History Recap / BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison

* ParentalBonus: Nearly everything [[MsFanservice Poison Ivy]] says and does is this, with her SupermodelStrut being the most noteworthy.

* ActionPrologue: After the exposition-laden opening, the next sequence is Batman fighting his way through a ton of {{Irony}} that his friend Harvey Dent is unintentionally laying on as he describes Bruce Wayne's RichIdiotWithNoDayJob lifestyle.

* StockKisses: Poison Ivy plays with this in regards to her kissing Harvey Dent and Batman. Trying to kill them, but doing so in a very sensuous, sultry way, playing up both as romantic exchanges.

* StockKisses: Poison Ivy plays with this in regards to her kisses with Harvey Dent and Batman.

** She was also quite insistent with Harvey, suddenly grabbing his face and pulling him into a smoldering lip lock. The difference is Dent ultimately consented.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: As far as Poison Ivy knows Batman is the only other person aware of her poisoning Harvey, thus further necessitating his murder on top of him being there to arrest her.

* SecretIdentity: And not just Batman. Since this is her very first appearance the public at large haven't a clue that sweet, charming Dr. Pamela Isley secretly operates as the ruthless eco-terrorist Poison Ivy, let alone said alternate persona even exists. Of course, by the end, Ivy's villainous alter ego is brought into the light and she's sentenced to Stonegate Penitentiary.

* AttentionWhore: Isley departs from the Rose Cafe with a [[SexyWalk rock of her hips]] seemingly just to flaunt her sexiness in front of the [[DistractedByTheSexy appreciative]] customers.

** Her [[SexyWalk strutting]] from the Rose Cafe is probably the most obvious.

* NotSoAboveItAll: The surprised faces Bruce makes when Pamela ambushes Harvey with a [[BigDamnKiss deep, romantic smooch]] and her [[SexyWalk sultry sashay]] from the restaurant don't appear to be part of his usual playboy persona acting.

* SexyWalk: The scene with Pam's hip-swaying walk out of the restaurant (in a dress inspired by Jessica Rabbit) catching the eyes of some men. Trivia note: It had to be re-animated in America (specifically by Chen-Yi Chang) because Sunrise couldn't quite get the sexiness right.

* PlayingPossum: How Batman escapes Pamela's flytrap, pretending to be on the verge of passing out to ambush her with a sudden kick after she gets too close, hooking his legs around the overhead sprinklers, using them as leverage to evade it's snapping jaws so he could then finally cut himself free.

* FemmeFatale: Since this episode provides the show's first, true foray into the FilmNoir genre it's fitting Poison Ivy is here, acting as the classic ill intended yet irresistible temptress archetype, albeit filtered a sadistic, MadScientist and comic book style monster making prism.

* TrespassingToTalk: Batman infiltrating Pamela's private greenhouse, aiming to get the antidote and answers results in him winding up in the tight embrace of her overgrown flytrap. Isley after, [[SlipIntoSomethingMoreComfortable changing for the evening]], slinks out to [[TheTease sensually greet]] her (seemingly) pacified intruder, whereupon they converse about Harvey Dent, why she saw fit to poison him.

* BadDate: Another one sided example. Batman didn't enjoy himself too much during his and Ivy's "late night rendezvous." Being captured by a [[ManEatingPlant carnivorous, mutant flytrap]] and given a mouthful of [[DruggedLipstick lethal poison]] tends to do that. Poison Ivy on the other hand was ecstatic to have Batman in her sensual yet fatal clutches, her [[TheTease honeyed sweettalk]] making it almost seem like a real date, plus she unambiguously loved their [[BigDamnKiss deep, sexy kiss]]. Only turns [[MomentKiller sour]] for her when Bats leaps up to kick her in the face.

* SmugSmiler: Poison Ivy during the climax's first half, ''especially'' after she forcibly makes out with Batman, briefly giving him her most conceited grin as she pulls away from him, seemingly satisfied by their deep kiss, secure in the knowledge he's going to die, before Batman triggers her VillainousBreakdown. Her sly confidence dissolves away completely upon getting kicked to the face and made to watch her flytrap bleed after Bats cuts himself loose.

* SealedWithAKiss: A sinisterly [[SubvertedTrope subversive]] application of it. Poison Ivy quotes this directly, stating she did it to Harvey and plans to do it to Batman now too. Normally it's something you hear in a romantic story involving two people in love, kissing to officiate their union. Here Ivy sensually whispers it out as a [[EvilGloating murderous taunt]] to Batman.

** Right after their kiss Ivy has the biggest, girliest [[https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02xtpxwF7s9HUJk3MJhYHr7qKxyA4ua6y2qdF4TdLmvakrhE2cHm5vzTq6b3BUZBgyl&id=100011092186292 grin]] on her face as she pulls away from him, obviously satisfied with their passionate snog.
