![]() ![]() ![]() We’re excited to see where the Birds of Prey go next… now they’re a real team could we possibly see the appearance of one Barbara Gordon? Renee Montoya – That Huntress costume at the end looks pretty cool, we even get a classic domino mask. But there was an earlier version of the character, Helena Wayne, who was the daughter of Batman and Catwoman! The Helena Bertinelli Huntress was created by Joey Cavalieri and Joe Staton. – The Helena Bertinelli version of the Huntress has been kicking around DC Comics since 1989. – Black Canary’s costume at the very end incorporates her traditional fishnets, but as part of her sleeves in a smart reinvention of her iconic look. This is a really interesting note as in the comics Dinah was the first Black Canary and her daughter Laurel later took on the mantle, so who was Dinah’s mom? We’d love to know more, especially as the pre- Man of Steel history of the DCEU has only been explored in brief teases so far. – When Renee Montoya and Dinah first meet, the cop references Dinah’s mother who was apparently the first Black Canary. – At the Black Mask club, a drunk Harley accidentally calls Dinah “Bianca” in the club… now we’re probably reaching with this one, but in the comics Helena Bertinelli has a daughter called Bianca Bertinelli…Could this be another deep cut reference to the classic comics? – We get to see Harley chopping it up on a Roller Derby rink which comes from Amanda Palmer, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Chad Hardin’s popular New 52 Harley Quinn run. Only those two were named Bud and Lou, after famed comedy duo Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Harley keeping a pet hyena is also a nice riff on her pet hyenas from Batman: The Animated Series. – Harley’s necklace says Bruce, the name of her Hyena who in turn is named after Bruce Wayne (in the film she apparently doesn’t know that he’s also Batman).
