Synopsis for Green Arrow: "The Origin of Green Arrow "

A gunman who was formerly employed by John Deleon, to whom Oliver Queen lost his fortune, holds a woman hostage at gunpoint aboard the deck of a ship. Green Arrow opposes him, seeking the briefcase full of evidence of Deleon's wrongdoings the gunman carries, but the terrorist insists on Green Arrow leaping overboard in return for his releasing the woman. Green Arrow remembers his origin story, how Oliver Queen once fell off another ship, swam to Starfish Island, learned the use of a makeshift bow, and used it to help defeat a band of pirates who landed on his isle. Green Arrow then manages to take out the gunman, though the briefcase is lost in the sea. He decides that the papers within it don't have much meaning to him anymore.

Synopsis for The Huntress: "From Each Ending... A Beginning!"

On Earth-Two, Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle married back in the 50’s, and the two had a daughter, Helena. After the birth of his daughter the Batman of Earth-Two retired, and Robin took up his mantle. Many years have passed and Helena has grown up to be a beautiful and strong woman, with both her parents seemingly having escaped their past. One day an old henchman of the Catwoman blackmails Selina with a photograph that shows her killing a police officer. She is forced to dress up as Catwoman and help the crook do a robbery, but Commissioner Gordon gets wise of the crime and lights the Bat signal. Only Bruce sees the signal, as Robin is out of the country and decides to deal with it himself. Batman quickly arrives at the scene, but dismays when he sees Selina there, in the ensuing fight the crook’s stray bullet kills Selina, with her last words an apology, meanwhile the Batman can just stand there. During the funeral, Helena swears vengeance on the criminals who caused her mother’s demise and fashions a costume for herself together with a collapsible crossbow. She tracks down the killer and learns that it was a doctored photo all along. He leaves him trussed up before the police headquarters, with Bruce wondering why Robin hasn’t announced that he was back in town…
