The ongoing Huntress mini issues have been GREAT!!! I would much rather have her stay as The Huntress!!!

Well this isn't a surprise, if you look at the cover of Worlds Finest #1, you can see behind The Huntress that she is was Robin for a time

@wildaniel: she is staying as Huntress, there just showing the design for flashbacks when she "WAS" robin, not that she is going to be again.....

Haha. It's kinda cool. Should really have more than a domino mask, though. I always thought that was a pathetic excuse for a disguise. I really like the Arkham City design with the hood - that was a cool way to go about it. At least it's not rampantly sexist, and no bare legs on a crimefighter... so definitely good enough XD

I haven't read Huntress, but wasn't the point of the DC reboot to get rid of all the muck that having a bunch of alternate universes creates? I'm kinda shocked that their bringing in Earth 2 story lines so quickly. I thought we'd spend a solid year at least just within this universe getting it established. Goddamnit.

I actually agree with Nomis (for once:), I thought she was by far the best Robin.

A girl Robin has certainly been done before. The Huntress as Robin could be an interesting twist, but that costume is freaking stupid looking. Big "R" kneepads? Layered leggings or whatever those things are called? Nikes for footwear? The '90s called and they want this look back.

That actually looks pretty cool. I like it.

If she is supposed to be the daughter of batman, i wonder how old he is on that earth, whoever he is (exept if my adoptive daughter theory is right)

So, is Dick Nightwing in this Earth 2? He was still Robin in the last one. Why have Helena Wayne in this book when she will be in Worlds Finest? Are they not going to have continuity?
If they have Helena Wayne running around Earth 1, they better still have Helena Bertalini and not just write her off.

The drawing is not bad. I like that DC is making more female Robins. Also, a brunette, female Robin.

When the name Robin comes up in a DC comics context, Carrie Kelly and Stephanie Brown are the only names that come to mind. In fact, Stephanie Brown should have been THE DLC Robin for Arkham City (IMHO).

@teabag- LMAO

@Nomis- The Stages of Nomism are awesome. lol

As far as I can see, Helena is going to remain the Huntress. She started her career as Robin, sidekick to Batman. It makes me curious about the fate of Dick Grayson, but I suppose we'll find out what happened to him. Anyway, it says Helena became the Huntress AFTER leaving Earth-2. I see no reason she would ever go back to being Robin.

I've always liked the female robin. Just makes sense because no self respecting teenage male would want the code name robin. "Uh, batman, can uh, I go by Phoenix Dark or something instead of Robin? Anything but Robin"

Yes, when they decided to start with the new DC52 universe they said it would simplify things and events. They never said that they would do away with the multiverse and parallel earths. This way some otger heroes such as the JSA and others would be on their own timelines.

Lose the cape. Otherwise, this design looks pretty good.

The costume doesn't look too bad. I'm sure it will get some tweaks here and there.

Also, Earth-1 Robin's counterpart in England is a girl. Unless, they did away with Knight and Squire in the new 52 reboot.

@SuperArgo Oh shoot, Kate Upton has some moves. :)

robin would work better as a female sidekick,when i think of tough male characters that are named after birds they end up being birds of prey not a robin.

think the v shape pattern flattens the torso and and boots look silly. but other than that it is fine
