Regrettably, the Batmen of Earths One and Two never met, nor had their true loves...the Catwomen. This hypothetic rendition (found at an excellent resource that considers possible team-ups with the Darknight Detective) is the closest we come to such an event having transpired. Several factors came into play for why these two pairs of lovebirds never had occasion to meet-and-greet, first and foremost that Earth-Two's versions were long since retired by the time Earth-One's versions began their own careers. And given that the golden age Batman was only an honorary member of the Justice Society, he was rarely privy to the annual meetings with the Justice League for which his doppleganger was an active participant in their cases. In addition, having become preoccupied not only with marriage but also raising a daughter, Helena, the older couple would consider revisiting their own past emnity as superhero and femme fatale a bitter reminder of less loving days. However, it would be Helena who would bridge the gap, learning life lessons from parents Bruce and Selina Wayne in her civilian identity, while gaining tips in her costumed alter ego the Huntress in what to do... and what not to do... from her annual visits with her "Uncle" Bruce and her clash versus evil "Aunt" Selina Kyle of Earth-One.
