Essentially, if Thompson had written the characters instead of trying to fit characters into a story she wanted to tell, the first three issues wouldn’t have been necessary to get the plot to where it ends up by the end of issue #4. ![]() If anything a quick message from Black Canary to Wonder Woman would’ve made all this unnecessary. This is mainly due to the fact that it is completely nonsensical for Dinah and Diana to be fighting against each other. The first third of this issue is a battle between Dinah’s faction and Diana’s faction and narratively it’s tedious and boring. It’s funny in a meta-way and sort of stupid within the story itself. I think Thompson is the only person who upon first seeing this group together would say it’s the Birds of Prey. It’s odd to me, but clearly not Thompson, that Wonder Woman identifies this group of characters as “the Birds of Prey” when they are clearly not recognizable as such and the fact that this is the first time as we saw in issue #1 when Dinah assembled them for the first time that this group has ever worked together. Romero also does a nice job with the storytelling that helps the book flow narratively as best as possible with the given script. Romero’s figures just plain look good as does Bellaire’s choice of colors. Leonardo Romero and Jordie Bellaire continue to make this an entertaining book visually, despite the erratic nature of Kelly Thompson’s writing. It’s also nice to know that the Amazons have been trying to contact Dinah, but “couldn’t get through.” Gee maybe ask Diana her longtime JLA teammate to reach out? Additionally, Harley plays a much smaller role in this issue than in the previous three, and that’s a huge relief. Once Diana listens to what Dinah has to say about the mission, it feels believable. This makes about 1/3 of the issue pretty good from a writing standpoint. PositivesĪbout halfway through Birds of Prey #4, the comic becomes somewhat intelligible and the actual plot is finally revealed by the end. This leads to a breakthrough in the plot however…. meet Diana and the Amazons in battle…and OOOPS- it’s all just a big misunderstanding. With the film set to begin production on January 15th, 2019 in Atlanta and Los Angeles, it seems we will know more information regarding the film soon, including official casting information in the coming weeks/months.Dinah and Co. Batgirl is noticeably lacking from that synopsis and despite how the character was featured in earlier drafts, they are no longer considering to have the character featured in the film (however I have heard they are actively searching to cast someone as Batgirl in the DCEU).Īs for Huntress, as mentioned previously by Omega Underground, they are currently considering Alexandra Daddario to play the role of Huntress and are seemingly not interested in casting a POC actor for the role.Īs for Black Canary, again as mentioned previously by Omega Underground, they currently have Jodie Comer, Blake Lively and Vanessa Kirby on their wish list to play the role of Black Canary, I’ve been told they are looking to cast someone between 20-30 years old and that Katheryn Winnick, who was previously a very popular choice to play the character in the DCEU, is not in the running to play the character in Birds of Prey.Īs for Renee Montoya, as The Wrap previously reported, she will be a detective in the forsenics department at the GCPD, although there are currently no names that we are aware of that are in consideration for the role, the studio are looking to cast someone between their late 20s and early 30s.Īnd finally, as for Cassandra Cain, the studio are looking to cast a younger actor, someone around the age of 11-12 to play the role. ![]() ![]() Besides Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, the team will consist of: Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya. The villain as of now is currently unknown, however we can confirm Umberto Gonzalez’s previous finding that Penguin was at one point the villain for ‘Birds of Prey’ and is no longer set to be the villain for the film, however the synopsis seems to indicate that the villain will be some sort of crime lord.Īdditionally the synopsis confirms that the team that The Wrap originally reported. The potential synopsis for the story of the film goes as follows: “After splitting up with The Joker, Harley Quinn and three other female superheroes – Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya – come together to save the life of a little girl (Cassandra Cain) from an evil crime lord.” However we at DiscussingFilm have a potential synopsis for the film that we are able to share as well as some details on what we know regarding the film. Multiple reports over the past few weeks have been releasing regarding DC’s ‘Birds Of Prey’ which is currently set to star Margot Robbie and be directed by Cathy Yan.
