User Reviews

Classic comic, not classic camp

I just saw the pilot episode, and I thought that it had all of the classic signs of a great comic. As an avid comic fan, I am always curious to see how TV and films will "adapt" a certain comic for entertainment purposes (or $$$$). In my opinion, the producers of the show have managed to successfully adapt this comic to the small screen for comic fans or for the Average Joe and Josephine, while still lining their pockets (of course). Kudos for "Birds of Prey"...may you have a "Simpson-esque" lifespan!

P.S. Keep in mind...this show was already in the works before "Spider-Man" grossed even $7, let alone $400 million...
