What Happened To Everyone Who Joined The Batman Family?

9. Helena Bertinelli - Huntress

Huntress DC
DC Comics

Introduced in 1989, Helena was the daughter of a mob boss who was kidnapped by a rival crime family at a young age. When she was 19, her family was killed by another mob family, pushing Helena into vigilantism, dedicated to wiping out organized crime.

With the money left to her, and her training in martial arts and acrobatics, Helena made her way to Gotham. Unlike the Bat Family, Helena had no problem killing criminals, a tactic that brought her into conflict with Batman. Although he did not condone her methods, he tolerated her operating in Gotham, and she occasionally teamed up with Robin and Nightwing.

Helena eventually became more accepted by the Family, and in turn started to use less lethal methods while in costume.
