Batman: 10 Awful Villains The Dark Knight Should Be Ashamed Of

8. Poison Ivy (Batman And Robin)

There is no way a couple of Joel Schumacher€™s bastardised versions of some beloved villains are not making it on this list. While somewhat of a divided character amongst fanboys, there€™s no doubt that Poison Ivy is one of the caped crusader€™s most notorious foes. Her obsession with plant life and the earth gives her motive that a lot of people can relate to, and her immunity to toxins gives her a threatening weapon when going up against the Bats.

However, Joel Schumacher decided to take these tremendous characteristics, throw in a dash of Benny Hill, a hint of Marilyn Monroe, and a whole heap of the Batman 60€™s TV show and destroy any menace the character may have had. Not only this, but apparently throwing a bit of plastic on your lips is all you need to overcome one of comic books most iconic females. Stay tuned for more Schumacher €œfine tuning€ later on.

As a pretty nerdy guy, I've loved film and television since I was a wee lad. Growing up in Ireland, The Den was the show to watch with it playing Batman The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation and everything in between. I have an MA in Radio and Television Production and have written for various sites, hope you enjoy my articles/lists for What Culture!
