===''The New 52''===
In September 2011, ''[[The New 52]]'' rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, Nocturna is re-introduced as an inmate of Arkham Asylum during the ''[[Night of the Owls]]'' storyline. Her true identity here is '''Natalie Mitternacht'''.<ref>''Detective Comics''
Nocturna goes on to be the primary antagonist of the ''[[Batwoman]]'' storylines "Webs" and "The Unknowns", in which she dates Kate Kane while secretly continuing her life of crime. She hypnotises Kate into believing that she is a [[vampire]], and that her bite has turned Kate into one as well. However, Kate is snapped out of it by her sister

Nocturna was scheduled to appear in an episode of ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' as a [[vampire]], but the episode was canceled after [[Fox Network|Fox]] censors objected to the storyline, which would have involved Batman being turned into a vampire and craving human blood. Producer [[Alan Burnett]] later recounted the events by saying "We also wanted to do a Nocturna story – [[Bruce Timm|Bruce]] had drawn a hot model of her - but she’s a vampire, which would’ve involved bloodletting, which was a huge no-no for kids TV".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/batman/btas/backstage/interviews/burnett.php |title=The World's Finest - Batman: The Animated Series |publisher=Worldsfinestonline.com |date= |accessdate=2010-12-30}}</ref>
When asked about Nocturna appearing in ''[[The New Batman Adventures]]'', producer and writer [[Paul Dini]] stated "We'd like to use her, but the network (WB Network) still says 'no' to vampires". Ultimately, Nocturna never appeared in the show.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/sections/backstage/unused/batman/nocturna.php|title=The World's Finest - Backstage - Unused Villains Database - Nocturna|website=www.worldsfinestonline.com}}</ref>
The Natalie Knight version of Nocturna appears in the ''[[Batwoman (TV series)|Batwoman]]'' episode "Drink Me," portrayed by [[Kayla Ewell]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ew.com/tv/2020/02/07/batwoman-nocturna-kayla-ewell-photo/ |title=Vampire Diaries favorite Kayla Ewell to play vampiric Batwoman villain Nocturna |last=Agard |first=Chancellor |date=February 7, 2020 |website=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |access-date=February 23, 2020}}</ref> This version has a unique form of [[porphyria]], which makes her photosensitive. When her adoptive father Charles died of a heart attack two weeks prior, Natalie had to obtain blood on her own, taking on a vampire-like persona, getting fang-like dental implants, and utilizing ketamine to stun her targets in order to do so. When Batwoman finds her latest victim, Nocturna stuns her and takes some of her blood before fleeing. Nocturna then targets [[Beth Kane|Alice]] and takes some of her blood, during which the latter reasons a specific blood type might be able to help with her condition. This led to Nocturna attacking Mary Hamilton-Kane. As Alice helps Batwoman by donating some of her blood to save Mary, Batwoman engages Nocturna and defeats her with her phone's UV light before leaving her for the Crows. [[Vesper Fairchild]] later reports on Nocturna, stating that she is en route to Arkham Asylum.
