Hi, I loved Catwoman: Hunted and wanted to ask a little about what separates it from YJ/Earth-16. You've said it's cannon adjascent, like the Green Arrow short.

There are more obvious disconnects between YJ and GA, most notably at the end of the short Vertigo reveals himself and is captured, which conflicts with him having diplomatic immunity in Coldhearted. The differences in CH, at least based on what we know of Earth-16 so far, are more minor and seem like they could be easily explained.

Similarly, while GA has a more similar visual style to YJ than the anime CH, the designs from CH feel much closer to YJ than GA does. To me CH's Batwoman and Cheshire look very much like YJ's Batwoman and Cheshire drawn by a different artist, but GA's Green Arrow and Vertigo look like a very different Arrow and Vertigo drawn by the same artist as YJ's Arrow. So to me CH actually fits with YJ better.

Heck, CH even has a 16 gag - the assassin Catwoman and Batwoman compete over on the Eiffel tower would be #16 for either of them.

So that leads me to ask:

1) Are there specific things that set CH apart from YJ/Earth-16? If so, what are they?
2) Do you have an Earth-16 version of events in mind?
3) When does the Earth-16 version of CH take place?
4) Would an Earth-16 version add significant YJ characters, like you said the YJ version of the GA short would involve Artemis and Red Arrow?

1. Unfortunately, I can't remember any off the top of my head. I wanted to make Cw:H as close to Earth-16 as possible, but I couldn't get too orthodox about it. So there are probably a few things here or there that might not quite sqaure.

2. It's basically the same set of events.

3. I haven't placed it on the timeline... and maybe that's where it goes a tad south. It might have a few timeline problems fitting in. But nothing that I couldn't figure out. I basically figured out how to fit in the Green Arrow short in Young Justice: Targets.

4. Ultimately, the YJ version of the GA short (in Targets) did involve Red Arrow in a kind of prequel story, and Artemis in a kind of sequel story - but the basic airport story of the short didn't require either. I'd try to make due with the many, many characters already in Cw:H, I imagine.
