This week, Matt and Will are joined by the Carrie Kelly to Matt’s grumpy old Bruce Wayne, singer/storyteller/myth scholar and previous guest on WMQ&A, Veronica Biatrise (@joanofarchetype), to talk about one of her favorite characters, Poison Ivy, just in time for Ivy’s new mini-series to debut this week. We have classic Ivy, modern Ivy and animated Ivy in this week’s episode, and it’s is a deep one, filled with stories that aren’t too great but serve as a jumping off point for discussions that make this by far the most political, and queerest, episode of BatChat yet!
- Beware of- Poison Ivy (Batman V.1 #181)
- Harley & Ivy #1-3
- Everyone Loves Ivy (Batman V.3 #41-43)
Be sure to check out this week’s BatChat column, where we look at Batman: Beyond the White Knight #3, Shadow War Omega, and Batman Annual 2022.
