### Season 4

In "Gotham's Hottest Hotties" Gorilla Grodd was sat with his colleagues in a conference room at the Hall of Doom when Poison Ivy walked in. Grodd told her to move out of the way of the door as he wanted to see when the new CEO arrived, gushing about ho he "hope he is chill". When Ivy revealed she was the new CEO, the members rioted upset at the "woke" decision of hiring a woman, Grodd growling and hitting his chest. Ivy suggested they calm down, handing out dossiers detailing her plans of "socially conscious evil" although all members refused to listen, throwing the papers before leaving with Grodd stopping to scream in Ivy's face how this was "so not chill".

Later, Grodd is in the L.O.D. kitchen when Ivy gifts them all donuts in an attempt to get them on side. She tells them she is open to feedback and ideas. Soon after, Grodd comes to her requesting approval of his latest plan to create a force field and fill it with "hot babes" with the caveat that they all have to date him. Ivy approves it, herself still desperate for their approval of her as leader. However, she later realizes she has gone about things all wrong and at their next meeting, after asking all members to put all their plans and schemes on the table she burns them all up with a flamethrower, telling them that from now on they will all be working exclusively on her stuff.

The bulk of the members revolt again, although Ivy uses her powers to shoot vines after them. Grodd attempts to use his mind powers to knock her out but Ivy blocks it, causing an even more enraged Grodd to charge at her. Ivy uses her plants to wrap him up i vines, stopping him in his tracks although he uses his strength ripping them plats of the ground, exclaiming how he is not scared of her. However, Ivy uses her vines to lift the table which Grodd is now laid on top, crush him between the table and the roof multiple times until he is knocked out cold.

In "The First Person to Come Back From a Business Conference Without Chlamydia" Grodd attended the villain's conference MalCon on the moon where he had a booth set up with the tag line "Grodd's Helmet", showing off and seemingly selling replicas of his own helmet.

Later, he was briefly seen kept in a frozen state as a trophy by the middle-aged Robin alongside many of his peers 25 years into a post-apocalyptic future.

In "Killer's Block" Grodd attended Lex Luthor's birthday party on the moon where he was seen mingling with Metallo, Snowflame and Man-Bat. He watched Luthor's fight against Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn and later watched Luthor be pranked by Jeffrey the Parrot jumping out of his piece of cake.
