Eleven Years Later

Eleven Years Later is the premiere episode of season one of Huntress.

Plot
The episode begins eleven years ago on a rooftop in Gotham. Standing on this rooftop is a very worried looking Catwoman. She's waiting for Batman and he soon arrives. She looks at him and asks if everything is in place for their daughter Helena. Batman assures her that everything will be okay and that Helena will be well taken care of. Catwoman sighs and says that she wishes things didn't have to go like this but Batman tells her that it's the only way to give Helena a good life away from crimefighting. Catwoman asks who will protect Gotham since they'll both be gone and Batman says that he already has people for that. Catwoman chuckles and says that he really plans for everything. The two hold each other and share one last kiss before Catwoman disappears into the shadows.

At Wayne Manor, a five year old Helena is watching out the window. A young blonde woman walks up to her and asks what's wrong. Helena says that she's waiting for her parents to return so that they can have some birthday cake. The blonde woman, named Daphne Pennyworth, looks down sadly for a moment. She tells Helena that the two of them can have birthday cake and this cheers Helena up a little. Down in the Batcave, Alfred and Luke Fox are preparing to shut the entire place down. Luke says that this is a crumby way to end things but Alfred kindly tells him that this was going to come to an end sooner or later. Luke sadly agrees and puts a special code into the Batcomputer that deactivates it. Alfred coughs for a moment, signifying to Luke that he's sick. Luke helps him out of the Batcave and shuts the door closed behind him.

Cut to the GCPD building where James Gordon is standing on the roof next to the Bat Signal. Batman is there with him and Gordon says "Ready when you are..." Batman silently nods to him and Gordon shuts down the Bat Signal permanently. The Batwing plane arrives and Batman jumps into it. Catwoman is waiting for him inside of it. James waves goodbye to him before the Batwing flies away from the city. Back at Wayne Manor, Alfred slowly tells Helena that her parents aren't coming back and she breaks down in tears, running to her room. The three adults downstairs all look at each other with sorrowful looks.

Time jump to eleven years later. A now older looking Luke drives around Gotham in a limousine. He gets a call from Barbara Gordon who asks if he's seen Helena. Luke says that he hasn't but that he has a good idea of where she is. He then drives to a small club.
