This was the continuation from Batman #339 where Poison Ivy schemed to take over control of all the assets of the Wayne Foundation. She achieved this by kissing all the board members with a hypnotic drug into her lipstick. She even gave Bruce Wayne a 2nd kiss just to insure that he would comply. She then called a special board meeting and ordered all the members to sign all the assets over to her. The hypnotic drug in her lipstick prevented any of the men from talking about Poison Ivy's plan or the words would actually choke in their throats. At the end of issue #339 Batman tried to tell Gordon what Poison Ivy was up to but the words actually DID choke in his throat.

To make things even worse for Batman was that not only had he sprained his ankle at the feet of Poison Ivy but a Mayoral candidate name Arthur Reeves had stated publicly that he knew Batman's secret identity and would reveal it if he became mayor. Luckily for Batman Poison Ivy did not know that she also had Batman under her control. As Poison Ivy paraded around down in some real nice out-fits and happily spending her money Batman started to follow her everywhere which rattled the villainess to the point that she lured Batman to her hideout to finish the battle. As Batman smashed in the glass roof Poison Ivy was waiting and ready for him. She proceeded to snap her fingers and suddenly Ivor who she had turned into a giant tree monster went on the attack vs the Batman. As Ivor was getting the upper hand in the epic battle suddenly Robin the Boy Wonder appeared and went after Poison Ivy. At that point she fired some poisoned thorn darts at Robin but they missed their mark. Robin then attacked Poison Ivy giving her a brutal kick to the villainess's face knocking her down. Robin then took control of her by tying her hands behind her back and forcing her to call off Ivor. Somehow it seems Robin is always there to take down Poison Ivy.

At that moment Commissioner Gordon arrived and Batman placed handcuffs on the frustrated Poison Ivy as she was cursing " you did this Batman- you RUINED me--ruined me" After Poison Ivy was taken to jail with her great plan failing Ivor then told all to the authorities and all Poison Ivy's actions were reversed and everything went back to normal especially after Arthur Reeves lost his bid for Mayor.

Overall this was a fantastic issue with a great story and excellent art-work. I really like the touch of seeing Poison Ivy in the great out-fits she wore around town. 10/10 on this issue !!
