For those who don’t know, the Birds of Prey are a team of street-level female DC characters like Huntress and Black Canary. The film might also add Orphan, Cassandra Cain and Renee Montoya into the mix. A brutal crime lord named Black Mask is rumored to be the villain in the film.

The Birds of Prey team made its debut in 1995’s Black Canary/Oracle: Birds of Prey when Dinah Lance and Barbara Gordon shook hands, forming a large organisation of bird-themed heroes, mainly women.
