'Birds of Prey' casts Black Canary and Huntress but still no sign of Gotham vigilante, Batman

Either the caped hero would have to be sent off with the Justice League or the Harley Quinn spinoff has to be set in a pre-Suicide Squad era.
PUBLISHED SEP 26, 2018

Warner Bros seems to have put together a team, who will join Margot Robbie in the all-female ensemble flick, 'Birds of Prey.' Picking up after the anti-heroine Harley Quinn (Robbie), the studio was believed to be adding more characters from the comics to the film's growing roster - and if latest reports are any indication, DC might have already found its Black Canary and Huntress. 

 But, sorry 'Arrow' fans, its neither Katie Cassidy nor Caity Lotz. 

Keeping with their previous casting trend, as seen with 'Justice League,' the superhero movie franchise seems to have gone completely out-of-the-box by choosing actresses Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bell for the iconic roles. While Winstead (of fame 'Fargo' and '10 Cloverfield' Lane) takes on Huntress, 'Underground' star Smollett-Bell will be filling in the shoes of Black Canary aka Dinah Lance - a character made famous by The CW's Arrowverse.
