It looks like another DC Comics property will be making it onto the small screen this year, and this show really flies! Jordan Levin of The WB Network told <a href="http://www.cinescape.com">Cinescape</a> that fans can look for the new Birds of Prey show on the fall schedule. Furthermore, Levin, the network's president of entertainment, made a broader endorsement of comic-based projects appearing on the frog net.
"Take Birds of Prey, for example. We're starting to go into casting right now and are [eyeing a] fall premiere," Levin told Cinescape adding, "and there are some other properties that we’re playing around with, too."
But what about all those supposed scripts and character descriptions that have been looking out onto the net, an dhow they keep changing? Jordan Levin commented on that.
"I think it's important that it's accessible," Levin said. "I mean, I love comic books. I’m a comic book junkie, but that’s a niche form of storytelling. I think that for broadcast television you have to balance the ability to not alienate that audience, but also make it accessible and bring in a new audience. I think that Smallville is successful in that largely."
