Seeking training on being a heroine from the Batman Family of Earth-One, since none of her own relatives over on Earth-Two knew of her dual identity, the Huntress first met silver age Batman and Robin (mentioned previously).
The Dark Knight then suggested that Helena Wayne seek out Batwoman and Batgirl for helpful hints. After initially encountering her mother's counterpart, the Catwoman, and stopping her latest crime... Huntress as Helena meets Kathy (Batwoman) Kane and Barbara (Batgirl) Gordon. After some girl talk at Kathy's circus grounds, they are aroused into activity by the presence of the trifecta of terror of Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Madame Zodiac. Each takes out her prey with only Zodiac escaping Batwoman's grasp (an interesting aside: the Madame's counterpart on Earth-Two, Astra, was captured after an initial crime spree by Starman... the same Starman who would later team-up with that world's Batwoman against Hugo Strange).
While Batgirl and Huntress wouldn't meet again until the tragic Crisis on Infinite Earths, their careers mirrored one another in several areas. Police commissioner father, budding romance with their Robin, a longterm friendship with Kara from Krypton, affiliation with the Justice League and Justice Society (though Babs never became a full fledged member), and earning the respect of their own Gotham City and fellow heroes as they stepped out of the shadows of Batman as true legends.
