Hi there! Thanks for giving me a mention on your vid! I really enjoyed your video and you did an amazing job at breaking down the Huntress’ confusing history in a ways that’s easy to follow! 🙂

I really liked her in the Justice League Animated Series when she was with The Question. They had a strange but cute relationship.

[@briangressett902]

The most disturbing thing DC did with the huntress character was in Batman: Brave and the Bold animated series. She was Helena Bertinelli but was dressed in the original Helena Wayne costume. She kept flirting hard with Batman. It felt so cringy.

June 2020 update - Selina is pregnant in the Catwoman 80th anniversary issue and the chapter featuring this storyline is called “Helena”.

I would love to see a version of Helena Wayne who exists in the future of the main earth. Like imagine Helena Bertinelli died saving the world and Bruce and Selena named their future daughter fatre her, then she takes up the mantle. She could work alongside the Terry McGinnis batman...it would be awesome

Why not combine all of her origins into one? Salina gets pregnant, doesn’t tell Bruce, and puts Helena up for adoption. Helena is then adopted by the Bertinellis, witnesses their deaths, discovers she is adopted, finds her birth mother, and learns that her birth father is Bruce Wayne. That’s what I would have done, anyway.

Hell yeah, Helena Wayne! The daughter of Selena Kyle and Bruce Wayne.

To me, Huntress will always be a Wayne family member. What I hate is that Jade & Obsidian are gone.

[@thekrakenexperiment280]

I personally prefer Wayne as Huntress, but that’s probably because the New 52 version of the origin was the one I was introduced to. That and I’m a sucker for characters that are the children of other heroes like Jon and Damien. I like the other versions of the character too.

[@TornadoWhirl33]

The whole Huntress arc in Young Justice was handled extremely well, paralleling the complexities of her backstories with a refined interpretation of her upbringing.

[@bloodmorel]

I'm old enough to be in the "Helena Wayne" camp. I will admit, I thought the Earth 2 and World's Finest titles were stand-out highlights of the New 52,

I grew up with Helena Wayne. I never understood why DC thought infinite universes were difficult to understand because my child aged brain totally got it.

[@alexandersmith7061]

I prefer Bertanelli, but I’d like to see Wayne come back if they make her more interesting. Maybe she can be Damian Wayne’s partner when he’s the future Batman. Maybe she can be the Huntress of the future, and Bertanelli trains Wayne.

[@EVENINGWOLF666]

My favorite iteration of the character has always been her pre-Crisis version. I always enjoyed her backup stories in Wonder Woman, many of which included Power Girl and there was a palpable melancholy in her dealings with the Earth-1 Batman especially after the death of her father. I even remember a story arc where the original Huntress challenged her for the right to use the name. They have done so many changes and retcons but now with the multiverse existing again they really need to find a way to bring back a version that is as close to her pre-Crisis version as is possible for modern writers to manage.

[@markhutchins7808]

I was in high school when Helena Wayne/Huntress showed up and never had a problem with DC continuity. Its harder to deal with all the freaking recons that have occurred than it was to deal with Earth one and Earth two.

[@artheaded1]

I remember being a 8th grader, heartbroken over the death of Selina Wayne and excited about the birth of the HUNTRESS! She was such a cool new superhero!

[@alancooper6443]

I am partial to Helena Wayne as The Huntress, although I did grow up too with the Bertinelli version, but the Nu52 version, who was with Spyral, can go take a hike to nowhere.

Watching Batman and Harley Quinn clips the scene where Harley and Nightwing get it on she actually refers to Seduction of the Innocence saying she had to write a paper on it.
