The Last Ship star Bridget Regan has landed a recurring role in The CW’s Batwoman as one of DC’s most iconic supervillains, Poison Ivy.
Regan will appear in the upcoming third season of the superhero drama as former botany student of Gotham University, Pamela Isley (aka Poison Ivy). A once passionate and brilliant scientist with aims to change the world for the better, her plans shift after she is experimented on by a colleague and injected with various plant toxins, transforming her into the legendary Batman villain.
With a formidable power pumping through her veins, Pamela used her powers to do what she thought was right, even if Batman and her closest friends disagreed with her dangerous methods. Having effectively been wiped off the board for years, Batwoman and the Bat Team must now prepare for Poison Ivy to return with a vengeance.

They will star alongside Javicia Leslie (as Ryan Wilder / Batwoman), Rachel Skarsten (as Beth Kane / Alice), Meagan Tandy (as Sophie Moore), Nicole Kang (as Mary Hamilton), Camrus Johnson as (Luke Fox / Batwing), and Robin Givens as Jada Jet.

More recently, Lake Bell voiced the character in the HBO Max animated series Harley Quinn.
Regan has previous experience in live-action comic book adaptations, having played Dottie Underwood in Marvel’s Agent Carter.
