The CW's BATWOMAN Series Casts Bridget Regan as Poison Ivy
For those of you who are still watching Batwoman on The CW, Poison Ivy will be appearing in the show’s third season, and it’s been announced that she’ll be played by Bridget Regan (Agent Carter, Paradise Lost).
Poison Ivy, a.k.a Pamela Isley, “is as former botany student of Gotham University described as a passionate, brilliant scientist with a mind for changing the world for the better. But her plans shifted when she was experimented on by a colleague, injected with various plant toxins which turned her into the infamous Batman villain Poison Ivy. With a formidable power coursing through her veins, Pamela used her powers to do what she thought was right, even if Batman and those closest to her disagreed with her dangerous methods. Now effectively wiped off the board for years, Batwoman and the Bat Team must prepare themselves for Poison Ivy to return with a vengeance.”
Poison Ivy will be a recurring character in the series. It’s pretty cool that Poison Ivy is finally being brought to life again in live-action form. The character was previously played by Uma Thurman in the 1997 film Batman and Robin. Then multiple actresses played the character in the Fox series Gotham including Clare Foley, Maggie Geha, and Peyton List.
Season 3 of Batwoman is scheduled to debut on October 13th. I’ve personally lost interest in the show, but if any of you are hanging in there, what do you think about Regan taking on the role of Poison Ivy? I might tune back in just to see what her version of the villain will be like.
