So, I'm a big dork and have been watching the old Birds of Prey TV show that lasted one season in 2002.
Has anyone watched this?
It's actually been entertaining and I wish there was more of it to watch. You just have to get past the early aughts special effects and hair/fashion choices. In fact, starring as it does three crime-fighting women, I think it's about ready for a reboot now that superhero shows are all the rage, yeah?
In the original, none of the main characters were overtly queer, but that could easily be remedied in a reboot. At the same time, the queer-baiting/subtext was pretty off-the-charts. A reasonable viewer could interpret Barbara (Oracle) and Helena (Huntress) as a couple, with Dinah being their adopted daughter.
Alternatively, Helena and Dr. Harleen Quinzel (Harley Quinn) were definitely an item.
Check out this over-the-top scene from the finale, featuring two 100% hetero women interacting with each other in a completely hetero fashion.
