7	----
8	!!Tropes:
9
10	* 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 IdleRich lifestyle.
11	* AlienBlood: The giant flytrap bleeds chlorophyll.
12	* AllWomenAreLustful: Central motives aside, it speaks volumes of Pamela's character that kissing was the method she chose to kill with, neither smooch we see being school play mild in their intensity. She could've just left Batman to be eaten by her flytrap, but it isn't every night you have the chance to be the last person he makes out with.
13	* AmbiguousSituation:
14	** It's unclear if Isley's attempted kiss was her trying to [[KissofDeath kill Bruce]] or sink her teeth into him early, laying the groundwork to seduce Wayne following Dent's death, then likely [[BlackWidow moving onto Mayor Hill next]], thus eliminating the three main figures involved in Stonegate's construction.
15	** Since she isn't depicted as a metahuman (yet) it's not quite apparent how Ivy's able to control her huge, killer mutant flytrap. It has no (visible) ears or eyes, yet responds accordingly to whatever she wants it to do. It does leave you curious how she managed to train it in the first place.
16	* AnimationBump: Pam leaving the Rose Cafe is animated on the ones, much more fluidly than the rest of the episode in order to accentuate her sex appeal.
17	* AnticipatoryLipstick: A non-comedic case. Upon recomposing herself after a momentary rage out, Poison Ivy applies her [[DruggedLipstick special lipstick]] before sauntering up to an unwilling, helpless Batman and [[TakeThatKiss passionately kissing]] him. Given [[VictoriasSecretCompartment where it was]], that is ''very'' exceptional readiness.
18	* AttentionWhore: Isley departs from the Rose Cafe with a [[SupermodelStrut rock of her hips]] seemingly just to flaunt her sexiness in front of the [[DistractedByTheSexy appreciative]] customers.
19	* AwkwardKiss: A one sided example. Batman and Poison Ivy's kiss was actually very [[BigDamnKiss smoldering]], like something you'd see in an Old Hollywood romantic comedy starring Creator/MarilynMonroe or Creator/JayneMansfield, what with Ivy smashing their lips together in such a steamy, tender embrace, moaning passionately as she does, loving every sultry second. Unfortunately, her [[KissOfDeath intentions]] prevent Bats from enjoying it himself, futilely squirming as she pulls him in for it and spitting right after.
20	* AxCrazy: Poison Ivy during the climax's second half. Shedding off her sensual vampiness and furiously unloading crossbow arrows at Batman.
21	* BadDate: Another (mostly) 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. She also enjoyed her romantic dinner with Harvey, as did he. It goes south for Dent though following Pamela's [[KissOfDeath goodnight kiss.]]
22	* BeautyIsBad: [[TheVamp Poison]] [[DudeMagnet Ivy]] looks and sounds like an Old Hollywood bombshell while keeping a giant, killer flytrap in her greenhouse she's implicitly [[ManEatingPlant fed people to.]] This episode serves as a cautionary tale for those who wholeheartedly believe in the [[BeautyEqualsGoodness opposite]] of this trope.
23	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Despite Batman kicking her square in the face Poison Ivy has zero bruises or bloodied anything, her lovely mug miraculously unscathed!
24	* BerserkButton: A mild example, but if Poison Ivy goes to the [[CruelMercy trouble]] of giving you such a deliciously tender LastKiss, which she herself [[ModestOrgasm enjoyed]], don't spit afterwards as Batman does. Earns you a brief yet very hard stare from her.
25	* BigDamnKiss: While [[SubvertedTrope neither]] is given with the usually intended spirit, Poison Ivy enjoyed romantically framing her kisses with Harvey and Batman, certainly giving it her all in making them grade A, passionate snogs only a FemmeFatale like her can give.
26	** In Harvey's case she teasingly/lovingly told him to "call her the minute he got home" before wrapping her hand around his head and smashing their lips together in a drawn out, steamy embrace which leaves "Mr. District Attorney" very [[PostKissCatatonia dazed in the aftermath]]. The violins we hear playing in the background during this help to emphasize the romantic atmosphere.
27	** In Batman's case she flirtatiously greeted him by asking about their "late night rendezvous", massaging his shoulders too. And, while Batman obviously didn't enjoy [[ForcefulKiss their kiss]] soon after, Ivy did, deepening it halfway through, moaning, notably [[ModestOrgasm more intensely]] than with Harvey in fact, before releasing him with a great big "mwah"! Her satisfied smirk says everything.
28	* BigNo: Poison Ivy gets several, most notably when she almost loses her rare rose.
29	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Pam comes across as Harvey's affectionate girlfriend, and is seemingly reduced to tears when she is denied a chance to visit her dying boyfriend in the hospital. But it's all a ruse to hide a ruthless eco-terrorist who would gladly see Harvey die for his "[[DisproportionateRetribution crime]]". She even demonstrates her "weeping girlfriend" act to Batman before she bursts into laughter, showing that all her previous affection for Harvey was never sincere.
30	* BittersweetEnding: Ivy's scheme is foiled and Harvey receives the antidote just in time, but this setback doesn't dissuade her from further pursuing her twisted eco-terrorist agenda, swearing revenge instead.
31	-->'''Pamela Isley:''' ''[sits huddled in her prison cell, rocking as her eyes dart side to side, glowering intensely]'' They can bury me in the ground, as deep as they like... ''[face perks up for a moment before resuming her angry look]'' But I'll grow back. ''[gets up, starts walking forward]'' We always grow back... ''[bends down to her potted roses, face contorted into an ominous DeathGlare]'' Don't we baby?
32	* BlackWidow: While Harvey Dent was Isley's primary target and focus of her hatred, it seems this vendetta extended to Bruce Wayne and potentially Mayor Hill as well, given their involvement in Stonegate alongside Dent. This is implied when Pam tries to kiss Bruce in the hospital parking garage.
33	* BlatantLies: Played with. Poison Ivy claims she was going to share the antidote for her poison with Batman before he "hurt her feelings" by spitting after her kiss. Although, this is a half truth, since Ivy ''did'' seem legitimately offended by Bats following their kiss. A little spittle got on her, plus she obviously [[BigDamnKiss poured everything]] into the smooch, so it's understandable Ivy probably felt [[ProudBeauty insulted]] Batman wouldn't appreciate, what in her screwed up mind, must've seemed like a CruelMercy. After all, who ''wouldn't'' want to die kissing such a beautiful woman?
34	* BondVillainStupidity:
35	** Poison Ivy sees Batman trapped by her monster plant, but takes the time to explain her motive to him. Then instead of just letting her plant eat him she decides to kill him with her kiss like she did to Dent. After their kiss, Ivy taunts Batman by letting him smell her cure. This is ultimately her undoing as she gets too close to him and he is able to knock her down and break free of her plant.
36	** Probably the biggest reason Ivy failed is because her and Batman's kiss wasn't nearly the length her and Dent's was. Had she lingered into it long enough he'd have ingested the same amount of rose poison, legitimately passing out rather than [[PlayingPossum faking it]] like he does soon after to escape. We can chalk this up to her wishing to [[EvilGloating taunt]] him instead.
37	** Oddly, her flytrap as well. Should've restrained his legs.
38	* CaptiveDate: What Poison Ivy [[TheTease flirting with]] and [[ForcefulKiss kissing]] Batman practically amounts to. She even teasingly calls it a "late night rendezvous" to make it seem more romantic than it actually is. Batman's chances of a "second date" though are kinda nixed by his [[MomentKiller kicking Ivy in the face]].
39	* CarryingTheAntidote: Poison Ivy has a bottle with the cure to her poisoned lipstick on her. After she poisons Batman with a kiss, she taunts him by revealing the antidote and letting him smell it. Batman fighting her over it ends up setting Ivy's entire greenhouse on fire.
40	* CrocodileTears: Isley deserves an award for how convincing her upset girlfriend performance is.
41	* CruelMercy: While Ivy primarily locked lips with Batman to [[TakeThatKiss mock him]] before he [[KissOfDeath died]], it possibly doubles as this. Unconscious he wouldn't have felt anything when her flytrap consumed and digested him. One shudders to imagine [[AndIMustScream being awake for that...]]
42	* CutLexLuthorACheck: Averted. It's quite easy to extrapolate that Chez Gerard pays well, ergo Pamela's inordinately massive private greenhouse.
43	* DateRape: After calming down, Poison Ivy concludes her and Batman's [[CaptiveDate "late night rendezvous"]] by announcing it's time they shared, what's in essence, a [[KissOfDeath goodnight kiss]], his noncompliance dealt with by her flytrap's helpful tendrils entangling Batman's wobbling head so Ivy can steal his lips for a hot, tender smooch.
44	* DeadlyDodging: Batman dodging one of Ivy's crossbow arrows kills her venus flytrap.
45	* DeathGlare: Ivy gives Batman a nasty scowl after he kicks her to the ground. She keeps it up as their struggle continues.
46	* DeathTrap: Pamela's greenhouse has two examples.
47	** First is the trapdoor obscured cacti pit Bats almost falls into.
48	** Second is her giant, killer flytrap with python strength tendrils.
49	* DefiantCaptive: Being seized by the [[TentacleRope coiling tendrils]] of Poison Ivy's killer flytrap and given a [[DruggedLipstick deadly]] [[TakeThatKiss yet smoldering]] "goodnight kiss" from her doesn't impede [[TheDeterminator Batman]] from fighting for his and Harvey's lives.
50	* DescriptionCut: Used multiple times in succession.
51	-->'''Pamela Isley:''' Shouldn't we wait for your friend?\
52	'''Harvey Dent:''' Bruce? Nah, he's always late. He probably got hung up on business.\
53	''[Batman hanging onto a helicopter full of escaped convicts]''\
54	'''Pamela Isley:''' I hear he's rich.\
55	'''Harvey Dent:''' Yeah, Bruce runs around in a high-class crowd.\
56	''[Batman chasing a convict [[RooftopConfrontation across rooftops]]]''\
57	'''Harvey Dent:''' But he still manages to get his kicks.\
58	''[Batman kicking the criminal]''\
59	'''Harvey Dent:''' There's nothing we don't know about each other.\
60	''[Batman threatening the crook, who responds by asking who Batman is]''
61	* DisproportionateRetribution: Poison Ivy tries to kill Harvey Dent for building a corrections facility on top of a field containing a flower that was endangered. There is no evidence he knew about the endangered flower. She saved the flower before trying to kill him, anyway. Maybe he should've done an ecological survey to check for endangered species and done an environmental impact statement before starting construction, but she could've tried telling him there was an endangered flower before he started building to see if he would alter his plans in response.
62	* DissonantSerenity: Batman finds himself ensnared by the [[TentacleRope tendrils]] of Poison Ivy's huge, mutant flytrap which drags him towards it's snapping maw, forcing Bats to kick repeatedly to keep it at bay, cracking several of it's fangs in the process. With the calm, sultry tone and wording Ivy uses ("late night rendezvous") you'd swear that Batman dropped in for a surprise meet up, playing with her pet while she [[SlipIntoSomethingMoreComfortable changes]] for their date.
63	** Before that we see Pamela switch on lush harp music via her radio before going behind a privacy screen, undressing while Batman sneaks into her lair. It contrasts greatly with the botanical nightmares he soon encounters.
64	** Poison Ivy's moaning while her and Batman kiss sounds like someone making out with their OneTrueLove, not a person trying to fatally poison someone else.
65	* DistractedByTheSexy: Isley's memorably sultry exit from the Rose Cafe leaves all the guys therein made to watch on in stricken silence.
66	* DoesHeHaveABrother: When Harvey Dent asks Bruce Wayne what he thinks of his girlfriend Pamela Isley, Bruce responds, "Does she have a sister?"
67	* DoNotCallMePaul: When Batman inquires as to why Pamela poisoned Harvey she decides to reveal her villain handle, asking him to address her by it instead in the most [[FauxAffablyEvil dignified, ladylike manner]] she can as though they were at a fancy party, with the proud body language of a debutante to match.
68	-->'''Batman:''' Why, Isley?\
69	'''Pamela Isley:''' Oh, please. Call me ''Poison Ivy''.
70	* DonutMessWithACop: Twice we see Bullock run back to his desk to quickly scarf down a donut before heading off with the other cops.
71	* DoubleEntendre:
72	** Ivy referring to Batman's sneaking into her nursery as "a late night rendezvous."
73	** When she slinks out to watch her "sweet little flytrap" trying to chomp onto Batman's kicking legs.
74	--->'''Poison Ivy:''' Mmmm, a little ''big'' for a ''fly.''
75	* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Ivy didn't bother seeking a "yes" when slinking up to Batman for their [[KissOfDeath goodnight kiss.]]
76	* DoubleStandardRapeSciFi: Played with. At the very least, Poison Ivy's mutant flytrap wrapping TentacleRope around Batman's head and neck so she can [[ForcefulKiss insistently share a deep kiss with him]], an act she's notably [[ModestOrgasm pleased by]], constitutes sexual assault.
77	* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Poison Ivy, per FemmeFatale tradition. Her bedroom eyes are at their most intense when calming down from her [[MotiveRant furious, anti-Dent speech]] and sauntering up to Batman for a [[BigDamnKiss hot]] [[KissOfDeath kiss]].
78	* DruggedLipstick: How Ivy applies her poison to Dent and Batman.
79	* DudeMagnet: Pamela's departure from the Rose Cafe serves to emphasize this. Hell, even Bruce is left slack jawed!
80	* DynamicAkimbo: Ivy does this when slinking out to observe Batman's struggle with her flytrap.
81	** She does it again after calming down from her [[MotiveRant enraged speech about Dent]], adding a pin-up pose tilt of the hip to it as she reverts back to a [[TheVamp serene, seductive demeanor]].
82	** Once more when approaching Bats for their kiss, pausing briefly while he's rotated and his thrashing head gets wrapped in place by two tendrils.
83	* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Harvey's LanternJawOfJustice is massively over-pronounced compared to his usual design. It juts a good five or six inches below his mouth.
84	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Poison Ivy gets sentenced to Stonegate Penitentiary rather than Arkham Asylum like in the later episodes. Perhaps it's for the irony of Ivy being imprisoned in the place she hated the most. Her hyper immune system isn't displayed here either. She even requires an antidote for her own [[DruggedLipstick lipstick]] after using it. This is quite jarring because later episodes would refer to said immunity as if Poison Ivy had always possessed such an ability.
85	* EatenAlive: This almost befalls Batman, courtesy of Ivy's mutant, killer flytrap.
86	* EatTheCamera: As Batman is being pulled in towards the giant flytrap's snapping, fanged maw we're briefly shown his POV, which also makes it appear the monster's attempting to make a meal out of the camera.
87	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: While she'd appeared earlier in this episode, under the guise of [[BitchInSheepsClothing Harvey's warm-hearted girlfriend]], it's Poison Ivy's [[MotiveRant demented, angry speech]] followed by [[ForcefulKiss forcing Batman]] to share a [[DruggedLipstick deadly kiss]] with her, then [[EvilGloating laughing]] at his futile attempt to spit out the poison, that truly informs us of who she is as a character. A seductively cunning, sadistic maneater who loves to [[TheTease flirtatiously toy]] with her victims and has an unhinged attachment to plants, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality prioritizing them over people]].
88	* EurekaMoment: After Bruce walks Isley out to her car and offers her words of comfort about Harvey, Isley tells him he's a good friend to Harvey and leans in to give him a kiss, with Bruce turning it into a friendly hug instead. In this moment though, Bruce suddenly remembers how Isley planted a huge kiss on Harvey previously just before he was poisoned and [[ProperlyParanoid becomes suspicious of her, deciding to look into her background more]].
89	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Spitting after the steamy hot [[KissOfDeath final kiss]] Poison Ivy shared with you? How rude.
90	* EvilGloating: After their kiss Poison Ivy laughs about Batman's "fear of cooties" and teasingly holds the opened antidote bottle underneath his nose, letting him sniff a cure he'd never have. Or so she thought... Even right before it happens, Ivy pointedly tells Batman that, just like Harvey's fate was "sealed with a kiss", "now so is yours." Rubbing in how this is [[ForcefulKiss one kiss he can't avoid]].
91	* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Ivy teasing Batman after he tries to spit out her poison.
92	-->'''Poison Ivy:''' Aww, what's wrong? Afraid I have cooties?
93	* EvilLaugh: Poison Ivy playfully giggles as she reveals herself to Batman and erupts into sinister laughter after showing off her grief stricken girlfriend routine.
94	* ExpressiveHair: Poison Ivy's hairdo near the end. When she's calm/sultry its straight, when she's angry or frightened it becomes wild and unkempt.
95	* ExtremeCloseUp: There is a closeup on Ivy's lips as she applies her lipstick and whispers “with a kiss."
96	* EyelashFluttering: Isley does this at Harvey when he's trying to convince her to stay.
97	* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Pamela Isley is a stunning woman who looks like an Old Hollywood starlet, while also being murderously insane.
98	* FacePlantingIntoFood: Harvey goes dizzy-eyed and takes a nosedive into his chocolate mousse following the [[DruggedLipstick lethal kiss]] Isley planted on him just before exiting the restaurant. It's PlayedForDrama, as Harvey is on life support for most of the episode.
99	* FakeFaint: Batman pretends to be on the verge of passing out after he and Ivy's kiss so that she'll get too close...
100	* {{Fanservice}}: Being Poison Ivy's introductory appearance for the show, it's unsurprising this episode offers us multiple, titillating examples.
101	** Her SupermodelStrut from the Rose Cafe is probably the most obvious.
102	** Ivy's encounter with Batman in her greenhouse plays out similarly to an old film noir flick. Her the taunting vamp, him the detective in over his head. Those who fancy that kinda thing aren't likely to be disappointed. Least of all watching their undeniably [[BigDamnKiss hot kiss]].
103	** Prior to that we're treated to a scene of Pam stepping behind her modesty screen to undress.
104	* FauxAffablyEvil: Poison Ivy (initially) towards Batman. She playfully greets him, talks sweetly to him, massages his shoulders, flirts with him, and even rewards her "date" with a [[KissofDeath goodnight kiss.]]
105	* 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 through a sadistic, MadScientist and comic-book style monster-making prism.
106	* {{Fetish}}: Ivy clearly gets off on the whole FemmeFatale schtick and truly seemed to enjoy the [[KissOfDeath deep kisses]] she shared with Harvey and Batman, making pleasured moans both times.
107	* FieryRedhead: Pull back Poison Ivy's seductive, flirty layers and you'll find quite the dementedly angry lady.
108	* FirstKiss: While [[SubvertedTrope not truly romantic]], at least [[FoeRomanceSubtext not outrightly so]], this episode does showcase Batman and Poison Ivy's very first kiss in the [[Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse DCAU]] canon.
109	* FoeRomanceSubtext: The first half of Poison Ivy's confrontation with Batman is dripping with this. She puts on a [[SensualSpandex sexy, skintight outfit]] before gigglingly revealing herself, coyly peaking out from behind a tree like some flirtatious wood nymph. She then asks in a [[TheTease breathy tone]] about their "late night rendezvous", framing the situation almost like it were a surprise date. Then there's the way Ivy walked behind Bats to [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace caress his shoulders]] during her unhinged rant. Strangely intimate. That's soon proceeded by the [[TheBigDamnKiss deep, enthusiastic kiss]] she plants on him whilst [[ForcefulKiss Batman's head is tightly held in place]] by her flytrap's tendrils. Notice when Poison Ivy approaches him for it they [[DoesThisRemindYouofAnything face each other like a couple about to recite wedding vows.]] The lush, romantic harp cord we hear upon their lips meeting also doesn't help.
110	* ForcefulKiss:
111	** Poison Ivy kisses Batman while her monster plant has him restrained and holds his head in place for her. As she approaches him, she [[VillainousFaceHold gently lays one hand on his face while slowly wrapping her other around his neck]] and pulls him towards her waiting lips for a forceful embrace, and holds him tighter as she deepens it halfway through.
112	** She was also quite insistent with Harvey, suddenly pulling him into a smoldering lip lock. The difference is Dent ultimately consented.
113	* ForTheLulz: Ivy didn't ''necessarily'' have to lock lips with Batman to end him, but, it can't help coming across like her exploiting the opportunity to share a not so chaste kiss with the [[MrFanservice hunky]] masked vigilante who snuck into her lair before he dies.
114	* FourthDateMarriage: Poison Ivy induces Harvey Dent into proposing to her a ''week'' after they first meet. Considering her [[MsFanservice appearance]] and [[TheTease behavior]] it's more shocking Dent didn't propose the day they met!
115	* FreezeFrameBonus: When Pamela tacks the Wayne/Dent penitentiary newspaper clipping to her wall we see another headline pertaining to "redwood deforestation" above it, probably hinting that she had many other targets already in mind...
116	** Isley's campus ID card lists her home address as "69 Green Street". Yes, [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar 69]].
117	** During our first sight of Ivy in costume [[OffModel her legs are bare with no green nylons]].
118	** Ivy, momentarily shutting her eyes, prevents her from noticing Batman's sudden kick in time to dodge it.
119	** We get our first glimpse of Ivy's giant flytrap when Batman [[https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02vyALKPxrCdgWkTPgbHV2pa1WkqULaoYaT7PeU59NfACgk79Z1bwqLFzJHSf1QyJzl&id=100011092186292 accidentally steps on the trapdoor to the cacti pit.]]
120	* FromBadToWorse: Batman's "late night rendezvous" at Ivy's greenhouse starts with him nearly tumbling into an overgrown, razor sharp cactus filled pit only to be captured by a huge, man eating flytrap before Poison Ivy slinks out to [[KissOfDeath swap spit]] with him [[ForcefulKiss against his will]], then narrowly avoids being eaten to break loose from the VaginaDentata's tendrils, dodging a now AxCrazy Ivy's crossbow arrows, attempting to grapple onto an overhead light fixture, inadvertently tearing it down, making it drop into nearby water, causing an electric spark which sets the entire nursery ablaze.
121	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Watch Harvey eating his salad during his and Isley's date. He's using a ''knife'' and fork.
122	* FunWithSubtitles: Of the DeadpanSnarker variety. After the flashback ends with the words "to help us built a better, safer Gotham," the scene cuts to an inmate escaping the prison with a helicopter, subtitled "Five years later: A better, safer Gotham."
123	* GardenOfEvil: Poison Ivy's greenhouse in the episode's climax.
124	* GettingHotInHere: While conversing about Isley, Harvey starts to sweat and asks Bruce if it's getting hot inside the restaurant. Bruce thought Harvey was being bashful from the kiss (which turns out to be a poisonous kiss).
125	* HairFlip: After chatting with her roses, Ivy walks into the boudoir section of her greenhouse and pulls her hair out of her hair net and shakes it loose.
126	* HeKnowsTooMuch: As far as Poison Ivy knows Batman is the only other person aware of her poisoning Harvey, thus necessitating his murder.
127	* HeadTurningBeauty: Pamela Isley is an absolute heartbreaker, as the Rose Cafe's predominately male customers can attest.
128	* HeldGaze: Shorter than most examples, but as she approaches Batman to plant a poisoned kiss on him, Poison Ivy pauses briefly to stare at Batman, smirking very seductively at him before [[VillainousFaceHold placing a hand on his cheek and neck]], closing her eyes and leaning in for [[KissofDeath their kiss]]. She also gazes into his eyes for a moment after breaking the kiss, before pulling away from him with a sly grin. Possible [[FoeRomanceSubtext implications]] aside there's [[SubvertedTrope nothing romantic]] about this and it's clearly just Ivy savoring the moment. Knowing what kind of [[TheVamp person]] she is this subversion was likely intentional.
129	* HollywoodKiss: Say what you will about Poison Ivy, but the woman knows how to kiss. Flytrap tendrils aside, if seen out of context, her and Batman's kiss comes across like two lovers in a tender, romantic embrace.
130	* HoneyTrap: Isley's seduction of Harvey. Luring him in with her sexpot wiles, waiting for just the right moment to give him a particularly [[BigDamnKiss steamy]] [[KissOfDeath goodnight kiss]].
131	* HostageSituation: An ''unorthodox'' one to say the least. Batman, [[DruggedLipstick groggy from Ivy's kiss]], dangles from the ledge of her cacti pit trap as she stands over him, aiming her crossbow at him. He then reveals he's got her pot of Wild Thorny Roses, holding it above the pit, threatening to drop it unless she forks over the antidote.
132	-->'''Batman:''' The bottle for the weed. What's it gonna be?
133	* {{Hypocrite}}: Poison Ivy labeling Batman a "murderer" when she'd tried to [[KissOfDeath "seal the fates"]] of him and Harvey.
134	* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: A rare gender swapped example. Ivy obviously loves having Batman at her mercy, [[MassageOfLove sensually caressing his shoulders]] and [[ForcefulKiss pulling him in a for a deep kiss]].
135	* ImYourWorstNightmare: Said by Batman to an escaped convict.
136	* ImpairmentShot: Batman sees Poison Ivy in blurred multiples after she poisons him.
137	* ImpliedDeathThreat: When Pamela is snipping a petal from her Wild Thorny Roses, she hints at future homicides.
138	-->'''Pamela Isley:''' (''places potted flowers onto a lamp heated pedestal after cutting a piece, removes her sunhat, smiles warmly and gently clasps them in her hands as she coos'') Oh, you've done so well today, sweetheart. (''hugs them'') Now, get some rest. (''withdraws head, still holding plant in hands'') And don't worry, I won't clip off anymore of your beautiful petals. (''loving, motherly face changes into an icy, hard stare as she grips them a little tighter'') Unless I need them...
139	* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Ivy [[ForcefulKiss insistently sharing a kiss]] with Batman [[DruggedLipstick to poison him]] before he's [[EatenAlive devoured]] by her pet mutant flytrap is obviously a ''very'' gratifying experience for her, as indicated by her [[ModestOrgasm passionate moaning]] while they kiss.
140	* ItAmusedMe: For what it's worth Poison Ivy legitimately enjoyed kissing Batman, their lips practically melting together by the time she ceases it, smirking like somebody who just snogged their longtime crush.
141	* ItCanThink: The flytrap understands that Poison Ivy slinking forward and saying "now, so is yours" means to rotate Batman and entangle his wobbling head with tendrils so she can [[ForcefulKiss force him into a steamy make out session]]. Later on, after Ivy's kicked to the ground, her [[MeaningfulLook pissed off nodding]] confirms it's dinnertime and the botanical monster starts pulling Batman near it's opening jaws.
142	* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Aware of [[KissofDeath what's about to happen to him]] Ivy begins telling Batman why she poisoned Harvey, savoring the audience he provides for her [[MotiveRant insane monologue]], knowing full well he ain't blabbing anything to another soul.
143	* KickTheDog: Poison Ivy seems to cry when she heard that Harvey Dent is dying, which then became an EvilLaugh.
144	* KissDiss:
145	** Pamela tries to give Bruce a (disingenuously) friendly kiss on the lips after the latter escorts Isley to her parked car, which he [[ProperlyParanoid quickly deflects]] by turning it into a hug instead. She does, unknowingly, succeed later on when he's suited up as Batman though.
146	** As Poison Ivy approaches Batman to poison him with her kiss, Batman's attempts to resist and avoid it are quickly {{defied\|Trope}} by her monster plant, with it not only turning Batman around to face Ivy, it also uses its VineTentacles to ensnare his thrashing head, forcing him to stay still and allowing Ivy to force a deep kiss on him.
147	* KissOfDeath: Twice given, twice failed.
148	* LadyInRed: Pamela during the French restaurant scenes.
149	* LaserGuidedKarma: Poison Ivy tries to kill Harvey Dent for building Stonegate Penitentiary over the Wild Thorny Rose's last habitat. At the end of the episode, she ends up as an inmate there with the last Wild Thorny Rose to keep her company.
150	* LastKiss: In a twisted, [[TheVamp vampish]] way this is basically what Ivy [[ForcefulKiss "offers"]] to Batman when initially trying to kill him. "Sealed with a kiss" while ominous is nonetheless very romantic wording. Also doubles as a FirstKiss for them.
151	* LetsGetDangerous: At first Ivy is [[TheTease serenely flirtatious]] towards Batman, treating his unsolicited appearance as though he'd swung by to chitchat, hardly taking his presence that seriously, least of all after [[KissOfDeath "sealing his fate."]] Then he kicks her to the ground before cutting himself free from her flytrap's tendrils. Afterwards Poison Ivy switches from sensual siren to roaring battle-axe, shooting at him with her crossbow.
152	* LoveAtFirstSight: Dent claims this is what happened with him and Pamela. Well, on his end at any rate.
153	* MadonnaWhoreComplex: An interesting spin on this because Isley pretends to be the former while secretly being the latter. Publicly she's Pamela Isley, a sweet, caring woman. Behind closed doors she's Poison Ivy, an unhinged seductress.
154	* MakeupIsEvil: There were numerous, potential ways of administering Pam's rose poison, but probably none sexier than via [[DruggedLipstick lipstick]].
155	* MaleGaze: It's a Poison Ivy centric story. Comes with the territory.
156	** A few male patrons stare at Ivy as she leaves.
157	** Later, we get an extended sequence of her changing out of her gardening clothes and into her Poison Ivy outfit. She does a HairFlip, then steps behind a privacy screen and throws her pants over the top.
158	* MamaBear: All bets are off when Batman wounds Ivy's flytrap.
159	* ManEatingPlant: Poison Ivy's greenhouse has a giant Venus Flytrap, complete with tentacles which can grab any passing Batmen and pull them in.
160	* MassageOfLove: While discussing Harvey with Bats we see Poison Ivy glide behind him, lean in and tenderly trace his shoulders with her index fingers. Of course, just like every other sultry gesture from Ivy, this is less about romance, the [[FoeRomanceSubtext ambiguous kind]] notwithstanding, and more about her being a [[TheTease playful]] [[TheVamp vixen]].
161	* MeaningfulLook: The before and after of Batman and Poison Ivy's kiss shows her make several, different faces which serve to wordlessly convey her mood/intent.
162	** Seconds from [[VictoriasSecretCompartment retrieving]] her lipstick Ivy briefly gives Bats a 2 sick smirk, as if what's about to happen is that much of a twisted turn on for her.
163	** It's subtle but you can see Poison Ivy's smile widen while nearing Batman for their kiss, amused by his vain attempt to wiggle free.
164	** As they're about to smooch Isley pauses briefly, smirking seductively as [[HeldGaze she stares into Batman's eyes]], savoring the fact he's at her mercy.
165	** Right after their kiss Ivy has the biggest, girliest grin on her face as she pulls away from him, obviously satisfied with their passionate snog and giddy over the fact she's gotten away with murder twice now.
166	** The furious face Ivy briefly makes after Batman spits just screams [[ProudBeauty "How dare you! Most men would give anything to kiss these delicious lips!"]]
167	** Pam nods angrily at her flytrap, silently ordering it to devour Batman after he'd knocked her down.
168	* MeaningfulName: Poison Ivy christens her antidote "Rose From The Dead." Her chosen villainous alias itself is very fitting, for just like actual poison ivy Pamela is lovely yet intoxicating.
169	* ModestOrgasm: Compare the intensity of Ivy's moaning when kissing Batman against her earlier snog with Harvey and it becomes apparent which she enjoyed more.
170	* MomentKiller: Batman suddenly kicking Ivy's face ruins their "late night rendezvous." Up until then, Ivy had been playing TheVamp towards him, acting like he visited her for a surprise date and mockingly flirting with him. After this though, she drops this [[FauxAffablyEvil faux flirtatious persona]] and attempts to directly kill him.
171	* MonochromePast: The opening flashback uses sepia tones.
172	* MoodSwinger: Ivy can switch from [[FemmeFatale seductive]] to [[AxCrazy pissed off]] and back again within seconds, as demonstrated during her MotiveRant.
173	* MookHorrorShow: The ActionPrologue of this episode is a good example of Batman putting the fear of God into a nameless thug.
174	* MoralMyopia: Ivy's furious speech about how Dent needed to pay for "murder" is immediately followed by her applying [[DruggedLipstick tainted lipstick]] and pulling Batman in for a [[KissOfDeath deep, smoldering kiss]] to "seal his fate" as well.
175	* MotiveRant: Before sharing [[BigDamnKiss a nice, steamy]] [[KissOfDeath parting kiss]] with her tangled up "date" Poison Ivy opts to tell Batman why she targeted Harvey Dent. It's here we begin to see her cool, sensual FemmeFatale side give way to the [[AxCrazy unhinged murderess]] she is underneath, before [[MoodSwinger sliding right back.]]
176	-->'''Poison Ivy:''' ''[slinks behind Batman to flirtatiously trace his shoulders]'' You see, Harvey had to pay for his ''crime''. ''[walks away]''\
177	'''Batman:''' What crime?\
178	'''Poison Ivy:''' ''[swivels, making an incredulous face and tap of the chin]'' Why, ''murder'' of course. ''[turns, walking towards work table]'' Plowing up a field of beautiful wild flowers ''[brief smash cut to the Dent/Wayne headline]'' for that silly penitentiary of his. ''[Ivy walks up to her Wild Thorny Roses]'' This little rose would be extinct today ''[sniffs and nuzzles them]'' if I hadn't saved my ''precious'' from those ''[loving, tender face contorts into a malicious glare]'' ''horrible bulldozers''! ''[turns to Batman, dramatically raising her hands as she yells]'' The blood of those flowers are on his hands! ''[grits her teeth, balling her fists while angrily grunting before coming back to her senses, gently sighing as she does a flaunting, pin-up tilt of the hips and fluffs her hair]''
179	* MsFanservice:
180	** Poison Ivy is, as this episode's script described, "a stone-cold knockout. The face, the lips, the eyes, the hair, the figure. A ten on all counts." Her [[TheTease playful flirtiness]], [[SoftSpokenSadist breathy voice]], [[SexyBacklessOutfit racy wardrobe]] and [[HollywoodKiss lip talent]] further drive this point home.
181	** The model featured in the Nightshade perfume commercial Alfred pulls up.
182	* MythologyGag:
183	** Mayor Hill's line "Our new district attorney, Harvey Dent", is identical to Mayor Borg's line in the [[Film/Batman1989 1989 movie]].
184	** Batman and Poison Ivy's steamy kiss might be a nod to the one they shared in her first '60s comic appearance. In either story Ivy locks lips with him [[ForcefulKiss regardless of consent]] and it's their [[FirstKiss very first]]. Silver Age Ivy even used [[DruggedLipstick tainted lipstick]], although hers was laced with comparatively harmless chloroform.
185	** When a scene cuts to Bruce in the middle of telling Pamela a humorous story about Harvey, the first line we get is, "You should've seen Harvey's face!"
186	* NearVillainVictory: Ivy ''almost'' succeeded in murdering Batman but a number of [[BondVillainStupidity choices]] ended up shooting her in the foot. Primarily the fact their kiss was far shorter than the snog Harvey received, meaning he probably had a lesser amount of poison in his system, thus was able to keep it together longer. She also might've gotten away with her sly, vampish assassination attempt on Dent had she not tried to plant a big ol' wet one on Bruce, being [[SecretIdentity unaware]] of who he dresses up as every night.
187	* NeverMyFault: Poison Ivy blames Harvey Dent for the Wild Thorny Rose going extinct because of the construction project he spearheaded. However, Ivy saved one and kept it for years with no one knowing, and all she does with it is use it to make a poison to kill Harvey. If anyone is responsible for the plant's near-extinction, it's her.
188	* NeverTrustATrailer: [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WS8oSm8XkKU The TV commercial for this episode]] asked if Batman would "fall under Ivy's deadly spell"? Implying that there's a scene of her heavily laying on the charm, seducing him like she did Harvey. While she does exhibit [[TheVamp vampish]] behavior during the first half of their encounter, such as her romantic phrasing ("late night rendezvous"), [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace shoulder massage]] and their [[ForcefulKiss insistent]] [[TakeThatKiss yet passionate]] [[KissOfDeath kiss]] soon after, it's less her trying to trick Batman and more just [[TheTease toying]] with him before he dies. At no point does Batman nearly cave into Poison Ivy's seductive advances as the trailer would have you believe. Closest you come to this is her [[KissDiss near kiss]] whilst he's still Bruce Wayne.
189	* NoodleIncident: "What has my sweet little flytrap caught ''this time''?" Evidently Batman wasn't it's first prey...
190	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Ivy clearly has none if her initial interactions with Batman are anything to go by. Leaning in close, sensually rubbing his shoulders whilst he's restrained and then, of course, there's their [[ForcefulKiss shared smooch]] afterwards.
191	* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Poison Ivy's [[SensualSpandex sexy costume]] and [[TheTease flirty behavior]] aren't something Batman is too keen to focus on, given his [[TentacleRope situation]]. She has her [[MassageOfLove seductive]] [[ForcefulKiss fun]] with him just the same.
192	* NotGoodWithRejection: Poison Ivy plays with this towards Batman after their kiss, cooing that he "hurt her feelings" by spitting and now won't share the antidote [[BlatantLies like she was planning to.]]
193	* NotSoAboveItAll: The surprised faces Bruce makes when Pamela ambushes Harvey with a [[BigDamnKiss deep, romantic smooch]] and her [[SupermodelStrut sultry sashay]] from the restaurant don't appear to be part of his usual playboy persona acting.
194	* NotSoStoic: It's rare to see Batman startled, but the vine he used to swing out of Ivy's trapdoor cacti pit suddenly coming alive and wrapping itself around his wrist, revealing sharp, chomping fangs too, does the trick.
195	* NothingPersonal: Although this is never stated by Poison Ivy, her trying to murder Batman clearly isn't. It's his alter ego Bruce Wayne who’s within her vindictive crosshairs, same as Harvey Dent. Thus, from her POV, Bats just stuck his nose in the wrong place. That said, she still enjoys [[KissOfDeath fatally kissing]] and then [[EvilGloating cruelly teasing]] him over his imminent death, because [[ItsWhatIDo that's just who she is]]. Batman wounding her flytrap and accidentally setting the nursery on fire however ''does'' make it personal in the end.
196	* NothingUpMySleeve:
197	** Ivy fetches the rose antidote bottle from her glove.
198	** Batman later uses a knife stored in his to cut/stab at her flytrap's vines.
199	* NowOrNeverKiss: A villainous example. Batman was about to be consumed by her giant, mutant flytrap until Pam paused things to "set the mood" for their kiss. Obviously she wouldn't have had another chance to enjoy herself at his expense in such a sultry manner.
200	* OddlySmallOrganisation: In this episode, Gotham seems to only employ 10 cops, including Gordon, Bullock and Montoya.
201	* OhCrap:
202	** The face Batman makes when the killer flytrap ensnares and then drags him towards it's snapping, fanged maw.
203	** Poison Ivy, briefly, after Bats suddenly leaps up to kick her down and again when she's almost flattened/burnt by a falling, enflamed tree.
204	* ParentService: Nearly everything [[MsFanservice Poison Ivy]] says and does is this, with her SupermodelStrut being the most noteworthy.
205	* PinkIsErotic: Poison Ivy's [[DruggedLipstick tainted lipstick]] is pink and applying it [[AnticipatoryLipstick precedes]] her passionately making out with Batman.
206	* 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 its snapping jaws so he could then finally cut himself free.
207	* PostKissCatatonia: Harvey is left dazed for a couple seconds after Pamela surprises him with a [[BigDamnKiss smoldering]] [[KissOfDeath kiss]].
208	* PostRapeTaunt: Played with. More broadly sexual assault than outright rape, but Ivy wastes no time in mockingly laughing at Batman's "fear of cooties" right after she'd [[ForcefulKiss forcibly]] made out with him.
209	* ProperlyParanoid: Isley's cacti pit seems to hint at her [[GenreSavvy anticipating Batman]].
210	* ProudBeauty: Given the upset, insulted face Ivy makes when Batman spits after their [[LastKiss hot snog]] it's clear she isn't accustomed to men having that reaction to getting kissed by her.
211	* PsychoticSmirk: While Ivy primarily gives [[SmugSmiler sly grins]] during the greenhouse climax's first half she ends her crocodile tear heavy "sobbing" over Dent with a burst of sinister laughter, it in turn capped off by a wicked/insane smile.
212	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Played with. Again, while categorically speaking what she does hews far closer to broad sexual assault than outright rape, Poison Ivy's [[ForcefulKiss actions]] towards Batman can't help but evoke this. It says so much about Ivy as a person that she decided, on a twisted whim, to murder him with [[DruggedLipstick her lips]] just like she did with Harvey. Only this time the other person's eventual consent isn't a factor at all. At least with Dent there's the revenge justification, demented as it is, in addition to keeping up appearances as his [[BitchInSheepsClothing caring sweetheart]]. Here, she did it purely for pleasure, with Ivy's predatory smile while slinking up to kiss Batman not leaving you to think otherwise.
213	* RichBitch: Downplayed, since she's nowhere near Bruce Wayne's level of wealth, but Pamela isn't in the poorhouse either, given that most people couldn't afford such a massive nursery filled with various, exotic looking plants.
214	* RunningGag: Twice in the episode, [[DonutMessWithACop Bullock grabs a donut]] before leaving for an emergency.
215	* SanityHasAdvantages: The key to Batman's victory over Ivy, exploiting her insane obsession with plants by threatening to drop her pot of Wild Thorny Roses into the pit he's dangling from unless she surrenders her lipstick antidote. By the time Batman leads them out of the burning greenhouse Pamela is too busy clinging to her flowers, caressing them like a newborn, to care that she's just been apprehended.
216	* 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 part of a [[EvilGloating murderous taunt]] to Batman.
217	-->'''Poison Ivy:''' ''[as she pulls out her lipstick]'' So his fate was sealed... ''[applies her lipstick]'' With a kiss. ''[as she slowly approaches the restrained Batman]'' And now, so is ''yours''.
218	* 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, Isley's villainous alter ego is brought into the light and she's sentenced to Stonegate Penitentiary.
219	* SexyBacklessOutfit: Pam's red cocktail dress and Poison Ivy outfit.
220	* SexySilhouette: When we first see Ivy in costume she's shaded, framed from behind, [[DynamicAkimbo hands on hips]], watching Batman struggling with her killer flytrap.
221	* ShutUpKiss: Downplayed example. Batman never says anything as Poison Ivy saunters towards him, but his defiant grunting is quickly silenced by her capturing his lips for a deep, sultry kiss.
222	* SlipIntoSomethingMoreComfortable: Although the line itself is never spoken by Ivy, the way she slinks behind her modesty screen to undress then slips into her [[SensualSpandex Poison Ivy costume]] upon noticing Batman's nightly intrusion evokes this.
223	* SmugSmiler: Poison Ivy during the climax's first half, ''especially'' after she forcibly makes out with Batman, grinning conceitedly as she pulls away from him, 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.
224	* SmugSnake: Ivy behaves so arrogantly during the greenhouse climax's first half, convinced she'll not only get away with [[TheVamp assassinating]] Harvey but also [[DruggedLipstick eliminate]] a nosy Batman too, with no one else ever learning about either.
225	* SoftSpokenSadist: Poison Ivy maintains a sensuous, breathy tone throughout most of her and Batman's "late night rendezvous" as she goes about discussing Harvey's assassination and then informing Bats that he too is about to be given the [[DruggedLipstick same treatment]].
226	* SpaceWhaleAesop: If you go to confront somebody who uses DruggedLipstick as their primary murder tool ensure they can't make contact with your lips, just in case they're able to place you in a comprised position where you're [[ForcefulKiss unable to resist them kissing you]], something Batman learns during his greenhouse ordeal, underestimating Ivy nearly getting him killed.
227	* SpitTake: Bruce's reaction to learning about the FourthDateMarriage above.
228	* StalkerShot: Our first scenes with who, we'll later learn, is Poison Ivy. She appears in this episode's opening, scooping up a specimen of the Wild Thorny Rose from atop a hill which overlooks Harvey Dent's platformed speech on Stonegate Penitentiary, slinking off as he starts. Next we see she's tapped a headline of him and Bruce Wayne to her greenhouse wall. Neither scene reveals her face.
229	* StalkerWithoutACrush: Ivy kept a Wayne/Dent penitentiary headline hung up in her greenhouse for 5 years before seeking out and seducing Harvey.
230	* StockSoundEffects: The toothy ended tendrils of Pam's flytrap sound like timber wolves, the main body roars like a lion and it makes a few elephant noises after Batman cuts it.
231	* SupermodelStrut: The scene with Pam's hip-swaying walk out of the restaurant (in a [[LadyInRed red dress]] inspired by Jessica Rabbit), which [[HeadTurningBeauty catches the eyes of several 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.
232	* SureLetsGoWithThat:
233	-->'''Escaped convict:''' ''[being taken by the police]'' B-b-big wings!\
234	'''Renee Montoya:''' Yeah, yeah. Big wings. Move it along, pal.
235	* TakeThatKiss: After Poison Ivy finishes explaining her motive for poisoning Harvey to Batman, she [[ForcefulKiss forces a kiss on Batman after applying the same poisoned lipstick she used on Harvey while he is restrained]] to "seal his fate with a kiss". After she breaks their kiss, she [[EvilGloating taunts]] Batman when he tries to spit out the poison by mockingly asking him if he is afraid she has cooties.
236	* TheTease: A certain, seductive redhead.
237	** Ivy toys with Batman a little bit while trying to kill him, treating his nighttime arrival as though he were a gentleman caller she's all too happy to flirt with and steal a kiss from.
238	** Her stringing along Harvey for a week, making him fall hard for her, before "sealing his fate."
239	* TentacleRope: How Ivy's giant flytrap ensnares Batman, coiling several around his wrists and abdomen.
240	* TonightSomeoneKisses: The promo for this episode opens with Pamela and Harvey's kiss.
241	* TooGoodToBeTrue: Pamela Isley seems like the perfect, loving sweetheart any man would be lucky to have in their life. As we learn however, Pam's loving behavior is anything but genuine.
242	* TrapDoor: Poison Ivy's greenhouse is outfitted with one. Along the stoney pathway, right near her boudoir section. Underneath lies a pit of jumbo, mutant cacti with razor sharp, twitching quills.
243	* TrapDoorFail: Before Batman winds up skewered on the cacti quills below he grabs onto a nearby vine, swinging himself to safety. Unfortunately, the [[VineTentacles vine]] comes alive and constricts around his wrist.
244	* 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 flirtatiously greet]] her (seemingly) pacified intruder, whereupon they converse about Harvey Dent, why she saw fit to poison him.
245	* TroubledFetalPosition: Ivy huddles herself in one and nervously rocks back-and-forth on the bed of her cell as she asserts to her rose that she'll be back.
246	* UngratefulBitch: As her greenhouse erupts into flames Ivy tries fleeing with her roses in tow only to be blocked by burning debris and then nearly gets struck by a falling tree that'd caught on fire. Batman pushes her out of the way in time, [[SaveTheVillain saving her]]. Unfortunately for him, this doesn't quell her murderous rage.
247	-->'''Poison Ivy:''' ''[aims her crossbow at Batman as he dangles from the cacti pit's ledge]'' Enjoy extinction, ''Batman''!
248	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Pamela's serenely calm reaction to seeing Batman entangled in her giant, killer flytrap's many vines, offering the playfully sultry commentary that's he's "a little big for a fly" gives you the sense this isn't the first time she's had some unfortunate "guest" in that greenhouse.
249	* VaginaDentata: The commentary on the DVD confirms that Ivy's monster plant is meant to resemble part of the female anatomy. Or rather, it wasn't originally, but they noticed the similarity and ran with it.
250	* TheVamp: Three guesses who.
251	* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Poison Ivy pulls out her poison lipstick from the cleavage of her costume. A detail you won't necessarily pick up without [[FreezeFrameBonus pausing]].
252	* VillainousBreakdown:
253	** Poison Ivy after Batman cuts himself free from her flytrap. She stops her teasing and flirting and starts screaming at Batman, calling him a "murderer" and trying to kill him herself with her wrist-mounted crossbow.
254	** She has a smaller one during her MotiveRant before fluffing her hair with a sigh.
255	* VillainousCrush: [[FoeRomanceSubtext Implied.]] Poison Ivy's efforts to coyly reveal herself to Batman and caress his shoulders, while par for the course in FemmeFatale etiquette, can't help but also come across as signs of infatuation. Her unfazed/amused reaction to his arrival makes it seem like not only was it expected but that she ''looked forward'' to it. To say nothing of how passionately Ivy kisses him, moreso than her previous lip lock with Harvey.
256	* VillainousFaceHold:
257	** When Poison Ivy approaches Batman to [[ForcefulKiss kiss him]] she lays one hand on his face whilst snaking the other around his neck, using that to pull him in close to her waiting, puckered lips, as well as deepen their smooch halfway through.
258	** Her earlier kiss with Harvey went similarly, minus the flytrap bondage.
259	* VillainousRescue: Subverted. Ivy hitting the overhead lights and monologuing about why Harvey had to pay (temporarily) halts her mutant flytrap's midnight Bat snack, but ultimately it's just buildup to her giving Batman a [[KissOfDeath final kiss.]]
260	* VineTentacles: Ivy's plant monster has several, which it uses to restrain Batman for her and hold his head steady so he can't resist a ForcefulKiss from her.
261	* WaitForYourDate:
262	** If we choose to relax the definition of "date" for Batman and Poison Ivy's encounter in her greenhouse, then she takes her time [[SlipIntoSomethingMoreComfortable slipping into her sexy costume]], [[VictoriasSecretCompartment storing]] her [[DruggedLipstick special lipstick]] for [[AnticipatoryLipstick later]], hitting the lights and making a sensual, teasing show of revealing herself to Batman, who'd been kept occupied "playing" with a very grabby, very hungry pet flytrap.
263	** Another variant of this happened earlier when she and Harvey were waiting for Bruce at the Rose Cafe, which you could call "waiting for the third wheel."
