BIRDS OF PREY UPDATE

Both the Huntress and Black Canary will be metahumans in The WB's Birds of Prey television series.

Ashley Scott plays Helena Kyle, the Huntress, who is the daughter of Batman and Catwoman. She is extremely athletic and can adjust her vision. Sent by the courts to deal with anger management, Helena is counciled by Dr. Harleen Quenzel, aka Harley Quinn.

Rachel Skarsten plays Dinah Lance, the Black Canary, whose powers are psychic. As a child she "sees" Barbara Gordon being shot by the Joker and seven years later travels to New Gotham to see "a couple of people I knew, or knew about, anyway."

Dina Meyer plays Barbara Gordon, aka Oracle, the former Batgirl left in a wheelchair by the Joker's shooting. She runs the Birds of Prey from a clocktower, with high-tech computer gadgetry.
