The Future Of Poison Ivy In Today's Batman Comic Books? (Spoilers)

At the end of The Joker War Zone, we saw Poison Ivy, renaming herself Queen Ivy, and heading to Gotham on a mission of revenge at those who had destroyed her Eden.

We later saw Harley Quinn getting messages through the poison ivy plant she owned – and revealed in Batman: Urban Legends, that Harley Quinn got from Ivy as a symbol of their love. But in Catwoman we also saw that Poison Ivy had been captured and turned into a drug-creating factory. How will all these line up?

The most recent issue of Catwoman #29 and today's Batman #107 start to line up, as proof that James Tynion IV is treating this attempt to tie all the Batbooks like Marvel's X-Men, seriously. So in Catwoman #28, before DC Future State, we saw that the new meth flooding Alleytown in Gotham had an unusual source.

Future State showed a happier future for Poison Ivy and Catwoman, working together, but one in which Harley Quinn was no longer a thing. Indeed, she was considered toxic to Ivy.

And a post-A-Day Gotham was considered "thorny.

Catwoman #29, after Future State, had Poison Ivy in the same situation.

But now a pawn of Simon Saint and Simon Saint Industries. And looks like she will be a focus of Catwoman #29 later in the month.

Who, in today's Batman #107, continue to create exploitable fear across Gotham. And also Stabbo, an A-Day survivor and fugitive, being taken down by Harley Quinn.

The explanation is that Stabbo is off his meds, but his psychotic ramblings seem familiar. All about jungles, and roots and putting people back in the dirt.

Could he be on Poison Ivy-created drugs and is she using those to push her own destructive agenda? Simon Saint Industries are all over Batman right now, though focussed on Scarecrow. Could Poison Ivy be his fear-pheromone side hustle? And there is another Ivy-looking figure, The Gardner with her plat dogs, who is also concerned with Harley Quinn at play…
