Huntress #5 Preview
Feb. 6th, 2012 12:59 pmLooks like this issue will be tonnes better than the last, and Helena sheds more light on her upbringing.
I’m led to believe now, Earth-2 Batman was just like his original Golden Age version, who used to kill people. I also think she’s being more Selina-like in her approach to fighting crime. Maybe Earth-2 Selina was the post-Crisis Selina? I’m starting to increasingly believe this is *very* likely.
From DC's Source:

Damn this is too exciting. This, plus Harley's Quinn's origin coming out this week? Wednesday please come fast!!!! XP

Helena Bertinelli is my Huntress, but I wish she hadn't come at the expense of Helena Wayne. And now I wish we hadn't got this Helena at the expense of her and - Dammit, DC, just stop it.
Yeah the whole retconning-and-later-reinstating-and-lat

Both origins have great potential for great storytelling, plus could even a team-up between the two could lead to interesting places.
Yeah, there really isn't any reason for them not to be, and Bertinelli is a whole, intriguing character in her own right.
Also I'd feel less weird shipping her with Selina.From the scans I've seen, the one in the current mini seems like a combination of the two - kind of like Helena Kyle in the BoP tv series.
