillainDecay: By the end of the film, she's literally wilting away in a prison cell as she picks away the petals of a dead flower and pines over Freeze.
* VillainousCrush: She becomes attracted to Mr. Freeze after meeting him and breaks him out of Arkham to achieve their plans together, even trying to murder his wife so she can have him to herself.
** She plays with this during her seductions of Batman and Robin, flirting with them to drive them apart and lure them in for a kiss. It works better on Robin, who falls completely in love with her and convinces him she feels the same way about him.
* VillainExitStageLeft:
** At Freeze's lair she escapes while Batman and Robin are distracted fighting over her (or more specifically Robin fighting Batman over her) and laughs at them as she gets away.
** She attempts this again at her lair. After Robin survives her kiss she shoves him into the pond to have her vines drown him and she waves goodbye as she attempts to leaves. This attempt is stopped by Batman and Batgirl though.
* VillainessesWantHeroes: With Robin. Though subverted. She only pretends to be in love with Robin to drive him and Batman apart. After Robin survives her kiss, she shoves "her love" off the romantic rose throne they were sharing and into the pond, essentially breaking up with him.
* VillainousFaceHold: She does these during her seductions, disguising them as romantic gestures as she pulls her intended victim in for a KissOfDeath.
** She cups Woodrue's face while he was on his knees in awe at her, and pulls him into a kiss.
** She gently places her hand on an Arkham guard's face as she kisses him, and when he drops to the floor choking on her posion she quickly grabs the other guard's face before he can react and forcfully pulls him into a kiss too.
** When she flirts with Robin in Freeze's lair, she grabs him by the chin as she attempts to lean in for a kiss. Later after she has successfully seduced him for a kiss at her lair, she gently places a hand on his face as they begin leaning in, and strokes his chin in mock sadness after the kiss while condemning him to death.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Her idea of a big, romantic gesture with Mr. Freeze, complete with killer plants and vengeance.
** Part of Ivy's machinations to turn Robin against Batman was inviting him to join up with her instead. Robin buys it, at first.
--> '''Poison Ivy''': Living in the shadow of the big, bad Bat... You don't need him. ''You're'' the star! I can see it now- you're own big, ''bright'' [[{{Foreshadowing}} signal in the sky]]...! [[{{WeCanRuleTogether}} Let me ''guide'' you...]]
-->'''Poison Ivy''': Let me ''kiss'' you...
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She starts this way, at the very least; although it doesn't take long before this ends up as a [[BrokenAesop major subversion]]. Bruce even notes this when she, in her guise as Dr. Isley, tries to talk to him about how humanity is destroying the planet.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Stated word-for-word in-script; invoked via the magic of InformedAttractiveness.

[[foldercintrol]]
[[folder:A-L]]
* AdaptationOriginConnection: She created the steroid-like Venom that gives Bane his strength.
* AdaptationalJerkass[=/=]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.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Discussed in the principal screenplay and the official adult novelization by Michael Jan Friedman; She finds herself admiring Bane's penchant for violence and destruction on numerous occasions (even before her villainous transformation), and reveals in exposition that what attracts her to Freeze is his inhuman appearance and powers, even calling him 'fabulously elemental' and good-looking and masculine 'in a grotesque sort of way'.
* AllThereInTheManual: One of the major plot holes people found in the movie was that Freeze's plan would have killed plant life in the ecosystem. Going along with said plan was in fact a conscious choice on Ivy's part, as in the script and the junior novelization, there is a part where she crushes a flower after proclaiming, "Sorry, hon', this is {{for science}}." This actually does make some sense to Ivy's characterization since one of her defining traits from the comics is that, for as much as Ivy professes she cares about the environment, she's also a sadist who tends to overlook her own hypocrisy so long as she gets to hurt people. This was especially prominent in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.
* AlmostKiss: She attempts to kiss Robin twice while at Freeze's hideout, but both attempts are thwarted by Batman, the first accidentally and the second due to his warning right as they were leaning in. Averted with the third attempt, where they finally kiss in her lair once they are alone.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Series/{{Batwoman}} Earth-Prime]].
* AmbitionIsEvil: Goes from [[AnimalWrongsGroup vengeful eco-terrorist]] to genocidal megalomaniac who plans to use Freeze's weapon to wipe out all human (and most plant) life so that she can rule over a race of mutant plants with Freeze by her side. There's ''definitely'' a BrokenAesop in there somewhere. Yikes.
* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: Her numerous (and we mean ''numerous'') sexual references are just about the sole reason for ''Batman & Robin'''s PG-13 rating, save a few swear words here and there.
* AwkwardKiss: Zigzagged with Robin and only really awkward on her side. The kiss itself is passionate, but immediately after it she [[MomentKiller ruins the romantic mood]] by revealing she was lying about loving Robin and expects him to die. When Robin reveals he won’t die, Ivy is [[OhCrap shocked]] and [[StunnedSilence stunned silent for awhile]], realizing she just revealed herself to Robin and kissed him for nothing.
* BackstabBackfire: She finally gets Robin alone in her lair and shares a kiss with him, believing that she has finally poisoned him. But she has actually played right into his hands, and he survived thanks to wearing rubber lips for protection. Therefore not only did her attempt to kill him fail, she revealed the whole plan to him and revealed that she has been deceiving him the whole time.
* BareYourMidriff: Rises from her grave with her garments [[{{Stripperific}} fashionably tattered in a less-than-practical manner]] thanks to InstantCostumeChange.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: With Freeze (Brains) and Bane (Brawn). Potentially averted in that, while Freeze is clearly a bit of a GeniusBruiser by way of [[InformedAbility Informed Intelligence]], Ivy does the lion's share of the [[SmugSnake scheming]] amongst the three.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Pamela Isley found out her boss Dr. Woodrue was using her research for his own megalomaniacal ends and announced her efforts to get him fired and blacklisted. After becoming Poison Ivy, she seeks to do exactly what Dr. Woodrue planned to do (that is, TakeOverTheWorld).
* BigBad: Acts as the main antagonist of ''Batman & Robin''. She is the main force driving Batman and Robin apart and she is the one who tricks Freeze into wanting the duo dead by lying about his wife.
* BigNo: Gives one when Batgirl defeats her and her throne closes up on her.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She acts like a normal beautiful woman during her seductions but is actually luring her victims to their death by convincing them to share a poisoned kiss with her. She drops the act the moment she believes she has won and taunts her victims as they die by her side. In Robin's case, she convinced him she loved him and revealed her plan to him, only to reveal her true colors after their kiss, and then try to drown him after realizing her kiss didn't work on him.
* BondBreaker: Her pheromones cause tension between Batman and Robin.
* BondVillainStupidity: She crosses into this towards the end of the film. She tells Robin what she and Freeze are planning to convince him to kiss her, believing he won't live to make use of the info. But after Robin reveals he survived the kiss with rubber lips, and removes them while sitting next to her, she angrily shoves him into the pond to drown him instead of grabbing him and forcing a second kiss on him. She also leaves Robin instead of staying to make sure he dies, and mockingly waves him goodbye while shouting "see ya!" to him, treating it more like she's breaking up with him than trying to kill him.
* {{Burlesque}}: Stripteases in a ''Blonde Venus''-inspired magenta gorilla suit in her BigEntrance at the Rainforest Ball. Also features ShakingTheRump, SexyWalk, and a small ThreePointLanding onto a [[MrFanservice bed of]] [[{{Loincloth}} male]] [[PerpetuallyShinyBodies performers]].
* CameBackWrong: Her death at the hands of Dr. Woodrue early in the movie resulted in her toxic rebirth as Poison Ivy.
* CardCarryingVillain: She enjoys chewing the scenery and making a big reveal of her evil side once she believes her victims are doomed. She revealed her true colors to Robin after their kiss, believing he would die, not expecting he would have a way to counter her kiss, and openly bragged to Batgirl about killing Freeze's wife. This comes back to bite her when a recording of her confession is given to Freeze, and he takes his revenge on her in prison.
--> So many people to kill SO LITTLE TIME!
* ChairReveal: Zigzagged. She is shown many times before this in the film, but when Robin comes to her lair he makes his way to the center where there is a giant rose. The rose blooms to reveal Ivy sitting in it like a throne, greeting the sidekick seductively.
* ClarkKenting: An extreme case; she wears leafy eye masks to conceal her identity. That's right: ''eye masks''. At least the heroes have the decency to at least wear [[DominoMask domino masks]]. She even loses this "mask" by her last costume, instead wearing heavy eyeshadows that match the color of her hair and new red dress.
* ConvenientlyCellmates: With Freeze at the end of ''Batman & Robin''.
* CurbStompBattle: She is on both the giving and receiving end of this during the final scene in her lair.
** She delivers this to both of the Dynamic Duo in quick succession. After her kiss fails to kill Robin, she angrily shoves him off her throne and into her lily-pond, where her plants immediately begin to drown him. As she smugly walks away she runs right into Batman, who ambushes her in his own trap. She immediately defeats him before he can do anything by having her vines ensnare him and begin crushing him. She begins to leave the Dynamic Duo trapped and defeated, and would have escaped if not for Batgirl's arrival. Although both Robin and Batman survive their traps and manage to escape, Ivy would have still managed to escape from them and join Freeze had Batgirl not arrived.
** She is on the receiving end when Batgirl arrives in her lair before she can leave. Batgirl knocks her around while giving her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech for using her charms to get her way. Batgirl disarms her of every weapon she uses against her and eventually knocks her back on to her own throne. The flower-bed then closes on her, trapping her until she was arrested.
* DatingCatwoman: She invokes this with Robin. She gets him to fall in love with her after just their first meeting, and convinces him that she will even change sides to be with him. She manipulated him and drives him and Batman apart just by flirting with him. Though they officially “break up” after their kiss when Ivy realizes Robin has tricked her and she shoves him into her pond to drown him.
* DeathGlare: After Robin reveals he OutGambitted her, tricking her into telling her plan and surviving her kiss, she gives him a very dirty glare. She's so angry and humiliated she shoves him from her throne and into the pond to drown him instead of forcing a second kiss on him.
* DesignatedGirlFight: With Batgirl. She easily disposed of both Robin and Batman in her lair, but once Batgirl shows up she is the only one to actually put up a fight against Ivy, being immune to her charms and forcing Ivy to get her hands dirty.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: After Robin survives her kiss and removes his rubber lips, she angrily shoves him into her pond to drown him, when she could have forced a second kiss on him. Then she walks off and taunts the drowning hero instead of staying to finish him, treating it like she's just mocking him by "breaking up with him". As a result Robin survives and knows her plan.
* DoubleEntendre: If Mr. Freeze is the [[HurricaneOfPuns King of Puns]], then Poison Ivy is the Queen of this trope.
* DyingCurse: "Curses!" Subverted in that she survives.
* EmotionalPowers: In a way, her plants react to how she is and change with her emotions. At her lair they help set the romantic mood when Ivy seduces Robin, slowly closing the exit behind him and opening up to reveal Ivy the way a curtain closes and opens, and raining flowers from the ceiling once the two of them are together. Once Ivy is angered by Robin's trickery, fooling her into revealing her plan and kissing him, they violently turn against Robin and try to drown him when she shoves him into the pond.
* EnemyMine: With Mr. Freeze.
* EngineeredPublicConfession: "As I told Lady Freeze when I pulled her plug... this is a one-woman show."
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: With the aid of her [[LovePotion pheromones]], if some of the gazes of female partygoers at the Rainforest Ball are any indication.
* EvilGloating: She can't help but gloat when she believes she is in control. This has actually worked against her. After kissing Robin she immediately mocks him and his upcoming death instead of waiting for the effects to start. This proves to Robin her love to him is fake, and since he wore rubber lips to protect him from her kiss he wasn't poisoned, which Ivy would have realized if she waited longer before revealing her true colors to him. Then during her fight with Batgirl she brags about how she was the one who tried to kill Freeze's wife, which Batman recorded and presented to Freeze.
* EvilMakeover: One of the more interesting side-effects of Venom is its ability to turn a ShrinkingViolet into MsFanservice. Over the course of the film, her costume, hair, and makeup choices become more bold, brazen, [[UpToEleven crazy, over-the-top, drag queen-flamboyant]].
* ExactWords: Right as Robin is about to leave her lair, she grabs him and asks him for a kiss "for luck". After the two share a quick passionate kiss, Ivy pulls away and sneers "''Bad'' luck I'm afraid."
* {{Expy}}: Poison Ivy is a mixture of Catwoman's rebirth origin story from ''[[Film/BatmanReturns Returns]]'' and The Riddler's MadScientist origin story from ''[[Film/BatmanForever Forever]]''. Stated by Creator/JoelSchumacher that his original intent was to have Creator/NicoleKidman portray Ivy in ''Film/BatmanForever'', hence why (aside from Elliot Goldenthal's recycled score) Ivy and Chase's {{Sexophone}} motifs are so similar.
* FantasticFlora: Poison Ivy has a plethora of killer mutant plants that giggle, sigh, moan, hiss...and ''kill''. They can crush a man, engulf a building in mere minutes, and [[ManEatingPlant swallow somebody whole]]. [[LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey II]], eat your heart out.
* FatalFlaw: Her [[{{Pride}} arrogance]]; she is completely confident in her planning and abilities that she never even considers something could go wrong, and this causes her to make several mistakes. This is best shown during each of her confrontations with the heroes during the final scene in her lair.
** She lured Robin to her lair with the "Robin-signal" she previously alluded to in her seductions, but was surprised when Batman and Batgirl showed up too, because she pretty much gave away her location.
** While trying to seduce Robin for a kiss in her lair, she believes Robin is still completely in love with her and never suspects he might be trying to play her, even when he refuses to kiss her unless she tells him her plan. If she had waited just a few moments after their kiss she would have noticed Robin was unaffected by her poison, but instead she immediately begins mocking him and tells him it is "time to die", thus revealing her deception to him and failing his SecretTestOfCharacter.
** While fighting Batgirl, she boasts to her that she was the one who pulled Nora's plug for no other reason than to make a death threat to Batgirl. Not only is she easily defeated and humiliated by Batgirl after this, but Batman recorded her confession during the fight and shows it to Mr. Freeze, which earns her Freeze's wrath when they are put in Arkham as cellmates.
* FauxActionGirl: While Catwoman could put up a fight against Batman, she just leaves Bane to do her fighting for her and later has an incredibly lame fight with Batwoman.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She acts sweet and lovingly around others, but it is all just an act to lure them in for a kiss before revealing her true colors as they slowly die. The best example is with Robin, who she seduces throughout the film and convinces him she loves him. Once she succeeds in kissing him tough, she stops the act and taunts him as she believes he will die shortly and becomes enraged when she discovers ''he's'' the one who tricked her.
* FemmeFatale: A beautiful but evil woman, who uses her sexy looks to her full advantage. She had Robin completely in love with her since he first saw her at the Ball, and she had been plotting his and Batman's deaths since she began flirting with them.
* ForcefulKiss: She does this to most of her victims. After seducing them she grabs them and pulls them in close to deliver a fateful kiss, though after overcoming the shock of this they are usually kissing back, only to drop dead moments later.
* FourthDateMarriage: She invokes this on Robin during her seductions. Robin quickly falls in love with her in the short time they meet and is completely convinced that she loves him too. They have a total of three meetings/dates together: first when they meet at the charity ball where Robin gets into a bidding war for Ivy against Batman and she blows Robin a kiss goodbye, then at Freeze's hideout Ivy ambushes and flirts heavily with Robin when he is supposed to arrest her, only for their flirting to be interrupted by Batman, and finally when Ivy calls Robin to her lair where they admit their "love" for each other and share their first kiss. This last meeting is when Robin, only a tells her he "wants them to be together", despite only being in a "relationship" with her for a few days and neither of them knowing each others real name. However, this is all somewhat justified as Ivy was using her [[LoveIsInTheAir pheromone dust]] on Robin, which slowly turned his crush on her into blind devoted love and interfered with his judgment, and she herself was purposely rushing things to get him to kiss her faster. Ultimatly it is subverted though, as Robin never actually asks Ivy to marry him, nor does she accept any proposals from him. The two only flirt together and say how much they love each other and want to be together. Ivy ultimately ends their "relationship" with only one kiss shared between them.
* FreakLabAccident: How she became Poison Ivy.
** Her only victim that wasn't subject to this was Robin. During her seductions of Robin she never grabs him and forces herself on him. Instead she takes a slower approach and makes him fall in love with her until he willingly leans in for a kiss with her. When Robin confronts her in her lair he willingly kisses her after she tells him what he wants to know. She doesn't even force a second kiss on him after he removes his rubber lips, instead shoving him into her pond to have her plants drown him, apparently enraged that [[NotGoodWithRejection he actually managed to see through her ruse and trick her]] and humiliated that he [[TakeThatKiss stole a kiss from her]].
* GaiasVengeance: She invokes shades of this trope in an impassioned speech after killing Dr. Woodrue with her [[KissOfDeath poison kiss]] as she prepares to burn the lab to the ground.
-->I am Nature's arm, her spirit, her will. Hell, [[AGodAmI I am Mother Nature]].
* {{Glamour}}: Her [[LovePotion pheromones]] can affect entire crowds, as noted at the Rainforest Ball.
* AGodAmI: Makes a variety of {{Blasphemous Boast}}s and seeks to destroy the world and rebuild it [[InTheirOwnImage in her own image]].
* GoneHorriblyRight: One possible reason her human-hating plants turned on her.
** Her plants were probably [[TheStarscream waiting to reach maturity]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness before turning on the human who taught them to hate all humans]].
* GreenEyedMonster: Reacts ''very'' poorly to the fact that Freeze has a wife ("You never said anything about a wife!"), and pulls the plug on Nora's life support in an attempt to keep Freeze all for herself.
* GreenThumb: Being that, for better or worse, she's still ''Poison-freaking-Ivy'', this trope is practically a given.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: After Robin survives their kiss and now knows what her plan is, ruining her JustBetweenYouAndMe, she angrily shoves him into the pond to drown him. Though she doesn't bother to stay and make sure he drowns.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Batgirl defeats her by knocking her back onto her Rose Throne, which then closes up on her and leaves her trapped. For added irony, she used the throne as part of her seduction of Robin, being part of her ChairReveal, leaving a space for him to lay next to her, being where they finally shared a kiss and she shoved him from it after learning of his treachery. The symbol of her false love for him was ultimately her own undoing, and she shoved him out of its range of harm in anger. Why she can't just open it again is anybody's guess.
* HurricaneOfPuns:
* {{Hypocrite}}: She claims she wants to save plant life and undo the damage done to the environment, yet her schemes with Freeze would ultimately end up doing far more damage to Earth's ecosystem than it would save. She also burned her plant-filled laboratory to the ground.
* IAmTheTrope: "Hell, I ''am'' Mother Nature!"
* ILied: Played straight mostly, with the final case being more a case of ExactWords. She reveals what she and Freeze have planned to Robin to gain his trust, that much was true, but was also the only truth she told him. After asking for a kiss [[MotivationalKiss "for luck"]] from him, and finally sharing a quick romantic kiss, she mocks him that it was for "bad luck", revealing her entire love story about switching sides so they can be together was a lie.
* InformedAttractiveness: The script actually calls her "the most beautiful woman in the world." Between that and Creator/JoelSchumacher's confession that he chose Creator/UmaThurman because he was infatuated with her Venus in ''Film/TheAdventuresOfBaronMunchausen'', one could almost be excused for thinking that this film was made by [[TheMuse Quentin Tarantino]].
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: A great deal of her attraction to Freeze seems to be his predisposition for chaos.
* 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?
-->'''Poison Ivy''': Enough sweet talk...
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: She tries this on Robin, luring him to her lair and agreeing to tell him what she and Freeze are planning in exchange for a kiss. Robin gives her her long awaited kiss after one too many flirts. Subverted in that Robin survived their kiss thanks to wearing rubber lips to protect himself.
* KickTheDog: She spends a majority of the film seducing Robin and making him think she's in love with him. Once they finally share a kiss at her lair, she immediately drops the act and rubs it in his face that he's going to die. Shortly afterwards when she realizes he outsmarted her, she shoves him from the throne they were sharing into her pond to drown him, and as he struggles against her vines she walks off, waves him goodbye and smugly says "see ya!" as if she were breaking up with him.
* KissOfDeath: Her lips are filled with poison as a result of her FreakLabAccident. Rubber lips are immune to her charms, however.
* KnifeNut: She pulls out a knife during her fight with Batgirl, though it is subverted as it does nothing to help her and Batgirl immediately kicks it out of her hand.
* KubrickStare: Uma seems to be a fan of this in photoshoots and promotional materials.
* LadyInRed: Although she wears a green outfit similar to what she wears in the comics for most of the film, she wears a red dress during the final confrontion with her in her lair. She is also seen wearing a slightly different red dress in promos.
* LadyMacbeth: To Mr. Freeze. She lies to him, telling him that Batman has killed his wife, and convinces him to take his vengeance out on Gotham and the rest of the world. Freeze is quick to agree to this plan.
* LargeHam: You can tell Uma Thurman was having the time of her life.
* LoveIsInTheAir: Her pheromones, or love dust, makes men around her more susceptible to her beauty and seductions to the point that Robin falls in love with her even with out her using them on him. Though Mr. Freeze is completely immune to them and those with a strong will like Batman can resist them.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Invokes a bit of this in Robin. She ''definitely'' becomes a victim of this herself with Mr. Freeze which leads to her eventual VillainDecay from NotSoHarmlessVillain to a GreenEyedMonster who winds up rotting away in Arkham while her beloved, now her cellmate, vows to make her life a living hell as retribution for the attempted murder of his ill wife.
* LovePotion: "Pheromone dust: designed to heat a man's blood."
* LoveRedeems: She invokes this with her seductions of Robin, promising to guide him into being his own man and "turn over a new leaf." Averted however as she was lying to Robin the whole time and never really loved him.
* LoverNotAFighter: She invokes this trope. She mainly relies on her love-dust and seductions to lure others into a KissOfDeath, and keeps Bane around for any heavy lifting that needs to be done. This is zig-zagged during the final scene in her lair though, when Bane is with Freeze she easily defeats Robin and Batman by herself in seconds and fights with Batgirl for a moment before getting [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] by her.
--->'''Poison Ivy:''' I'm a lover, not a fighter. That's why every Poison Ivy action figure comes complete with him!
[[/foler]]
[[folder:M-W]]
* MadScientist: Before her transformation, she was appalled to learn Dr. Woodrue was using her research for his own evil ends, but after becoming Poison Ivy, she aims to eliminate humanity and replace them with plant/animal hybrids.
* ManEatingPlant: The flower throne that Ivy reclines on in her lair doubles as one. It is also ultimately her downfall, as when Batgirl knocks her on to it during their fight it closes on her, trapping her and apparently doing a number on her beauty.
* ManipulativeBitch: She serves as the primary BigBad of the film to drive the conflict, raises the stakes by convincing Mr. Freeze that Batman killed his wife, and manipulating him into using his freeze gun as a doomsday device.
* MomentKiller: She suffers this constantly during her seductions of Robin.
** At Freeze's lair, she ambushes Robin and quickly seduces him for a kiss. But right before their lips can meet, Batman accidentally startles them when he lands right in-front of them, being thrown over the side rails by Bane.
** Later, she manages to make Robin fall completely in love with her and convinces him she will [[LoveRedeems guide him to being his own man and switch sides for him]]. But right as she leans in for a kiss, Batman shouts at him not to kiss. The ensuring fight between him and and an enraged Robin though, allows her to escape unnoticed.
** At Ivy's lair though, she and Robin actually kill the moment themselves. After gaining Robin's trust and finally sharing a passionate kiss with him, Ivy mockingly reveals her true colors and condemns him to death while mock flirting with him in a fake sad voice. Robin then kills it further by revealing he wore rubber lips, revealing that he didn't actually trust Ivy completely and was immune to her poison, meaning she just exposed herself for nothing. Both of them exposing their lies and deceptions to each other kills the romantic mood between them, and Ivy, enraged that Robin managed to trick her ''and'' [[TakeThatKiss steal a kiss from her]], ends their "relationship" by shoving him off her throne and into her lily pond to drown him, then mockingly waves him goodbye and leaves him to die, just to rub in that she's "breaking up with him."
* MotivationalKiss: Though not in the spirit intended Ivy isn't beneath using this kind of "heartfelt gesture" to manipulate her victims. Especially Batman & Robin. When Robin learns from Ivy that Freeze is going to destroy Gotham he attempts to make a sharp exit, only for her to stop him and tells him to kiss her quickly, "for luck" against Freeze. This ends up being DoubleSubverted though since even though Ivy was trying to kill Robin, he was actually wearing rubber lips to protect himself from her poison, thus surviving his kiss with her and tricking her into sharing a passionate kiss with him.
-->'''Robin''': ''(turns to leave)'' I've gotta stop him-!
-->'''Poison Ivy''': ''(pulls hims back)'' One kiss. My love. ... ''For luck''...
--> ''(They lean in and share a kiss, with Robin unaware of Ivy's evil smirk)''
-->'''Poison Ivy''': (mock sadness as she rubs noses with Robin and strokes his chin) ''[[ExactWords Bad luck]]'' I'm afraid.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: She attempts this with Nora Fries. Batman later reveals to Freeze he (Batman) was able to save her.
* TheMuse: Creator/JoelSchumacher stated that he specifically chose Creator/UmaThurman because of his infatuation with her portrayal of [[Film/TheAdventuresOfBaronMunchausen Venus]] when he was younger.
* NearVillainVictory: She actually comes close to achieving her plans. Despite Robin surviving their kiss, she quickly immobilizes him by shoving him into her pond to drown him, then has her plants try to crush Batman when he jumps her. She managed to defeat the Dynamic Duo in a matter of seconds and if not for Batgirl's timely arrival, she would have escaped to join Mr.Freeze in his plan to freeze over Gotham.
* NobodyCanDie: Averted. Despite the film's aim to be more family-driven than ''Film/BatmanForever'', Ivy kills three men in a fairly PG-gruesome manner and the audience is informed of a fourth victim as well.
* NotSoFinalConfession: When Robin confronts her in her lair she tells him what she and Freeze have planned to gain his trust, believing he won't live long enough to make any use of it. Then, after finally kissing him, she immediately taunts him by telling him it is time to die. However, Robin survives thanks to his rubber lips, meaning Ivy revealed her plans to him and admitted her love to him was a lie for nothing.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She gets very close and touchy with each of her victims. She pulls in Dr. Woodrue and the Arkham guards by the face to force a kiss on them. She also gets very close to the Dynamic Duo when she first meets them and does it more when she really starts flirting. At Freeze’s hideout she pins Batman down when flirting with him and later corners Robin on a rail walk, pulling him into a hug before slowly leaning in for a kiss with him. The only scene she flirts where she doesn’t seem to invade personal space is her scene with Robin at her lair, where he willingly walks over and lays next to her and she only leans in for a kiss with him after he finally submits to her, never actually forcing a kiss on him like her other victims.
* NotGoodWithRejection: After Batman resists her seduction she focuses all her attention on Robin and has Bane try to kill Batman. After Robin tricks her into revealing her plan and reveals how he survived her kiss, she shoves him into the pond to drown him instead of forcing a second kiss on him.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Narrowly averted. While Freeze and Bane are presented as the greatest physical threat to Batman and Robin, she's the film's primary schemer and presents a much more serious threat to the heroes' mortality by way of her KissOfDeath. Unfortunately, her IdiotBall levels of [[{{Pride}} arrogance]] and GenreBlindness keep her from being able to make good on her threats.
* OhCrap: She has this reaction a few times:
** After realizing Robin tricked her into telling him her plan and survived her kiss with rubber lips, though this quickly changes from shock to [[DeathGlare anger]].
** When she learns Freeze is her new cellmate at Arkham.
* OrgasmicCombat: Ivy's plants are prone to making rather indelicate noises that often sound like uncontrollable sighing, giggling, hissing and moaning, even when attacking their prey. It has been stated that this is because Ivy's plants are sentient, but they are also primitive creatures with clear predatory behaviors and no social filters who are new to the sights, sounds and pleasures of the world.
* OutGambitted: Her charms and seduction ultimately failed to break apart Batman and Robin. When she thought she had Robin wrapped around her finger in her lair she thought all he needed was one more push before they shared a kiss, and willingly [[JustBetweenYouAndMe told him her plan]] because she didn't think he'd live to make use of it. She finally got her kiss with Robin, but since he finally listened to Batman and protected his lips it was useless and she revealed herself by bragging too soon. Her tactic to kill Robin by seducing him failed ''and'' worked against her when she couldn't tell he was now faking his love the same way she was, and Robin beat her with her own kiss.
* PaperThinDisguise: When in her civilian identity of Pamela Isley she wears a blond wig. As Poison Ivy, she hides her identity with beautiful dresses, different hairstyles and wearing ivy leaves on her eyebrows as a "mask." She even loses the "mask" with her last costume change in her lair, instead wearing heavy eyeshadows.
* PlantPerson: [[SarcasmMode Shockingly enough]].
* PungeonMaster: As bad as Freeze. Though her line about "help(ing) you grab your rocks" was arguably quite funny.
* 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.
* PragmaticVillainy: She decides not to use her KissOfDeath on Commissioner Gordon after getting the location of the Bat-Signal out of him. Not for any moral reasons, but because he's too old for her.
* PsychoticSmirk: She does this usually after having manipulated someone or killing them with her kiss. She can be seen with a nasty one while leaning in to kiss Robin.
* {{Sadist}}: After she's reborn as Poison Ivy, most of the crimes she's responsible for have little to do with the Earth and stem more jealousy and bloodlust. This fits with Ivy's comic characterization, as she's more prone to using ecoterrorism as a front to kill whoever displeases her or just for the fun of it even if she does care about saving plants.
* SameLanguageDub: Although still portrayed by Creator/UmaThurman, she re-dubbed all of her lines for the final theatrical release, as evidenced by the slightly higher-pitched, breathier intonations of her speech in trailers. According to the director, this was to give her a more sultry baritone as well as a more visibly-pronounced drawl. She has stated that she worked with a vocal coach on the voice, and that the original voice was 'less Mae West, more Marilyn'.
* {{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).
* SexSells: In the Blu-Ray commentary, Creator/JoelSchumacher admits that much of Ivy's character was written "for the dads."
* ShipTease: She spends most of the movie seducing Robin and making him fall completely in love with her.
* ShipSinking: She ends up with neither of her would-be-love-interests by the end of the film, all because of her own lies and manipulations.
** Her efforts to have Mr. Freeze for herself fail when Batman saves his wife and shows him a confession of her attempted murder.
** Despite her romantic flirting with Robin, she "breaks up" with him after they finally share a kiss. Robin protected himself from her poison and she shoved him into the pond to drown him, angered by his trickery and betrayal of her trust.
* ShutUpKirk: She does these while seducing Robin.
** At Freeze's hideout she ambushes Robin after Bane knocks him aside. When Robin tries to place her under arrest, telling her to surrender, she interrupts him, completely unintimidated by him, with a mocking "to you?" and blows her love dust in his face and offers him a kiss.
** At her lair, she and Robin declare their love for each other and she gains his trust by revealing what she and Freeze planned. Before Robin leaves, she finally succeeds in seducing him and plants a passionate kiss on his lips with a smile. After the kiss, she mocks Robin that it was for "bad luck" and condemns him to death with a smirk. When Robin reveals he was wearing rubber lips that protected him from her poison, she glares at him for outsmarting her and stealing a kiss from her and quickly shoves him into her plant-infested lily pond to drown. As Robin struggles for air, Ivy watches for a moment with a smile before walking away, leaving him to his fate. Just to add insult to injury, she officially "breaks up" with him by quickly waving goodbye and mockingly shouting a final "see ya!" to him.
* SlouchOfVillainy: Decides to kick her feet up when she discovers the Turkish Baths. By the time Robin discovers them, it's [[ChairReveal a little]] [[FantasticFlora different]].
* StatuesqueStunner: Creator/UmaThurman is six feet tall all by herself; add heels to the mix and she's taller than both George and Chris, who had to be stood on pedestals for the rainforest ball scene. In fact, in heels she stands at almost the same height as 6'2" costar Arnold Schwarzenegger.
* StunnedSilence: Part of her OhCrap moment to discovering Robin outsmarted her into revealing her plan to him and managed to steal a kiss from her, is to stare in shock at his rubber lips before [[DeathGlare glaring]] at him.
* SupervillainLair: Runs out a gang of violent squatters to take over an abandoned Turkish bathhouse and make it over into her own private paradise.
* TaintedVeins: Her victims show this after ingesting the Venom from her poison kisses. As shown with Woodrue, the tongue also becomes a discolored shade of green.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Aims to do this with Freeze.
* TakeThatKiss:
** When she first becomes Poison Ivy the first thing she does is take revenge on Woodrue for trying to kill her. She gives him a big kiss on the lips and taunts him immediately that she's poison, pushing him backwards as he dies.
** Once she finally kisses Robin she reveals her [[BitchInSheepsClothing true colors]] and taunts it is time for him to die. However, it turns out ''she'' was the one who received this, not Robin. Robin was pretending to still be in love with her until he knew [[SecretTestOfCharacter if she could be trusted]] and tricked her into revealing her plan to him first. He just stayed long enough to [[TestKiss share a kiss]] with his crush like he wanted. Ivy was ''pissed'' once she discovered not only had Robin outsmarted her, he stole a kiss from her.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: She uses her beauty and charms to flirt with different men and lure them to their deaths all to get what she wants. She spends a majority of the film seducing Robin, tricking him into thinking she loves him and manipulating him romantically, all just to lure him to his death and break him and Batman apart. She however becomes angered once she discovers Robin has betrayed her trust, tricking her into revealing what she and Freeze are planning and stealing a kiss from her while his lips are protected. For once ''she'' was the one being romantically manipulated, and she didn't take too kindly to it.
* TermsOfEndangerment: She has several pet names for Robin when flirting with him, calling him "Pretty Birdie", "Polly", "My Love" and "Little Robin".
* TheVamp: She sweet talks any man she can and lures them in for her deadly kiss.
* VillainDecay: By the end of the film, she's literally wilting away in a prison cell as she picks away the petals of a dead flower and pines over Freeze.
* VillainousCrush: She becomes attracted to Mr. Freeze after meeting him and breaks him out of Arkham to achieve their plans together, even trying to murder his wife so she can have him to herself.
** She plays with this during her seductions of Batman and Robin, flirting with them to drive them apart and lure them in for a kiss. It works better on Robin, who falls completely in love with her and convinces him she feels the same way about him.
* VillainExitStageLeft:
** At Freeze's lair she escapes while Batman and Robin are distracted fighting over her (or more specifically Robin fighting Batman over her) and laughs at them as she gets away.
** She attempts this again at her lair. After Robin survives her kiss she shoves him into the pond to have her vines drown him and she waves goodbye as she attempts to leaves. This attempt is stopped by Batman and Batgirl though.
* VillainessesWantHeroes: With Robin. Though subverted. She only pretends to be in love with Robin to drive him and Batman apart. After Robin survives her kiss, she shoves "her love" off the romantic rose throne they were sharing and into the pond, essentially breaking up with him.
* VillainousFaceHold: She does these during her seductions, disguising them as romantic gestures as she pulls her intended victim in for a KissOfDeath.
** She cups Woodrue's face while he was on his knees in awe at her, and pulls him into a kiss.
** She gently places her hand on an Arkham guard's face as she kisses him, and when he drops to the floor choking on her posion she quickly grabs the other guard's face before he can react and forcfully pulls him into a kiss too.
** When she flirts with Robin in Freeze's lair, she grabs him by the chin as she attempts to lean in for a kiss. Later after she has successfully seduced him for a kiss at her lair, she gently places a hand on his face as they begin leaning in, and strokes his chin in mock sadness after the kiss while condemning him to death.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Her idea of a big, romantic gesture with Mr. Freeze, complete with killer plants and vengeance.
** Part of Ivy's machinations to turn Robin against Batman was inviting him to join up with her instead. Robin buys it, at first.
--> '''Poison Ivy''': Living in the shadow of the big, bad Bat... You don't need him. ''You're'' the star! I can see it now- you're own big, ''bright'' [[{{Foreshadowing}} signal in the sky]]...! [[{{WeCanRuleTogether}} Let me ''guide'' you...]]
-->'''Poison Ivy''': Let me ''kiss'' you...
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She starts this way, at the very least; although it doesn't take long before this ends up as a [[BrokenAesop major subversion]]. Bruce even notes this when she, in her guise as Dr. Isley, tries to talk to him about how humanity is destroying the planet.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Stated word-for-word in-script; invoked via the magic of InformedAttractiveness.
