I wasn’t the only dame in Gotham looking for emancipation. This is our story. And I’m telling it, so I’ll start where I fucking want. BirdsofPrey (2020) dir. Cathy Yan
female awesome meme ♡ (14/20) females in a movie → Dinah Lance “She was a damn good woman. The kind of woman who put everyone else’s lives before her own. And when she was found dead in the streets, where the fuck were you and your boys in blue then? And now you want to come and knock on my door and ask me to help you out? And make the same mistake she did? Yeah, good luck with that.”
I always like to know how and where the inspiration for characters come from. I create characters all day long. And I can create them from the simplest of things or events. So when new characters that play a somewhat large part in a story appear that obviously have a long history connected to each other, in this case Creote and Savant- I wanna know. How did they come to be?
I have a slight theory… I try to follow everything Gail Simone posts and says. I can’t follow her every post everywhere- I’m not a stalker- but I am a fan. I know she posted she originally had a concept for a Male Black Canary when she was first approached to write the Birds (which I’m not going to lie, I’m a bit obsessed with this concept of a Male Black Canary). I can’t help but wonder if Savant grew from some of the discarded seeds of the Male Black Canary. I definitely see a similarity, a blurred mirror image or inverse concept between him and Canary (as well as him and Oracle, but that’s another story).
