Absolute Batman #18 Preview

 

Pamela Isley grew up in the woods. Her mother called her Ivy because she enjoyed climbing trees. But her mother was sick, and Pamela dedicated her life to helping her. 

When he cuts his way into the Heart Building, Batman finds Pamela's handiwork everywhere. Overgrown, mutated vegetation fills the building. Spores drift through the air. If he breathes them in, he'll become a zombie like the police officers Mayor Hill sent in to contain the biohazard. Can Batman prevent Pamela Isley from turning Gotham into the Amazon? Or can Poison Ivy help him combat the evils threatening his hometown?
