Meet ‘Gotham’s New Poison Ivy

If you’re still on Gotham‘s wild ride, then you can expect a shake up in Poison Ivy’s character. If you haven’t been following the show, I’ll try explaining this in the simplest way possible.

Up until now, Ivy Pepper has been portrayed as a young teenager, played by Clare Flory. Following a run-in with a monster in Indian Hill, which happens to be a secret research and testing lab that seems to be cranking out super-villains, Ivy Pepper progresses to the age of 19. Here’s the official run-down:

Following an encounter with a monster from Indian Hill, Ivy Pepper finds herself reborn, and one step closer to the DC villain she is destined to become: Poison Ivy. Now a 19-year-old woman who’s harnessed the full power of her charms, she sets her sights on Bruce Wayne.

The new Ivy, played by Maggie Geha, is set to take up the role and Ivy’s charms. I expect we’ll see more about this bit of news and more next month at San Diego Comic-Con!
