This week's episode left the show's future up in the air. There is no word of the series' renewal and the episode wrapped up all loose ends in New Gotham City, but Wednesday night's show was billed as a season finale, not a series finale.

"I know how much you all have enjoyed the show," Meyer wrote. "I enjoyed working on it. We will all miss it. However, on a lighter note, I am looking forward to using my legs on the next project."

The WB will likely air a two-hour finale to its cancelled Birds of Prey series that will wrap up many storylines and change the lives of the main characters forever

The WB hasn't officially canceled the show yet, but it hasn't extended the show's order beyond the original 13 episodes either

As of today, only CBS' "Robbery Homicide Division" and the WB's "Birds of Prey" remain in real danger of imminent cancellation.

Not only is Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar expected to hang up her wooden stakes at the end of this season, but, since the WB has grounded Birds of Prey, tonight's episode will be one of the comic-book drama's last

the WB is clipping the wings of Birds of Prey, its next-generation Bat show, after just 13 episodes.

Birds of Prey, based on the DC Comics series of the same name, has seen its audience drop by nearly half from its blockbuster premiere

Her fight scenes are well done, her attitude is believable and she is damn hot to boot

A "Buffy"-esque buzz in a very competitive time slot may help it take flight for a full season.

Father History is not likely to think of the WB's Birds of Prey as so cute and endearing.

'Birds'' is certainly more fun than the soap opera of ''Smallville''

It's nothing like the rich gloomy Gothic lunacy of a Tim Burton "Batman" movie. But it has a certain pep in the step and jauntiness in its "girl power" fighting trio

the past may prove richer and more interesting than either the generic butt-kicking or trademark WB family angst

By redefining herself as Oracle, she's a much more powerful character that she would have been if she hadn't been shot.

She plays Barbara with a fierce determination, aptly representing a person refusing to cave in to her limitations

Birds of Prey tells the story of a new generation of superheroes with a pretty impressive pedigree

Barbara and Helena keep not only their identities but also their crime fighting activities a secret

I've never been a comic book fan, but now I'm really starting to get into the storyline.

it's still one of the most exciting series to premiere this season, and it's certainly one which anyone with an interest in well-directed, action-packed television drama will enjoy.

I predict this to be a show along with “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” “Enterprise,” and “Alias” to be analyzed by geeks on a weekly basi

Alfred always brings a sense of warmth and humanity to any Batman-esque story

The look of the show is very cinematic and yet very much like a live action comic book complete with kick-ass fights sequence

The emphasis is on the visual here: fancy-shmancy camera work, dim lighting and shadows and occasional black-and-white sequences along with the high kicks and tight-fitting costumes.

The show's look is sleek, but all the Batman mythology seems like little more than yet another way to repackage WB angst.

What it doesn't have is a lot character development, beyond stating what each character's motive is for fighting crime.

watching this re-edited edition of the same episode, I couldn't help but feel disappointed.

What makes it work is a textured feel to New Gotham, a brooding mood, unexpected wit and good old-fashioned comic book sensibilities. Plus the leather and spandex.

A trio of attractive women kicking butt has been the basis for a number of television shows, but the premise tends to work best when it's played in a lighthearted vein.

"Birds" presents a Gotham from which Batman has vamoosed after the Joker's murder of Selena Kyle (aka Catwoman) and shooting of Barbara Gordon (aka Batgirl), who is left a paraplegic.

Dark and broody though it is, "Birds of Prey" has its lighter moments, usually in the form of a Huntress quip.

Batgirl a.k.a. Barbara Gordon a.k.a. the Oracle is in a wheelchair; Helena a.k.a. the Huntress is in therapy; and Dinah is in training to be as physically adept as she is mentally.

if you think of them as offering a cross between "Dark Angel" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," you've got a good fix, as long as you don't expect the witty wordplay of "Buffy."

Loosely based on the DC Comics, "Birds of Prey" isn't faithful to the comic book series, which may piss off the nerds, but it may be too, well, comic-booky for the average viewer.

"The show is 'Birds of Prey.' It's not 'Birds of Prey and Batman.' It's New Gotham

Thankfully, “Birds of Prey” does not have the campy features of the classic 60s version of “Batman.”

With Batman out of the picture, these distaff crime fighters are all that stands between Gotham and chaos.

...they do their perp-busting while wearing to-die-for duds that are better suited for bar-hopping than leaping tall buildings in a single bound.

"Smallville" is mostly hopeful and upbeat, because we know the cast's future. "Birds of Prey" is the opposite, because the future just happened, and everyone's still reeling from it.

We're all individuals in the show, even though we're an ensemble, which I think is great, and you see the development of all our characters and our chemistry together.

... it has enough guts to dive deep into emotional waters, balancing action and moxie with stories that, overall, are basically relationship driven.

this is a marriage of graphic novels and hot supergirls, as Catwoman, Batgirl and Oracle team up to battle the Joker and other twisted baddies in New Gotham.

''I couldn't breathe in my costume, much less fight! I mean, things were falling out of that thing!''

"There's such a huge fan following. I want to do right by them. I don't want to let them down"

Three comely female superheroes team up in New Gotham (a.k.a. Gotham City) 10 years after Batman disappears.

I never want any of us to be a size zero, trying to kick ass. I want this to be a positive, empowering experience for any girls who watch it.

Sara first hit the scene in the mid-'80s in such films as "Legend" and the teen classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

Unlike "Smallville," "Birds of Prey" is just…awkward. It wants to be so many things, and it comes up short on all of them.

Skarsten says stopping slapshots helped steel her for the intense audition process.

If they can keep the tone and characterization up on a week to week basis then this is going to be a very cool thrill ride.

Birds of Prey, the latest TV adaptation of a comic book, provides a mixed bag of characters from Batman's Gotham City, now dubbed New Gotham.

I was pleasantly surprised by the way the pilot drew on DC universe concepts, especially the ever-controversial "Batman = Urban Legend" paradigm, which makes a lot more sense in the cop-show-feelin' world of the show than it does in the DCU on a week-in, week-out basis.

Birds of Prey, which will follow Dawson's Creek on Wednesday night, is based on the DC Comic of the same name, and features three sexy female crime fighters

By far the best casting was Dina Meyer as Batgirl/Oracle/Barbara Gordon who looked absolutely gorgeous playing a brilliant, responsible and yet introverted Barbara.

All three leading actresses are more than up to what the pilot demands of them, and all show the potential to give more across the series.

"Birds of Prey," which could develop into a companion for "Smallville," is the latest fantasy project for The WB.
