![]() I literally became aware of the Helena Bertinelli iteration after I read every comic I could find with Helena Wayne and learned how the character was rebooted -ironically -following the events of the 1985 comic, Crisis on Infinite Earths. As far as I was concerned, the Huntress was the daughter of Batman and Catwoman, and the first mainstream Huntress comic I read featured that version of the character. My first exposure to the Huntress ever was the Birds of Prey television show, and that version of the character was Helena Wayne (renamed Helena Kyle) for the show's narrative. I guess you could say my journey as a Huntress fan started in the weirdest way possible. It's also worth noting that I was not invested in DC as a whole universe by this timeframe and wouldn't become invested in the larger DC lore until literally a year later -in 2008 -when I read my first Helena Wayne Huntress comic in Justice Society of America Annual #1. In 2007 -at the age of 21 -I had never heard of the Huntress nor Helena Bertinelli, nor even Dinah Lance as the Black Canary despite being highly popular characters in the wildly successful Gail Simone run of the Birds of Prey comic by this time. Out of the entire cast, only Barbara Gordon as Oracle was known to me because she had appeared in various comics featuring Harley, but the other two characters -Huntress and Black Canary -were completely unknown to me at the time. The first time I watched Birds of Prey back in 2007, I became aware of it because it was noted as the first live-action appearance of Harley Quinn, who was my favourite DC character at the time and the reason I started reading DC Comics. Long-time readers of my blog have been asking me for years talk about this show on the website, and now that Birds of Prey star Ashley Scott is reprising her role of the Huntress for the upcoming Arrowverse crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earths, I felt now was the perfect time to revisit her show. Review: This past October, I decided to revisit the 2002 Birds of Prey television series for the first time since my initial viewing of it back in 2007. Unsure of her background but impressed by her budding meta-human powers, the two crime fighters allow Dinah to help them thwart a criminal scheme that has resulted in several mysterious suicides and threatens the city's infrastructure. Summary: Into these women's lives comes an innocent teenage girl named Dinah, who is drawn to the clock tower by powerful, haunting visions. ![]() Producers: Laeta Kalogridis, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins, Joe Davola ![]() Cast: Ashley Scott, Dina Meyer, Rachel Skarsten, Shemar Moore, Mia Sara, Ian Abercrombie
