Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady Studio’s long-awaited follow-up to their 2015 game Batman: Arkham Knight brought back several familiar characters, including one that might surprise long-time players: Poison Ivy.

This Gotham City siren may have met her demise in Arkham Knight, but this mean green fighting machine’s story is far from over. In Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, the revived Poison Ivy is back but in a way that differs greatly from her last appearance in one pretty noticeable way, and no, we’re not talking about her newly green skin. In Kill The Justice League Poison Ivy comes back as a child.

This opens up a whole new range of possibilities for this beloved character, so we decided to go right to the source and sat down with the multitalented Darcy Rose Byrnes, who voices the revitalized version of this longtime fan-favorite character. She filled us in on some of her favorite behind-the-scenes moments, what’s next for her, and what it was like to shed her “meat suit” and get under Poison Ivy’s skin.

Darcy Rose Byrnes On Becoming Poison Ivy

Darcy Rose, I know that you had to keep this project a secret for a long time. How hard was it not to talk about being Poison Ivy?

That must have been tough.

Your real voice is obviously quite different than the voice you use for Poison Ivy in the game. How did you find Ivy’s voice?

Obviously, Poison Ivy is such an iconic character. Do you have a favorite version of Poison Ivy?

Right, right. I know you already touched on this a little bit, but if you could go a little more in-depth about how it felt to tackle this totally new version of such an iconic character.

It really is cool that you had all this history and all these expectations, but you’re also coming at this with a fresh slate and getting to kind of shape the new version of this character. I’ve always thought that one of the best things about Batman villains in particular is that they have these big personalities
