Again, in regards to the Huntress:
Originally (in the comic, she WAS Batman's daughter. This was Batman of Earth 2. When DC got rid of the various alternate Earths, that Huntress ceased to exist. However, DC didn't want to loose the copyright on the Huntress character and had to find a way to reintroduce her. They brought her back (on Earth 1) as a totally different person, but she had the same costume, name, etc.
Perhaps this was true somewhere in the DC lineup - but we're talking about Birds of Prey Nowhere in the BoP comic lineup was huntress related to Batman or Catwoman.

The show seems to be a mix of elements from Earth 1 and Earth 2. I sort of like it so far, but there are little things that bug me, such as the death of Catwoman, the death of Black Canary (last episode) and the exclusion of Robin and Nightwing.
Not to mention the fact that Batman just ran away...
I mentioned this earlier, but I suspect this was done for complexity and budget reasons. There's only so many minutes in an episode, and having that many more speaking parts around means more money out on actors salaries.
