Poison ivy by Gabriele Dell'Otto

The first superhero movie I ever watched was Joel Schumacher’s Batman. Right away, I fell in love with the character of Poison Ivy, masterfully portrayed by Uma Thurman. In my opinion, the character of Pamela Isley is only now finally receiving the spotlight she truly deserves. She’s a very complex antihero: tough on others, on herself, and above all, fragile. She’s always caught between two worlds, never fully feeling like she belongs to either.

The master Dell'Otto created this stunning illustration, which, in my opinion, perfectly captures both Ivy’s beauty and her danger. Because let’s be honest—does a more iconic femme fatale even exist?
