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.

And now LJ is fine but Tumblr has crashed. Luckily the thing I want to recommend is really on LJ. Rumor Has It is a something of a fix-it fic (is it a fix-it fic if it only portrays a reasonable reality instead of making it better?) & future fic about Santana. People who love Santana should read it and everyone else should read it too just because.
