Summary: Good Show, Disappointing DVD Set
Comment: As others have commented, this DVD set is disappointing. Changing the theme song is bad enough, but the main insult to fans is the letterbox presentation. Sure, it's widescreen, but it's also non-anamorphic which means it will show with black borders on all sides on a HD widescreen display. You can zoom it, with loss of picture quality, if you are not using a digital connection or are willing to reset your player to a lower resolution. I really hate letterbox DVDs. I would give the show four stars but have to deduct for the poor choices made in producing the DVDs.

Summary: Fantastic Show but Short Lived
Comment: I was very excited to see Birds of Prey released on DVD as I've been waiting for quite some time! Seeing a show that features women as the lead characters is always refreshing and having this be a spin-off of the Batman, Cat Woman saga is quite creative! The special effects are eye catching and so is the Huntress, Oracle, and Reese (look out for that sauna scene where Reese is seen shirtless). I would recommend this series to those who like to see women fight, well let me say those with meta-human abilities, and a story line that keeps you quite hooked!

Summary: part old batman part new vampire part buffy part xmen
Comment: a bizarre mixture of old batman and modern action movies and serial tv series. the now common formula of 3 girls (red, blond, brunette)
also the modern techno video game mix of 1. fighter, 2. witch, 3. plugged in techno junkie. but then it unravels with the old batman villains, probably would have been better if it had fixated on new more complex villains, the acting seemed rushed, and the writing never really explained why the characters had such unbelievable mood swings, the mood swings seemed more like plot devices, but the fight scenes were fun, and most of the characters and scenery was easy on the eye. could have been more complex bad guy plots though.

Summary: Birds of Prey: The complete series
Comment: I had never heard of this series, but my husband had and he asked me to purchase it. Well, we ended up watching the entire series together in a couple nights. I enjoyed it, but, then we tend to like shows like this.

Summary: Gotham without Batman?
Comment: The basic plot line behind this half-season series is, "What would Gotham City be like without Batman?" Joker kills Catwoman, and Batman is so distraught he leaves this city for good. His apprentice, Batgirl, joined by Catwoman's daughter, are left to fight crime in Gotham without Batman. An interesting take on the Gotham City, which focuses on very few DC Comic Batman villians. The series tries to go for a dark and gritty feel, but misses entirely. The series is light, campy, and fun.
