So I'm reading Entertainment Weekly's fall TV preview, and I come to the article on Birds of Prey.
All right. Big picture, three hot chicks in leather. Black Canary is wearing fishnets. This is good. I turn the page to read the story.
"Huntress (daughter of Batman and Catwoman)"
What? I check this out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yendi, and okay, that was the original Earth-2 Huntress' origin. Fine. But she's hanging out with Oracle, whose story seems to have survived intact as far as I can tell. So they've got an Earth-2 Huntress hanging out with Earth-1 Oracle. And there should be like a 30-year age difference, but they appear to be the same age. Okay.
"Dinah Lance, a 'metahuman' whose power is, well, as she puts it, 'touch-telepathic, which means I can touch you and see what you're thinking or see your past or your future.'"
And she's 17.
WTF?
Touch-telepathic? Black Canary? And asyendi puts it, Black Canary is a veteran, man. She's not a shy high-schooler who's never met another metahuman! Why are they calling this character Black Canary?
*sigh*
Just have to keep reminding myself. Dina Meyer (as Oracle) and Mia Sara (as, heh, Dr. Harleen Quinzel, Huntress' shrink). Dina and Mia. Show will be stupid. Girls will be hot.
