The Truth About Poison Ivy
A bit of Harley/Ivy discussion brought this issue of The Batman Adventures to my attention; it addresses the design change Ivy underwent in Batman TAS, and while it's a really interesting explanation, it's also horribly depressing (to me). In addition, it features Alec Holland, the man who would become Swamp Thing.

A bit of set-up: in the previous chapter Batgirl sprayed Ivy with weedkiller, leaving her weak and injured.

	That's interesting, as corpsepaint used in both the goth/blackmetal scene and in cinematic-style zombie makeup utilize blues and purples far more commonly to indicate death. Sometimes you'll see a green-grey in truly decomposed cases, but in the fresher ones it's almost always blues and purples to suggest the look of oxygen-deprived skin.

	The blue-white look is clean dead. Vamps are finicky. Green-white implies moldy, mossy and is more for zombie types. (Reply to this) (Parent)
