Okay, so has Helena ever joined a team without being manipulated into it? And it's hard to believe this is from '99, the art makes it look older (is it Giffen? it's a lot better than most of the stuff i've seen of his, but all of that was ten years older). What's the issue number?
Also, I think the "Batman's Batman" line was richardak, who tried to start the Huntress Is Awesome week back in June. Haven't seen him in a while.
