What happens

Birds of Prey is an American superhero television series that was developed by Laeta Kalogridis. The series aired on The WB from October 9, 2002 to February 19, 2003 and is loosely based on the DC Comics series of the same name. The series takes place in a Gotham City abandoned by Batman. The initial trailers for the series and its opening credits used footage of Michael Keaton (as Bruce Wayne / Batman) and Michelle Pfeiffer (as Selina Kyle / Catwoman) from Batman Returns. The suits from the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher Batman films were used (albeit repainted) in the series. Additionally, artwork featuring the Burton incarnations of Batman and Catwoman was commissioned to promote the series as a TV Guide cover, but ultimately went unused, as the show was cancelled before the artist finished the piece. The series debut garnered ratings of 7.6 million viewers (at the time, the network's largest premiere in the 18–34 demographic), but the series was canceled after ratings fell sharply in subsequent weeks. Thirteen episodes were produced and aired in total. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
