    Did anyone else see the "Birds of Prey" commercial that aired during Smallville?

    Am I the only one that saw this? At first I thought it was just an Onstar commercial, but when the spokeman began speaking... I immediately knew this was the BOP commercial. Wow...

    Re: Did anyone else see the "Birds of Prey" commercial that aired during Smallville?

    *sobs*Why is it that like, the one Smallville ep I miss actually has something good in it that I wanted to see?! Albeit I was at an Angel's game with my dad, that I wouldn't have passed up for anything, I would have LOVED to have seen that commerical, no matter how short it was. So how was it? But, this bodes well that if it's shown up once as a commerical during Smallville, it's bound to happen again.

    It was awesome.....but by awesome I personally only mean that it was awesome to see Batman and Gotham in a live action context again. Personally I don't really want the series, but at the same time will take anything I can get so I'm still anticipating it.

    Still, it looked great. They had some computer augmented shots of Huntress (no mask OR costume, arg ) jumping over rooftops, and before that they had some cool shots of Batman and Catwoman. I don't know who played them though, since I don't think that was Batman Returns footage, unless they just made it different looking or something.

    I saw it too!!

    And by god, despite myself I was wearing a huge cheesy grin on all the way thru and even tho it was only a 30 sec spot it said alot. It showed.......

    Catwoman-in the kind of stitched together costume that was in Batman Returns but fitted for the different actress

    then the Huntress, Ashley Scott in that scene from one of the three pilot downloads that's been circulating the net

    AND.....none other than the man himself

    BATMAN-in what was similar to his original movie costume in all it's glory (check this: despite what you've heard they indeed DO show the Dark Knights face in the show, although it happened way to fast and suddenly I couldn't make out what actor was playing him, but whoever he was sooo nailed it!!)

    and it showed them face to face almost kissing.....

    Right after I saw it I immediately went after a tape so I could record this ep incase they showed it again but no luck

    needless to say it was a VERY nice hint at what's to come and even more needless to say I'm more anxious then ever for this show to premier

    P.S. Barb, don't worry, it's a certainty they'll show it again soon

    P.P.S. Anyone who's a Bird of Prey and/or Batman fan will go grazy after seeing this promo (that means YOU Barb )

    Heh, that pretty much means everyone one of us at this forum

    Am I tagged as a BOP fan? . I'm definetly going to have my VHS tape all set to record for just about any Smallville ep, or any other WB show for that matter,just in case,lol. So they showed Huntress, cool, Catwoman, awesome, and Batman, kick arse. But no showings of Oracle, Black Canary or Mr.J? I would assume nothing of the Joker, save his laugh, would show up in a commercial till the pilot actually aires. Keep the suspense up and all.

    Sorry Bird Boy, those clips are a couple weeks old, even tho they might be new to you everybody on the nets probably seen em by now.

    There is one concern I have from the new commerical that aired last night and it's this......

    I saw that they decided on keeping the Huntress first meeting with Det Reese in the first ep. like one of the clips of the pilots show. But what I hope they do is for the love of god re-write, re-write, re-write!!! That scene is the intro of 2 major characters to each other and should be electric, as it was in the pilot it had the potential to be but still stunk majorly of cheese

    I'm not saying the writers and director don't know this and haven't completely reshot that scene to make it fit for broadcasting to our sensitive fanboy/girl eyes because the commercial didn't show all of it, but that scene stood out in my mind from the 3 clips I saw of the pilot that needed the most work.

    I'm sure they agreed

    yes, Yes, YES!

    I scared my sister half to death because I started hyperventilating.

    Call me slow, but I TOTALLY forgot about that show, and then, out of the blue, during one of the Smallville's I missed, I see this!

    ANYTHING with Catwoman, Batman, and shared offspring in it is worth the world to me.

    I actually thought they were just going to air Batman Returns on the weekend or something, but instead I get this!!

    YEAH BABY!
