Considering Ivy already gets mentioned a lot in other discussions and threads, I realize this runs the risk of slipping into obscurity. But I think the love we all have for this character will still make it a lively thread.
Poison Ivy started off as a clear cut villain decades ago, based and inspired by the femme fatale character type. However, as the world has evolved and become truly aware of how we affect the planet, Ivy is now seen and written as a more nuanced and even sympathetic character. Call her a villain, an ecoterrorist, Mother Nature’s Messiah, a revolutionary…they all apply in their own way. Consider this a place to discuss and celebrate Poison Ivy - one of DC’s most layered characters with one of the best examples of character growth.
I should mention that if you want to discuss the current Poison Ivy book, check out this discussion thread first, created by the awesome @Razzzcat - after you do that though, feel free to still bring your thoughts here

Thanks for the shout out, EDT!
In the recent DC Daily watch along they recently bright up the debate. It reminded a video I’ve seen after having a debate with friends about the same topic.
This lead me to the conclude no one knows not even DC. So I would like to ask the fans.
What do you think she eats?
I personally think as mentioned in the video she eats mainly fruit. As the are naturally falling it is not hurting the plant. But she may consume meat from time to time but not much as they do help nature.

Welcome to our speculative stadium, where legends duke it out and winner takes all! All what? No one knows! We’re just here to have fun!
Near the end of April each year, we show our support for the environment and the planet on Earth Day. This week’s fight is going to focus on the two greatest defenders of nature in the DC Universe-Poison Ivy and Swamp Thing!
Dr. Pamela Isley is a brilliant botanist who can control plants, release mind-controlling pheromones, and poison with her very touch. Af…
Not sure if one of these threads has been made for Swamp Thing, but in case it hasn’t…this is the place for people to share their love for The Guardian of The Green!
People can share their favorite moments/covers from the comics, discuss adaptations of the character in various media, share fan art and collections - just do whatever to celebrate and discuss Swamp Thing and the character’s mythos!

Here at DC, we have plenty of heroes who fight to protect the Earth, but the real work falls on each and every one of us. Today is Earth Day, and it’s the perfect time to look at what we can do to ensure that our planet has a long and healthy future. However, don’t worry if you’re not sure where to start. It’s hard to find an environmentalist bigger than our very own Poison Ivy, so this Earth Day, let’s all follow her example. Here are five…

If you’re a Harley/Ivy shipper, then you have plenty of reasons to be celebrating right now. A recent episode of DC Universe’s Harley Quinn ended with the Lady of Lunacy locking lips with the Princess of Plants as they escaped Bane’s underground prison. The moment was a long time coming and was a culmination of something that had been building ever since the show’s first episode. What, did you really think that Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn were just friends?! Fans of the villainous vi…
Just felt like sharing a gallery of the snuggliest fan art that I found of my favorite DCU couple on Pinterest and reddit.

^This one especially is just so raw and beautiful. I wish Harley and Ivy woke up in a cozy embrace like this after both of their encounters in the Bachelorette episode of the Harley Quinn series on this service.

My heart melts at all of this.
I also brought a thing…(because I was looking at some Dan Mora earlier today)
And another…
And another!

I’m here for this topic! Poison Ivy has always been a favorite of mine in the DC universe. She has a lot more depth as a character now than I feel she was given at her arrival, which delights my eyes. Whether a villain or eco-terrorist, imagine being able to talk to this organic spaceship we travel the universe on, then imagine being able to feel it’s pain. I would kill a few hundred oil and gas men myself, most likely. The fact that I often understand her motives, makes her relatable to me personally

I think it would be very interesting if a Batman movie made her the antagonist. There is a lot that can be explored in that set-up
