Trivia

Helena is a bartender at the Dark Horse Bar. Dark Horse is the name of a popular comic book company that on occasion collaborated with DC Comics on special Batman publications.

Two years earlier, Dina Meyer has worked opposite Tom Hardy in Star Trek: Nemesis (2002). Tom Hardy later went on to play Bane in Christopher Nolan's Batman film The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

The character of Dinah was originally intended to be a revision of the comic book character Black Canary. Outcry from comic book fans contributed to the character being retooled to become the Canary's daughter instead (with the Black Canary herself making an appearance in one episode).

Why did they have to kill Catwoman?

In the comics, that was what led Helena Wayne to become the Huntress. In more recent years, however, the Huntress character was revamped as a different person altogther, and has no family ties to either Batman or Catwoman.

What's this business about Oracle walking?

Blame the network for that one. According to executive producer Hans Tobeason, WB had "issues" with Oracle and her chair (what's more, they tried to freeze her out of the show altogether by limiting her screentime.)

Where's Batman/Batgirl? You can't have a Batman show without Batman!

"Birds of Prey" is not about either Batman or Batgirl. The show is about Huntress, Dinah, and Oracle (who used to be Batgirl.) The title of the show -- "Birds of Prey" -- pretty much says it all.It is stated in the show that Batman disappeared after the Joker killed Selina. Bruce Wayne left the city and is in an unknown location, but he is still alive.
