Now ... who is Helena Bertinelli, you might ask?
The Huntress is a vigilante operating out of Gotham City, and a member of the Batman Family. She is also a devout Catholic, and is very in touch with her Italian heritage. Her career is inspired by a personal vendetta against organized crime, responsible for killing her entire family. At first, her ruthless methods and willingness to kill made her an outcast from the heroic community, but in time she learned to temper her methods and became accepted by her peers. She has also been a member of the Justice League and the Birds of Prey. [Source]
Why celebrate Helena Bertinelli?: Because she's a complex and fascinating figure. Because she encompasses nearly every Italian stereotype you can think of, while also managing to subvert them by being multilayered and three-dimensional. In addition to this, she's anti-ableism, loyal, selfless and stubborn. Did I also mention that she's great with kids and a snazzy dresser?when I last tried it.This page can’t be displayed
