* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: At the announcement that Birds of Prey was going to be relaunched with Gail as the writer.
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
* [[Internet Backdraft]]
** Before it was revealed to be a fakeout, the supposed deaths of {{spoiler|Savant and Creote}}. In the same arc, Black Canary's initial theory that White Canary was secretly [[Batgirl|Cassandra Cain]] did not go over well with many fans as she had already famously been turned evil in the past with disastrous results.
** Another was when Ryan Sohmer of ''The Gutters'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20130814094809/http://www.the-gutters.com/comic/127-tyler-walpole/ made a comment] about the series "constantly re-launching" and "hoping it would find an audience"... only it has been relaunched as an ongoing ''[[Did Not Do the Research|once]]'' (not counting a couple of mini series and one-shots before the first ongoing) and the initial run lasted over 10 years and 100 issues and gained a devoted fanbase who made the new series a bestseller when it relaunched. [[Flame War|You can guess how said fans reacted to being told they don't exist by Sohmer]], especially once Sohmer's [[lickspittle]] started fighting back. Sohmer did eventually admit that he was wrong.
* [[Les Yay]]: Canary/Oracle leans perilously close to canon sometimes, and (According to [[Word of God]]) was originally supposed to lean even ''closer'' than the finished product appeared. Black Canary was once supposed to refer to herself as "75% heterosexual," leaving the other 25% up in the air. Sadly, due to placeholder dialog and script confusion it wound up "heterosexual to the bone", to [[Gail Simone]]'s chagrin (it was not, as many speculated, due to [[Executive Meddling]]). [http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss175/galateus/comics/babsdinah-25uo2a0.jpg Observe]. This image even predates Gail Simone's run, being from the earlier [[Chuck Dixon]] years.
* [[My Real Daddy|My Real Mommy]]: Despite being created by Chuck Dixon, BOP is most associated with Gail Simone.
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
** Oracle has an eidetic memory. Normally this is pretty handy, but it also means she remembers being shot by [[The Joker]] as if it was five minutes ago. See also the entry on [[Driven to Suicide]].
** Also, the reveal of the [[Big Bad]]'s identity at the end of issue 12 of the relaunch: {{spoiler|Junior}}. Anyone who's read ''[[Secret Six]]'' will understand why that name is so pants-wettingly terrifying, made worse by the fact that enough hints are dropped before [[The Reveal]] that those who have read it will probably at least have an idea, even if not consciously.
* [[So Okay
