She appeared in many JSA stories during this period, and also received her own back up feature in Wonder Woman. Soon, Huntress joined the Justice Society of America, and not long after took her father Batman’s place at the table when he too was killed.
Embarking on a career as the Huntress, she brought her mother’s killer to justice. She fashioned weapons for herself based on the ones used by her parents when they were Batman and Catwoman. This led to Selina’s death, and so Helena vowed revenge. When she was 19 years old, her mother was blackmailed by an old enemy into becoming the criminal Catwoman again. Her first comic fleshed out her backstory, and told how Helena was born to Bruce Wayne and his wife Selina Kyle.
Helena’s first showed up in 1977’s DC Super Stars #17, which told her origin story. This version of the Bat and the Cat could age up, marry, and have a child. Back in the ’70s, Earth-2 was the parallel world designated for DC’s original characters from the Golden Age of comics. Only these were the Batman and Catwoman of Earth-Two.
The first Huntress was Helena Wayne, the daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. And there have been not one, but two prominent characters with this particular code name.Īlthough both Huntresses most famous for using the title have had the first name “Helena,” they are very distinct characters from one another. But Huntress has one even more than most. But who is this urban vigilante? Like many DC characters, this hero has a very complex history. The movie has Mary Elizabeth Winstead taking on the role of Gotham’s crossbow wielding warrior. The upcoming film Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) will introduce mainstream audiences to one of DC Comics’ most beloved superheroes, known as the Huntress.
