Actually... Poison Ivy was not a man-hater, and they explored this in one of the episodes when she got out of Arkham and made a family for herself. Turns out, beyond all the trauma and hate, she just wanted a loving husband and child, but in the end, they weren't real and she was just using them as a coping mechanism for being a lonely plant lady... which is kind of funny.
I literally just watched 'House and Garden' last night in my rewatch/actual full watch of the DCAU. Reading some of the trivia about that episode the wrtier was surprised at what Fox allowed to be included. Keep in mind this originally came out in 1994, 30 years ago, and was/is still a cartoon aimed at children.
Yep. I remember watching that episode when it aired -- that one and the one where Two-Face kidnapped "Harvey" (himself) are two that really stuck with me given how they explored the pathology of coping with trauma in the only ways that seemed to make sense for perpetually broken people.
I also usually refer people to that episode with Ivy to bury the misguided notion that Poison Ivy was "always a lesbian", because she obviously was not.
