Some thoughts about Batman #43

Who can stop Poison Ivy?

Batman has realized what is wrong with Pamela and he will have to ask the help of the only person who can help her.

This... was a surprisingly solid conclusion!

Tom King offers the final chapter of this little arc by finally showing an accurate understanding of a character and her relationships. The way how the story progresses is pretty interesting due that the plot keeps uncovering new details about what is truly happening to Ivy and how that has been affecting her actions all this time, this is actually connected to King's The War of Jokes and Riddles storyline and, while that story was pretty disappointing by itself, it has created a compelling ramification here.

The way how Ivy's character is explored here makes a lot of sense and presents pretty complex traits of her personality while also showcasing who is the most important person in her life and the only one who can help her get better which provides quite touching moments demonstrating that she's not really a villain which might make some of her fans happy.

Mikel Janin remains in art duties and his work is still stunning, particularly at depicting character expressions that tell the story perfectly.

Finally a solid arc from start to finish, didn't think it was possible.
