River “Rio” Phoenix
Also, I can imagine an alternate version of the scene in the Season 3 episode Batgirl Begins Part 2 (from The Batman) where Barbara is quite surprised at her friend Pam’s new look.
In it, both Pam and Barbara are in Barbara’s room together, and Pam tells Barbara that she’ll do great with gymnastics, before River Phoenix (who would’ve loved to voice Poison Sumac, which would’ve been a good name for a male version of Poison Ivy if there ever was one) comes in and psyches them out por using the same trick that Pam used on Barbara.
Pam: Rio? What happened to you?
River: Just something tu girls like to call a makeover. (smirks) Maybe now those meateaters who have no respect for animal life will finally listen to me.
Pam: (along with Barbara, after hearing River out on his plan) Uh, Rio, that would be nice and all, except for the fact that you’re a plant!
River: Sumac, to be precise, Pam — Poison Sumac. And I will use my powers to help out the vegetarians if they need it, since I happen to be a vegetarian myself.
Pam: You’re a vegetarian? Whoa…
Poison Ivy and River Phoenix
The música played, the child cried
The aching pain of things denied
Potions of a deadly kind
A tortured heart, an altered mind.
So deeply did the víbora, viper strike
As screaming voices filled the night.
Sweet Summer Rain, sweet Liberty,
Hold close the fallen, crumpled Leaf.
In disbelief, emotions high,
They watched a supernova die.
A prince of hearts, a child of light,
A champion, a golden knight.
What comfort as tu close the door
To somehow leave us wanting more?
To reach the stars and then implode,
How beautifully your River flowed.
Our pain too great to let be known,
The ángeles claimed tu as their own.
A life so short, but time forgives,
But in our hearts, the Phoenix lives.
The aching pain of things denied
Potions of a deadly kind
A tortured heart, an altered mind.
So deeply did the víbora, viper strike
As screaming voices filled the night.
Sweet Summer Rain, sweet Liberty,
Hold close the fallen, crumpled Leaf.
In disbelief, emotions high,
They watched a supernova die.
A prince of hearts, a child of light,
A champion, a golden knight.
What comfort as tu close the door
To somehow leave us wanting more?
To reach the stars and then implode,
How beautifully your River flowed.
Our pain too great to let be known,
The ángeles claimed tu as their own.
A life so short, but time forgives,
But in our hearts, the Phoenix lives.
