Art of the Day: Poison Ivy


Artwork: Poison Ivy by TentaclesandTeeth

I get so tired of seeing Poison Ivy being portrayed as a superhero, she is not a hero. This woman is beyond dangerous and would immediately kill you, if you so much as ruin her beloved plants.

But that's what makes her who she is and rebranding her as a hero takes away from her characterization. She is obsessed with plants and she also doesn't really care much for people. She has helped people on rare occasions but that was mainly because it benefited both her and her plants. These are the things that make her tick. Not every characters has to be a hero, she's one of the baddies of Gotham City.

And this is why I love this artwork, it speaks so much to who she is.
