BOP #68: A canary or a "mock"ing bird? or The Sexual History of Helena Bertinelli
The first page of Cry For Justice #2 has caused some controversy on this board and elsewhere. But it's not like that kind of "behavior" is unheard of in Huntress' history.

First, Babs and the girls talk about Savant, who kidnapped Black Canary and chained her to a ~~fridge~~ bed.

Uh-oh. Anyone know the exact issues?

This was revealed in OUTSIDERS #12, but not the circumstances. Nightwing must have told Oracle. Because that's not weird at all.

Ah, so Roy is "quick to let fly." No wonder Cheshire got pregnant!

Well, give she's now about Roy's age due to that Lazarus Pit dip, it's less "mother and son" these days.

How does that date go?

Sheesh, I thought they only kept the masks on in ULTIMATE or ALL-STAR stories. Supposedly Gail Simone wrote this so Helene could find realize she deserved better in the romance department. Is a threesome with Hal Jordan and Lady Blackhawk really better? Well, I doubt they'd keep their masks on.

Sorry, I'm just catching up with this thread now.

I supposed this may be something we'll have to agree to disagree on, but even considering your points here, I still feel uncomfortable with the implications made by such an assessment.

But at the time, whenever she'd go off on that tangent, Batman was rarely shown to reply in any meaningful way. It's one of the reasons it took a long time for me to like the character.

Well, perhaps there is room for a bit of the pseudo father/daughter relationship that is sometimes implied between them to explain that: Huntress rants about how Batman doesn't know what he's doing and that she knows better than him, etc, which does come off a bit as a rebellious teenager kind of thing (albeit with subject matter not usually common to parents and teenagers). IDK, I really haven't read enough of the earlier interactions between the two characters to have that firm a grasp of Batman's reactions to her. I just have the impression that he was usually pretty down on her and her methods.
