What makes the Question funny? Good question.

When the Huntress guest-starred to help Renee investigate a wide-ranging sex-trafficking operation Huntress suggested they bring in a third party to assist in the electronic tracking of their opponents. When the Question asks who they should bring in, Huntress explains that she knows somebody who can help. When the Question finally meets Oracle, whom she had worked with once or twice before but never really met, the revelation of her identity nearly knocks Renee off her feet.
