AHC: Make the Birds of Prey TV Series More Successful

The way they did that in Under the Hood wasn't so bad.

still feel it was pointless no matter how well it was done and he was more useful dead and it's a HUGE middle finger to fans who voted to kill him in the first place, it takes a huge bite out of Batman's character and the Joker's to have him among the living
 
Given how Batman might have been active for decades (and had an affair with Catwoman during that time) and apparently Helena was elementary-school-aged when her mother was killed, it could be set in the present day or the very near future a la Dark Angel.

could have it be a spin off of the 1960s Batman, have old man Adam West playing retired Bruce Wayne :p

A vague near-future setting (not dates given, slightly more stylized versions of some items, etc.)

Here's something else:

Dump the "metahuman" plotline, which seems like an attempt to rip off the X-Men. Basically make it something like Batman Beyond--a kind of "Batman: The Next Generation," only with female protagonists.

You could have older versions of the classic characters--like the vengeful Harley Quinn or the no-longer-Batgirl Oracle--as well as new generations of troublemakers.

Yeah, that was my idea also.

Thanks for the endorsement. That could be a prequel/flashback episode arc, perhaps if Helena Kyle seeks out her father to find out what happened.

"Sit down, Helena. Let me explain..."

Then we have a two- or three-episode Batman show in the midst of a Huntress/Oracle show.

Even if Birds of Prey still fails, those episodes would probably be beloved by Batman fans.

For bonus points you could have Batman played by Kevin Conroy.:p
