Set in the aftermath of Catwoman's murder and Batman's disappearance, the series explored the fledgling team's efforts to defend Gotham City from Harley Quinn (Mia Sara).
#HUNTRESS BIRDS OF PREY COSPLAY TV#
Birds of Prey: Beyond the ComicsThe Birds of Prey franchise inspired a live-action TV series in 2002, one that featured Ashley Scott as Huntress (re-imagined here as the super-powered daughter of Batman and Catwoman), Dina Meyer as Oracle and Rachel Skarsten as Black Canary. Harley actually fought against the Birds of Prey when she was briefly recruited by a supervillain team called the Secret Six. Harley is more traditionally involved with the Suicide Squad or the Gotham City Sirens (sort of an anti-Birds of Prey that also includes Poison Ivy and Catwoman). DC Rebirth brought the team back to basics.ĭespite the fact that Harley Quinn is expected to be a prominent character in the Birds of Prey movie, she doesn't have a strong connection to the team in the comics. With the most recent series, Batgirl and the Birds of Prey, the team roster has reverted to the classic Batgirl/Black Canary/Huntress dynamic. That revamp met with a mixed reception from fans, resulting in another relaunch with DC Rebirth in 2016 that featured a more traditional take on the team. The team was re-imagined as a sort of covert ops strike force with Black Canary in the lead and characters like Katana and Poison Ivy in prominent roles. The most significant evolution came with DC's New 52 relaunch in 2011. The Birds of Prey have shifted operations from Gotham to Metropolis to Platinum Flatts and back to Gotham. The team has undergone many changes in the years since, gaining and losing members and even changing headquarters several times. However, when writer Gail Simone took over the series with Birds of Prey #56 in 2003, she added Huntress to the roster and completed what's now considered to be the classic Birds of Prey lineup. Initially, the team consisted of just those two members. The team first debuted in a 1995 comic called Black Canary/Oracle: Birds of Prey #1. The Birds of Prey lineup has expanded quite a bit over the years.īirds of Prey: Origin and BackgroundThe Birds of Prey were created by Jordan B. Big Barda - A former member of Darkseid's Female Furies, Barda would rather use her incredible strength to defend the people of Earth.
Lady Blackhawk - Zinda Blake is a time-displaced member of the WWII-era team known as the Blackhawks. The Huntress - The third member of the main Birds of Prey trinity, Huntress is a skilled fighter and crossbow user. Black Canary - The other founding member, Dinah Lance combines martial arts expertise with a powerful sonic scream. Since recovering from her paralysis (caused by being shot by Joker in 1986's Batman: The Killing Joke), she's also returned to active duty as Batgirl. Oracle/Batgirl - A founding member, Barbara Gordon serves as the technical support/computer expert of the team. But there are a handful of characters who have shaped and defined the team over the past two decades. Birds of Prey: Key MembersLike most super-teams in the DCU, the Birds of Prey lineup is usually in flux. The constant clash between pragmatism and idealism is one of the team's defining characteristics. The Birds of prey is also notable for including some of the noblest heroines in the DCU as well as less morally upright characters like Catwoman and Poison Ivy. And as the team's ranks have grown over the years, they've taken a more active role in protecting the wider world, not just Gotham City. Together, they battle the villains and challenges too great for any lone heroine to overcome. This superhero team is notable for featuring an almost entirely female roster, one usually anchored by the core trinity of Batgirl/Oracle, Black Canary and Huntress. Play Birds of Prey: The BasicsGotham City is a big place, and even Batman and Robin are usually hard-pressed to handle the many villains running amok in their city.
