  • Hothouse Part One · 25 pages

    Poison Ivy is back and Batman thinks she is up to her old tricks.

Publisher’s description

Hothouse, Part 1 of 2. When a well-respected university regent leaps to his death before Batman's eyes, it raises a number of questions - questions to which Poison Ivy might hold the answers. But the only answer she'll give is that she's gone straight...and it seems she's telling the truth!
