* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Invokes a bit of this in Robin.

* SameLanguageDub: Although still voiced by Uma Thurman, all of her lines were re-dubbed for the final theatrical release, as evidenced by the slightly higher-pitched, breathier intonations of her speech in trailers. According to the director, this was to give her a more sultry baritone and give her a more pronounced drawl.

* {{Glamour}}: Her [[LovePotion pheromones]] can affect entire crowds, as noted at the Rainforest Ball.


Added DiffLines:

* ManEatingPlant: The flower throne that Ivy reclines on in her lair doubles as one.

* LoveItOrHateIt: While some critics were more receptive to [[LargeHam her performance]] ([[http://www.nytimes.com/1997/06/20/movies/holy-iceberg-dynamic-duo-vs-mr-freeze.html Janet Maslin's ''New York Times'' review in particular]]), she was nominated for a Razzie Award [[spoiler:which Alicia Silverstone won anyway]].

* AllThereInTheManual: One of the major plotholes people found in the movie was that Freeze's plan [[{{Understatement}} would have had a negative effect on plant life in the ecosystem]]. Going along with said plan was in fact a conscious choice on Ivy's part, as in the script and the junior novelization, there is a part where she crushes a flower after proclaiming, "Sorry hon', this is for science."


Added DiffLines:

* SlouchOfVillainy: Decides to kick her feet up when she discovers the Turkish Baths. By the time Robin discovers them, it's [[ChairReveal a little]] [[FantasticFlora different]].

* ClarkKenting: An extreme case, she wears leafy eye masks to conceal her identity. That's right: ''eye masks''. At least the heroes have the decency to at least wear [[DominoMask domino masks]]



* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: With the aid of her [[LovePotion pheromones]], if some of the gazes of female partygoers at the Rainforest Ball are any indication.

* {{Expy}}: A mixture of Catwoman's rebirth origin story from [[Film/BatmanReturns Returns]] and The Riddler's MadScientist origin story from [[Film/BatmanForever Forever]]. Stated by Joel Schumacher that his original intent was to have Nicole Kidman portray Ivy in [[Film/BatmanForever]], hence why (aside from Elliot Goldenthal's recycled score) Ivy and Chase's {{Sexophone}} motifs are so similar.

There\'s no good reason to duplicate the folder title with a header.
