Gorfinkel - who is also the one who gave the team the name of Birds of Prey in the pages of the first issue of the series from writer Chuck Dixon and artist Gary Frank.Ĭhuck Dixon described this relationship as a clash of values, and “ Dinah’s more idealistic approach is at the heart of this book.” Black Canary alias Dinah Laurel Lance is presented as more passionate and idealistic than her partner in crime Oracle alias Barbara Gordon who has a strong sense of morality but, is also less morally conflicted, per Dixon’s words who described her as a woman who knows that, sometimes, you have to kill to save lives–even if she’s not comfortable with that fact. The relationship between the two characters was established in Showcase ’96 #3, written by Jordan B. Shame it never got one.At first, The Birds of Prey is a partnership between Black Canary and Oracle, which has expanded with time to include additional superheroines. It's too bad that more people weren't open minded enough. I'm sorry it got cancelled so soon, it's much better than most of the tripe on TV these days. Over all though Birds of Prey was a fun show. That too was pretty stupid in my opinion. Also what was the obsession with Meta Human's? There was far too many and it seemed every villain was one. She was so far removed from the "true" Harley (the animated series version will always be what I consider to be the ultimate portrayl of Miss Quinn) that they might has well have given her another name, since she was pretty much a whole different character anyway. My only faults with the series was Harley Quinn. Black Canary was okay but did they have to many her a kid? Ah well at least they made up for that by having the "real" Black Canary, Dinah's mother, show up in one episode. I also liked Huntress a lot, she too have depth and her relationship with the detective was good to watch. ![]() Dina Meyor played Orcale/Barbara Gordon incredibly well, she was so realistic in the role and gave "Babs" so much depth it stunned me. The action was cool and the acting better than I expected. Yes, it did screw with the Batman mytho's but if you push that aside, I found it to be a really fun show with a great cast and good stories. I am probably all alone in my opinion, but I liked Birds of Prey so much more than "Smallville" (even though I am also a big Superman fan). There are also considerable differences in the score and sound effects. ![]() In the TV series, the relationship begins in the pilot and progresses through the series.
