The one and only Birds of Prey

swatkat+ Gail Simone wrote an episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold featuring Huntress and Black Canary, so of course I had to check it out. It was ridiculous fun, and even though Batman shouldn't have been able to out-punch Canary like that, I'm not really complaining. The best part?
I haven't been able to stop singing 'No one does it better than the Birds of Prey' ever since I heard it. I have NO IDEA how they got away with that much innuendo, ahaha. Aquaman has a tiny little fish! Flash finishes too fast! Batman has a shiny utility belt!
After watching the episode, I realised that this is the DCAU and Babs is still Batgirl, but in my secret BoP head-canon, this totally happened and Babs laughed and laughed, until Huntress threatened to shoot her with her crossbow.
ETA: A couple of hilarious screencaps:
Yes, that's a tank full of sharks. Even looking at it gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Maybe after the current SRS BZNS BoP arc is over, we can have some campy fun like this.
+ I caught last week's Nikita afterwards, and okay, I really liked this episode. General stupidity notwithstanding, I liked Jill, I liked that Nikita had many Bedchel-passing conversations with her and that she lived to tell the tale. Maggie Q's Nikita is growing on me, I think. I wish I could say the same for Shane West's Michael, although he was less intolerable in this episode. I loved Pyro, er, Birkoff's interactions with Amanda, he even made Percy likable for a moment! We'll not reflect on how or why Alex was able to send information to Nikita while standing right next to Birkoff, or why no one thought to send Birkoff for a full-body scan after being captured by Nikita, because, well, general stupidity. But yeah, enjoyable episode nonetheless. I'm enjoying the presence of so many women. The diverse cast is a nice bonus.
