</i></b> On the <a href="http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=285311" target="_blank">Comic Book Resources forum for writer Gail Simone</a>, Simone just did a short Q&A with Laeta Kalogridis, the woman who developed <em>Birds of Prey</em> for television many years ago.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The interview mostly talks about Wonder Woman, but here's what she had to say about Birds:</font></p>
<p align="left"><em><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Loved the writing of the comic (J), loved the characters, was esp. enamored of the idea of pre-Crisis Earth 2 Helena Wayne, who I had always been fascinated by. Helena B. was just never as compelling to me. Even though the primary relationship in BoP comics was Dinah and Barbara, and I loved it, the potential for anger and edginess with Helena was too good to pass up. Dinah was always more of a well-adjusted gal to me (who else can pull off those fishnets???) and I thought I could have more fun with Helena and Barbara mixing it up. <br>
<br>
<br>
That put us in the odd position of trying to figure out the best way to utilize Dinah’s character, and both the demographic of the then-WB, and the idea of exploring apprenticeship in this kind of life, led me to changing Dinah’s age (although we ultimately ended up using the mother-daughter tradition of canon, although we reworked it for the age we had made her.) <br>
<br>
<br>
Also, “Killing Joke” was a seminal story for me, in that it asked questions about what heroism really was, and what it would mean to have been a hero and then be trapped in your own body in a way that made it impossible for you to live the same life you had before. For Barbara to then become responsible for a ward, in the form of Dinah, had great potential storytelling. Would she encourage Dinah to go in the same direction she had? Would she try to stop her? She was more than a mother, mentor, trainer, handler, all at once – and sending Dinah into situations where she might not survive on a regular basis. What did that do to her head?<br>
<br>
In short, I loved those women. Still do. They deserved their own series.<br>
<br>
I will say that since I was pushed off the project shortly after the pilot was shot (and I was unhappy with elements of the pilot as well,) I felt the direction the show took didn’t come close to the potential it had. I had some great writers on staff – they have since gone on to write on </font></em><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="http://www.herosite.net" target="_blank">Heroes</a>, Fringe, Lost, Dexter<em> – one of them is the screenwriter of the</em> Twilight <em>series, all the films. They’ve changed out directors but not her! <br>
<br>
I think my team could have made something exceptional, and I’m sorry that BoP didn’t live up to that for fans. </em></font></p>

at K-Site was "When will we see Bruce Wayne/Batman on <i>Smallville?</i>"

hit the WB screens, and many years before <i>Birds of Prey,</i>
the network had plans to do a series involving the youth of another
popular DC Comics icon.</font></p>
