Learn the stories of Harley Quinn, Canary, Huntress and the rest of the crew of BirdsOfPrey

, and only showed up in comics a year later, inNo. 12; even then, she didn’t debut in mainstream DC comic continuity until 1999’sThe comic book backstory of Harley is consistent with the big screen version: She’s a former psychiatrist whose attempts to treat the Joker led to her falling in love with him, and then being transformed from Harleen Quinzel to Harley Quinn via chemical means. Where things go after that is where stories start to change.

As part of the 1983 retcon, it was revealed that Dinah Drake — now Dinah Lance, having married Larry Lance, the detective of her dreams, who’d been tragically killed in the line of duty —actually travelled between worlds, or gained powers; both of those things had happened to her previously unknown daughter,called Dinah Lance, who… believed herself to be her mother for reasons that don’t really make sense or need to be dwelled on.

There have been multiple heroes called Huntress in DC’s comic book mythology — and even different variations of the same version of character, because comics — making it impressively difficult to summarize in anything resembling coherency. That said, the Huntresses that we need to concentrate on are the second and third women to bear the name, starting with Helena Wayne.

After DC rebooted its mythology in 2011, Montoya was returned to the Gotham City Police Department, and seemingly without her costumed alter ego — although she is now in a relationship with Kate Kane, AKA Batwoman. Last year, however,No. 1 revealed that Montoya is still active as the Question, and working secretly as an operative for the iconic Daily Planet reporter to help her uncover corruption. Think of it as an unlikely, but entirely awesome, team-up.
