That said, it would be incorrect to say that Birds of Prey is entirely inconsistent with the characters it features when it comes to the violence on show. That’s not to say that there weren’t moments that would have read as more violent and gory on screen than on the comic book page - the abstraction of artwork allows for someone being shot by a crossbow to read as more sanitized than it might otherwise appear, after all. It wasn’t just Black Canary, leading martial artist, who fell into this trap Lady Shiva, officially the most deadly fighter in DC’s comic book universe, was briefly part of the team, and she also didn’t significantly up the violence quota.
#BIRDS OF PREY RATING SERIES#
For the first 24 years of the property’s comic book existence, the series was not especially more violent than any other superhero comic book, and far more tame than many when it came to the level of damage felt by the various heroes and villains it featured, despite repeatedly featuring characters whose reputations relied on just how dangerous they reportedly were. In three of its four primary comic book incarnations to date, DC’s Birds of Prey has been a franchise that certainly offered a lot of action, but action that was closer to a PG-13 rating than anything too graphic. Yet, it’s also not totally in keeping with the comic book canon that inspired Birds of Prey - well … not entirely.
