New Birds of Prey 11 

Stanley Artgerm Lau created "New Birds of Prey 11" in the 21st century as a comic book cover. It features the DC comic supervillain, Poison Ivy, and the Birds of Prey team set against a backdrop of lush vegetation. Poison Ivy, standing tall, embodies the complex relationship between women and nature. Her character, a botanist turned eco-terrorist, raises questions about the ethics of environmentalism and the role of women in positions of power. The Birds of Prey team members entangled in vines emphasize themes of vulnerability and struggle within female alliances, but the artwork also delves into the complexities of control and resistance. The women here challenge traditional representations in superhero narratives, offering an alternative narrative where female characters grapple with ecological, ethical, and interpersonal dilemmas. These characters navigate their identities in a world shaped by environmental concerns and power dynamics, inviting us to consider the emotional and personal dimensions of our relationship with the natural world.
