My Fantasy Of Poison Ivy As Damian's Stepmother/Adoptive Mother


Watching Batman: The Animated Series - there was one episode where Poison Ivy supposedly settled down AND had stepchildren. However, the marriage was fake. Poison Ivy created male replicas and Dr. Caryle's real children were DAUGHTERS. Poison Ivy mentioned that her immune system can't let her have children. Whether or not that was more than Status Dependent on Version may vary. However, I have another crazy idea born from that episode. 

My own alternative path is pretty much this. Poison Ivy reforms for good and figures out that both Batman and Bruce Wayne are the same. I would look at the angle that if she can't have natural children due to her hyperactive immune system - why not be Damian's stepmother and even ADOPT HIM? Poison Ivy has a soft spot for children like when she took care of the orphans. Have Bruce and Pamela settle down. Pamela chooses to adopt Damian and genuinely loves him like a son. This might give Pamela a possible redemption arc as Damian's stepmother or even adoptive other. Pamela would be the mother Damian never had. 

Sure, there's the whole "But it's Catwoman!" I admit that I shipped Batman and Catwoman during the 1966 TV show. However, that attention went to Poison Ivy ever since she first kissed Batman in the 1990s TV show.
