10 Villains Better For Ben Affleck’s Solo Batman Movie

10. Posion Ivy

The DCEU - heck, comic book movies in general (or even just movies, really) - could do with introducing a strong female villain (well, just a few more strong females (and indeed villains) in general would be a start, but why not start here). They tried and failed with Enchantress in Suicide Squad, but that doesn't mean they should give up, because there's one from Batman's rogues gallery ripe for a new adaptation.

For the wider moviegoing audience, Poison Ivy is most remembered for whatever the hell Uma Thurman was playing in Batman & Robin, which is a huge shame.

With the big budget likely to be behind Batfleck's film, there's a chance to really do justice to Ivy's powers in terms of special effects, and the sight of her taking over Gotham is something that could look really impressive on screen if done right. You could even make the argument that her motivations, wanting to protect nature, are particularly relevant today, even if she goes the, erm, wrong way about it.

Ivy would pose a very different kind of threat to most other villains, and also with the right material and actress could be a complex, almost sympathetic movie villain, rather than just someone for Batman to put the beatdown on.
