| Huntress #1 (2011) |
DC Comics' mini-series Flashpoint has apparently undone Crisis on Infinite Earths. Along with a lot of other 1980s revivals in the New 52, DC has announced that they're bringing back Earth Two, along with a new Justice Society of America monthly series set on this alternate Earth. They've also hinted that there's a connection between this new JSA series, the new Huntress mini-series, the Mister Terrific ongoing series, and the latest Birds of Prey series. Does this mean that the all of these series are currently taking place on Earth Two and we just don't know it? It's quite possible. Have there been any crossovers with these series and other series in the New 52? Not that I've seen.

While some (or most) may scoff at this idea, I'm kind of digging it. Why? With Earth Two, it opens the door for reviving Infinity Inc. and the Young All-Stars (two of my favorite 1980s series). It would also allow DC to compete with Marvel's successful "Ultimate" universe and its myriad of titles.
The downside to an Earth Two Huntress? I guess that would mean that the romance between Huntress and Catman would never happen. But she would (hopefully) be the daughter of Batman and Catwoman again, and that would be pretty cool.

But the biggest mystery for me is...what's the connection with Birds of Prey? Does that mean that the current Birds of Prey series doesn't take place on Earth One or New Earth or whatever it's called now?
As for the new Huntress #1, it was just okay. I've always liked Huntress as a character, but have never felt that anyone's ever done anything spectacular story-wise with her. She's always felt like more of a supporting/team player than a headliner. So maybe there's a place for her (again) in a new Infinity, Inc.

Hate to drop this on you, but she is the Mafia daughter and not the Bat + Cat child.
It does at least seem to be that Helena in terms of how she has been portrayed in Issue #1.
mmm Bird Of Prey has already some connections with current Snyder's Court of Owls storyline in Batman, I haven't see Terrific interacting with other characters but Q-Core is mentioned (Green Arrow's company) and Helena is portrayed as Bertinelli in the miniseries, plus when she arrives to Italy she says "I'm back home" so that confirms that she has connections with Italy and the Mafia.
But since Mr T. is playing in the nine dimension and stuff like that he can accidentally fall in earth two in some way.
I think that the Bird of Prey is mentioned because Huntres will end in that team.
