Birds of Prey DVD

Fast delivery, no Problems here.
I was disapointed however that they changed the main title for the dvd-version.
I liked the TV-Version better.
Also they could have written that the Episodes for Gotham Girls are barely 2 Min. each.
Had I known that I might have bought the cheaper European Version without them.

At last....

Loved it and wish it hadn't taken so long. Everything worked beautifully from the packages to the dvd's. September 1, 2008

Amazing Show...Too Bad It Had To Go,,,

Having read some of the earlier reviews, let me say I have the distinct advantage of not having been addicted to this show previously. The unfortunate changes in music and editing did not affect me because I did not know any better (although I understand the complaints...being a fan of the Odd Couple & WKRP, I am aware of the ugly face of corporate greed).

Anyway, onto the show itself. I love a twist on an old and overplayed story. Just as The Dark Knight in the movies (and its prequel Batman Begins) were a fresh departure from the previously filmed Batman mythos, this show gives you a "what if" world to ponder. Extremely addictive and sadly unique in its depiction of such strong and interesting female characters, Birds Of Prey gives you everything you want from this genre.

If you like complex storylines with solid acting, great action and even some sexual tension thrown in, you will like this show. As with many a great show, it is sad that it was not given time to develop a following. It is not unrealistic to say that over time this could have built the same following as Smallville or Charmed, 2 long running series. In the meantime, enjoy it for what it is. September 1, 2008

Good, but changed

I like the series. When it was on television, I only caught a couple of episodes, but my wife had seen nearly all of them. So I got it for her birthday. We largely both happy. The series is great, the story and action work well, and I'd love to see more of the actors in other things, especially Ashely Scott and Mia Sara. But i do have two complaints. One is bonus material. Now, spread through the four discs is the entire (to my knowledge) Gotham Girls web series and the original pilot. (Very similar to the one that was aired, but with a few changes.) But that's it. Nothing about the actors, the story, not even any commentary or interviews. Then there's the music. From what my wife tells me, they had some trouble deciding on a piece for the opening credits, and actually had three or four different ones before settling on Aimee Allen's "Revolution." In this version, the opening piece is consistently one song that I don't recognize, despite the fact that Ms. Allen is credited with the song on nearly all, if not all, the episodes. There was also the final fight song. In the original version, when Huntress fights Harley Quinn you hear the t.A.T.u. Girls' "Everything She Said," which is not only a great song, but really fit with the events of the episode. Again, they changed the song, to something harder, and that just doesn't work as well. Now, we're still glad we have the series, but we both would have liked to have heard the original music, and perhaps a few more extras. August 30, 2008

Bird's Of Prey

This series was well worth the wait however cheesy the show may have been.Us true comic afficionado's will enjoy and appreciate having the femme fatale's finally in a show but we need to demand they put it back on television and raise the budget for better special effect's. August 25, 2008
