10 Batman Sidekicks Everyone Forgets
5. The Spoiler
Easily mistaken for Huntress due to their similar purple costumes, Spoiler is a hugely important character who many newer comic fans may have totally missed out on.
The daughter of the supervillain Cluemaster, Stephanie Brown decided to become a superhero to offset the damage her father was causing in his villainous career. After helping Batman and Robin arrest her dad, Spoiler would begin a romance with the sidekick of the dynamic duo as the pair often teamed up to fight crime together.
For a while, it was thought that Spoiler had died after she was tortured by Black Mask and then denied medical treatment by Leslie Thompson - until it was later revealed that this was not the case, and that the doctor had instead helped Brown fake her own death while she recovered from her terrible injuries.
Steph would become Batgirl, although that role currently is possessed by Barbara Gordon once more, making Steph the Spoiler once again.
