While attending botany class alongside Philip Sylvian and Alec Holland, Pamela was developing a thesis on Plant and Animal Hybridization when her professor, Doctor Jason Woodrue, seduced her and made her a human test subject for his own "Plant and Animal Hybridization" experiments. Intellectually brilliant but shy, withdrawn and naive, Pamela turned to plants to keep herself company as a child and consequentially immersed herself in advanced botanical biochemistry research in college, proving to be an exemplary student with an unusual affinity for the world of plants. While details remain scarce, there’s been no mention of Ivy with regards to Quinn’s next DC film, an upcoming “criminal love story” opposite Jared Leto as the Joker.Doctor Pamela Lillian Isley grew up in Seattle as the only daughter to wealthy yet distant parents. (Meanwhile, she continues to keep the LGBTQ audience in mind at her production company, Luck圜hap Entertainment, which was behind Best Picture winner Promising Young Woman.)įrom the sound of it, Robbie’s petitioning hasn’t been successful just yet. Though, Robbie doesn’t have anyone in mind to play Ivy just yet. (Naturally, Ivy wore green.) She’s voiced by Lake Bell in the HBO Max series opposite Kayley Cuoco’s Quinn and was famously played by Uma Thurman in 1997’s Batman & Robin. Spoiler alert: They’re married, thanks to an Elvis impersonator in Las Vegas. Strangely enough, DC Comics actually confirmed the nature of Quinn and Ivy’s relationship last year. In any case, the pair is clearly intimate, which is why Robbie is “very keen” to explore their bond onscreen-and hasn’t given up just yet. “In some comics they convey it as a friendship in other comics you can see that they’re actually sexually involved as a couple,” Robbie explained to Pride Source in 2018. Quinn and Ivy’s relationship has never been clear-cut. “They must be sick of hearing it, but I’m like, ‘Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy. “Trust me, I chew their ear off about it all the time,” she said in a new interview with Den of Geek. That hasn’t escaped Margot Robbie, who’s played Quinn since the first Suicide Squad in 2016. They’re best friends, and more recently lovers-and yet Ivy has yet to appear alongside Quinn in the live-action DC Extended Universe. As in the comic books, Pamela Isley, aka Poison Ivy, has been a key part of HBO Max’s animated take on Harley Quinn.
