Batman without
the money, car, or castle. The daughter of a vicious Mafia man, Helena
Bertinelli set off on her own and changed her name to Helena Martinez. Now she
protects the innocent from crime, and from her father, in a city still squarely
under the Mafia’s thumb.
This new Huntress
is actually the third DC character by that name. The first was a seldom-seen
Golden Age villainess who made her debut in Sensation
Comics #68. The second was Helena Wayne, daughter of Selena Wayne
(formerly Catwoman) and Bruce Wayne (Batman)
of Earth-2. The newest rendition borrows heavily from the costume and methods of
the second Huntress. At the same time, the writers of this series have given her
a richer characterization that makes her something much more than a super-hero
spinoff. - ComicBase™ 7.0.
