JSA Appreciation 2021

Which also explains the costume by the way.

Well they’re using Beth in the Stargirl show that he’s producing. Probably wanted some synergy.

Also why Tommy lost his spot to Yolanda. Which, I wonder, is the source material?

No more legacy members for me just yet . . . Geoff Johns already went way too far overboard with that concept in the post-Infinite Crisis run.

Helena Wayne only works if you go back to placing that team on an Earth-2 (other than the New 52's version).

And much as I would prefer the JSA on a separate Earth, DC doesn't seem likely to go back to that idea.

Or they can bring back Helena Wayne as another survivor from the original Earth 2, just like PG and Psycho-pirate.

With Helena Wayne, that may be the only way for young mainstream Bruce to have a kid, but frankly, (Controversial DC Opinion ahead), what has being from Earth Two, (really Krypton Two), done for her? Nothing, it's never been a plot point in any story apart from Johns once have her weep a lot and then get tortured on a new Earth 2, it's never been used to make her unique apart from a one line "Oh, she's alternate, (implied as a lesser alternate) Supergirl". It never gave her unique powers, weaknesses, outlooks, a history that was used to inform her decisions. Why not simply make her a different relative of main Earth Clark than SG and give her a slightly different name. Or make her a time lost ancestor. Or literally anything along those lines. I mean, since DC doesn't ever seem to use that status for her to do anything.

But Power Girl and Pscho-Pirate were survivors of Crisis on Infinite Earths. It appeared that as of CoIE #12, Helena Wayne wasn't.

They made quite a few revisions to the original version, including earlier versions of some costumes.

Many, MANY characters didn't survive crisis and yet are alive and active now.

Yes, they are.

But to have the Helena Wayne version of Huntress back in existence, it would take quite a bit of juggling and explaining, something I doubt DC would bother doing.
Especially since Bertinelli would basically already fill her spot. At least Power Girl didn't have to compete with a Kara Zor-El version of Supergirl for many years after CoIE.

The Helena Wayne Huntress co-starred with Power Girl in Worlds' Finest for over two years She exists.

The Convergence event sent characters back in time to redo some of COIE. Original Helena gets saved and packaged with original PG. And I padded this storyline with filler.

Helena Wayne is the JSA's biggest tie into the Bat-family. DC may not actually care but "Batman's daughter" is something many of us suspect they'd consider finding a way to use.

Ahhhh my favorite DC series of all time. I re-read at least once a year.

Ahhhh my favorite DC series of all time. I re-read at least once a year.

Seriously. This series contained much of what I LOVED about the idea of the JSA as a decades long group/ Starman was not only a tale of great superheroism and a study of a world of heroes, but it was a tale of a family and how a son and father grow with each other. The Starman series took the idea that was covered in Infinity, Inc. and ran crazy with it,

I will never understand why DC seems to have insisted that Yolanda stay dead before Flashpoint

I mean, DC sometimes seems oddly insistent on certain characters staying dead in general from my perspective.
