Prior to her incarceration, Natalia Mitternacht collected a string of dead husbands. She was in Arkham Asylum for murdering her husband when it was brought under attack by the Court of Owls, who were aiming to assassinate Doctor Jeremiah Arkham. Surviving the Night of the Owls, Nocturna remained in Arkham Asylum until released by Wolf Spider during a fight with Batwoman. Though she was given ample opportunity to escape the city, she stayed, and was acquitted for the crime that had resulted in her incarceration.

When Nocturna aimed to steal a chalice from an exhibition on Lady Báthory, she was met with opposition from Batwoman more directly. In the ensuing fight, Nocturna was hit with a batarang in her eye, but managed to escape with the chalice with the help of her lover, Anton Knight.

Some time later, recovered, Natalia was at a dinner when the assassin "Killshot" attempted to shoot her, accidentally killing Barry Daniels instead, and subsequently infiltrated by Batwoman and Anton Knight, the latter in the guise of "Night-Thief".

In the ensuing fight, Batwoman attacked Killshot first, allowing Night-Thief to attempt to usher Nocturna away. However, Nocturna, found the fluidity of Batwoman's fighting style very alluring, and lingered. By the end of the fight, Night-Thief lept in the line of fire of a shot aimed by Killshot, falling over the edge of the roof they were all on. While Nocturna grabbed him, she was yanked over the side as well, and both plummeted into the harbor.

The following night, Nocturna spotted Kate Kane on the front page of the Gotham Magazine, and immediately recognized her as Batwoman. Meanwhile, Kate prepared for bed in the home she was in alone for her fiancé Maggie Sawyer's sake. Lying there, she sensed someone else's presence, and imagined that it might be Maggie. However, it was Nocturna, and she manipulated Kate into letting her bite her neck.
