Black Canary – The oldest member of the Birds of Prey based on her 1^st appearance, Black Canary is the only member of the BoP to debut in the Golden Age. Appearing alongside Hawkman and the original flash, Jay Garrick, the crime fighting songstress would make her 1^st appearance in Flash Comics #86.

The Huntress – One of Gotham’s many costumed vigilantes, Helena Bertinelli would make debut as a cameo in All Star comics #69 in 1977.

Renee Montoya – One of Gotham PD’s most popular detectives, Renee Montoya would work alongside the Dark Knight, starting in his own series with issue #475 of Batman in 1992.

And as always, every good superhero team needs a foil and for the film they’ve tapped longtime Gotham Mobster, Roman Sionis, better known as Black Mask, who debuted in Batman #386 in August of 1985.
