So DC did one thing that made me happy
I just have to take a moment to say, for all the crappy decisions DC has made recently (and still are apparently), I have to take a moment to celebrate one thing they've done that makes me incredibly happy:
THEY BROUGHT BACK HELENA WAYNE!!!
I don't think I can properly express how much Helena Wayne's Huntress meant to me as a kid. My favorite comics character had always been Batman because of his lack of super powers and his motivation. The Huntress was the closest thing to a female Batman, not a kid but a woman, not a helper or a wannabe but a fully realized hero who didn't need anyone else. I was 15 when she was written out of existence in Crisis on Infinite Earths. A few years later I was so excited to see DC introducing a new Huntress series, but when I read the first issue and realized they had taken Helena Wayne's look and given it to a completely different character I was crushed. I was never able to take to Helena Bertinelli.
I know Helena Bertinelli has had over twenty years to gain fans who are probably pretty upset right now. I know there's much about this Helena Wayne that may be different than the first one. But for now I'm just really, REALLY happy to see her back.
