Birds of Prey (batman tv series)

does anyone else remember when smallville first came out, or possibly before
superman got smallville (well written, good stories, succesful)
batman got birds of prey (LOOOSELY based off of the succesful comic series, but they got it ALL wrong...)
if these series started off each episode with an Elseworlds logo in the corner, i'd have loved it
but it didnt

the series had nothing to do with birds of prey or batman in the comics
they have huntress as being bruce & catwoman's daughter
the series itself sucked
i do remmber an episode with clayface which was kind of cool, but that is about it
anyone else remember this series?
i'll take The Batman over birds of prey ANY day

Birds of Prey wasn't that hot, and I'm not really liking the new The Batman cartoon either. I would love to see another Batman movie with Christian Bale though!

Huntress was Batman and Catwoman's daughter on Earth 2... 🙂

yes, on earth 2, but not on the regular dc universe, earth 2 was one of many parallel universes or whatever
yes i'd love to see another movie with christian bale, and it seems guarenteed that we will get at least 2 more with the current cast
i hope that they make it a quick release, the 3rd one, like matrix or pirates of the carribean
that would please me very much, this 3 years between bat films is ridiculous

one thing i would've really like to have seen is a live action Batman tv series 5 or so years ago
could've been very cool, taken place in gotham city
he could've had allies who came in, some reocurring rolls, some regulars, same with villians
if taken seriously and done by someone who would stick to the comics
it could've been VERY cool
this should would be nothing like adam west's batman (although if you watch those episodes, i am currently in the process of re watching the series, having not seen it for over 10 years) i appreciate and enjoy it, it does portray the comics as they were in the 60's, i have a lot of those comics. I think it is pretty cool, the riddler leaves clues that explode (riddler's actor does a superb job too, as does joker's and penguin's, i really like what they did with the character although joker's actor could've shaved his mustache instead of painted it white a bit noticable sometimes) in the first episode with the joker he used some spring thing to get him out of prison, very comic like, cartoon like also, but i'm sure he has done that in the comics
they had mr. freeze and the mad hatter in the old series too which i didn't know
sorry back to the batman show
they could start it out the first year or 2 batman, introducing the villians (most of which would already be established before the series started, skipping the boring origins we already know) having batman catch the villians, some escaping, etc
if the show were to stay strong into season 2, perhaps if it made it to a 3rd year they could even do something like the knightfall storyline
have a 2 parter that represents the sword of azrael or something, showing how batman met azrael and learned about him, then giving him a job at waynetech (like in the comics) bane could come out and break the bat
there are so many good storylines they could use for something like this, endless new ideas, and endless characters they could bring it like nightwing, batgirl, oracle, bane, scarwcrow, joker, riddler, two face, the ventrilaquist, poisin ivy, and what seems like 100's more, probobly not clayface or man bat due to keeping the show as realistic as possible, but you never know the cartoon did good...
anyone else think this would've been cool?

anyway birds of prey sucked...series had great potential...unfrotunately NOTHING more than that

Sounds cool... but Manbat, Clayface etc would be a big no-no! A)( due to budget and B) to keep realism...
