Birds of Prey

[The Batman]

Would anyone else like to see a movie featuring the BoP?

 

[Webhead2006]

could work. Though would have to have the right story/director on board.

 

[Silvermoth]

I would be in for a Birds of Prey movie, sure! Just as long as it isn't all fan service.

Just throwing some names out there, maybe Kristen Stewert as Huntress, Alyson Hannigan as Barbara and Becki Newton as Black Canary

It is a shame that the TV-Series was such a failure, I think Birds of Prey could work really well as a TV-series. Really a shame that the series missed the mark so badly.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

Of course I'd like a BoP movie. As long as Gail Simone writes or co-writes the script.

Also, throwing in a few names:

Eliza Dushku as Huntress/Helena Bertinelli
Yvonne Strahovski as Black Canary/Dinah Lance
Rachel Nichols as Oracle/Barbara Gordon

Perfect casting. I was literally about to say those exact people! Also,that is one hot group!

Thanks! BTW, Zach Levi is better off as Wally than Barry.

A) I chose Eliza because her character on Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Faith, remind me a little of Helena

B) I chose Yvonne because she looks, acts and fights like Dinah on Chuck.

C) I chose Rachel because in that one scene in G.I. Joe reminded me of how Oracle would help out her super-friends.

yea the show was ok at best but they could have done so much more with it.

same here, that show had so much potential. I liked it at first, but it started going down hill.

 

[TheWatcher]

About the Levi-Wally thing. He's too old for Wally. Plus Barry is somewhat of a nerd. Levi has that down!

 

[Jordacar]

That show suffered from a crippling lack of vision.

 

[TruerToTheCore]

And who's Hawk and Dove?

 

[Metamorpho1977]

SHame the Coreys are half dead and totally out of shape.

How about Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Call it Good Hawk Hunting.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny.

 

[Man of Steel]

Black Canary-Yvonne Strahovski
Oracle-Bryce Dallas Howard
Huntress-Eliza Dushku
Power Girl-Elisha Cuthbert

and villains

reason Smallville is going into it's 10th season is because the show isn't afraid to use Superman's rogue gallery as well as guest appearances from other hero's.

I'm not sure because I haven't read a single BOP comic in my life, why were Batman's rogue's not used? Just because Batman took a hiatus doesn't mean every last one of his villains had to (minus the Clayface appearance, in which he didn't even do anything, morph, nothing, just played Silence of the Lambs).

This is a solid cast IMO. Dushku is a good choice for Helena.

And I think a BOP film could work if handled correctly.

Well yeah, they do that now, but there wasn't a whole lot of that in Smallville's first season.

 

[Webhead2006]

well they were prevented from using alot of stuff in the earlier seasons of the show.

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

^exactly, if Smallville was still using Meteor Freaks as their villains, there's not a chance in hell it would still be on the air

Something occurred to me recently about the TV show. For those who missed it or forgot, the show starts out with Oracle and Huntress (Helena Wayne in this version) doing the crime fighting thing, and the come across teenage blondie Dinah, who in this version has psychic powers for some reason.

Anyway, looking at the comics, I realized that for the show, the roles of Helena and Dinah should've been reversed. It should've been Oracle and Black Canary as the veterans, and they come across Bruce & Selina's teenage daughter Helena who learns the truth about her folks and wants to follow in their footsteps. I think that would've fit much better.

The tv show had a lot of potential, just when you introduce huntress being the daughter of batman and catwoman and have batman in hiding, you spend most of the time hoping batman makes an appearance. Normally I'm not one to say they have to follow the comics exactly, but in this instance it would have been better if they distanced themselves a bit more from batman so they could have been there own entity.

It handicapped the story in a weird way. All this talk about the past, about cooler heroes and villains of yesteryear make us wonder if we'd rather be watching that show instead of this one.[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

Hey dude, I never watched this movie. Can someone tell me how can i watch it Online for free?

It's not a movie, it was a TV show. You can watch it at TheWB's official site.

If they DO make a movie out of the "Birds Of Prey" I hope that they keep the characters closer to the comic originals than the television series seemed to !

In the TV show, the teenage "Dinah" character was actually the daughter of Black Canary. The "real" Black Canary did show up later in the show and had her powers from the comics. Not saying that made the show any less crap, just FYI.

It was pretty bad that the show was poorly recieved that just the announcement of a DVD release for it was used as an april fools' joke in Wizard Magazine. It is available on DVD now, but back when it was still fresh on people's minds the very notion that anyone would buy it was the butt of a joke...
