There's not much else to see that's new this coming season. With Buffy going off the air, probably, Birds of Prey could be a good replacement.

They should had made Helena the runaway and Black Canary Barbara

Because It makes more sense comic book wise. Huntress isn't even part of the Bird's of Prey in the comic, she was just in a couple of issues. In the show wouldn't it be better if Helena was the new member of the Bird's and start her off in the series as murdered mobster's daughter, Helena Bertinelli, then she learns that she is her father's nemesis daughter who is Batman and Catwoman for a little bit of a cliffhanger into season 2 or maybe 3. Anyway it's to late now, would had made the show more interesting, but I will still watch the show because of Sherilyn Fenn.

Excellent choice,pondering why she hasn't had any decent roles since Starship Troopers.Now,let's hope the writers don't screw this up.Birds Of Prey has potential!!I'll tune in,even though the only characters of DC I like,are Wonder Woman,Superman and The Justice League.But offsprings of Batman and Catwoman....could be worth my one hour.

Call me a fanboy, but this is BATMAN we are talking about here. You know, the guy who was so overcome with rage over what the Joker did to Robin (possibly the most chilling comic sequence I ever read as a child) that at one point he flat out decks the Man of Steel for not seeing things his way? Now tell me, if THE WOMAN HE LOVES were killed by this guy, would he leave in shame? NO! He would have found a way to make the Joker pay, over and over and over and over (you get the point)... I don't pretend to know a thing about the Birds of Prey comic, so someone clear this up for me, is this the actual story? It just doesn't jive with everything Batman.. oh well.
-
BATMAN feels guilty because he's indirectly responcible for what happened to Batgirl and Catwoman? What a great idea! I hope Mark Waid gets credit, since this is alomst the same as what happened to Superman in the "Kingdom Come" backstory.

Have you people lost your minds completely? of all the ripping apart I normally expect of crap shows and praise of the good, I see people supporting this fecal monstrosity. First of all, the Batman movies sucked, and I know yer moaning and groaning with the same "Tim Burton's Batman wasnt that bad". no, that sucked to it just sucked to a lesser degree cuz it wasn't like the old show. secondly, its by the "smallville" people!! did this not tip you off? did it not register that, just maybe, the same people are gonna make some whiney, angst ridden teen bitchfest and put a superhero's name on it just so the dumb can watch it and they makes wads of cash?? The backstory is what kills me. what a terrible premise. Im not even gonna nitpick this one and cite the things I hate about it, its the whole thing that induces vomit. The actual "birds of prey" backstory isn't really good either, but it beats this one hands down. Now before you all lable me as a cynical fanboy who should "relax" or "open my eyes", the only reason I'm posting this is because I'm a big fan of superhero anything. I'd like a good batman or spin off of to watch just as much as you do, but a GOOD show. this whole thing is a stinky mess. yes, support comic based shows, but support the ones that have some little drop of quality in them. otherwise, limp dicked producers are gonna see that we'll buy whatever they pinch out as long as they tag a superhero's name on it, lining thier pockets and leaving us with a show thats just....shite.

So far this looks pretty good. I don't really know what I was expecting but this clip gives me a little more hope. Ashley Scott is totally hot!

I've been out of the comic book loop for a while now, with the Killing Joke, Batgirl being shot thing being the only reference I recognized from the set up, so I don't know anything at all about this story. But I still enjoy a good super-hero show when I get the chance. Unfortunately, this doesn't look like a good super-hero show. That clip was boring, one cliche after another. I felt like I was watching something I had already seen but couldn't remember the name of, because it was sooo generic. That whole clip was dull, even the jump at the end. It had kind of a soap opera feel to it. But maybe it was just the clip. Maybe the show will be worth watching. I just hope it sets up the story for those of us who don't know shit about it.

Every clip I've seen looks like they nailed Barbara Gordon/B
by triumph the dog
Unfortunately, that's it. Every clip I've seen also looks like the rest of the show is a terrible, terrible, mix of "Black Scorpion," "Dark Angel" and "Mutant X." Huntress looks older than Babs and hasn't demonstrated any acting ability whatsoever beyond pretending to not be in pain from the duct tape they must of used to hold her breasts into that get up. I also find it interesting that they seem to be avoiding releasing much of the "Black Canary" character. Almost as if she's not a selling point? As in, maybe she sucks? Just a theory.

For the last few months I'd been thinking about what sort of Batman show I'd like to make (see). And I figured a solid Batman show, that placated the fans and used major plot elements from the actual comic. The pilot would be about a young Bruce losing his parents, then training as he gets older (probably a musical montage), then going out on his first night's patrol (a la Year One), finally putting on the cape and cowl at the end of the first show. The first few episodes would have him face off against basic criminal elements (much like The Animated Series). One episode would reflect the Joker Back story of "The Red Hood" from "The Killing Joke" (we would NOT learn the Joker's name before he became the Joker. He did NOT KILL BRUCE'S PARENTS.) Half way through the first season we would get to meet Dick Grayson but he wouldn't don the Robin costume until season two. The first season we would meet The Riddler, The Penguin and Catwoman. Season two would be Two-Face, The Scarecrow and Poison Ivy, etc. If I had my way, I could keep the show going for about seven years. Introducing Batgirl in the third season then shooting her by mid-season five. So that we'd get the Oracle by mid-season six. Also Robin would become Nightwing around the same time and we'd get Tim Drake by Season Seven. After Eight Seasons, I'd close down the show for a year then comeback with a Mini-series four parter using most of the cast to portray The Dark Knight Returns. But instead, we get Birds of Prey. Oh well.

since when did the huntress get powers?.. I've been out of comics for a while i don't remember her ever having powers...maybe it's just me.

I usally give new shows a chance. However, seeing that the previews are filled with HOT GIRLS, I am going to skip this show. I am sick of this fucking cliche that HOT WOMEN whoop ass. It's tired. REAL PEOPLE DO NOT LOOK LIKE MODELS. And what the fuck was Huntress wearing? That was a LAME ASS costume. The premise that Batman leave Gotham is EXTREMELY LAME too. Batman would never leave Gotham becuse through Gotham, he is able to reach self-worth. Sigh, I really wish they went with the Batman: Year One idea. Now, we're going to get some X-Factor wannabe. OMG, whoever says that BoP has potential of replacing Buffy is WRONG. Nothing will replace Buffy and esp. not this nonsense.
-
Some people actually DO look like models. They're called models. Maybe you mean REAL PEOPLE DO NOT LOOK LIKE SUPER-HEROES? That would be a less deranged thing to scream in all-caps. Honestly. Grousing at the abundance of smokin'-hot, scantily-clad women covering your screen? Well...hey, it's none of MY business, right?
-
I just hope Batdaughter and the non-detecting detective can somehow find a way to mend their differences and join forces to catch the bad-guy. But she can't get too close, or he'll find out her secret identity...which a mask may have helped protect.
