Poison Ivy

A live-action Poison Ivy origin story done in the style of JOKER.

Pamela Isley is a nerdy and introverted botanist working at Gotham Botanical Gardens. She is working on a way of using plants to cure many human ailments. Pamela loves plants, so much to the point of where she prefers them over humans, and often spends more time in the greenhouse than at the bar with what friends she has. Pamela is also a strong environmentalist, and often shows up at protests about preventing the forest or some form of large vegetation from being destroyed. At one protest, Pamela meets famed botany professor Jason Woodrue, and the two bond over their shared love of vegetation and all things plant related. They soon become lab partners and create new innovations in the field of botany. One night, Pamela and Jason stayed overnight in the lab working on a new project, a formula that could allow people to feed themselves with the rays of sunlight, thus solving world famine and a bunch of other problems. As she walked in to check on her husband, she discovered that he was funding his research with help from the Moxan crime family. Jason saw her, and valuing his love of science more than his girlfriend, she tried to kill her by knocking her into a shelf of untested chemicals. Pamela didn’t die, however. One of the chemicals she was exposed to was the new solvent she has been working on that day. She immediately went home and killed her husband with the use of her new abilities. She now had poisonous nails and venom soaked lips.
