The "Birds of Prey" was a great series that showed a lot of promise in the early stages, but sadly the show was cancelled after only 13 episodes. Presented for the first time on DVD format all 13 episodes are here for your viewing enjoyment. Fans of the show will be upset to learn that the opening theme song has been changed as well as most of the music from the show. Fans may also be upset with the picture format, its fake widescreen. Warner decided to present it in full screen then they added some black bars on the top and bottom to simulate a widescreen effect. Shame on you Warner for changing the music and not picking a picture format and sticking with it. This four single sided disc set is well done and contains a pristine looking video transfer and amazing sound. Just like the "FLASH" and "M.A.N.T.I.S." this show ended way to soon.

The Joker has killed the Cat and by doing so has wounded the Bat. Who will protect the citizens of Gotham City now that the Bat has gone for good?

Citizens of Gotham City you can now rejoice. The Bat and the Cat had a daughter and her name is Helena better known as the "Huntress" and she is prepared to single handedly take over where her father (Batman) left off. During the Joker's rein of terror on Gotham one of Batman's allies Batgirl was seriously wounded and now she must do her crime fighting from a wheelchair. Fortunately for Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) she has been able to reinvent herself as "Oracle", the team's cyber specialist. Black Canary (Dinah) is the inexperienced clairvoyant and the newest and youngest member ready and willing to fight crime in Gotham City.

Together this new trio of heroes will carry the weight of Gotham City on their shoulders in the pursuit of justice for all. The newest trio of crime fighters will live fight and die together if they have to in an effort to rid Gotham of its villains once and for all. Welcome to the "Birds of Prey"

I bought this boxset off ebay for around 25$. The series itself is intriguing, and very different then what you'd expect. If you have an open mind, and want to view something different, then you might want to try it, just not at this price. This boxset only has 12 or 13 episodes. I must say, at least they finished the series properly, as so many shows, when cancelled, lack some kind of closure. This one, had a very decent closure.

I was a fan of the original airing of the show. So I pre-ordered the set and once I got my hands on it, I was disappointed with what I saw. They changed the majority of the music to some soft pop unknown tunes. They even changed the theme song and made it fairly weak when compared how strong the original song was.
