This is a great show. This product with its compact packaging is also great. You get 4 beautiful DVD's in a single DVD sleeve which fits into any DVD holder. My only compliant is there is not more of this show to purchase and watch.
Only one disappointment

The series just as i remember it. I was a big fan of the show (I'm a big batman fan and comics fan), and I'm glad this is finally on DVD. It was a little too teen drama for me (and i'm a smallville fan, so that's saying something) but i tuned in every week.
The only thing that ruins this DVD presentation was that Aimee Allen did the original theme song "Revolution" and it is NOT included on this collection. i guess she didn't want to be part of the show or release the rights or whatever legal mumbo jumbo. Which SUCKS cause it's a great song, and the theme song on the DVD just doesn't fit.
Nevertheless, the whole series is here, with a few pointless (read: boring) extras. If you liked the series, grab some popcorn and enjoy! I know that's what i did.
Good Show, Disappointing DVD Set

As others have commented, this DVD set is disappointing. Changing the theme song is bad enough, but the main insult to fans is the letterbox presentation. Sure, it's widescreen, but it's also non-anamorphic which means it will show with black borders on all sides on a HD widescreen display. You can zoom it, with loss of picture quality, if you are not using a digital connection or are willing to reset your player to a lower resolution. I really hate letterbox DVDs. I would give the show four stars but have to deduct for the poor choices made in producing the DVDs.
Fantastic Show but Short Lived

I was very excited to see Birds of Prey released on DVD as I've been waiting for quite some time! Seeing a show that features women as the lead characters is always refreshing and having this be a spin-off of the Batman, Cat Woman saga is quite creative! The special effects are eye catching and so is the Huntress, Oracle, and Reese (look out for that sauna scene where Reese is seen shirtless). I would recommend this series to those who like to see women fight, well let me say those with meta-human abilities, and a story line that keeps you quite hooked!

a bizarre mixture of old batman and modern action movies and serial tv series. the now common formula of 3 girls (red, blond, brunette)
also the modern techno video game mix of 1. fighter, 2. witch, 3. plugged in techno junkie. but then it unravels with the old batman villains, probably would have been better if it had fixated on new more complex villains, the acting seemed rushed, and the writing never really explained why the characters had such unbelievable mood swings, the mood swings seemed more like plot devices, but the fight scenes were fun, and most of the characters and scenery was easy on the eye. could have been more complex bad guy plots though.
