    Default New Earth: Was Bruce or Sam Bradley Helena's father

    All right, so if you've seen my posts on here before, you know I'm obsessed with understanding and delineating Earth One continuity (and couldn't really give a crap less about anything post-2011).

    So I was just doing some research and, according to Wikipedia, even though Sam Bradley is revealed as Helena's father (which I had to search around to find out is revealed in Catwoman #61), the site states, and I quote: "although it is still strongly hinted that Bruce Wayne may be the father."

    Of course, they don't give any citations for that. And that's what I love! Citations! Issue numbers!

    So is this really hinted at, or is Wiki just playing games with my heart?

    If I remember right it was implied that around same time Selina slept with Bruce as well. So who knows who the father is

    Don't believe [can't recall atleast] it was implied in the actual text of any comics. We [fans] just assumed since there were panels that had Robin baby sitting and Baby helena in her carseat in the Batmobile.

    The best thing you can do is read the comics, there's under 30 of them post OYL IRRC. That'll give you your answer (or lack thereof).
    "Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"

    "I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"

    "*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."

    Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!

    When would Bruce have gotten with Selena during the gap year (weekly 52 series) if he was traveling the world with Dick and Tim at the time? How could Bruce be the father if he was no where near Selena during any amount of time that Helena would have been conceived?
