Synopsis

The series is set in New Gotham City, several years after it has been apparently abandoned by Batman. In his absence, Huntress, Oracle and Dinah are now the protectors of New Gotham: the Birds of Prey, and had taken over his war on crime. They are joined by Alfred Pennyworth, who serves Helena as she is heir to the Wayne estate; and Detective Jesse Reese, a police officer confronted with crimes and abilities he cannot explain. A central feature of the series is the concept of metahumans: individuals born with powers that cannot be explained. No two metahumans have the same abilities (unless hereditary), and there exists a whole subculture of metahuman society that the outside world knows nothing about.

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
adonis98-743-186503 In the future, long after the Batman has driven himself into exile, his legacy lives on in the form of the Birds of Prey--Black Canary, Oracle, and the Huntress. Birds of Prey (2002 - 2003) is one of those shows that you try to understand of why it was even cancelled so early? Like The Flash (1990 - 1991) or Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008 - 2009) the show was cut just when it was getting even better i mean we got to see even Clayface, we got references to Tim Drake, Jason Todd and Dick Grayson there's even a reference to Superman for god shakes and they cancelled it? Just the way that every episode opened was terrific with a shot of Batman and then Catwoman and their costumes were perfect especially the Batman one i liked the combination of the Batman Forever Cowl and the Batman & Robin suit re-painted with the classic Bat Logo on his chest, also Catwoman's costume was so Batman Returns and it's probably the exact same costume, the Batgirl costume was also a re- paint as well of the Alicia Silverstone one but a better looking one. All 3 characters were fun and likable and especially Dina Meyer who plays Barbara Gordon she was easily the best part of the entire show she portrayed the character with an excellent way and many times i could see the BTAS coming out of her and she has some pretty cool moments threw out the show especially in Episode 8 where she went against Lady Shiva, Dinah Lance played by Rachel Skarsten was also pretty great i liked her story i found it very interesting and as the show goes along she started becoming stronger and stronger, Ashley Scott who plays Helena Kyle the main character is pretty good too it's just that i hated the fact that she didn't chose to cover her face with a mask or a batsuit of her own or something in general she tried to go with the Superman/Smallville take and it was kinda disappointing but overall her character was pretty good and she does portray both sides of her Parents pretty damn good although the fight scenes were kinda disappointing especially since it was very easy to spot on the stunt girl. Shemar Moore plays Jesse Reese a new version of Jim Gordon perhaps? He is loyal, honest and an overall great Cop that seeks for Justice threw out the Show and his chemistry with Helena felt natural and his character always chose to go down without a fight and i respected that. Ian Abercrombie plays Alfred Pennyworth and i just can't stop thinking the similarities between his take on Alfred and Michael Cough's iconic Alfred take from the Original Batman Quadrilogy (1989 - 1997). And then we have Mia Sara who plays Harley Quinn and honestly as much as i enjoyed her performance as Dr. Harleen Quinzel i didn't buy the fact that this particular Character could control the entire New Gotham or to basically make everyone fear of her, it was Joker who was always the big mastermind she was just a partner in crime nothing more and nothing else and as much as i hate to say this her mind didn't actually work enough to think and do all of those stuff i do understand that they tried to go with a much more modern take on her part but that doesn't mean that it was the right decision right? Overall tho her performance was fine it's just that i didn't like the whole boss "thing" that's all. It was also nice to see the actual Black Canary as well even tho they could have used her much better in my opinion, but the actual impressive part is the fact that Mark Hamill actually voiced a live action Joker and even tho it wasn't him it was still quite impressive if you think about it, the Batman and Catwoman flashbacks were quite impressive too and maybe if the show continued Batman could have returned to New Gotham i mean who knows right? The soundtrack is pretty good, the acting is good and the overall new take on those classic new heroes is quite interesting and even original at times also the film feels like a spiritual sequel to Batman Returns (1992) which in it's own way it kinda is although they even use a shot of the Arkham Asylum logo from Batman Forever (1995) i understand why they didn't wanted to go with a Batman Show maybe it was still the bad taste in everyone's mouth with Batman & Robin (1997) but the Caped Crusader deserved a much better overall story if you ask me or at least a happier one? Overall i did enjoy the Series and i wish that there was more but with the current DCEU we might get some of this particular story lines after all there's even a Killing Joke reference when Batgirl gets shot right? The Future is Full of Surprises at the time but like i said great show you could easily give it a shot.
disdressed12 i had high expectations for this series,and as soon as it arrived on DVD,i went out and bought a copy of it.even though i don't feel it was quite as good as i had hoped,it is still a pretty good series.it takes place sometime in the future in New Gotham.Batman does not make an appearance in this show,though he is alluded to a few times.this show is about the next generation of crime fighters who try to make the city safe.the three main characters are all women,and there is also a supporting character,played by a women.all the female characters are well defined and strongly written.at least i thought so.the series itself is pretty good,although i found a few of the episodes sort of mundane.i also thought some of the fight scenes looked a bit too stagey,and the there is some repetition in the show.i won't get int specifics on that point,but if you watch the show,you'll see what i mean.otherwise,i enjoyed it,and would recommend it to others.7/10
Cara-Mae I would have rated this show higher except that now, watching the recent DVD release, I am utterly jaded by the musical changes made on the DVDs.The most annoying ones are the theme song itself being swapped and in the final episode the removal of the apt-fitting "All the things she said" by TATU with some other song that I found jarring.The actresses did well with what they were given although a couple of the episodes were rather eye-roll inducing but I've seen that in many series that were given more of a chance than BoP was.Overall, it was an enjoyable series with characters that were more flawed and human in their behaviour than typically expected of "superheroes" and that's part of the draw of this far too short-lived series.
romeoramirez Have no idea what a spoiler is. but hey to be safe. its marked. I actually thought the idea behind the show was awesome. The Huntress was so hot! and the endgame battle was awesome! I do not agree with changing the cast. I think the writers should be held accountable. put your heart into it man! fight scenes were really great and would be good to see this on DVD. its ten times better than greatest American hero and that show is on DVD. choreography is excellent on this show. definitely one i would like to see resurrected. and why not bring Wayne home? to see his girl. and what is Abercrombie doing trying the acting? but hey his was the small parts i guess anyone could do that. but hey it was brilliant!
