Maggie Geha’s Ivy will gain her iconic comic book Poison Ivy powers in Gotham season 4, though she won’t complete her transformation into the full-blown supervillain from the comics just yet.
Gotham season 4 will see numerous characters inching closing to their comic book counterparts: David Mazouz’s Bruce Wayne has already donned a proto-Batsuit, continuing his transition into Gotham’s Dark Knight; Drew Powell’s Butch Gilzan will return shortly, reborn as the reanimated villain Solomon Grundy; and Ivy will gain actual superpowers, fans have now learned.
Up until now, Ivy had to use botany, smarts, and her womanly wiles to commit crimes.
It will be interesting to witness whether Ivy gains the power to control plants with her mind, and to learn what her physical rebrand will entail.
