I liked the Huntress' Earth-2 origin much better than making her an Earth-1 character named Helena Bertinelli. The Huntress should only be Batman and Catwoman's daughter of Earth-2! I wish they'd fix that!

What bugs me about those Bronze Age stories in the pictured TPB is that no scene like that ever happened! She really wasn't given a chance to interact with either of her parents much before both were dead.

I guess the theory was to give her a "motivating tragedy" akin to Batman's own, but I think there would've been a LOT more dramatic potential keeping them around.
