Birds of Prey Cancelled - BWAHAHAAH - told you so

<br><br>

Finally, JUSTICE is served, and you didn't need three useless chicks in costumes to deliver it. Thank you higher ups at the WB for cancelling this abomination, this disgrace to the Batman legacy. The pilot was awful, the costumes are pathetic and the entire storyline is insulting.

Bottom line is WOMEN MAKE HORRIBLE SUPERHEROES. I'm sorry, but there are just not as cool as male superheroes. Case in point, Wonder Woman. Invisible plane? AWFUL. The HUNTRESS. AWFUL.

I can't think of one GOOD female superhero in television or film. They all suck. (And don't say Linda Hamilton in Terminator or Xena...they were not superheroes. I define anyone with powers beyond normal people to be superheroes, which is why Batman is NOT a superhero.)

Wait, Trinity in the Matrix was pretty cool, but they turned her into a submissive whiner with a crush...oh Neo...I love you...you're the one...shutup.

I could tell it was going the way of the Dodo in the first episode. Good concept, bad execution. They should have stuck with the original comic book version. The acting was god awful. Those chicks couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. The only good part of the show was the cop Reese. Oh well, another one bites the dust this season.

Buffy doesn't count. She only kills vampires. If Lex Luthor or the Green Goblin tried to take over the world, she'd be standing around with her thumb up her ass. Unless they were vampires.

I'll give you Buffy...she didn't come to mind as having super powers, but I remember she was supposed to have super strength or something...the movie was horrible though.

I meant to say WB, not Fox. My bad.

It's a huge ripoff of dark angel anyways.

[WintersEmbers]

it was never going to get better too much of a rip off of a bunch of different concepts. it died as soon as it started to diverge from the comic which was in the friggin commericials before the pilot aired...itSTINKS and i dont like it.

Rip off or not, Fastlane kicks ass. Birds of prey sucked worse than hooker with no jaw.

This show is unwatchable. Warner Brothers is too busy protecting its Batman trademark to let it be a good show. The people who put together this show almost made Smallville a complete piece of shit. It has rebounded well this season. I do this the chick who plays the Huntress is hot, though. The girl who plays the young girl sucks and was totally miscast. Buffy was the best girl superhero show and it worked for a long time.

Rackin' up bad Karma since 1971!

[TheMojoPin]

It's "bwahahahah". "Buahaahah" would sound like "boo-ahahahahahaha", and that's just weird.

[DarkHippie]

If they were going to make a spin off of Batman, they should've made a series out of "Resurrection Man" or "the Demon", something that isn't that well known, and has the potetnial for alot of action, special effects, and humor.

[schmega]

i'm glad. it was indeed a disgrace to the batman name.

and chicks suck at saving anything. sorry ladies, but i'm not believing any of you can foil a diabolical plot or stop a megalomaniac. especially not the hot and dainty ones they have on tv. lets face it, all the buffies and dark angels of the world are only good for the few minutes when you're running one. and whenever i pass by Alias, i just notice how bony her face is and her lumpy, humungous temple.

besides being dopey, and lacking in social value, these shows simply add to the PUSSIFICATION OF AMERICA. 'hero' is a guy's job. ladies, leave hand-to-hand combat to us. its far too simian for you.

i'd honestly be more impressed if you used your wit to overcome a foe instead of what little brawn you have.

[Serial]

Damn...I just started watching Birds of Prey and, was kinda liking it. Huntress and Chloe(Smallville) are hotties. Anyway, Batman is supposed to make an appearance on BOP next week.

I've never heard of these guys. Ressurection Man sounds pretty stupid though. Instead of spinoffs they should do shows on popular characters that can't make it in the movies. Like Dr.Strange or Namor. Whatever happened to those guys?

[DarkHippie]

Ressurection Man sounds pretty stupid though.
I only read a couple of issues, but I kinda dug it. his thing is that when he his killed he comes back to life, and each time he comes back to life, he gets a different power, losing the one he had before. one time he might be farting fire, the next he might be invisible.

one issue I read was a team-up with Hitman, and when he found out about this little quirk, Hitman kept killing the poor shmoe until he came up with a useful power. funny shit.

The show was ok. Atleast it was something to watch. As sad as it is to say, I have to agree with you guys. Women do make horrible super heros, but we usually do look better in the uniforms...

But we already have strippers for that. Chicks need to stay out of the Hall of Justice. Besides, with Aquaman gaying the place up, there's really no place for them.

I get alot of people are into it. Just like alot of people dig Simpsons. Just a weird fad to me though.

which is why Batman is NOT a superhero.


I could've sworn he was. So its the powers not the spandex that make the superhero? So if I could learn languages faster than a speeding bullet and put a handkerchief over my face, I'd be more a superhero than batman?

[JustJon]

1) Fastlane sucked.

2) Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman

3) The show was so changed from the comic to meet the WB status quo. Fuck the pseudo love story. Fuck the pseudo drama. Use the real DC Universe characters, including supporting characters and make it interesting. I caught the show Wednesday and they had to use a lame ass Nightwing rip-off and make him suck.

yes.

thats what makes batman so cool. he's the epitome of a human being. he's completely self-made, with the help of a big inheritance, of course.

[HordeKing1]

I tend to like the show, because of it's portrayal of strong female leads, but they strayed too far from the source material. The show would be better if they cut most of the dialogue in favor of action. That's why people watch superhero shows.

In addition, placing the show on Wednesday night was not the best decision. They had a built in audience Tuesday nights after Smallville, but inexplicably didn't take advantage of it.

BTW, Dina Meyer was on Howard Stern today. She said they're still shooting the series and that they'll be on through February at least. The network hasn't picked up the "back 9" episodes but they have the option to do so.

The plot was so complex so quick I thought the wb had invented the whole deal. Is the comic this series is based on also called Birdes of prey? How different is it?


And whats so bad about Fastlane? Its not Shakespeare, but it is entertaining, which BoP was not.

[DarkHippie]

resurrection sound like an anime called "Excel Saga"
looks like I got another series to add to my evergrowing list *sigh*

i don't think that Batman is a superhero either. He's just a hero. Unless you consider being able to surive on 3 hours of sleep a night every night a super power
