Gotham’s newest villain steps into the original role of Poison Ivy in DC Comics
“Order of the Green Knight” Debuts with a bang Sam Ivy #26 (Literally)
Sam Ivy #26 opens with Janet from HR—Ivy’s roommate and girlfriend—shopping at a natural grocery store, looking for items that the environmentally conscious Ivy would approve of. With her groceries in hand, Janet exits the store, only for the building to explode moments later. The scene shifts to an injured Janet lying on the couch as she and Ivy watch the news about the explosion. The report reveals that an eco-terrorist group called the Order of the Green Knight claimed responsibility for the grocery store bombing.Which tragically resulted in the death of sixteen people, including 2 children, and left dozens injured.
The introduction of the Order of the Green Knight not only hints at a major villain in the upcoming story arc, but is also significant because it effectively usurps Poison Ivy’s original role in DC Comics. Long-time fans know that Ivy wasn’t always the anti-hero or anti-villain that DC portrays today; She was firmly rooted in villain territory and was primarily recognized as Gotham’s resident eco-terrorist. However, Eve’s character has evolved over the years, distancing her from her eco-terrorist origins. So, it appears that DC is now looking to fill the void that Eve left with a new group of villains.

In issue #26, even Janet highlights that the men are essentially carrying out Ivy’s goals, raising questions about what will prompt Sam Ivy To oppose the advocating for her own cause.
