Birds Of Prey

[Nightwing92]

Does anyone remember that show that aired on WB like about 5 or 6 years ago called Birds Of Prey which took place in New Gotham and the main characters are Black Canary, Oracle, Batgirl, and the huntress.... but batman isnt on the show because he went to exile after catwoman died....anyways why did it cancel? who made it cancel? the comic book fans? the critics? the batman fans?

Actually the show aired only about four years ago during Smallville's second season. It was cancelled because the ratings weren't high enough, resulting in it's cancellation after 13(?) episodes. The show had a good premise in my opinion, and if it had been allowed to continue to the end of the first season and on it may have become a solid show, but it took too long for the studio's to become something great.

i remember that show. Yeah it didn't last long, it had that starship troops chick as Batgirl, only it was batgirl in a wheelchair.

the show was bad. it seemed that every one had superpowers, like hutertress, but some how she was only half meta but her mom and dad were both human.

I liked it b/c Shemar Moore was on it. Rrrow!

Actually HR-PUFF&STUFF, according to the the show this version of Catwoman was actually a metahuman.

ok heres a queston if you could rework the show how would you have done it?

At the time this show came to the WB I was really wishing that a pilot had been made for the Bruce Wayne show, the Batman-Smallville show that didn't get too far. Personally I would have rather had that, probably would have done better too. Oh well...

No batman/catwoman love child...

You make it sound so outlandish.

All it was was Huntress' Earth-1 origin.

Earth 2 not 1.

i would have set the show in Blüdhaven and it would have been Black Canary, Huntress (Helena Bertinelli) and Oracle (Barbara Gordon).

Others that would show up in the show from time to time, Harvey Bullock, Zatanna, Renee Montoya, James Gordon, Lady Shiva, Cassandra Cain, Catwoman, Blockbuster, Nightwing (Dick Grayson).

here is a question could a second season that was reworked have saved the show?
