The Huntress (Helena Rosa Bertinelli) is an antiheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. She is the third DC character to bear the name Huntress. Originally introduced as a new interpretation of Helena Wayne, no longer depicted as the future daughter of Batman and Catwoman as part of DC's post-Crisis on Infinite Earths relaunch, she was later established to be the modern-day equivalent, namesake and predecessor of Helena Wayne.[2]
In other media, Huntress has appeared in the Arrowverse television series Arrow, played by Jessica De Gouw. In the DC Extended Universe, she is played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the film Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020).[3]
