Lady Blackhawk by Brian Bolland

helena bertinelli keeps getting called batfam and i’m done being nice about it.

she will NEVER and i mean NEVER be batfam. she has stated this multiple times in the comics that she’d never want to be apart of it or considered to be apart of it.

if you want a huntress to be considered batfam so goddamn badly— HELENA WAYNE IS RIGHT THERE. she is THE DAUGHTER of BRUCE WAYNE. quite literally apart of batfam by blood!

“she dated dick grayson!” SO DID STARFIRE.

“she fought alongside batman as an ally!” SO DID SUPERMAN AND THE JUSTICE LEAGUE.

“she worked with oracle in birds of prey!” SO DID DINAH AND ZINDA.

“she idolized batman and wanted to be like him!” she didn’t become huntress because of batman and to be like him, she became huntress on her own terms with the help of her body guard, tony angelo.

these are extremely weak arguments that are commonly used in this community for helena bertinelli’s reasoning to being in batfam.

these bring down her character and water her down to be another guppy in batman’s entourage of vigilantes rather than giving her a proper identity.

you don’t see huntress as helena bertinelli, the devout catholic woman with deep catholic guilt and on-again, off-again morals. the SA survivor who still is tortured by the memories that affected her and strives to protect the innocent from such atrocities. the english teacher who loves to teach and would do anything and everything to protect her students.

you see her as another disposable and left to be forgotten “family” member of a nonexistent family and its absolutely disgusting.

A Lady Blackhawk drawing by the incomparable Brian Bolland for the 1886 San Diego Comic Con program cover, along with a message to DC.

Eventually Lady Blackhawk was brought back as part of Gail Simone's excellent run on Birds of Prey.

The new Lady Blackhawk is about as pulp as they come, evidently Action Comics 615
