What's It All About?
Who are The Birds of Prey?
The series is set in New Gotham City, several years after Batman has abandoned it. Barbara Gordon and Helena, The Huntress, take over his war on crime. Dinah joins them after she helps them defeat a villain in the pilot. Alfred Pennyworth, who serves Helena as heir to the Wayne estate, and Detective Jesse Reese, a police officer confronted with crimes and abilities he cannot explain are the other two main characters (for good!).As time goes on the Birds of Prey find themselves confronted with schemes masterminded by Dr. Quinzel who happens to be Helena's therapist, although they don't know about her involvement until the final episodes. Her attempts to discover what Helena is hiding, with the contrast of their sessions together, is the main theme of the series and is resolved at the end.
Even though the series was pulled prematurely, the plot is consistent and comes to a logical end.
