Birds of Prey

2002–2003 · 1 season

A moody, glossy superhero drama that plays like a soapy crime-fighting adventure with a dark city backdrop.

Overview: The series is set in New Gotham City, several years after it has been apparently abandoned by Batman. In his absence, Huntress, Oracle and Dinah are now the protectors of New Gotham: the Birds of Prey, and had taken over his war on crime. They are joined by Alfred Pennyworth, who serves Helena as she is heir to the Wayne estate; and Detective Jesse Reese, a police officer confronted with crimes and abilities he cannot explain.
How it feels: Dark, tense, melancholic and campy. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, crime, power, betrayal
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
