By: Morgan Galloway
In the film Batman & Robinthere was a women character called
Poison Ivy who fits the character of the myth of femme fatale. She often
uses her beauty to lure men to deaths or downfalls. She uses her wisdom to
but men in a bind and results in their demise. Poison Ivy is a woman with
intent on exploiting, and the destruction of all men who once was the cause
of her pain. She often lies in an attempt to save herself and cause harm to
others. Poison Ivy is a woman of great cunning and knowledge.
Poison Ivy came into the movie with a new beauty which first she
uses to bring harm upon her most closest male victim which also brought her
creation as in the tale of Eve being created from a rib bone from Adam. She
brings about a new hidden hatred of all men because she seems to lure any
man she can get her hands on into death caused by her poison. Eve does the
same to Adam but her poison is temptation. Poison Ivy tries to play
everyone in her web of deceit, which she uses against man. She lives for one
purpose the temptation and destruction of man, which is the description of
femme fatale.

2. Her wisdom is unseen by the men she attacks for they cannot get past
her beauty to see the reality of her evil intentions. She uses this to put men in
a trap that causes them pain and misery. Poison Ivy was a very smart
botanist before she turned into her evil ways. That explains her intelligence
and also is found in most women that have the power to exploit men. Poison
Ivy and Eve offer their knowledge that has fatal results.
Poison Ivy’s motivation for her deeds is what makes a femme fatale.
She causes the downfall of men through temptation and wisdom and she is
the creation of men themselves. Poison Ivy can also use her charm to turn
men against one another. She uses this charm to any man she can get her
hands on and can be called the most deadly of all the femme fatale’s. Her
wit along with her beauty causes an inescapable web of power against all
men and is the reason why so many men are destroyed.
In conclusion she is one of the most powerful femme fatale’s the
world has ever seen. She has unmatched beauty which is used to entice and
then conquer over men. She has great knowledge, which is used to power
over men. She is very motivated in her quest to do so and is very successful.
Poison Ivy is just one of the many women in culture that tries to bring men
down and do destroy the existence of mankind.
