Huntress #4

[aeka]

This one picks up right where the last issue left off...it was an okay read...the easter eggs did make me smile! :D

And yes, I did say *easter eggs.* You'll see! ;)





Why yes Hel. I don't think anyone disagrees on how *complicated* your history is. ;)

Oh! And speaking of cats...let's cut down to the action scene! Does she....or does she not kill Moretti? Hold that thought!





Heh. Batshadows are quite handy for causing intimidation aren't they? ^_____^



And she DOESN'T kill him! Just like I thought she wouldn't. Also, this last page confirms that the reporters did know Helena was Huntress the whole time. Oooooohhhh!!! :O

Whee! Two more issues to go after this! :D

Hrrmmm...who could Helena *really* be at this point? Good question. We'll find out in March. ;)

What editorial or creative sense does it make to do a slate clearing line-wide reboot, then hang on to some of the more needlessly complicated stuff from before?

Perhaps I expect too much

I'm not sure I understand your question. Compared to DC not being able to make up their mind about what is still in continuity and what isn't on their main Earth, I honestly find Earth-2 a much less complicated concept for the fact that they at least *have* a consistent history. :/

While im sure im biased because I grew up with Bertinelli!Huntress, Im agree that this doesn't make sense whether they're reintroducing Huntress as a displaced Earth-2(er) and/or as Bruce Wayne/Selena's daughter/

Especially when you consider that the two most visible iterations of the character outside of the comics were the Bertinelli Huntress.

I don't think cartoons are considered all that visible. There's still an animation age ghetto out ther to a degree. That would make Live Action Birds of Prey the most known Huntress. And she was Helena Wayne

In Name, but she acted more Like Helena B....

I think the point here was that the show's Huntress was given Helena Wayne's origin, and was therefore established as 'the daughter of Batman and Catwoman' to the show's audience members. To anyone who hasn't read the superior comicbook version of the series, Helena Bertinelli is unheard of and wouldn't be able to make that connection even if she *did* act more like Helena B.

Either way that show was one of the worst depictions of DC characters I have ever seen since Joel Schummacher's Batman and Robin movie. Aside from Barbara Gordon/Oracle who was the only character done right, none of the show's main characters had any resemblance to their comicbook counterparts. Out of Huntress, Black Canary, and Harley Quinn, Black Canary was especially the most butchered. Now THAT was a character that was 'Dinah Lance' in name only because writers completely missed the mark with that character. Say what people will about the Smallville version, but she was a significant improvement over the version we got on the BOP show since she was a bit closer to the comicbook version.
