BIRDS OF PREY: Rumor Has It That Black Canary Will Join The Roster But What About Poison Ivy?

David Ayer's plan for Gotham City Sirens was to have Harley Quinn team up with Poison Ivy and Catwoman but it appears as if Birds of Prey will put the spotlight on a more heroic roster. Check it out...

Yesterday, we heard that Birds of Prey may put the spotlight on Huntress but won't feature Catwoman. That points to the project being far removed from original plans for Gotham City Sirens, a movie which now appears to be dead. However, while we will still see Harley Quinn in this movie, it's being reported today that there have been no signs of Poison Ivy being included here at this stage in development. 

On the plus side, Omega Underground claims that Black Canary will be making an appearance despite the fact that rumours pointing to Lea Seydoux playing the character were recently debunked online. 


It's not really surprising that Birds of Prey will put the spotlight on female superheroes as opposed to anti-heroes/villains but there are bound to be some fans disappointed by the fact some characters aren't included, especially as there was a fair bit of excitement surrounding Gotham City Sirens once upon a time. How do you feel about the way this movie is shaping up, though? Sound off below.

Why is anyone even reporting on these rumours?

I love the DCEU so far (apart from Justice League) but these films are obviously not happening yet you all constantly make articles about this. We must have had every character in existence rumoured to have a movie it’s getting boring now

I don’t know how Catwoman and Poison Ivy not being part of the BoP team is news. Out of the two, only Ivy has been a long-ish term member before and even then that’s only recently

WB / DC only has three movies that we can count on.

Aquaman, Shazam and Wonder Woman 84

@Pantherpool - The odds of a WB/DC movie actually getting made are really SMALL :)

I think I've read every single Birds of Prey issue written since 1996. Ivy has been a member only for a few months. It was really good though, at the time she was more plant that human, with black glowing eyes. She joined to help defeat the Court of Owls, single-handedly torn apart a Talon and nearly died in the process, then betrayed the team to further her eco-terrorist agenda, despite the Birds welcoming her in the fold. You could see her being happy she could belong, but at the same time the plant side of her was driving her crazy. It ended-up with Batgirl forgiving her when she learned Ivy was dying. It was a pretty cool time for Ivy's character.

As far as Catwoman is concerned, she's never been with the Birds of Prey, except for one-shots where she guested in. I think the only time she's joined the team was in the Injustice comics. So putting any of them in the team will really just be fan service or crowd-surfng anyway. After all, Harley Quinn will be in it, and she's never been a Bird either, except, once again, in Injustice.

@Asturgis - Yeah but, here's the thing. People who are disappointed, don't really give that much of a sh!t about the Birds of Prey, as it relates to Harley Quinn. They wanted what was first reported. A movie that sees Harley interacting with the two female characters that she's most closely been tied to. So when they hear "Harley Girl Gang movie", they don't want superheroes that she'd likely be forced to work with, they wanna see the connection that she'd have with the more popular and mainstream Catwoman, and Poison Ivy.

@WAKANDABATMANFOREVER - What was first reported is the last thing I want, personally. I couldn't care less about a City Sirens movie, or about Harley Quinn. I'd like a real Birds of Prey movie, with Black Canary, Huntress and Batgirl, and either Manhunter, Hawkgirl or The Question (Renée Montoya) maybe Catwoman and/or Ivy, and no Harley [frick]ing Quinn, way in the future after the DCEU has sorted its shit out and the next Batman and Batgirl movies have been made.

Rumours-pinch of salt-dash of Worcester-served with a side of-hmm, if it is true that'd make sense, Canary is a member, Ivy is a Siren, still not sure why Harley is there, but we'll see. Should've gone the Batman TAS route, Mad Love, she leaves joins the Sirens, they then face of against the Birds of Prey, Mad Love~Gotham city sirens~Birds of Prey, they have their planning ass backwards. Hope they pull it together and do a good job.
