One of my favorite DC Comics heroines hits Arrow on The CW this week! DC Comics Creative Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns will pen the episode titled Muse of Fire.
“I’m thrilled to be writing this episode of ARROW, and while I can’t give too much away, I think comic fans are going to like what we have in store for them – keep an eye out for the Huntress,” Johns tells The Source.
Jessica De Gouw will play Helena Bertinelli aka the Huntress. In the comics Bertinelli is the daughter of a murdered mafia boss out for revenge when her family is wiped out. Helena continues her crime fighting career as a member of the Birds of Prey and as a member of the Batman family.
Here’s the official character description from The CW:
“Helena is a potential love interest for Oliver Queen; a fellow vigilante, set on destroying her father’s organized crime empire. But Helena’s blind pursuit of revenge will put her on a collision course with the Arrow.”
Here’s what the actress told IGN about playing the heroine:
“It’s challenging for me because I play Helena and the Huntress and I have to be able to hold my own regarding the duality of the role,” De Gouw continued. “And I have to be able to kick butt and all of that. And I’m quite feminine in my normal every day life, so the fighting and all of that is new and interesting for me. But it’s good. I’m really enjoying it. I’ve really been thrust into it so you might as well just jump in, right?”
I’m thrilled to see Huntress on television and hope she may appear in a Batman movie some day.

David Anders will play a brand new villain on The CW’s Arrow according to Zap2It. Anders will play Cyrus Vanch – a career criminal released from prison who returns to his evil ways in Starling City.
You may have seen Anders on Once Upon a Time and The Vampire Diaries but I will always love him from the J.J. Abrams spy drama Alias. Anders played the sinister and smarmy Julian Sark. I was among a group of Alias addicts who got to meet the charming actor while promoting a charity event.
Anders is the latest actor from the sci-fi/fantasy genre to join the series. Ben Browder, John Barrowman, Tahmoh Penikett and Seth Gabel will be guest starring on the series. This week the DC vigilante Huntress (played by Jessica De Gouw) comes to Starling City.

The new series based on Green Arrow must be on target! The CW has given a full season order to Arrow. Stephen Amell (Hung) stars at Oliver Queen and Katie Cassidy played Dinah Laurel Lance. My favorite cast member so far is Colin Donnell. He steals the show every week at Tommy Merlyn and I’m looking forward to the upcoming clash between Ollie and Tommy.
DC Comics fans are finding plenty of the publisher’s top villains on the series. Kelly Hu played China White in episode two. Deadshot is the guest villain in this week’s episode. Deathstroke will strike in episode five.
The Huntress will appear in a multi-episode arc as a love interest for Oliver Queen. John Barrowman (Torchwood) will guest star in upcoming episodes. No word on who he will play yet.
Have you seen Arrow yet? What do you think? Which DC Comics character do you want to see on the show?

World’s Finest stars Power Girl and the Huntress from Earth 2. They duo are trapped in our world and the DC Comics New 52 Second Wave series follows their quest to return home.
The Source revealed the George Perez cover today and you’ll notice Power Girl is covered up! The blonde heroine is known for her costume sporting a big o in her chest displaying her cleavage and the suit is a one piece bathing suit with bare legs but covered up arms. Helena’s Huntress costume looks the same.
Guess this new Power Girl is a little more reserved compared to her pre-New 52 version.
Batman’s world is filled with dangerous, resourceful women including Catwoman, Batwoman, Batgirl, Talia Al Ghul but one avenging angel I love is getting front burner status.
The Huntress is currently starring in her own mini-series seeking justice and stalking a mobster in Italy. Helena is the daughter of a murdered mob boss who vows revenge.
DC Comics The Source shares stunning new images from Huntress #5 in which Helena will assault an ancient monastery guarded by the Italian military.” This is the penultimate issue of her adventure but a new Huntress’ story is just beginning.
The Huntress and Power Girl of Earth 2 will star in a new World’s Finest – part of DC Comics The New 52 Second Wave. On Earth 2 Helena is Batman and Catwoman’s daughter. Paul Levitz, George Perez and Kevin Maguire will chronicle the duo’s mission to return home.
The Huntress has one of my favorite costumes in comics and with a compelling back story making her a great anti-heroine.
