Dick Grayson will have an old friend from the DCU as he begins his new career as a super-spy — Helena Bertinelli will be his partner in the July-debuting Grayson series.
In Grayson, readers will also meet a new version of Helena Bertinelli, who was the superheroine Huntress in the pre-New 52 universe. King said he and Seeley have "put a pretty different spin on her" as she becomes Dick's partner in Spyral, training him as a spy.
Nrama: Is there a supporting cast around him of other spies? Or maybe a female character or two? I don't know if I'd go so far as to call Dick a player, but the man does usually have a lady in his life. Can you talk about who's going to be around him in Grayson?
Seeley: He does have a lady partner, but she's not the type of woman he's dealt with in the New 52 before. She does have ties to the old DC Universe, but we put a pretty different spin on her.
Nrama: Is there any way you can tell us the name of this female character?
Seeley: Helena Bertinelli.
Nrama: Oh!
Seeley: Oh! Yeah!
Nrama: But it's not Huntress. This is a different, New 52 take on the character.
King: This is the New 52 appearance of the new Helena Bertinelli.
Seeley: Yeah, it's not Helena Wayne, the Huntress. It's Helena Bertinelli.
Nrama: That's kind of cool, because Dick and Helena did have a relationship in the old universe. When you say she's a "partner," she also works for Spyral?
King: Yeah. She's an amazing spy. She's definitely better than Dick; he has to learn from her.
