Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's Poison Ivy Will be Very, Very Different
Following a series of leaks that appeared earlier this week, Rocksteady has confirmed that Poison Ivy will indeed be returning in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. What's more, it seems as if she will be a very different character from the one fans have come to know.
Spoiler Warning: This story contains spoilers for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's story.
In a new video released today as part of Suicide Squad's Insider series, Rocksteady took the time to detail its customization and combat playstyles via characters like Toyman and Penguin. But Poison Ivy is the centerpiece, with the video also providing a lengthy look at a mission she stars in.
In Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Poison Ivy is a "precocious toddler with terrifying genetic engineering powers," who is "skilled at creating biological toxins that can aid players applying elemental afflictions to their melee weapons and grenades." The video showcases this new version of Poison Ivy, as well as Harley Quinn's reaction to the changes wrought on her longtime girlfriend.
Why is Poison Ivy so different? It all goes back to 2015's Arkham Knight, where she died quite convincingly.
"For fans who paid close attention to Arkham Knight, they'll remember that when Poison Ivy died, she left behind a little sprout," a Rocksteady developer explains in the video. "And in this game, they discover that the sproutling has been cared for by people who have their own motivations for doing so, but in the chaos of Metropolis she's escaped."
The video shows the Suicide Squad tracking Poison Ivy and eventually discovering her alongside a giant mutant flower. It goes on to show another round of extended gameplay, emphasizing the group's various traversal options.
