6 Things The Birds Of Prey Movie Must Do

Like a lot of comic book characters, Black Mask has had various different versions inked onto the page since his debut. However, while some character’s designs have improved with time, there’s definitely an argument that Black Mask was better where it all began.

You’d imagine, based on everyone’s ages, that Huntress will not be Batman and Catwoman’s daughter here. That leaves the very uncomplicated tale of three women who can kick some ass. Black Canary’s power of screaming is the only superpower between them, and even that is hardly flight or fireballs.

To match that and give audiences the grit they’ve come to expect from DC, Black Mask should have no powers either. Since the New 52 revival era, Black Mask has possessed the ability to hypnotise through his mask. Strip that slightly silly idea away and you’re left with a master tactician, expert marksman and complete sadist who loves to torture victims. He even goes so far as to use toxins to make people’s faces shrivel up black.

This is a man who burned down his family home with his parents inside. Who carved his father’s coffin into his ebony mask. He needs no gimmicks, no powers. Just let him loose.
