10 Things DC Comics Wants You To Forget About Catwoman
3. She Had A Daughter
In the alternate timeline known as Earth-2, Catwoman and Batman married and had a daughter named Helena, who grew up to be the hero Huntress.
DC would later adapt this idea into their main continuity. Following 'Infinite Crisis', the DC Universe jumped ahead a year to find some of its heroes living very different lives. One of the biggest changes was that Selina Kyle had retired as Catwoman after giving birth to a daughter, who she called Helena.
The mystery of who Helena's father was stretched out over the course of the Catwoman series, with plenty of clues being dropped that it was Batman. However, in a twist not even Jeremy Kyle saw coming, Helena's father was actually a man named Sam Bradley, Jr, the son of one of Catwoman's allies Detective Slam Bradley.
Selina later returned to being Catwoman to save her friend Holly Robinson. This ultimately led to her giving up her daughter after the movie inspired serial killer Film Freak kidnapped her. Catwoman was able to save Helena, but the ordeal made her realise that her life as Catwoman would always put her daughter in danger so she gave her up for adoption.
Neither Helena nor Sam Bradley, Jr have been mentioned since in the New 52 and they're both unlikely to show up again.
