5 reasons DC should greenlight a Birds of Prey sequel
1. A chance to see the team work together
Birds of Prey followed the typical team-up style. All of the characters were largely separated from one another. And if there were interactions, it was either the start of a relationship or a confrontational reaction.

It wasn’t until the third act that audiences got to see the heroines team up and work together as a unit. The end of the movie even showed a brief glimpse of the team, which consists of Black Canary, Renee Montoya and Huntress (all sporting new outfits).
A sequel would give the audience a chance to see how this team would really work together. There were small glimpses of these team dynamics, such as Huntress being socially awkward due to her growing up solely focused on revenge.
Canary and Montoya have some sort of connection with allusions to Dinah’s mother, who Montoya may have known in the past. Another film would give the audience a chance to learn understand these characters on a deeper level and learn different things about them, like Canary’s metahuman abilities.

Because of Montoya’s knowledge of those powers, she directed Dinah to use them to open up a path for Harley to get Cassandra back from Sionis. Her being aware of her abilities was even alluded to during their first meeting. But did Montoya actually know Dinah’s mother? Also, Dinah doesn’t appear to have full control over her powers since she immediately passes out after a Canary Cry. Is the Canary Cry a double-edged sword, or is it something Dinah can master and use in a fight?
More interactions among the Birds of Prey would be a welcome sight that should be seen in a sequel.
