Dinah (Rachel Skarsten) definitely
has displayed precognitive abilities, the pilot spends a good bit of time on the
more realistic aspects of their relationships.<br> <br>Ian Abercrombie has a
slightly-longer-than-a-cameo scene as Alfred, who is maintaining Wayne Manor in
hopes of Bruce Wayne’s eventual return, and in hopes that his daughter might
want to move up to the family abode. Batman wasn’t only Batgirl’s partner, he
was Helena Kyle’s father. (The old DC Earth-II fans saw this one
coming).<br> <br>The pilot does an intriguing job of setting up their world,
pitting them against a foe, foreshadowing the recurring menace of Harley Quinn,
who as it turns out is a pretty nasty short of shrink. <br> <br>The loss of
Sherilyn Fenn is no loss for the series. Physically she was perfectly cast, but
her wooden performance was the weakest in the pilot. She reportedly bowed out
because she couldn’t commit to the recurring appearances, but replacing her with
Mia Sara (<i>Ferris Bueller’s Day Off</i>) is a great piece of work (or luck)
for the show.<br> <br>The only truly irritating item for fans of the comics is
this: Why ”New Gotham” and not just ”Gotham” or ”Gotham City?” It’s a typical,
silly Hollywood-knows-best kind of change. <br> <br>Otherwise, while some comic
book purests will no doubt be up in arms, this show should be given a chance to
work. It has great potential and could open the world of comics to a lot of new
readers. Onward!<br><br></div>

at the beginning of the age of female action heroes, but it’s already clear that
just as audiences tired of over-the-top unrealistic male action heroes, they’ll
probably do the same with their female counterparts. Dina Meyer’s Barbara comes
across as very human, a formerly active participant now trapped in a wheelchair,
with all the frustrations one would expect to come with it. While
Helena/Huntress (Ashley Scott) is a meta-human with some powers and Dinah
(Rachel Skarsten) d
