X/Twitter user BossBigBoss released an asset that looks like a child-like Poison Ivy. The villain’s appearance in Suicide Squad was a bit of a surprise, since she died at the end of 2015’s Arkham Knight. The implication here is that some part of Ivy survived and was resurrected as a child, similar to the character Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy.

What’s even more surprising is that it looks like a very different Joker from the Joker from the Arkham games (although the Joker died at the end of 2011’s Arkham City, the villain appears in the Arkham Knight via flashbacks and visions). i’m back).

Also featured is the same Batman from the Arkham games, voiced by the late Kevin Conroy, famous for playing the Caped Crusader in Rocksteady’s Arkham games and the Batman 1990s animated series. Mr. Conroy passed away in 2021 after a short battle with cancer.
