Huntress is on Arrow Tonight; New Interview with De Gouw
For those readers who mourned the unceremonious passing of Helena Bertinelli in the new 52, there is some joy. Tonight on the CW, Jessica De Gouw joins Arrow for two episodes as Huntress. While like everything in the DC TVverse vs. comicverse there have been some changes, a new interview with the actress shows she is aware of and researched the comic character (as well I suspect the version of Huntress from CW’s Birds of Prey)
I went back to the comics,” she said. “I think the comics are the best place to start. That’s where it originated. That’s what the fans want to see. That’s what I wanted to go for. I don’t think it helps to impersonate someone else who’s already done it perhaps. Because this isn’t like anything else. It looks different and it feels different. And it’s a different tone.”
She adds that the character enters with a punch and is “a force”:
She’s a force. She’s a force of nature. And not only the Huntress but Helena is pretty sassy in her own right.”
The episode “Muse of Fire” debuts tonight.
Another Look at Huntress in Arrow
Helena Bertinelli will be appearing on the next episode of Arrow (11.28) and here is a full look at the belly window free costume actress Jessica DeGouw will sport.

First look at Arrow’s Huntress
Despite being retconned out of DC Comics, Helena Bertinelli is still around in the world of the TV show Arrow. She’s make her debut in the sixth episode of the series (November 28) and will be played by Australian actress Jessica DeGouw. According to the verbiage with the picture she’s on for two episodes.
Although I won’t be sure until we see the full costume it does appear that belly window did not make a transition to the small screen and they went with generic leather and mask look. I’m okay with that.

Arrow’s Deadshot and Huntress Using Classic Elements of Comics Costumes?
The CW’s Arrow is going the Smallville “no tights” route for his costume for Arrow and sporting a version the hooded costume from Mike Grell’s run as seen in this picture released yesterday where he squares off against Kelly Hu’s China White
And other characters seem to be using some of the classic elements of the comic characters’ costumes. The first trailer for Arrow showed the classic Deathstroke bi-color mask rather than the military costume used in Smallville.
And this week interviews with the show’s cast gave some hints on the costumes that Deadshot and Huntress may be wearing on the show.
For every window that closes, a new one opens
Those of you who bemoan the loss of the iconic boob window of the pre-52 Power Girl were thrown a tiny (well not exactly tiny - this IS Power Girl) bone this week. Apparently with all the money she’s spending on research Karen Starr is still unable to find a uniform that doesn’t self destruct in battle (and in apparently, as in this case, only in certain places). As a result in this week’s issue we see this
As far as the rest of the issue I’ve decided that while I like the relationship between Kara and Helena (however you choose to read it) and Kevin Maguire’s take on the two in the early years, it is working against some boring villains and some just not quite right art by Perez.
Still this issue did have a couple of things (beyond a salute to the boob window) that were fun. Let’s take a look.
Preview of Worlds’ Finest # 4
I love George Perez’s work on so many comics but this isn’t working for me. I really wish Jesus Saiz or Marcos To were on the book.
Anyway onto the Rizzoli and Isles of superhero comics where sub and text blend as easy as a summer day and a gin and tonic.

Preview of Worlds’ Finest #3 and a little about what’s ahead for Karen and Helena
USA Today has an interview with the Paul Levitz of Worlds Finest about the book and what readers can expect coming up:
The new issues also feature an aspect that fans are really enjoying: the relationship between Huntress and Power Girl.
As they deal with assorted dilemmas, Levitz is slowly revealing more about the women’s backstories — in issue 3, Maguire’s stuck in “a lovely moment of fan service” for dedicated longtime readers, and a zero issue drawn entirely by Maguire in September flashes back to when the two first met as Robin and Supergirl.
Levitz also teases to the fifth issue, a “light one-off” featuring Power Girl at the CERNparticle accelerator in Switzerland and Huntress in Boston Common at a “Take Back the Night” event. “They’re seeing different ways to deal with their displaced status.”
They will also have Helena reacting to the fact there is a Robin on this Earth. I can’t wait for that. I will jump for joy if she refers to him as a “boy Robin”
Here’s the preview
