JLU huntress with the question
JLU huntress with the question
Justice League Unlimited. Her and Question were adorable.
Two possibilities for this:
or
Though in 3rd place would go the pre-Flashpoint version of Helena Bertinelli.
JLU and Brave and the Bold for media adaptions.
Comics, I like Bertinelli pre-FP the most, then probably a tie between Rebirth Huntress/Helena Wayne Pre-Crisis.
I don't really care too much for New 52 Helena Wayne, the Rebirth incarnation is literally a text bubble and promo image, and New 52 Bertinelli was basically just a spy character (splitting her from Rebirth because this is frankly about Huntress, not Matron).
Definitely The JLU Huntress. Great design, great voice actress, faithful backstory, great dynamic with Question. You really can't go wrong with her.
Second place is Birds of Prey. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is perfectly cast and her backstory is once again translated very faithfully but she's not in the movie enough to really make an impact.
Brave and the Bold Huntress is fine I guess, but she doesn't have much in the way of character outside of being good at archery and having the hots for Batman.
I'm not familiar with the Birds of Prey Tv show but making her a metahuman is questionable to say the least.
Arrowverse Huntress is pretty Meh. Her design is okay and Jessica De Guow looks the part but her line delivery is super flat and she's also characterized as a flat-out villain rather than a rough vigilante (Comic Helena would never stoop to threatening innocent people) The decision to change her motivation to wanting to avenge her fiance was also pretty eye-rolling to me.
Helena Wayne rocks.
I've been itching for a real aesthetic HUNTRESS, DAUGHTER OF THE BAT book. Give her that crossbow and purple on purple get up and get the damn thing looking like a Nicolas Winding Refn movie. I'm there.

Huntress written by Greg Rucka or Gail Simone
I love both incarnations
"Everything doesn't have to be about fear. There's room in our line of work for hope, too"- Stephanie Brown, Batgirl Vol 3 #5
"Quit? Like hell I will"- Bette Kane, Beast Boy #3
Physically, Black Bertinelli, because I like the visual difference to White Wayne. Story-wise I can go with whatever.
This might be a coloring error but is she somehow white again?
Ugh. I give up. I'll just settle with Mediterannean tan then.
