| | Zap2it - TV features - 'Birds of Prey' Lands on WB |
 | | Premiering Wednesday, Oct. 9, with an opening episode that runs 70 minutes, "Birds of Prey" is based on the comic of the same name, which focuses on masked heroines defending New Gotham, an updated version of Batman's Gotham City, with Batman mysteriously out of the picture. |
 | | While the comic inspired "Birds of Prey," Tollin/Robbins -- along with executive producers Joe Davola ("Smallville") and Ron Koslow ("Beauty and the Beast"), and writer Laeta Kalogridis, who developed the series for television -- have taken some liberties with the original story line, which has caused some ripples of controversy in the comic-fan community. |
 | | In the comics, the third leg of the trio was Black Canary, but it's not been established that Dinah and that character are one and the same. |
