THE HUNTRESS/MATRON Helena Bertinelli Appreciation Thread 2021

[Artemisfanboy]

I think he replied "was she? I thought she's Italian" as in assuming she's white/light when someone asked isn't she supposed to be dark/tan/black.

People call it colorism. The tendency to default to light skin when the ethnicity is not clearly POC. As in when it's not black, indigenous, middle eastern, Indian, etc., the assumption is immediately they're light skin.

Then when they're established to be dark skin, someone lighten their skin up.

Examples of colorism is other countries are in South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Arab, Japan, or India where their beauty standard is picking light skin celebrity/model as the preferred/default, even though they have dark skin people. Even the ones that have majority of dark skin people in their country, their entertainment industry prefer light skin, coz they follow Hollywood or European fashion show.

Closest I saw was this. https://twitter.com/Sal_palz/status/1341080651437494274

God this is absolutely gorgeous Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes

But Mr. Mora, could you clarify which rendition of Huntress this is? The skin tone can suggest unsavory implications!

Im really not sure

Which sounds like more he was saying "I'm not sure what you're talking about" with out any definite answer.

I really hope we get a Huntress ongoing/mini out of this. She’s so overdue.

Looks like an older, middle aged Babs.

The highlights on her hair from 1037 makes it look like she has a streak of white in it, and I’m for it.

LOL! How come no one has a problem with Helena's white streak, but everyone gets bent-out-of-shape over Jason's white streak?

Helena's white streak is her belly window

. . . Huntress in Detective Comics #1034 watch over the front of City Hall (The district usually located in the south island of Gotham's three islands) during Mayor Nakano's fundraising event, while Bruce is inside with other rich people, still getting an invite by tradition despite no longer a billionaire

Did she have any other role in that issue other than the one-panel appearance?

Not in this issue, no, her backup starts in #1035
I was expecting her to beat up the thugs that broke in, since Bruce was there mingling, but no, it's just Batman. He slipped off as usual and came back as Batman. That's a weird use of her, I thought she's supposed to be covering for him.

I had been thinking about trying to pick up issue #1034 next time I go to the comic book shop specifically for Huntress, so that's sad to hear.

Mariko Tamaki and David Lapham Give Huntress Her First Super Power

Batman Secret Files: Huntress #1

On Tuesday July 27, Detective Comics and Eisner Award-winning writer Mariko Tamaki teams up with acclaimed Stray Bullets writer/artist David Lapham for a new tale featuring Gotham City’s Violet Vengeance! Huntress has been through a LOT lately...including her brain being invaded by a violent parasite bent on sending her on a deadly slugfest. If that wasn’t enough, now she has to deal with enhanced abilities too, thanks to a villain by the name of Vile. This parasite has given her the ability to see through the eyes of his victims and this is not her idea of a good time! Huntress isn’t one to be played with, and she’s on the hunt for Vile, with a crossbow bolt with his name on it!

Also weighing in at 40 pages, this one-shot features a main cover by Irvin Rodriguez (Future State: Robin Eternal), with a card stock variant by Riccardo Federici.
