Default Is The Huntress Ever Going to Figure Out Who The Bat Family Are

In the odious Nightwing/Huntress mini-series that everyone including the characters regrets, though he never tells her his real name, Helena clearly sees Dick Grayson sans mask (and everything else), but strangely has never seen a paper or TV show in Gotham City that clearly identifies him, not to mention his "dad" and "little brother." Just how long are they going to make her so utterly clueless!?! Especially now when Dick has to do all the society rounds and public appearances that Bruce used to! Because of Hush, he was just on live TV with what had to be the biggest story in Gotham City. How could she have missed it!?!

Not to mention that Helena knows that Oracle is Barbara Gordon and that Oracle dating Nightwing. Presumably, the fact that Barbara dated Dick Grayson and was even engaged to him at one point would be public knowledge.

I hope not. She's doesn't fit in, and I would honestly have her die if it was my choice.

In every one of her appearances I've never really felt she meshed well with the other members of the Bat-family. She always seems too angry, too violent. Her costume is ugly, belly-window or not. I just never liked her. It's cool if you do, but I feel she is a terrible character.

She fits in no worse than Damien, who also has had some fugly outfits.

She knows Bruce/Bats
She knows Babs/Oracle/original Batgirl
She knows Canary/Dinah
She knows Misfit
She knows Kate/Manhunter

unclear/or revealed off panel:

Cassie/Batgirl
Tim/Robin
Damien/Robin
Jason/Robin
Dick/Nightwing

I think the "outside" the bat family "on probation" is plot thread that has out lived its story purpose.

Are you saying she's met Bruce Wayne are that she knows Bruce is Bats, because it's been stated pretty clearly she's angry that they know all about her whereas she knows nothing about them

Seriously. Especially given she's a trusted member of BOP and was part of the operation against organized crime that Batman even praised.

I always get confused as to whether or not she knows about Bruce/Bats. I thought she did... maybe they are stilling playing the same story beat from 1992.

Except Damian is actually an interesting character. And I disagree, I like Damian's Robin Costume.

Didn't the latest issue of "Streets of Gotham" pretty much say she knew who everyone was now?

I hope not. Not every vigilante in Gotham City needs to be on a first name basis with the Bats.

I don't like Damian. <3 Huntress. I don't want H in Batfamily she's her own person, her own thing. I like that she's different. I like her. Huntress is good, and when written well (Gail Simone) is awesomer.

Well, she's already Batfamily:



The only question now is inner circle status.
