Having been more than disappointed by the actual Birds of Prey TV show (Dina Meyer as Barbara was pretty much its only saving grace) and being absolutely overjoyed that the great Gail Simone is back at writing my favorite gals in an all new on-going series, I decided that a perfect way to homage the Birds was to make them the subject of this photomanip.
Casting's imagined for a possible TV series.
Helena Bertinelli/Huntress - Charisma Carpenter of Buffy and Angel. Probably the only one who makes sense because she got to kick some ass as Cordelia, but she was also the comic relief of those shows, and Helena is kind of the dark and brooding type. Still, Charisma has shown wonderful range in the last couple of seasons of Angel so I'm sure she could pull it off.
Barbara Gordon/Oracle - Linda Cardellini, from Freaks and Geeks to E.R. to Brokeback Mountain, she always seems to play women that are very strong on the outside but also hide fears and regrets. Babs fits the bill. Linda is an amazing actress and she's hot in that geeky/sweet way that makes her perfect for Barbara.
Zinda Blake/Lady Blackhawk - Portia De Rossi, better known for being Mrs. Ellen DeGeneres, this gorgeous aussie has shown that beautiful women with luscious blonde hair can also be hilarious. With Ally McBeal, Arrested Development and Better Off Ted in her resume Portia has delivered some of the best deadpan humor on TV in the last few years. Zinda's kind of rougher and her humor's definitely broad and showy, but I can see Portia going for that too.
Dinah Lance/Black Canary - my original actress for Dinah was Elisabeth R?hm of Angel fame, but I decided to be bold and choose somebody who's closer to Dinah the hilarious, sassy girl who hangs out with Wildcat rather than deadly warrior Dinah (Elisabeth R?hm would have been better in that department). So, in the end I went with somebody who is relatively unknown, but a beautiful and great actress nonetheless. Andrea Anders was last seen in Better Off Ted and she played such a fun, sassy, kind of clumsy but also very smart character that I couldn't help thinking of Dinah. |
