I wonder if the failure of Birds Of Prey is what put DC off trying to do something with their main universe female characters? Because that was a hugely under-rated show that suffered a lot from fanboys whinging about it not having Batman in.

I don't think any more than Catwoman and Elektra can still be blamed for the lack of female-led solo films? I mean it was over ten years ago by this point. Sadly I think it's more likely that Birds of Prey fell into the general category of female-led media being given less attention, promotion, less interest from a subconsciously sexist audience and more likely to have its failure blamed on the gender of the characters involved. :(

But since we finally seem to be out of the era of people mentioning how Catwoman and Elektra flopped every time a Black Widow or Wonder Woman movie is mentioned, I'm going to guess that the statue of limitations on blaming specific properties internally is a decade. :p
