birds and sirens | dc ladies

Watch in HD, pls.

In the light of recent news about plans to make a birds of prey/gotham city sirens movie, here's a little something I made. I used Jena as Barbara because that has been the rumour ever since we knew she was going to be part of the DCEU, but let me explain my other casting choices: I'd usually go with Yvonne Strahovsiki or Katheryn Winnick as Dinah/Black Canary but I thought they would look a bit old opposite to Jena's Babs, my first choice for a younger Dinah would be Amber Heard but we already know she's going to play Mera in Aquaman, so I went for Teresa Palmer instead. Holland Roden as Poison Ivy was more about convenience than anything, because I knew she had scenes I could use to make it work. Morena Baccarin as Selina Kyle though, has been my dreamcast all along, I know she's in Marvel/FOX already, playing Vanessa in Deadpool and a part of DC universe as well in Gotham, but I don't care, she was born to play Catwoman! And she would be brilliant opposite to Affleck's Batman.

I really, really hope DC embraces Margot's project because I'd love to see all these kickass ladies teaming up or fighting each other. Birds of Prey and Gotham City Sirens were two of my favorite titles.
