Product Information

Even Evil Has Standards: Though she has general contempt for concepts like "criminal honor," which usually just lead to only more death for no good reason, Huntress admits that at least the Mafia left families and, especially, children alone. Whatever they did to each other, for whatever stupid reasons, at least children were kept out of the way. Oracle was originally an Internet Urban Legend, spoken of in chat-rooms and forums without much credibility, but over time has become a famed Internet celebrity known to heroes, villains and the general population. This has led to some problems, as she is supposed to be a mysterious legend. The Golden eagle eclipses most raptors in terms of sheer size and weight. Golden eagles live in Scotland, primarily in the Highlands and on the Scottish islands, but there are plans to reintroduce them in Wales and Northern Ireland. In 2016, there were an estimated 500 breeding pairs of Golden eagles in Scotland, and their populations are gradually climbing.

Reed Richards Is Useless: The "Silicon Syndicate" seems to have realised that most of the rest of the super-community is even more useless than Mr. Fantastic, and they decided to exploit that. By reverse-engineering supervillain technology for resale they have managed to take complete control of Platinum Flats, the high-tech capital of the world, and now generate a revenue greater than most countries. Those five tardy ships, still straggling across the Ocean of the Indies, must round the Cape before the southeasterly trades fell away and the wind turned foul into the north-west. That would be soon. Laser-Guided Amnesia: Issue #8 of the relaunch discusses when Oracle and Calculator dueled within their minds in issue #12 of the Batgirl (2009) series. Oracle mentions here that, as the Calculator inevitably imagined his own mind as a computer, she was able to delete the files that contained her true identity, removing that information from his memory. However, it seems that this action has resulted in currently-unspecified damage to his mind that he believes is going to prove terminal.DC's New Comic Book Series 'Birds of Prey' is Unveiled!". DC.

Nigh-Invulnerability: Hawk and Dove are the physically strongest of all the Birds, and Hawk once put himself in a helicopter with the express intention of it being blown up.

[23] Two months prior to the title's cancellation, Simone left the book after issue #13.

He shouted to his piper, who stood at the ready, ‘Give Sir Francis a tune to remember us by!’ The stirring strains of ‘Farewell to the Isles’ carried across the water to the Lady Edwina, as the Buzzard’s topmast men clambered like monkeys high into the rigging, and loosed the reefs. The Gull’s top-hamper billowed out. The main sail filled with a boom like the discharge of cannon, she heeled eagerly to the south-easter and pressed her shoulder into the next blue swell, bursting it asunder. Left Hanging: The final arc of the series before its cancellation in 2009, dealing with the Silicon Syndicate in Platinum Flats, was dropped when the series ended and was not followed up in either the characters appearances in other comics or when the series returned in 2010.

Retrieved 24 June 2008.When the team moves to Platinum Flats they are greeted with outright hostility by the populace and local law enforcement, who explicitly blame the rising number of super-crimes, and the increased crime-rate in general, on the arrival of the Birds.

A new Judomaster appears for the first time in this series, later becoming a member of the Justice Society of America.

That leads me to my biggest complaint about the issue, which actually takes shape in two ways. The first is the way Dinah is “convinced” by Cassandra to consider Harley for the team. Are we really supposed to believe Harley could take Cassandra in a fight? And are we really supposed to believe Dinah would trust Harley with her own sister’s fate because of one encounter Cassandra had? Again, this choice felt forced. The second complaint about Harley is probably the most obvious one — once she showed up this basically could have been called Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey. It was all Harley, all the time. And the bad kind of Harley. They Harley that has no self-reflection or filter. DC is using Harley as much as they can across various media and her inclusion here felt like a means of getting sales for this book more than anything else. Teleporter Accident: Misfit's teleportation powers are extremely advanced (see Required Secondary Powers above), but she cannot bring any living being with her when she "bounces". If she tries, the other being explodes after transport. Screams Like a Little Girl: Huntress recognizes that when the Calculator screams like a little girl after a few scratches he erases the respect and fear that he used to keep his henchmen in line. Secret-Keeper: Barbara eventually reveals to her father her activities as Oracle, which stunned him greatly but also made him very proud. However, when she then goes on to reveal that she used to be Batgirl he explains that that part he already knew. Gail Simone has revealed that her Brave and the Bold will feature a reference to Catman, Huntress' on-again/off-again boyfriend from the Secret Six (which, incidentally, is also written by Simone).
