![]() ![]() I don't recall how Joey Cavalieri came to be the writer on the Helena Bertinelli version, but I think we did some nice work on that run. Staton recalled, "I think Paul realized that I felt my involvement with Helena had been abruptly cut short, so I was always in line to be a part of any reworking of the character. Helena Bertinelli was introduced in The Huntress #1 (April 1989), written by Joey Cavalieri and drawn by Joe Staton, co-creator and long-time artist of the Helena Wayne Huntress. In the DC Extended Universe, Helena Bertinelli is played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the film Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020). The character appeared in the Arrowverse television series Arrow, played by Jessica De Gouw. The character made her live-action debut in the 2002 television series, Birds of Prey, portrayed by Ashley Scott. Originally introduced as a new interpretation of Helena Wayne, no longer depicted as the future daughter of Batman and Catwoman as part of DC's post- Crisis on Infinite Earths relaunch, she was later established to be the modern-day equivalent, namesake and predecessor of Helena Wayne. She is the third DC character to bear the name Huntress. The Huntress ( Helena Rosa Bertinelli) is an antiheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Highly skilled in espionage connections to an extensive network of spies and informants (New 52 incarnation).Expert markswoman proficiency in different kinds of ranged weaponry such as crossbow, throwing knives, etc.Master martial artist and hand-to-hand combatant proficient with melee weaponry such as a battle-staff.Extensively trained acrobat and accomplished gymnast.Birds was not moving in the right way creatively and it didn't have the auspices (to continue). "Over the course of Birds run that audience eroded, but those audiences came at first. "We believe Birds proved that there was a fantasy audience and a male audience there," Levin told Variety. Then-WB CEO Jordan Levin thought that the real problem was execution. Today, of course, there's more superhero shows about women and The CW's main focus is comic book series, so the chances of Birds of Prey getting another series would be higher.īut was timing the real issue? After all, the show's premiere had huge ratings, meaning there was clearly enough initial interest to sustain it. "If Birds of Prey had been on now, it would have been on forever," she told Batwoman TV. Skarsten suggested that it was the innovative nature of the show that led to its demise. But it quickly lost viewers and was cancelled after one series. ![]() The show launched on the WB with 7.6 million viewers and gave the network its largest audience in the 18-24 demographic. Huntress herself has enhanced strength and cat like reflexes, while most weeks they face off against criminal metahumans or villains targeting those with abilities. Dinah is Black Canary's daughter and a metahuman, something that featured heavily in the first season. In the pilot, teen runaway Dinah comes into their lives after having psychic visions of Gotham. With Helena carrying out the physical fighting as the vigilante Huntress, they take down Gotham's most villainous criminals. In the present, Barbara is the master hacker Oracle. Seven years earlier, Batman destroyed the Joker's criminal enterprise, but the Joker escaped and killed Catwoman in front of her daughter Helena. The show starts with a flashback to the events that changed their lives forever. In his place, his estranged daughter Helena Kyle (Ashley Scott), former Batgirl Barbara Gordon (Dina Meyer) and their new recruit Dinah Lance (Rachel Skarsten) fight crime. The series is set in a Gotham that's been abandoned by Batman. ![]()
