A grey title card with black rose turns covering the borders as a singular red rose is seen by the bottom right, Pretty Poison is shown in the middle of the screen.
"That framing of the black thorns with a red flower is kind of pretty, but I bet it has to do with another villain" Momo said as although elegant in a way, all of the previous title cards had alluded to some kind of villain
"So it's a plant based villain this time?" Ojiro comments considering the rose and thorns, slightly reminding him of that Ibara girl from class 1-B.
"Hopefully this one will succeed, everyone else got so close but fumbled the bag last minute" Mr Compress admitted that so far the other villains hadn't really been all that successful, they had done some impressive work in their plans but always lost right at the end.
"Depending on their plan, it is possible. But any villain that came into direct conflict with Batman seems to fail once he begins coming after them specifically" Kumogiri gave his own opinion on the matter, considering Batman is always the main factor behind their defeat, it would be best that whoever this villain is they stay under the radar long enough to fulfill their goal, What that may be.
"I have a better idea, just kill him already, end of story." Shigaraki added his own opinion, this Batman guy was so frustrating to watch and these villains were also getting in his nerve with how they always fail. They should stop with the theatrics and go straight for the kill, but Joker and Scarecrow just kept acting all high and mighty when they really weren't.
"There is poison in the name, so maybe their main power is related to it" Ochako said as the poison angle didn't feel wrong to assume, considering the title does show it would involve some form of poison. Although it might just be a metaphor now that she thinks about it.
"Wouldn't be a farfetched conclusion, but until we see them in action, it is best our expectations are not too big" All Might as the possibility of that being the case wasn't zero, but until they get any confirmation of what the villain actually had in terms of power
"I rather we see something more dazzling than with the previous ones" Aoyama comments as he strikes a pose, hoping to see a more elegant villain than the likes of Scarecrow or Man-Bat.
"Hey midget! Does the villain of this one have powers or is another quirkless guy with a gimmick?" Bakugou called the interdimensional imp's attention to settle this, because he really wanted to know if anyone else that Batman is going to face had powers. So far Man-Bat was the only one who demonstrated anything like a quirk so far, the rest just use gadgets and scientific stuff to simulate powers like Scarecrow, Joker just uses machines to do the heavy work.
"Depends on when you're watching" Bat-Mite responded which just got everyone confused
"What does that mean?" Jirou asked which most of the watchers also wanted some form of clarification
"Initially this villain doesn't have any powers, but they do develop some later on. But if you want to see that, you are going to need the external material to get the full picture" the imp showed them comic books with characters they haven't seen yet blackened out in the comic cover so they couldn't make out who they were, these comics seem to depict Batman in various situations fighting some kind of villain, one having him at the mercy of plant tentacles as another figure looks on.
"So we aren't going to see how they get their powers? That's kind of disappointing" Toga pouted as she kicked the seat in front of her, which was Mr compress seat as he just sighed annoyed and hoped she would stop
"To be fair they aren't very combat focused aside from one, I won't say what these powers are since that would be a spoiler. But I will bring it up later if you want" Bat-Mite offered which made most of them move over from the question, believing the super fanboy would do it considering how much he talks about this hero's universe. [1]
A pair of hands belonging to an unseen person carefully uproot a tall wild rose growing in the ground, and pot it. The whole scene is in a old grain tone
"Those hands look so soft and gentle, must be from a woman" Mineta said as he had a cheeky smile
"How do you know that?" Sero asked considering they were only seeing hands with gloves on, not really any indicator to the gender aside from the slimmer arms. But then again that wasn't much to go off either
"It could just be a delicate and refined man as well" Aoyama added
"Trust me, I know when a lady is about to-" he got slapped in the face by Asui's tongue
"We haven't even started and you're already being a pervert" the frog girl comments, the other 1-A girls nodding
On a strip of bare land, Mayor Hill announces the beginning of construction for a new, modern prison, Stonegate Penitentiary, which will go a long way toward making Gotham safe for its citizens. Hill commends District Attorney Harvey Dent as the driving force behind the prison's construction. The person from before is seen watching from afar as they make their way out with the plant carefully
"Building up the suspense of our villain I see" Mr Compress comments as the scene clearly had such person, hiding the identity of whoever this person was to have a bombastic reveal later
"Yippee, prisons. I bet they solve crime" Toga sarcastically said as she rolled her eyes, while she has never been in one, as a villain it was hard not to hear how oppressive those places are.
"They can treat the symptoms but never the disease, putting people in jail won't stop crime from existing unless you fix society's real issues" Shigaraki made a opening for whatever speech about society he had planned, but his dry lips were sealed by a invisible force, obviously Bat-Mite.
"You guys are starting to sound like the 'we live in a society' crowd, please tone it down a notch." Bat-mite comments as he gave the league a side eye, in hindsight he should have done some more research on the league before bringing them here, this Tomura fella was much more of a buzzkill than his companions. [2]
Shigaraki was ready to speak up his reasoning for such belief and why he was justified to feel that way, but Kumogiri put a hand on his shoulder with a look of 'Is not worth it'. Shigaraki scoffs angrily in annoyance but keeps himself silent, the amount of pain he wanted to put the imp through was large, but he couldn't do anything in this domain Bat-Mite had.
Harvey digs the first shovelful of dirt as the news captures the moment in a photo. The same newspaper gets ripped apart by the unseen person from before as they move on to take care of the rose.
"Okay so does this person hates the prison being built or just Harvey Dent?" Satou asked considering the motivation of the supposed villain was left ambiguous
"I imagine that, with how much Harvey contributed to laying the ground work for the prison being built, he would be the main target to the villain's anger" Midoriya comments as he made a guess at what the villain would do, considering the little they were shown
"Good job on that hypothesis, young Midoriya" All Might complimented his successor with a thumbs up
"He does have a pretty punchable face that could do with some burning" Dabi jokingly said as he crossed his arms, honestly he couldn't care less for this district attorney or anyone in this
"You have no idea" Bat-mite chuckles to himself without the others knowing
The story fades to five years later, showing that the land had been fully transformed into a large grey prison, with the words "A better, safer Gotham" on screen.
"Wow wait, we went through a time skip? We were watching a flashback this whole time?" Denki was a bit surprised but it explains the coloring from earlier, most of the class had already presumed that.
An inmate of the completed Stonegate prison escapes with the help of a helicopter-flying accomplice. Gordon receives a call and storms out, ordering his men to go after the helicopter, while everyone leaves, Bullock goes back to grab a donut before joining the rest of his colleagues.
"I swear... This Bullock should be kicked out of the force" Aizawa groans as he messaged his forehead, he was getting tired of how lightly this man took his job
"I thought it was funny" Hagakure comments as to her, it was a nice moment of levity considering the building tension, also shows a bit of personality even if not a positive look for the police
"How ironic that a safer Gotham looks so lifeless and grey" Mr Compress spoke, considering how the better Gotham that was advertised didn't inspire that sentiment at all, felt more depressing than hopeful. But that could be said for the rest of the city now that he thought about it, gothic architecture was everywhere.
"Prisons aren't known for being fun, otherwise it wouldn't be a punishment" Aizawa replied with a stern look to the villains, who ignored him aside from Kumogiri.
Both are commemorating their escape, as the dark silhouette of Batman uses his grapple hook to be wrapped around the chopper's tail, causing it to crash, one of them gets jumped scared by Batman and both of them are apprehended by the caped crusader
At the same time, Harvey Dent is seated in a restaurant with his very beautiful girlfriend, Pamela Isley, waiting for the arrival of Bruce Wayne. Dent talks up his friend, saying "there's nothing we don't know about each other." Dent's description of Bruce coincidentally paralleled Batman's apprehending of the escaped inmate.
"Do you think he knows Bruce is Batman?" Koda asked since the way Harvey spoke of Bruce felt too specific, either he was in on the vigilante work of his friend or Dent was truly clueless on the whole thing.
"Maybe? I honestly don't know." Ojiro replied
"Why would he tell this man about it? Friend or not he would just be a liability if he knew" Aizawa gave his on thoughts in the matter, Dent didn't seem to be as trust worthy as Alfred for Bruce to confide his secret on him. Aside from Alfred and Robin, Batman seemed to have a very closed circle of friends that knew the 'real' him.
"Wouldn't a good look at his chin give away his secret identity?" Kaminari suggested since Bruce was kind of a big shot billionaire, with plenty of news articles about him so maybe a person could connect the dots?
"There are a lot of variables to that question, but I suppose someone with a keen eye to details might be able to do it." Izuku was writing down in his notebook about the Dent since they were learning more about his relationship with Bruce, Bat-Mite had told them he would be important later and maybe this was it.
Batman delivers the escapees to the police, then calls Alfred to say he's running late for his dinner date. Alfred calmly reports that he's already warned Dent and Isley. Batman rushes home, hurriedly changes, and drives to meet his friend.
Later, as all three of them share a laugh over after-dinner coffee, Isley notices the time and says she has to run. Before leaving, she grabs Dent and plants a deep kiss on him. As she walks out, every man's eyes follow her, and Bruce asks, "does she have a sister?" Dent, a little flushed, announces that he's asked Isley to marry him. Surprised, Bruce reminds him that they only met a week ago.
"Okay... That's a bit shady, falling in love to the point of wanting to marry the person in just a weeks? That's a bit absurd" Momo comments since that decision seemed like Dent jumped the shark, he only knew that red head for a week and is already planning a wedding? It was moving too fast for her liking.
"No, that's love! Time isn't a importance when you love someone!" Toga came in defense of Harvey's decision, she was very passionate about the subject despite how... Things turned out for her, besides the way she was looking at Midoriya could explain that too, he reminded Toga a lot of her first crush.
"Or this Dent guy is just a hopeless romantic" Shouji said a bit uninterested about the district attorney's love life, still there was a possibility of 'love at first sight' for how unlikely it was.
"But you saw that woman? Who wouldn't want to marry a bombshell like that?" "I WOULD!" Twice asked and shouted over himself
Dent assures Bruce that he's in love; he knows Isley's the one - then he passes out and goes face-first into the dessert. Bruce laughs initially, then realizes something is wrong. Dent is rushed to the hospital in a coma, a repeat of the police department scene happens but now they are rushing in to the hospital, Bullock grabs a donut and comes back for a second one before leaving.
"Ah finally, was getting tired of that lovey dovey talk, I hope he's dead" Dabi smiled as he saw the scene, at least one of them hit the bucket now they could finally get started on seeing whatever revenge plot the alluded villain from the beginning had planned
"Seriously? Again?" Bakugou asked, the first time might be funny but a second time? This Bullock guy must be a glutton, or he might not really care for the district attorney.
"Can't this man take the situation more seriously? The district attorney was possibly poisoned, how can he think of food at a time like this" Iida had his hands chopping the air as everytime he appeared the amount of unprofessionalism displayed by Bullock was infuriating, even more so when compared to Gordon's better showing of police work
"That was kind of funny" "LAME!" Twice had both enjoyed and got annoyed at the scene
The doctors report that he has been poisoned, Gordon sends Bullock to investigate the restaurant while Renee is to stand guard.
"Ah, so that's why the title said pretty poison..." Kirishima said as the class now knew what the title was about, a few theories begin to brew between the few of them.
"It was Pamela no doubt! Harvey passed out a little after that kiss with her! She might be the person we saw in the flashback!" Denki shouted from his seat while pointing at the screen, despite not wanting such an attractive gal to be behind a sinister plan, it just sounds like a classic noir plot which Bat-Mite said was Batman's main thing in his adventures
"What if she isn't the one who poisoned him? Shouldn't you heroes try to research the crime before jumping to conclusions on how is the real villain?" Spinner now came in defense of Pamela as they didn't have any evidence to assume such, they shouldn't expect things to be so simple. The reptile villain was willing to give the red haired woman the benefit of doubt
"Guess we are going to learn soon enough" Sero comments as he gets Kaminari to sit back down, Bakugo rolled his eyes at the electric classmate's claim. (but he did kind of agree)
Bruce asks the doctor about the poisoning and he responds that they cannot stop the process without the antidote. After he leaves, Bruce sneakily takes a sample of Dent's blood for him to make his own tests. The police grill the staff at the restaurant, but are unable to guess how Dent was poisoned.
"Ooohh~ getting a little snack for later Brucie? Now I'm getting the whole bat motif, he drinks blood like me!" Toga said jokingly, the imp said for her to cherish the little moments where blood would appear so why not have fun?
"No, he is just going to run some test on it" Ochako responded as she took what the villain girl said literally, a bit tense from their previous encounter
"You know there is a universe where Batman fights vampires, there is a whole moment where a blood bank is getting raided and begins to rain drown blood." Bat-Mite said as he remembered all the times Batman fought vampires, honestly that movie was a great Halloween watch now that he thought about it. The villain girl however has a sparkle on her eye upon hearing that
"Can we see that!" Toga shouted in amazement, that would be such an amazing thing to see. She was excited just imagining how it would be to have a blood bath like that, plus a vampire story sounds objectively cool.
"... Not feeling like doing Batman vs Dracula" the imp once again took all the joy out of the girl, who crossed her arms frustrated. [3]
"At least we know the food isn't poisoned, now we have to see what Bruce finds on the sample that the medical staff couldn't" Izuku comments, since Batman had a much more advanced computer than what the hospital seemed to carry.
In the Batcave, an analysis reveals that the poison was extracted from a rare plant, the Wild Thorny Rose. Batman says they can use the same extract to create an antidote, but Alfred reports that the rose is extinct, meaning there is no antidote. We cut to the unseen person cutting part of the extinct plant.
"That makes things more difficult..." Jirou comments as with the plant being extinct, finding a way to save Harvey would be much harder than any of them expected.
"Who the hell names a plant wild Thorny Rose? That's just stupid" Bakugo spoke up since that seemed like incredibly generic and boring, he would come up with a much better name. His classmates look at him with a 'seriously?' expression considering the explosive teen's hero name
"Maybe the same people who make ridiculous names like... Eraserhead" Shigaraki said as he sent a look Aizawa way but the pro hero didn't react which frankly annoyed Shigi
"There's actually a villain called the Eraser" Bat-Mite snaps his fingers and a image of a man wearing a suit with the theme of a pencil while his head is a helmet shaped like an eraser at the end of said pen, it was a rather goofy costume that made the hero students chuckle while Aizawa stood silent seeing this "He is the type of villain to sell his service to others, more of a support villain than a standout act"
"... Why do I got a bad feeling about this?" Shigaraki muttered to himself, something was telling him that more lame excuses for villains were to appear.[4]
As Bruce watches over Dent in the hospital, asking for him to fight through this, Isley comes running to him. He offers some words of comfort while escorting Pamela to the parking lot, and she leans in to give him a grateful kiss.
"Woah, not in front of your comatose boyfriend! What if he wakes up right now?!" Denki asked because that was kind of left filed for her to do, Dent seemed like a nice guy so hopefully she isn't trying to leave him behind just to start over with Bruce, there is still a chance he could live.
"Her boyfriend is dying and she just decides to go after a new, rich man as easy as that? What a golddigger" Hagakure comments as unless it was a simple kiss of gratitude in the cheek, then Pamela was a horrible girlfriend for trying to move over to her fiance's best friend
"She's acting like a whore" Bakugou simply said as he didn't care much for what Ivy was doing
Suddenly suspicious, he avoids the kiss and turns it into a hug, remembering that aside from the food, Harvey had also kissed Pamela. As he drives home, he asks Alfred to check Pam's background, Alfred reports that Pamela Isley holds a PhD in botany and is employed by a cosmetics company as a chemist working on perfumes. She also offers a weekly lecture series at the university on rare and extinct plant species. Both he and Bruce reach the obvious conclusion.
"A chemist especialized in plants that does lectures about extinct plants like the flower used for the poison..." Iida and the others realize what conclusion that was, they have all the clues that Ivy was the one behind Dent's poisoning
"I knew my theory was right!" Denki commemorates the fact he was spot on, having a smug grim for those who doubted him. [5]
"... I suppose, but we have yet to see if Ivy has a justified motivation to kill Harvey, how do you know he doesn't deserve it?" Kumogiri comments, depending on the motive he could understand why Ivy went through with poisoning dent, all indicates she hates him for building that prison they were shown earlier
"Considering how this Batman is, doubt he would be meddling with a criminal as his best friend" Dabi responded still not very interesting in the plot, but maybe the action will be decent.
Batman goes to confront Isley at a greenhouse where she has a laboratory, he spies from the windows on top and catches Pamela talking with the plant as if it was a person, afterwards she turns off the lights and turns on the radio that plays a calming song as she changes clothes.
"Hehe, nice" Mineta said with a cheeky smile. Luck for the midget Tsuyu didn't hear him
"Can we focus on something else? MAN SHE IS HOT!" Twice spoke with a mixture of excitement and disinterest at the same time
"I bet there is a trap" Dark Shadow comments
"Seeing how the two previous villains acted, it wouldn't be far fetched to assume" Tokoyami recalls how Joker always had a trap set in place on his base of operations, Man-Bat was barely capable of reasoning so he couldn't lay any and Scarecrow didn't prepare one because he didn't account for Batman keeping his pursuit after their initial encounter. Depending on how competent she is, Pamela would have more than one deadly trap hidden
When Batman enters, he almost falls into a pit full of cacti thanks to a trap door, luckily he uses a plant vine to eacape, but the vine begins moving as he is seized and held prisoner by a gigantic Venus Fly-trap, large enough to engulf him. Isley appears in a green costume and calling herself "Poison Ivy."
"Knew it" Dark Shadow said as his prediction came through, granted it was a kind of obvious one.
"Her villain costume could be better, besides the green tone it doesn't really remind me of plants or poison ivy at all" Mr Compress said as the clothing lacked a certain flair, so far the other villains while they had simplistic suits it still showed their theme much better than Ivy, if the red head wasn't surrounded by plants he would guess her gimmick was said plants
"I hate to say it, but I agree with you on that" Aoyama reluctantly admitted
"Still not a bad costume if her intention was going with the femme fatale look" Kaminari spoke as he got a side eye from Jirou with him replying with a 'what?' expression, the earjack student rolled her eyes, at least he wasn't as blunt about it as Mineta
"Some versions barely even have clothes to speak of, one she is literally just using leafs to cover herself up" Bat-Mite gave a little bit of trivia, which most found unnecessary but choose not to speak on
"Can we see th-" the short student got punched in the head, surprisingly by Kirishima who was sitting behind him
"Dude, come on." the red haired teen said with a nodding sentiment coming from the girls [6]
She explains that Dent had to pay for his crime as a "murderer" - plowing up those wild plants to build his prison, which would have included the Thorny Rose, had she not saved it. While the flytrap's branches hold Batman's head steady, Poison Ivy applies a coating of the poison to her lips, then gives him a kiss. He spits immediately, but is already feeling its effects while Ivy mockingly holds up a bottle of the antidote she developed.
"Wait... This is all because of a fucking plants?! She became a villain because she considers killing plants wrong?!" Bakugo shouted in complete disbelief, that was her motive? The explosive blonde couldn't even comprehend how she would come to see human life as less valuable than humans, granted the flower was extinct but taking revenge in this way, to him just felt absurd.
The class and teachers had similar thoughts, not understanding fully why she would go into the route of villainy for such a reason.
"That's kind of dumb, is like feeling sympathy for a rock" Dabi commented rather bluntly, he almost wanted to laugh at Ivy's reason to take revenge. It was surprisingly petty, something he could almost admire if he actually respected her motive. The blue flamed villain would rather burn down the world than try to save it, if it meant getting his revenge so he couldn't really sympathize with the cause Pamela had.
Shigaraki on the other hand... Actually agreed with Bakugou on this, sharing the sentiment that Ivy's motive was not good. It just felt like a trivial motivation for being a villain, there had to be more to it than just plants, right?
"... She doesn't have a power to communicate with plants or something, right?" Tsuyu asked, the imp did mention plant based powers being developed by Ivy later on
"Not yet... She gains plant based powers later on, but right now she doesn't have any" Bat-mite gave a bit of a explanation, granted is never explicitly stated but considering her other plant abilities, it made sense for communication with plant life to be part of her abilities later on.
"So she is just mentally insane then? Wonder what could have led her to have such fixation on plants" Izuku theorized as he began to make a sketch of Poison Ivy in the page he made for Pamela earlier, curious as to why she would take the path of villainy
Batman cuts himself free of the plant and attacks, causing Ivy to scream in anger while she shoots at him with a crossbow attached to her wrist, he dodges it and the arrow kills her plant instead, as she horrifyingly calls him a "murderer" and keeps shooting. In the struggle, an overhead lamp is broken and falls to the floor, beginning a fire that Ivy reacts with more emotion than she had ever shown when she was with Harvey.
"Jeez, was she raised by plants and learn their secret language or something? I know nature is important but she's acting like she could actually hear or feel the plants and their pain" Kirishima spoke up, the woman treated those plants like they were more important than any human or animal she ever met, he could understand that Pamela grew them herself but she is acting like her first born had just been murdered.
"If only she had a quirk like that, 'Plant Speak' or whatever. Maybe then her struggle would be relatable and less... Strange" Spinner said as then he could easily why she would take this path, if Pamela could understand the plants around them and hear them being hurt by humans, then she would be more justified in his eyes.
"To be honest she does feel a bigger connection with plants than with humans, like how some humans don't feel sympathy for ants they step over or their fellow men. Ivy is mostly an environmental terrorist who hates the pollution caused by humanity"
"I suppose that explains more of her motive" Mr compress said as this gave them some much more needed context, Ivy hating other humans for what they have done to nature made more sense when seeing the heavily industrialized city of Gotham and how polluted it was. Now the league could sympathize more with her motive as Ivy was standing up for nature, who couldn't fight back against humanity directly, Dabi still found it to be a weird motive however, but he mostly didn't care
"Now about her weapon. It's odd, what does a crossbow have to do with the plant motif?" Mina asked since she couldn't see the connection between the two, did she just pick a crossbow because she liked it?
"Especially when guns exist" Bakugo added, seems like a fire arm would be more effective but he can guess Ivy is more environmentally conscious
Ivy tries to escape holding the extinct rose, but the fire is quickly consuming the place, Batman saves her from falling debris as she opens a trapdoor in return, dumping Batman down into a pit of spiked plants; he hangs onto the edge dizzy from the poison. Ivy aims her crossbow at him, but he reveals the rose in his other hand. She gasps and rages but has no choice. She surrenders the antidote and, as soon as she has hold of the plant, forgets about everything else. Batman breaks them both out of the greenhouse before the fire destroys the rest of the foliage.
"That... She could have ended him but surrendered because of a stupid flower! She missed the perfect chance to end that pathetic hero just because of a damn rose?!" Shigaraki was fuming at the mouth, the other villains may have slipped up but this? He couldn't believe she would drop it all of for a goddamn plant, Ivy gave up on her advantage for a fucking rose "I'll go there and make her and those plants she loves so much extinct for that!"
"Dude, chill out" Sero and Kaminari spoke towards the villain since he was getting way too heated up about this than even Bakugou
"This joke is part of the oh so called legendary roster of villains you spoke of imp?" The decaying villain questioned Bat-Mite who gave him a deadpan expression
"Sorry, I didn't know all the villains of your world were perfectly sound of mind and never let their emotions dictate their actions. I guess none of the members of your group suffer from any mental illnesses then? Or never commit mistakes, can you really look me in the eye and say that when your world has some 'terrible' villains too?" The fifth dimensional imp laid it down for the villain, he couldn't honest expect every villain to be like he wants them to be, even amongst Batman's rogues there are weaker costumed criminals that never really grew into anything more than their gimmick. It was hypocrital to think another villain is a failure just because they lost or did a stupid mistake, you need to dig deeper to truly dictate if they aren't worth of the villain title
"... Fine, I give you that. But I still believe Ivy committed the dumbest choice possible" Shigaraki reluctantly said, he didn't want to outright agree with the imp but he had to admit not every villain can be like him or sensei, some of them are dumb or unreliable. Even amongst the league he had reservations about a few members, but they all shared similar desires to him.
"Maybe, but trust me there are worse villains out there. Besides this is just Ivy's first appearance, give her some more time and maybe you will appreciate her more" Bat-Mite patted the villain in the head before returning to his seat floating above the group
Dent awakes in the hospital to see Commissioner Gordon and Bruce standing over him. Bruce confesses that he doesn't think Isley is the one for him...
"Breaking down the news his fiance tried to kill him because of a flower is going to be hard" All Might comments since... That was kind of a lot, Dent would probably be devastated but Bruce could help him deal with the situation.
"I wonder how Dent will do going forward, he is going to appear later right?" Momo asked, while the adventure was mostly focused on Dent, she wouldn't call it his standout appearance like Bat-Mite had alluded to.
"Yeah, you guys are in for a surprise. Dent is actually one of the more complex individuals in Bruce's life, but I'm getting ahead of myself" Bat-Mite teased them to what the future held for Harvey, they were excited but also a tad bit worried considering how the imp is.
In her cell in Stonegate, Ivy huddles the rose protectively, vowing that "they can bury us deep, but we always grow back..."
"You know, I'm not sure if she should be in Arkham or Stonegate prison because she clearly need psychiatric help" Izuku comments as Pamela was clearly disturbed, not only for the attempted murder but also for how she was weirdly infatuated to plants, it wasn't a normal interest or fascination. The plants seemed to hold more importance to Ivy than anything or anyone else, to the point she would take a life just because a plant was threatened.
"A good majority of Batman's rogues are sent to Arkham asylum for rehabilitation, because they either have special needs that normal prisons aren't suited to attend or have mental illnesses that make them eligible for institution, hence the criminally insane title" Bat-Mite explained and the villains would accept that explanation, besides it didn't seem to have much heavy security so breaking out would be easier for the villains they had and will see.
While it was a interesting viewing, a few of them were left wondering more about why Ivy would go in such extreme lengths for a plant, not to mention what the future holds for the villainess and her ex-fiance. They could have their answer sooner or later, but for now the group would see what the next adventure held in store for them
[Author's notes]
Leave a review to help me get a sense of your thoughts towards the episode, follow and favorite to support the fic
This episode should not have taken as long as it did to come out, but IRL stuff kept coming up so working on this was hard. Besides I do have other fics I like to give some attention to, my Ben 10 fics for example.
[1] the tie in comics for the cartoon alluded to this as a explanation for her redesign in the series, she gained plant characteristics like needing to breathe carbon instead of oxygen and was fine after being stabbed in the heart, I think we only see those in the comics though.
[2] Shigaraki is probably my least favorite member of the league, I don't want to bash him too much but I feel he works to be the complainer of the group, not to mention how some villains do get defeated rather easily due to BTAS being a children's cartoon. Originally was going to make Aizawa be more against Batman's methods but realized the whole underground thing was just like Batman.
[3] If I were to show them any other form of Batman media like the other animated series or films, would it be best for them to not have watched BTAS? I don't know if that would cloud their judgement of the different takes of those characters, on one hand they have an idea of who they are but at the same time it could lead to constant comparisons.
[4] Batman has some goofy villains from the Silver age, but I know for a fact some of BTAS villains are going to be more comedic than any of the MHA cast is ready for. Looking at you Condiment King, you beautiful joke of a villain
[5] I really like Kaminari, I think he is fun and I hate to see some fics treat him like he is a dumbass and nothing more, that he can't do anything right.
[6] so many fics react or not bash Mineta, it can get tiresome, I feel that in a episode like this is better to get it out of the way. Trust me I won't have him be abused in every episode, but guy is a die hard simp so in a female lead episode this is going to happen.
