Batwoman Season 2 ended with a spiraling green hint of what’s to come, and now we have confirmation that Batman villain Poison Ivy will play a significant role in Batwoman Season 3. The CW has cast actor Bridget Regan as Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy for Batwoman Season 3, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The CW describes Ivy as “a passionate, brilliant scientist with a mind for changing the world for the better,” whose “plans shifted when she was experimented on by a colleague, injected with various plant toxins which turned her into the infamous Batman villain: Poison Ivy. With a formidable power coursing through her veins, Pamela used her powers to do what she thought was right… even if Batman and those closest to her disagreed with her dangerous methods. Now effectively wiped off the board for years, Batwoman and the Bat Team must prepare themselves for Poison Ivy to return with a vengeance.”
Regan is known for her roles as Rose on Jane the Virgin and as the original Black Widow, Dottie Underwood, from Marvel Studios’ Agent Carter series. Last season recast Batwoman following Ruby Rose’s departure, with actress Javicia Leslie taking over the cowl as an original character named Ryan Wilder. Batwoman Season 3 also has Batman character Renee Montoya joining the cast, played by Victoria Cartagena, the same actress who portrayed her on Fox’s Gotham. Batwoman returns to the CW on Wednesday, October 13.
