Poison Ivy As The Bad Target Of Batman #115 & Catwoman #36 (Spoilers)

Back in August, Bleeding Cool's Gotham Gossip asked you "with Queen Ivy growing a thick jungle underneath Gotham that's putting the entire city in imminent peril, will Harley restore Ivy's memory with Ivy II?" In September, it looked like that threat was coming to fruition. Now in October, in Batman #115 out from DC Comics, today, Simon Saint and The Magistrate has noticed.

Ah yes, No Man's Land. That ran for almost all of 1999 through the Batman comic book titles written by Jordan B. Gorfinkel, as a major earthquake hit Gotham City, the U.S. government officially evacuating Gotham and then abandoning and isolating those who chose to remain in the city, a period in the lives of the residents of the city, from the time of isolation, until its time of re-opening and the beginning of rebuilding. Strange it doesn't come up more often.

Poison Ivy previously wasn't in favor of taking on the Magistrate, though she allowed the Unsanity Collective sanctuary in her Eden. But they are targeting her both there… and her other half in Gotham, as seen in today's Catwoman #36.

While Poison Ivy is tending to the flock in Eden…

Her other half is on the move.

But what else could she do? Especially if she were made whole? What if the Magistrate comes to her?

Whether that's in Eden…

Or on the streets of Gotham?

Not that Simon Saint and the Magistrate would, aware of the threat, decide to force her hand on the issue, would they?

You silly, silly sausage, Simon Saint… will it be Poison Ivy, rather than Batman of Scarecrow, who defeats the Future State?
