>POISON IVY #42>Written by G. WILLOW WILSON>Art by MARCIO TAKARA>It’s the beginning of a brave new era of Poison Ivy as Pamela Isley ascends to the role of mayor of Gotham City. But what is her vision for Gotham’s future, and how far will she go to protect it?! Let’s just say things are going to get pretty bloody!I haven't been reading this book, but how the fuck did this happen? Isn't she like a wanted criminal? And a man-hating left-wing eco-terrorist at that, so not the kind of criminal who would get support from the establishment or the media. So how the hell did she pull this off?
Let’s not pretend comic books have had any logic to them for ages now, anon
>>151775561idk. isn't vandal savage the current commissioner of gotham? didn't green goblin become president? wasn't lex luthor also president? i don't think anyone in marvel or dc care about who they're putting in positions of power
>>151775595Just like real life.
>>151775606I think that people in real life would have a problem with an eco-terrorist who has tried to destroy a city with plants multiple times becoming mayor. And not just the people, the rich and powerful would be even more against it since a politician that is an actual dedicated environmentalist as opposed to just making empty platitudes is one of the things they'd hate the most.
>>151775561>Bruce when he turns on the TV and sees Mayor Ivy and First Lady QuinnYes I know it's Absolute Bruce but it fits
>>151775633I could make a joke about real life right now, but I'm not going down that rabbit hole.
>>151775561I'm surprised that the Penguin becoming Mayor of Gotham City has never happened in regular DC continuity despite that being a thing in multiple adaptations and alternate universes.
>>151775561Lex Luthor was president of the United States and you're questioning why Ivy can become mayor of the worst city on earth?
>>151775686Probably because Luthor is one of the richest people in the universe and for the most part is not a wanted criminal and is a public figure. Idiot.
>>151775561>G. Willow Wilson
>>151775561Didn't Poison Ivy also once brainwash every single person on Earth back in Tom King's run?
>>151775686>>151775742No doubt her being mayor will be played up as if its a goos thing.
>>151775660Oddly enough, the Penguin would be well suited in that role because he is the one villain in the rogue's gallery specialized in being Batman's enemy from a position of power and influence.Instead they want to make Poison Ivy the mayor, someone with no experience in politics and who is basically one big eco-terrorism gimmick.
>>151775561>#42Who the fuck is reading date rape woman? Why are batfags like this?
>Isn't she like a wanted criminal?All that was a political witch hunt.
>>151775561She's a rugmuncher, so she's been given a pardon.
>>151775561I don't like it, but Ivy is probably a better politician than some of the other villains who gained political office.>>151775595All of these are true, but Vandal as police commissioner makes the least sense. I'm still not sure how that happened or what he hoped to achieve by taking that position.
>>151775561>how did the woman who has the power to brainwash people manage to become mayorgee, i sure wonder
>>151775868For reasons I forget, something happened to Vandal Savage where he can't leave Gotham anymore because he'd lose his immortality, so he's just making the best of it.
>>151775561okay so what are her policies? climate change is real so environmentalism is good in most cases. conservative politicians are in the pockets of the meat industry, they're already banning lab grown meat before consumers can make a choice about what they want which is anti-consumer
>>151775595>god emprah of humanity>wealthy industrialist>wealthy industrialist>dimeless radfem with a known body/scandal list longer than eps'sOne of these things is not like the othersone of these things just doesn't belong
>>151775935Clearly there's a glass ceiling for super-villains!
>>151775561Is that Harley Quinn as her advisor/chief of staff?
>>151775561Well that's a stupid idea
>>151775917That's a more sensible reason than I thought. Even if he's confined to Gotham, I feel like Vandal could do a lot more than be a police commissioner.
>>151775797>GoosGood, fuck my fat sausage fingers.
>>151775930I want you to sit there and think about this. This dumb mother fucker is unironically shilling for lab grown meat.
>>151775561As long as she has a (D) next to her name
>>151776139this dumb mother fucker doesn't even know if it tastes the same and would rather kill and butcher other living things without even questioning iti want you to sit there and think about how retarded this anon is
>>151776178Nah, Democratic voters are a lot pickier, they don't have the same loyalty to the party brand than Republicans do, it's a noted trend. “Democrats fall in love. Republicans fall in line" and all that.
>>151775561>>151775595The United States decided that a barely alive, dumb as rocks, almost 80 year old Boomer with multiple ongoing criminal investigations was the best fit for the Oval Office. If anything the comic is unrealistic for electing someone with actual intelligence.
>>151775561Yeah a convicted felon would NEVER attain office.
>>151776091Yeah, he should run for mayor. The citizens of Gotham would have to vote between two supervillians making for subtle political commentary..
"Mayor Isley, is it true that you forced yourself upon multiple of the Batman's teenage protégés over the last decade and a half?"
>>151776091the court of owls convinced him he could make batmans life hell as commish
>>151776367and then we corrected our mistake and reelected trump
>>151776269This, a democrat could never get away with acting like Trump.
all she needs to do is held shield convicted felon donald trump from getting justice for all the little girls he raped and she will get the coveted republican nomination and a federal pardon
>>151777358Poison Ivy is too much of an environmentalist to ever be a Republican, and she's arguably way too radical for establishment democrats as well.
>>151777062
>>151775930>>151776205>>151776269>>151776367>>151776421>>151777313>>151777358>>151777495
>>151775686Lex became president banking on his aid to Gotham during NML. Didn't Ivy provide some food and aid at that time as well?
>>151778076>r/donald refugees telling anybody to go to redditThat's fucking rich.Go die for Israel, goy.
>>151776707Nice.
>>151775561That's retarded.
>>151775561>>151775935>how did the person who hiveminded the entire fucking planet once and has previously emotionally altered the entire city of Gotham end up temporarily mayor?Is /co/ really this dumb?>>151776053That's her groupie/sidepiece Janet.
>>151775561Not the worst candidate
