15 Awesome Batman Characters We Still Haven’t Seen On Film

15. The Huntress

The Huntress admittedly wasn€™t borne into Batman continuity (her first appearance was as a straight villainess in Sensation Comics #68) but over the years of her continued existence, she€™s slowly become attached to the Dark Knight mythology as a vicious superheroine vigilante operating primarily in Gotham City. The most recent version of The Huntress is Helena Bertinelli (sort of; it€™s complicated) and you might have seen her crop up recently in her own shared line Birds of Prey as well as her eponymous 6-issue mini-series. Imagine if you will a sort of female Batman, except with a twist: she€™s not above killing her target. Despite Huntress being accepted as a heroin in the DC continuity since the mid- 80€™s Batman has always had one eye firmly on her, fearing that she€™s too unpredictable and violent (and that€™s coming from Batman so, you know€) With the future of the Batman movie property uncertain at this point, I€™d love to see someone dust Huntress off and insert her somewhere into the movie continuity; perhaps as a love interest to Bruce Wayne or even Dick Grayson if he€™s also to be included (in the comics she and Grayson have actually had a relationship, so this makes perfect sense to me).
