Following Ben Affleck's interpretation of the character in the "Snyderverse," Matt Reeves decided to take a more realistic approach to his vision for The Dark Knight's world in The Batman. This will make The Caped Crusader's more outlandish villains tough to adapt for future movies, but the director does seem to be open to giving it a go.
Reeves recently said he'd be interested in introducing a more grounded version of Mr. Freeze, but what about Poison Ivy?
Fans have wanted to see a new big-screen incarnation of Batman's botanical baddie for years, and while this "Batverse" wouldn't seem like the best place to debut Pamela Isley, Reeves might well be up for the challenge.
Colin Farrell (The Penguin) was asked about the possibility of fellow Irish actor Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter) boarding a sequel as Poison Ivy during an interview with Joe.ie, and loved the idea so much that he said he was going to text his director about it!
We doubt he actually sent that message, of course, but it's certainly an interesting casting suggestion. Buckley has been getting rave reviews for her performances in the likes of Wild Rose, Beast and the upcoming Men, and is widely praised as a major up-and-coming talent.
Would you like to see Ivy face-off against Robert Pattinson's Batman? If so, how would you go about making the character more grounded? Drop us a comment down below.
