Poison Ivy is coming to Absolute Batman in the New Year. And DC Comics has revealed the cover to Absolute Batman #17, featuring the new look of Absolute Poison Ivy….
… as a Björn Barends exclusive variant cover for East Coast Comics. Her body seems tattooed by chloryphyll, leaves seem to be growing out of her, and she appears to be generating plant fronds or strands to hold up the Batskull…
Not as much of a major change as the other Absolute Gotham rogue gallery that is. This is what we previously saw of her, in action, on a different cover.
And it looks like there vmay be a bit more to here than that. Scott Snyder has said, "ABSOLUTE BATMAN 17 & 18, February and March, is a special 2-part story by me & the amazing @EricCanete that has Bruce face off against our version of Poison Ivy! But expect a couple surprises in 17 big enough DC is redacting the covers for 18…" Here's that redacted cover…
That's a lot more redacted mass… aside from this sneak peek, of course… another take on a bat-chainsaw?
Has Absolute Batman got a chainsaw and venom pipes to go up against Absolute Poison Ivy?
