The only Huntress stories I know are of the Bertinelli Huntress, I'm not familiar with the Wayne one at all. I liked her in 'No Man's Land' though.

Put me in for Bertinelli as well.
Hey, should this be a poll?

Bertinelli, definitely.
While she got stuck in a character loop for a decade (outsider, tries to win over Batman, fails, repeat), her entire No Man's Land arc was fantastic and her defending a hall full of people from an army of Jokers is one of the coolest, badass and heroic things I've ever seen in a Batman comic.

I should have done that, but I liked the pre-flashpoint Helena Bertinelli she was awesome in Birds of Prey plus I have to admit the New 52 World's Finest with Powergirl were great despite the two were originally Supergirl & Robin along with the fact I forgot lol
Bertinelli hands down, IMO.
Although, it isn't a fair comparison as Bertinelli has had a much longer in-print (we've witnessed in the pages of DC) career than Helena (regardless of incarnation).
Tim seelys Betinelli was a lot of fun
Gonna cast my vote for Bertinelli.
I got more used to Helena Wayne in N52.
And now it seems we'll have a new Helena Wayne version of Huntress to deal with, though this version is a future daughter of Bruce and Selina who comes from a future that no longer exists.[SIZE=1]
(If that doesn't make sense, just blame Geoff Johns.)[/SIZE]
What's Helena Bertinelli doing these days, and is DC going to have two Huntresses running around at the same time? :confused:

As opposed to having two Robins or more than 1 Batgirl?
She’ll be fine. And they both can co-exist.
Bertinelli, daughter of a mobster
I always liked the original Huntress. Actually the first two original Huntresses, because there was one on both Earth-Two and Earth-One and both seem to have had a relationship with the Sportsmaster. The Earth-Two Huntress got in a fight with the second Huntress. After Crisis, both original Huntresses were amalgamated into one and were forced to change their name to Tigress. But Tigress and Sportsmaster doesn't sound as good to me as Huntress and Sportsmaster--the hunting and sport angle makes it much clearer why Paula and Crusher are hanging out together.
By rights, it's Helena Wayne who ought to have changed her name to Tigress--given her mother was a cat lady. But then Helena was dead (or else living under a brick) after the Crisis so it was moot (or mute if she was under a brick, no one could hear her scream). And they actually gave the Huntress name to someone who had no pedigree at all. That seems the greatest injustice to Paula--every time someone calls her "Tigress," I imagine inside a little part of her dies. This also leaves out the plethora of other women that have held the Tigress title. It's an Oresteia of name murder.

So that way, Tigress could be her name before she became the criminal named Huntress.
