During Cataclysm, Ivy Pepper took the central park as her territory.[8] When Bruce Wayne is going to ask for help to cure Selina Kyle of her spinal problem at the recommendation of a nurse, he finds some people there who claimed to have locked the "witch" in a room with salt on the floor as they claimed that the people in the plants are her victims. Ivy did mention that the plants in the park are feeding on the humans. After Bruce talked to Ivy and freed her, she slew her captors. Bruce persuaded Ivy to help Selina for old time sake. She gave Bruce a special plant that would not only heal her injuries, but also bring out her inner self. Bruce then took the plant and left Robinson Park.[9]
