Marvelous Maidens’ Memorable Meetup

When Helena Wayne began her costumed career as the Huntress, she soon came to the realization that she needed guidance from more experienced caped crusaders. Since her dual identity was kept a secret on her own world of Earth-Two, given the fragile health state of her father Bruce following the tragic death of his wife and her mother Selina, initially she drew some insight amongst her fellow members of the Justice Society. 

However, as she sought the respect of her contemporaries, among whom included some sceptics such as Green Lantern and possibly Hawkman, she decided to journey to Earth-One. There, she sought out her father's cosmic twin, who was still active as the Batman. However, he and his ward Dick "Robin" Grayson quickly came to the realization that Helena would benefit from meeting fellow superheroines instead.

Connecting Helena to the retired Batwoman, Kathy Kane, she was then introduced to Barbara "Batgirl" Gordon. Although having different parentage and appearances, both Barbara and Helena had several similarities marking them as true doppelgängers. Both were the daughters of Gotham City Police Commissioners, both were trained from young in martial arts, both had careers in the legal field. And both had cool calculating demeanors yet also, at times, fiery demeanors.

This was shown during their initial meeting, when Barbara seemingly mocked Helena from seeking out her advice. This was merely a cover to disguise her own feelings of inadequacy, perhaps comparing her own modest background with that of Batman's daughter. Nevertheless, after the three women teamed up to defeat Madame Zodiac, Poison Ivy, and the counterpart of Helena's mother, the Catwoman, the two legendary ladies parted as friends.

While Helena invited both her "Uncle" Bruce and her counterpart Barbara to visit her on Earth-Two as she departed from their universe, using the Justice League's transmatter tube connected to her team's own, only Batman journeyed there. 

Perhaps back on her own world, Helena reached out the the Kathy Kane of her Earth, who restarted her career while battling Hugo Strange alongside the Earth-One Batman and Earth-Two Robin. Of course, on that occasion, Helena was out-of-town visiting Karen “Power Girl” Starr’s cousin Clark “Superman” Kent and his wife Lois.

Batgirl and Huntress would next encounter each other, at least tangentially, during the Crisis on Infinite Earths… perhaps aboard the Monitor’s satellite. Interestingly on that occasion, an insecure Batgirl turned to her old friend Supergirl for encouragement, while the roles were reversed for their counterparts as it was a dejected Power Girl who was given motivating words by her best friend Huntress.
