Imma be honest not a single version of Poison Ivy's backstory has managed to make her getting seduced and manipulated by Jason Woodrue not seem completely stupid and out of character. She's already supposed to have been a jaded, misanthropic sociopath and a child abuse survivor before she even met him. And Woodrue's not exactly some masterful charismatic manipulator, he's a cackling nutjob with delusions of grandeur. If anything he seems like exactly the kind of moron who ends up getting manipulated by her. I guess the point is supposed to be that this kind of thing can happen to anyone but that still doesn't give writers carte blanche to not bother making it remotely believable. This is why my favorite version of Poison Ivy's origin story was Poison Ivy: Thorns where they just cut Woodrue out and have it be her dad who experimented on Pam as a child and gave her her powers. Partially because having two character defining abusive asshole male authority figures who instilled in her a mistrust/hatred for humanity is kinda redundant, and secondly because she's a kid and it's her dad and she had yet to become the sociopath we know and love so it makes total sense for her to fall for the gaslighting and manipulating, and to stay no matter how bad the abuse got.

Due to their metabolism, speedsters cannot get high from smoking weed, but that doesn't stop some of them from asking Poison Ivy, Swamp Thing, Floronic Man, or any other plant based hero and villain if they could make a strain powerful enough to work through that. Nor does it stop Ivy from actually obliging that request (but only because Harley asked for the same thing).

Thinking about Batman Secret Files: The Gardener.

Ivy's original idea of enabling plants to tell humans how they're hurting them makes her origin story that much more tragic. She was able to communicate her pain and Woodrue chose to ignore her, crushing the very dream he used to lure her.
