Every Batman Movie Villain - Ranked From Worst To Best

15. Poison Ivy (Batman & Robin)

Speaking of villains we wish we could forget, Uma Thurman€™s appearance in Batman & Robin is one of the worst. Just as Tommy Lee Jones was overshadowed by Jim Carrey€™s charisma in Batman Forever (more on that movie later), Thurman was lumbered with the supporting baddie role next to Arnie€™s pun-dispensing Mr Freeze in Batman & Robin. While Mr Freeze€™s dodgy dialogue gets most of the flack, Poison Ivy commits and even bigger sin €“ she doesn€™t do anything remotely memorable or praise-worthy. At least we can remember Arnie€™s lines. By comparison, Posion Ivy was essentially just background dressing in Batman & Robin. Although Uma Thurman certainly looks the part, the script never serves her up a single zinger or interesting moment. She kills Mr Freeze€™s wife, and it barely even seems to matter. The film just moves onto the next big action beat and subsequent Arnie pun. There€™s nothing worse than a boring villain, and Poison Ivy certainly falls into that category.
