Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Slightly Frayed Birds of Prey
When I heard Bird's Of Prey was FINALLLY!!! cooming to DVD I rejoiced. But The end result is only slightly worthy. The show if you forgot is set in a day after tomorrow New Gotham. Old Gotham was destroyed in a quake. The heroine(s) of the Show is the wheel-chair bound Oracle (aka) BatGirl , The daugther of the Black Canary and Huntress, the daugther of BatMan and Catwoman as they fight a Metahuman of the week, while unknowingly foiling the plots of Dr. Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn who here is sinister but less maniac than her animated version. the show was known for a rocking Soundtrack back when the WB did such things.(Check out the CW). The Soundtrack is Lacking with bottom of their catalog replacements for the originals. The greatest removal is the show's rocking theme "(I'd Start a) Revolution" by Artist Aimee Allen and replaced with same generic songs plauging these DVD releases. the highlightson the set are the Unaired pillot and the entire run of the Gotham Girls webisodes.. If you loved the show it is worth the SALE price if you plan to get it. The show had a shot but it's a fun show in it's own way if you don't take it seriously.
Rating:  - Five Long Years
Finally, after five long years, this show was released on DVD. It actually seemed like it was going to be one of those shows that never sees the light of day once it was taken off the air, but it's back!
When it was on I didn't miss an episode, and now that I've gotten to go through it once more I still think it's great. Even though I'm a die-hard Catwoman fan (with the exception of that movie monstrosity) and she's dead in the series I still love it.
The only thing I have against it, really, is that the theme song in the credits just... doesn't fit the series in the slightest. But, that's easily skipped!
Rating: - Awesome show but short lived.
I have never even heard of this show until just recently when it was released on DVD. It sounded like it would be good so I went ahead and purchased it. I have to say that this is a great show that aparently didn't get the recognition that it deserved. I would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys this genre of TV show and even if you don't you should watch it anyway.
Rating:  - Good show, what happened to the soundtrack?
I liked the show, characters were well developed, decent writing. But why screw with the SOUNDTRACK?!?!?! Music set the mood and it is a real letdown when as mentioned in many other reviews for this release. WB can do better.
Rating:  - Birds of Prey Complete Series Review by The Massie Twins
A laughably bad lot of female lead characters introduces us to the world of New Gotham, where Batman has long since driven himself into exile, and new heroes must wage a war during the night. The 2002 TV show Birds of Prey features the further ideas of fighting crime in a city overrun with criminals, along with spinoffs of Batman's most famous accomplices and enemies. Terribly clichéd dialogue, poor special effects, superhuman abilities that defeat the power of Batman's admirable humanness, and second-rate acting all create a show that has befitting ideas and appalling execution.
Alfred (Ian Abercrombie) still faithfully watches over Batman's family, including the daughter he didn't know he had. After the death of Catwoman, who married Bruce Wayne, Batman has vanished, disenchanted with fighting evil when it continuously brings harm to his loved ones. The Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill) seriously wounds Batgirl (Dina Meyer), confining her to a wheelchair, causing her to take on the name Oracle and play the mastermind behind Gotham's vigilante defense. She takes in Helena Kyle (Ashley Scott), Batman's daughter, who takes up the role of a caped crusader known as The Huntress, and the two help to clean up the streets of the dangerous city.
Dinah Lance (Rachel Skarsten) has visions of Oracle and Huntress and knows that she must travel to New Gotham to find her destiny. She possesses Metahuman powers, like Huntress, which allows her to see events in the future (and eventually ... Read More
