(St. Louis, Missouri) – See all my reviews I understand what Schumacher tried to do with this movie...it seems like a giant comic book, but...oh, hell...the movie is horrible. I don't think I've seen such bad performances in my entire life. I wasn't only disappointed by this movie, but mildly insulted that something like this was supposed to be a blockbuster at one point; yeah guys, maybe if we were all five. Whatever happened to the original Batman? Michael Keaton and Kim Bassinger?

Yeah, see, back in the good old days, good comic book adaptation movies were made. Batman and Robin is TO BE AVOIDED LIKE THE PLAGUE 141 of 215 people found this review helpful.

Cast: Batman and Robin Movie Review (1997) | Roger Ebert Tweet Because of my love for the world of Batman, I went to Joel Schumacher's "Batman & Robin'' with real anticipation. I got thrilled all over again by the Gothic towers of Gotham City. I was reminded of how cool the Batmobile is (Batman has a new one), and I smiled at the fetishistic delight with which Batman and Robin put on their costumes, sheathing themselves in shiny black second skins and clamping on lots of belts, buckles, shields, hooks, pulleys, etc. (How much does that stuff weigh?

How do they run while they're wearing it?) But my delight began to fade at about the 30-minute mark, when it became clear that this new movie, like its predecessors, was not *really* going to explore the bizarre world of its heroes, but would settle down safely into a special effects extravaganza. "Batman & Robin,'' like the first three films in the series, is wonderful to look at, and has nothing authentic at its core. Advertisement There is a scene that illustrates what I mean. It comes during the dreary central section of the film. Bruce Wayne ( George Clooney ) dines at home with his fiancee for the past year, Julie Madison ( Elle MacPherson ). Julie says she would like to spend the rest of her life with Wayne. Bruce hems and haws and talks about his bachelorhood and the complications of his life. Julie looks as if she has heard all of this before. The scene is interrupted by an emergency. Watching it, I realized why it makes absolutely no difference who plays Batman: There's nobody at home. The character is the ultimate Suit. Garb him in leather or rubber, and he's an action hero--Buzz Lightyear with a heartbeat.

Put him in civilian clothes, and he's a nowhere man. I've always suspected they cast movie Batmans by their chins, which is all you see when the Bat costume is being worn, and Clooney has the best chin yet. But like Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer , he brings nothing much to the role because there's nothing much there. Most of the time he seems stuck for conversation. I think the way to get him started would be to ask about his technological gimmicks. This is a guy who would rather read the Sharper Image catalog than Playboy. Advertisement The series has been driven by its villains. They make some good memories: Jack Nicholson as the Joker, Danny DeVito as the Penguin, Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman, Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face, Jim Carrey as the Riddler. In "Batman & Robin'' we get Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze, a man who can survive only by keeping his body at zero degrees (Celsius? Fahrenheit? absolute?), and Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy, a botanist who turns into an evil plant and wages war against animals.

They earn their places in the pantheon of Batman's enemies, but the screenplay doesn't do them justice: It meanders, and some of the big action sequences are so elaborate, they're hard to follow (examples: the one where Freeze's men play hockey with a diamond, and a completely pointless motorcycle chase). Listening to Schwarzenegger's one-liners ("The iceman cometh!''), I realized that a funny thing is happening to the series: It's creeping irresistibly toward the tone of the 1960s TV show. The earlier Batman movies, especially the dark " Batman Returns " (1992), made a break with the camp TV classic and went for moodier tones. But now the puns and punchlines come so fast the action has to stop and wait for them. Although we don't get the POW! and WHAM! cartoon graphics, this fourth movie seems inspired more by the TV series than the Bob Kane comic character. The plot: Mr. Freeze wants to freeze everybody ("First Gotham--then the world!'') while bringing back to life the cryogenically frozen body of his beloved wife.

Poison Ivy wants to destroy all animals and free the globe for her new kinds of genetically engineered plants. Ivy attracts Batman and Robin (and every other man in view) with her seductive perfume, and tricks Mr. Freeze into helping her, until he catches on. Thurman plays her with a languid drawl that suggests plants *can* have multiple orgasms. Advertisement Among the supporting characters is the faithful old butler Alfred ( Michael Gough ), who seems to be dying, and asks philosophical questions such as, "For what is Batman but an attempt to control the chaos that sweeps our world?'' Midway in the action, Alfred's niece ( Alicia Silverstone ) turns up, and finds herself a job as Batgirl, although the movie can never decide whether Robin ( Chris O'Donnell ) is more attracted to her or to Poison Ivy. Another interesting character is a bionic muscleman named Bane (Jeep Swenson), who is Poison Ivy's pet monster. Chemicals pump his muscles to six times life-size, and there are opportunities here for satire on Schwarzenegger's movie roles, but all of them are studiously avoided.

What I'll remember from the film are some of the images, such as the Gotham Observatory, which is inside a giant globe held aloft far above the city streets by a towering statue in the Grecian style. And I will remember Mr. Freeze sadly looking at a little music-box figure of his wife. And Alfred poignantly searching his family tree on his computer. And Ivy's leafy eyebrows. My prescription for the series remains unchanged: scale down. We don't need to see $2 million on the screen every single minute. Give the foreground to the characters, not the special effects. And ask the hard questions about Bruce Wayne. There is a moment in the film where we learn that the new telescope in the Gotham Observatory can look at any place on Earth. "Just don't point it at my bedroom,'' Bruce Wayne chuckles. What is he chuckling about? Advertisement Movie Review - - Holy Iceberg! Dynamic Duo Vs. Mr. Freeze - NYTimes.com Holy Iceberg! Dynamic Duo Vs. Mr.

Freeze By JANET MASLIN Published: June 20, 1997 AT a gala in Gotham City, the fabulous Poison Ivy makes her entrance in a fluffy magenta gorilla suit made from 450 Santa Claus wigs. Then she peels this off slowly as the band plays her theme song. And out comes the most show-stopping character in ''Batman and Robin,'' the fourth and most frenetically gaudy feature in the series. As played by Uma Thurman, Poison Ivy is perfect, flaunting great looks, a mocking attitude and madly flamboyant disguises. Like Mae West, she mixes true femininity with the winking womanliness of a drag queen. Poison Ivy captures the essence of ''Batman and Robin,'' a wild, campy costume party of a movie and the first ''Batman'' to suggest that somewhere in Gotham City there might be a Studio 54. Joel Schumacher, director and ringmaster, piles on the flashy showmanship and keeps the film as big, bold, noisy and mindlessly overwhelming as possible. In this context, it's not surprising that even the opening credit sequence is at fever pitch.

The movie begins with Batman and Robin caught up in a crazed hockey match, taking off on a rocket and then surfing through space. Aiming for comic book fans with a taste for heavy sarcasm and double-entendres, the lavish ''Batman and Robin'' cares only about delivering nonstop glitter. In the interests of this, it is more than happy to steamroll over questions of character and plotting. There's not much more to Batman, now played affably but blandly by George Clooney and given only second billing, than a heroic jaw line, understanding gaze and anatomically correct rubber suit. The mixed-up, melancholy Batman of Tim Burton's first two films looks like the brooding Prince of Denmark next to this. What ''Batman and Robin'' does deliver is outlandish visual mischief, and the more the merrier. The architecture of Gotham City now incorporates huge, hunky male statuary, and the local punks suggest ''A Clockwork Orange'' and heavy metal bands. Gotham throws a Save the Rainforest costume ball, complete with extras doing a Polynesian dance number. Mr.

Freeze, the lumbering villain played by Arnold Schwarzenegger plus a 45-pound suit equipped with a couple of thousand tiny blue lights, is the occasion for crazy experiments in icy decor. Since ''Batman and Robin'' does its best to throw in something for everyone, there's even a dinosaur in one of these frosty scenes. Like ''Batman Forever,'' the new film was directed fancifully by Mr. Schumacher and written by Akiva Goldsman (one of several ''Batman'' writers last time). Like ''Batman'' characters, these two lead double lives: they also collaborated on two John Grisham adaptations, ''The Client'' and ''A Time to Kill,'' which concern real people experiencing life without benefit of special effects. In other words they're a lot smarter than, say, Mr. Freeze, whose deadliest weapon in the film is an arsenal of har-har puns. Like: ''I'm afraid my condition has left me cold to your pleas!'' And: ''You are not sending me to the cooler!'' Mr. Schwarzenegger wears his armor manfully and delivers such lines with suitable smirks. And his Mr.

Freeze is introduced as a former two-time Nobel Prize winner in molecular biology, which is surely the funniest thing in the movie. But the ''Batman'' formula now works best when the characters, like the filmmakers, can be tongue-in-cheek. Certainly the brilliantly costumed Ms. Thurman is teasing as she plays a mousy botanist who becomes a glorious Venus flytrap and green-rights advocate. ''The time has come for plants to take back the world so rightfully ours!'' she threatens, while also denouncing Batman and Robin. (''Militant arm of the warm-blooded oppressors! Animal protectors of the status quo!'') On the other hand, several of the film's characters conspicuously fail to find the fun in their roles. After all the irony on display in ''Clueless,'' Alicia Silverstone plays Batgirl dully straight. And Mr. Clooney, who does look ideal in the Batman outfit, is often seen listening thoughtfully, grinning ruefully and not knowing what to do next. The performance works well enough for the role's limited demands, but Mr. Clooney doesn't seem to believe that a suave, level-headed grown man might actually be Batman.

Actually, you can't really blame him for that. While the film veers recklessly from neo-''Triumph of the Will'' to Hong Kong action to anything else the traffic will bear -- and that's just in the opening hockey match -- it trots out a lively supporting cast. Elle Macpherson, Vivica A. Fox and Vendela K. Thommessen supply window dressing in small roles, while John Glover flames amusingly as the mad scientist who gives Ivy her start. Michael Gough harrumphs heartwarmingly through the role of Alfred the incredibly patient butler, whose presence this time is milked to create a semblance of emotion. And Chris O'Donnell's Robin really deserves to have his name in the title, giving a much better performance as his much-improved Robin slyly comes into his own. ''I want a Robin signal in the sky, all right?'' he complains to Batman. ''I'm tired of living in your shadow!'' This time, Robin shows how to succeed in ''Batman'': playing it straight while getting the joke. ''Batman and Robin'' is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned).

It includes cartoonish violence, many coy innuendoes and fetish-ready rubber suits.

Batman & Robin - Movie News, Reviews, Recaps and Photos - TV.com Rating: PG-13 Batman & Robin is a 1997 superhero movie and the sequel to 1995's smash hit Batman Forever, starring George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell as the eponymous dark knight and his loyal sidekick, as well as Uma Thurman and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the villains Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze. The film features several other characters from the classic comic book series, including Batgirl (played by Alicia Silverstone), Commissioner Gordon (Pat Hingle), Bane (Jeep Swanson), and Bruce Wayne's devoted butler, Alfred (Michael Gough). In this installment, Batman and Robin face great odds as three powerful villains conspire to take over Gotham City and bring an end to Batman's campaign of vigilante justice. However, with the help of their new crime-fighting partner, Batgirl, they just might be able to take down the terrible trio. Batman & Robin was another big success at the box office, featuring an original score from composer Elliot Goldblatt.

Poison Ivy Hair - Brown (before transformation) Red (after transformation) Eyes - Green ―Poison Ivy [src] Poison Ivy was the alias of Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley. Half-woman and half-plant, Poison Ivy is a crafty and seductive eco-terrorist. Just as her name indicated, her exterior is as beautiful as ivy, but her interior is as deadly as poison. Contents Dr. Pamela Isley, before her transformation. History Pamela Isley was a scientist and botanist who specialized in several types of flowers in a lab in South America, with her work sponsored and funded by Wayne Enterprises .

She hated the way the world treated its plant life and attempted several experiments including using a South American rattlesnake and other venomous fluids to give flowers the chance to fight back against "the thoughtless ravages of man," but each one failed. Her employer and co-worker, Dr. Jason Woodrue , was constantly taking her venom samples back to his area of the lab for reasons unknown to her. Wanting to find out once and for all what he was up to, she crept into his lab and watched in horror as he used some of her venom to create a powerful super-soldier called Bane . Dr. Woodrue spots her and after dragging her back to her lab, tells her that Wayne Enterprises cut off their funding, but had it not been for Pamela's research, he would never have succeeded. He asks her to join him, but Pamela refuses, saying that he had corrupted her research for world-domination, and demanded to be set free. Unfortunately, Woodrue - who is not good with rejection - decided to kill Pamela, pushing her into her table of animal-plant toxins, along with her rattlesnake and the same venom that created Bane.

He left her, allowing the poisons to burn a grave for her deep within the earth she loves so much, unaware that they were actually creating one of the deadliest and most seductive villains mankind had ever known. Transformation Ivy is born. Sometime later, Woodrue entered the former Dr. Isley's dormant area of the lab, conversing with the winning bidder of Bane on his cell-phone. Suddenly, Pamela's grave begins to stir and in a pink eruption, the so-called dead scientist re-emerges as a goddess of irresistible, seductive beauty: slightly disheveled magenta-red hair that was nonetheless long and lush and brushed her shoulders, heavily-lidded chlorophyll-green eyes, and severely ravaged clothes set off a tall, slender, yet voluptuous figure to full advantage. Dr. Woodrue, who had expected Pamela to be dead, was instantly smitten with her, to the extent that he fell to his knees. The former Isley seemingly shrugged off her apparent death as a good night's rest, while her dumbstruck boss looked on.

She revealed that the animal plant toxins had made a "unique effect" on her, replacing her blood with aloe, her skin with chlorophyll and after kissing Woodroe who immediately kissed her back that her lips were filled with venom thus making her poisonous. She then pushed him backwards, with Woodrue choking and finally dying. Ivy killing Woodrue. Her revenge complete, Isley then trashed her part of the lab, shattering vials, spilling chemicals and finally starting a fire, all the while proclaiming herself "Mother Nature" deciding that she would use her new persona for floral world domination. Catching the logo of her now-former work sponsor on a nearby vial, she plots the next step of her plan. With Bane in tow, she heads for Gotham City leaving the whole lab to burn to the ground. Arrival in Gotham A week later, Isley arrived at Gotham airport, putting ten security guards in hospital and leaving a businessman dead by her poisoned kiss and stealing his limousine.

Heading towards Gotham, with Bane as her chauffeur, she hears on the radio that Bruce Wayne is unveiling a special telescope at Gotham Observatory , so she puts on a wig and disguises herself in her previous identity of Pamela Isley and decides to go there. She sneaks in while Bruce is taking a press conference and despite her rude entrance, her pollen charms the philanthropist as he greets her warmly, asking what he can do for her. After introducing herself to Bruce, she tells him that she had already been working for him in South America. Bruce explains they cut their funding because of Woodrue's military activities. Isley hands him a proposal stating how Wayne Enterprises can stop all actions that pollute the environment. Bruce admires her intentions but tells her that by using these actions, it would cause millions of people to die of cold and hunger alone. He hands it back to her stating that people come first. Isley responds by calling them "mammals" and threatens them, saying that plants will reclaim this planet and there will be no one to protect them. Everyone laughs and Gossip Gerty , one of the journalists, says that Batman and Robin protect them "even from plants and flowers".

Bruce hands her an invitation to the "Save the Rainforest" charity ball at the Gotham Plaza, with Batman and Robin as the special guests. After saying a rueful goodbye to Bruce, Isley leaves and starts plotting how to get the Dynamic Duo out of the way so that Gotham would be hers for the greening. Crashing the Party Ivy at the party. At Gotham Plaza, dances are taking place. Batman and Robin are there with many rich business men who are bidding money for several beautiful flower girls such as Lily and Magnolia. Suddenly, the original music dies down, and all the people turn to see a pink furry gorilla dancing to a new tune while removing and pulling off the hands and the head of its costume, revealing a woman who was as beautiful and sensual as a goddess of nature: her lush waist-length red hair was adorned by red roses and green ivy leaves, her eyebrows are adorned by more ivy leaves, and there was a confident sultry smile on her full glossy lips. It is Isley, who then holds out her hand and blows out a pink pheromone dust, causing some of her audience - especially Batman and Robin - to become thoroughly enraptured with her.

She finally takes off the entire costume to reveal an emerald-green ivy leaf swimsuit with green tights, and high-heeled shoes, all of which set off her voluptuous figure to perfection. With a wink at her audience (which increased Batman's and Robin's infatuation with her), she suddenly drops backwards while all the dancers catch her and lead her towards the main stage. After introducing herself to the awestruck audience as "Poison Ivy", Isley turned her attentions to Batman and Robin, and seduced them both further with her pheromone dust and her whispered offers of sexual pleasures. She then took the Eye of Isis (the diamond necklace that was being donated to the charity) from Commissioner Gordon , fastened it around her own neck, and promised an evening of her company to the winner, with the guarantee that she would bring everything about her that was visible to the entire audience along with everything that was not visible. The bids get higher and higher with the audience and the Dynamic Duo trying to outbid each other, it finally ends with Batman bidding 7 million dollars. Ivy is starting to enjoy her plan coming together, but it is soon interrupted by a villain named Mr.

Freeze who breaks in and starts freezing everyone in sight. Ivy watches him in admiration. While Batman and Robin are dealing with his henchmen, Freeze goes over to her and demands that she hands over her diamond. She tries to use her dust on him, but when it doesn't work, she lets him take the necklace. After thanking her, Freeze leaves and Robin stares at Ivy while she blows him a kiss, Batman immediately drags him away. Gordon tells her that she has just met one of the most sinister men in Gotham City. Ivy thinks that Freeze could be useful in her next plan and takes a Gotham snow globe to remind her of their meeting. She turns to Bane who is dressed as another gorilla and they leave with work to do. Headquarters After going through the alley ways and streets, Ivy recalls how resistant the Dynamic Duo were to her Love Dust, but next time she would give them a stronger dose. She spots an old run down place called Turkish Bath in Blossom Lane that has been spray painted and boarded up with signs. Bane rips away the boards and the two barge in.

They soon discover a group of Golums , with their leader sitting some feet away from a huge fire in the middle of the room. Ivy states that the place may need fixing up, but it has a homely charm to it. The Golum leader looks at her and begins to compliment her, saying she is even good enough to eat. Ivy sets down a challenge to come and get her, which he willingly accepts. With that, he sends his gang to her. She sends Bane who sends them all flying by stepping hard on a plank that they were all standing on. The gang members then flee for their lives. The two villains redecorate by removing the plastic hanging from the walls and the wooden beams that are boarding up the windows, as well as breaking a water pipe to allow water to get in. Ivy plants her own seeds that instantly grow in many exotic plants that fill the whole place. She sits on a makeshift throne, telling Bane that Freeze has a ruthless charm that she would be able to use to her advantage in her plan. The Alliance with Mr.Freeze Ivy helping free Freeze from Arkham Asylum.

Ivy goes to Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, where Mr.Freeze has been locked up for his crimes. She arrives under the alias of Freeze's sister and is immediately let in by the villain's guards who are amazed by her beauty. She blows pheromone dust at them and instantly kills them with her poisoned kiss. Freeze looks at her in admiration, Ivy goes over to Freeze and gives him her proposal of forming an alliance. The cold hearted villain accepts, but asks what she wants in return. Ivy doesn't answer, but opens the door to let in Bane who has brought back his special cryo-suit. After getting dressed, Freeze realizes that his diamond powered cryo-suit is running out of power and he needs the diamonds from his Snowy Cones factory hideout. Ivy agrees to help him and notices the other guards coming in. She orders Bane to get them out of here, but the room is reinforced steel. Freeze uses what's left of his energy to freeze the pipes in his cell, which completely shatters the walls. He gives out his instructions to his new friends telling them to retrieve his wife Nora from his lair while he grabs his diamonds and weapons.

Ivy is angry because he never told her he was already married. The three of them dive in the waters below with the guards shooting at them to no avail. Double Cross Ivy enters the hideout with Mr. Freeze and Bane and they all enter a shaft where Nora (Mr. Freeze's wife) is above them with Batman and Robin examining her. Freeze reveals his wife to Ivy who then tells him to retrieve his diamonds while she rescues her and distracts the Dynamic Duo. She blows her dust through the vent and the heroes proceed to go after her. After being tossed by Bane, Robin is flung down the steps where Ivy is waiting. She tries to seduce Robin and poison kiss him. However, Bane knocks Batman into where they are, which distracts her. She turns her attention to Batman who instantly refuses and attempts to arrest her. Bane suddenly appears again and holds Batman while Ivy makes her escape. Batman and Robin continue to fight Bane until finally Ivy blows more Pheromone Dust in Robin's face and tells him to leave Batman and work alone. The Dark Knight however knocks out Bane and again stops the seductive villainess from kissing him, explaining how her kiss poisons people.

Robin takes this as jealousy and Ivy watches as the two heroes turn on each other resulting in Robin being flipped into a vat of ice cream. She once again makes her escape with Bane close behind her. Ivy goes to the room where Freeze's wife is being kept and pulls out the plug of her cyrogenic floatation tank, leaving her to die. She tells her: "I've never been good with competition, who needs a frigid wife anyway?" A deadly plan is formed Ivy showing one of her Animal Plant Hybrids. Back at Ivy's Turkish Bath hideout, Ivy meets Freeze who has already settled in and turned part of the hideout cold for his survival. The moment he sees her, Freeze demands where his wife is. Ivy tells him that Batman killed her. At first he doesn't believe her until she shows him the snowflake necklace that he had given to Nora as a gift. Ivy pretends that she is sorry about what has happened. Freeze is furious and immediately swears vengeance on Batman and Robin. But Ivy suggests that the society that made them what they are shouldn't go unpunished.

Freeze picks up Ivy's snowglobe and says that he will blanket the city in endless winter first Gotham and then the entire world. Ivy is delighted and shows Freeze one of her Animal Plant Hybrids that they will overrun the world and make them rulers of them who will be the only people left in the world. Freeze agrees and tells Ivy to distract the Dynamic Duo while he prepares to freeze Gotham City. Once again, Ivy goes to the Gotham Observatory again under her identity of Pamela Isley. She approaches Commissioner Gordon and asks him where the Bat-Signal is. He is confused at the question, but then she blows her dust on him and he happily tells her it is on the roof of Police Headquarters. She then places her arm around him and explains that she'd be dying to see it, but questions his power to get access. Wanting to impress her, he shows her the keys. She then blows more dust onto him and he hands her the keys and smiles while asking for her name. She grasps his tie and almost kisses him, but then says he is too old for her and walks away. Heartbroken, the Commissioner begs her to come back.

When they arrive Ivy has Bane pull it out of its place and carry it back to her lair where she changes it to a Robin signal, while Bane goes with Freeze to help him. Defeat Robin after seeing the signal arrives at the Turkish Bath house. After going through several entrances made from flowers that close up behind him, he sees a giant animal plant behind a giant pond in the middle of the room. The petals of the plant suddenly open to reveal Poison Ivy who looks even more beautiful than ever. Robin goes over to her and asks if they are going to be together that she should give him a sign of trust. After getting nowhere with attempting to kiss him again Ivy reveals the plan to him, but gives him one last kiss for luck. With a sly smile on her face she plants the poisoned kiss on his lips and sneers: "Bad luck I'm afraid, time to die little Robin." But to her surprise Robin peels off one of his rubber lips that counteracted her poison so it wouldn't enter his body. Furious, Ivy shoves him into the plant infested pond to drown and precedes to make her escape. She walks straight into Batman who had been following Robin and, in retaliation, attempts to arrest her again.

The villainess sends her vines to bind Batman up. She tries to leave once again to meet Bane and Freeze at the observatory. Ivy defeated. Suddenly a caped figure crashes through the window and lands right in front of her. The figure is Batgirl , the Dynamic Duo's new partner. A fierce battle ensues with Ivy being struck down with the heroine's Judo style of fighting. She attempts to tie her up with vines and then hit her while telling her: "As I told Lady Fries when I pulled her plug, this is a one woman show." Batgirl responds pulling her backwards with the vine. Ivy pulls out her knife ready to stab her, which fails when Batgirl kicks the knife out of her hand and then kicks her into the giant plant throne where the petals close in around her and supposedly crush her. Ivy in Arkham Asylum. The Terrific Trio leave her there for the police and go to Gotham Observatory to stop Freeze and Bane. Following the defeat of Bane and a fierce battle with Freeze, Batman shows him a recorded confession of Poison Ivy attempting to kill his wife, but he had restored her systems and was still frozen alive waiting for Freeze to find a cure.

Ivy is later shown at Arkham Asylum looking miserable and disheveled from being inside the plant. She plays "Loves me not" with one of her plants. Freeze, who has finally surrendered to the authorities after giving Batman a cure to help save "a dying friend" ( Alfred Pennyworth ) and being assured that his wife would be moved to the lab in Arkham where he would be able to continue his research, suddenly appears in her cell and tells the terrified villainess that he is her new cellmate who will make her life a living hell for what she did to his wife and deceiving him, much to Ivy's distraught. Powers and abilities "The animal-plant toxins had a rather unique effect on me. They replaced my blood with aloe, my skin with chlorophyll, and filled my lips...with venom." Though Ivy was originally a perfectly normal human being, Jason's attempt to murder her with her own animal-plant toxins instead transformed her into a plant-human hybrid with a new personality and special abilities that make her a dangerous force to be reckoned with. Examples of abilities Ivy had displayed were: Poisonous Lips/Poison Manipulation: Poison Ivy's deadliest weapon: her venom-filled lips.

Ivy's full, luscious lips are capable of secreting a poison that was fatal to anyone who swallowed it orally. Hence, her kiss was fatal to anyone who shared one with her, and served as her primary and preferred means of offense, especially since it was the only real way for Ivy to effectively murder her victim: after thoroughly seducing her victim with her wiles, she would indulge said victim in a kiss, causing them in turn to unwittingly swallow a potent dose of her poison as they secreted from her lips and onto theirs. The poison would work instantaneously when it reached their vital organs, crippling their body from within. Depending on either the person or the potency that Ivy administered, the victim of the kiss would either suffer slowly or succumb to the poison quickly. Chlorokinesis (possibly): It was never confirmed as to whether Ivy truly possessed the ability to control and manipulate plants. During the final confrontation, though she appeared to be able to manipulate vines to try to suffocate Batman through a verbal command ("My vines have a crush on you!"), Batgirl managed to defeat her by physically kicking her back onto her "flower bed", the petals of which subsequently closed in around her and appeared to crush her.

Though it was later shown that Ivy had managed to survive the "crushing", she was still left in a weakened disheveled state, which throws doubt in whether she possessed the ability of plant-manipulation, given how she was not immune to attacks from her own plants when they were used against her. Pheromone Control: Due to her scientific skills in botany, Ivy was able to extract pheromones from plants and convert them into a powder-based love potion that served as a means of both offense and defense: she would blow the powder into the face of her victim or foe, causing them to immediately fall in love with her the instant they inhale the love-producing spores, and subsequently become vegetative in their desire for her and susceptible to her every whim. Ivy usually used this powder to entice men so she could move in to administer her fatal kiss. This also proved to be most dangerous for Batman and Robin, as not even they were immune to it at first, though Batman later learned to overpower it by sheer force of will.

Beauty and Seduction: With her gorgeous facial features, shapely voluptuous figure, and a new sensual personality, Ivy was an otherworldly yet natural beauty who could turn heads and leave onlookers stunned even before she could utilise her powder. At the charity ball, by only removing the first part of her gorilla costume (the head) and blinking sensuously at her audience, she had them - especially Batman and Robin - enraptured with her, proving that in certain situations, she did not even need her powder to entice a victim. She also had a wealth of shameless confidence Pamela Isley could only dream of, eagerly and playfully commanding a room as the center of attention with a few words and a smile. Coupled with her natural tendency to flirt with flawless efficiency as well as her ability to effectively utilise every bit of beauty she possessed to full stunning advantage, she was the epitome of a siren to the male sex.

Thurman ’s performance in the campy film received universal critical and fan acclaim, in which people regarded her as the only reason to watch this film. The New York Times wrote in a positive review, “like Mae West, she mixes true femininity with the winking womanliness of a drag queen ”. A similar positive comparison was made by the Houston Chronicle : “ Thurman , to arrive at a ’40s femme fatale , sometimes seems to be doing Mae West by way of Jessica Rabbit ”. In addition, the San Francisco Chronicle points out “Poison Ivy is the film's best creation. She's a radical environmentalist who gets bitten by snakes and buried in vines only to rise up, gorgeous and redheaded, like Botticelli's Venus. Like America's original femme fatale, Beatrice in Hawthorne's ‘Rappaccini's Daughter,’ Ivy has a poisonous kiss.

Like Dietrich in ‘Blonde Venus,’ she shows up at a ritzy affair in a gorilla suit.” She has won a Blockbuster Entertainment Award for 'Best Actress - Sci-Fi' in her role as Poison Ivy, and was also nominated for Favourite Movie Actress in the Kids' Choice Awards, only to have lost to her co-star Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl . However, she was nominated for Worst Supporting Actress in the Golden Raspberry Awards (Razzie Awards), but fortunately, she lost to her co-star Alicia Silverstone for the second time. Her performance as Poison Ivy remains to be one of her best and memorable performances of all time.
