* MoreThanMindControl: Susan explains that Ivy's love pheromones are only to get the target's attention. Beyond that, each planet person is tailored to perfectly match the personality of their subject in order to ensure they don't get wise even when the pheromones wear off.

* HeldGaze: A short one between Poison Ivy and Batman. When Poison Ivy gets Batman on his knees after stunning him with her spores, [[VillainousFaceHold she grabs him by the chin and forces him to look up at her]]. She chuckles at him for a moment while holding him and staring down at him, before telling him in a false seductive voice to pucker up, slowly leaning in and puckering up herself before closing her eyes in anticipation.

** [[PlayedForLaughs On a funnier note]], when Poison Ivy reveals her plot to her "children's" spouses, one of them tells her frugal husband "Adios, cheapskate", despite having been described as being just as frugal. If anything, this confirms the plant people's "perfect" personalities are only a façade.

* NotGoodWithRejection: An interesting vampish spin on this trope because, while Poison Ivy was doing it to [[KissOfDeath murder him]], her face gets increasingly pissed off as Robin strains his neck to avoid Ivy's puckered lips.

we already know they're not human that's literally the point of that trope


* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Bruce Wayne is briefly engaged to a woman who turns out to be a plant clone created by Poison Ivy who he has a very emotional romance with. Bruce and many other wealthy people had been subdued by their new wedding partners through the effect of [[LoveIsInTheAir pheremones]] and the like. However, once it was revealed that these people -- who behaved like thinking, feeling, speaking creatures -- were not ''human'', Batman, Batgirl and Robin ''kill them all''. Sure, they were evil, but if they'd been human con artists the story would not have ended that way. Granted, [[HandWave Ivy has said that her plant clones are more plant than human]].

* BlackWidow: Poison Ivy's scheme is this, taken UpToEleven: she figures, why seduce ''one'' millionaire when she could use her plant-clones to seduce and marry a ''dozen'' of them, then wipe them out in one staged yacht accident. Only flaw is, Bruce Wayne is one of her targets. (And ironically, this is ''not'' the first time her plan failed for that reason, the first being in "Eternal Youth").

* InheritanceMurder: When Poison Ivy arrives at the honeymoon cruise, she reveals that she crated the billionaires' mates to emanate pheromones so that the billionaires would fall madly in love and leave everything to them. Once everything was legally finalized, Ivy would get the mates off the pleasure cruise, sink the ship, and be in control of the deceased billionaires' money. Luckily, Batgirl and Robin arrive in the nick of time, and they and Batman stop Ivy before she enacts her plan.
