In 2007, the CW TV show Smallville gave us an incredibly hot version of
Supergirl played by the gorgeous Laura Vandervoort.
This Supergirl had Helen Slater's naivety at first, but slowly developed
a personality that was sweet...but she knew she could punch you through
a wall if she had to.
They played around a LOT with her story, as they did with every
storyline on Smallville.
But they did work in a few things from the comics like her going to to
the 31st century to join the Legion and using glasses and a wig to hide
her secret identity.
In some of the odder things they did, she could fly and Clark couldn't
and she even kind of "became" Supergirl at one point before Clark became
Superman.
It was messed up yeah, but it was Smallville.
They really didn’t try to reign into the DC mythos until the last couple of seasons.
And it's no secret that I would have loved to see Laura Vandervoort get her own "Supergirl" spin-off show.
But that didn’t happen.

Jessica De Gouw as the Huntress from Arrow
Jessica De Gouw as the Helena Bertinelli version of the Huntress from the CW's "Arrow".
While not as Gothic as Ashley Scott as The Huntress in "Birds of Prey", this one is a bit closer to the comics.
As you can see she has her crossbow, and there is just a hint of purple on her outfit.
This Huntress is the Helena Bertinelli version of the Huntress.
That is the version that is NOT the daughter of Batman and Catwoman.
Her father is mob boss Frank Bertinelli and Huntress is out to kill him for ordering the death of her fiance.
She shows up in the episodes "Muse of Fire", "Vendetta", "The Huntress Returns" and the episode "Birds of Prey" where she has a run-in with, you guessed it, Black Canary.
This Huntress does wear a costume and carries a crossbow.
Although she is dressed in black, in a nod to her comic book incarnation, her jacket is trimmed/lined in purple.
Unlike other incarnations of Huntress, this one starts out as kind of an anti-hero then pretty much turns full-fledged bad guy.
Bad enough that at the end of “Birds of Prey” she is hauled off to jail.
So that wraps up Huntress.
I will mention though that in addition to her live action appearances, she also appeared in animated form in Justice League Unlimited (which was very well done) and in Batman: The Brave and the Bold (not as well done but fun nonetheless).

Ashley Scott as The Huntress
The Huntress played by the gorgeous Ashley Scott.
This Huntress was the daughter of Catwoman and Batman and was teamed up with Oracle and Black Canary's daughter in the WB's "Birds of Prey".
Forget the plot holes and liberties that they took with the source material. Ashley Scott could have just stood there in that black outfit with her long, leather overcoat billowing behind her for 45 minutes a week and I would have been happy.
Yes forget that she had superhuman strength and agility and her eyes went cat-like when she used her powers, things which had nothing to do with the comics. She just looked really good. Which was the problem with the show. They understood the look, but they lacked the substance. In the hands of other writers this show could have lasted as long as Smallville did easily. But it only lasted one 13 episode season.
