Batgirl shows up to help free Gordon but finds herself overpowered by the Batman and Poison Ivy despite this, Batgirl's able to snap Batman out of the mind control and together they defeat Poison Ivy. She quickly puts him under her control with a mind-controlling dust.


For her first act, Poison Ivy captures Commissioner Gordon and attempts to take his life before she can, however, Batman shows up. During the fight, Batman shows up to detain Temblor, but before he can completely save her, Isley is exposed to a powerful dosage of plant growth accelerator ("Chloro-Mulch") and her transformation to Poison Ivy begins. After Temblor's payment for his jobs does not come through and he learns his "boss" is really a teenage girl using a voice scrambler, he attempts to get rid of the annoyance in his life. In order to carry out her plans against the industries that are harming plants in Gotham City, Isley hires Temblor to do her dirty work (since Isley running around with her friend, Barbara Gordon, would certainly turn too many heads). Anything or anyone that harms Mother Nature is an enemy to Pamela. Pamela Lillian Isley is still a high school student and obsessed with plants (she is also found to be found to be Barbara Gordon's best friend).
