In September 2010, Simone wrote an episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold which featured the team in a leading role. Tropes for this iteration of the concept can be found in the article Birds of Prey (2002). The core of the team is Huntress (daughter of Batman and Catwoman, as per her pre- Crisis backstory), Dinah, a touch-telepath and the daughter of Black Canary, and Oracle (Barbara Gordon, forced to give up being Batgirl after becoming paraplegic).

The series served as the basis for a live-action TV series which took a different approach to things. Like many of the Rebirth titles, the new series was launched with the goal of hearkening back to the pre-New 52 version of the team, with the group now consisting of Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Black Canary and Huntress. In 2016, the title was relaunched as Batgirl and the Birds of Prey as part of DC Rebirth, with Shawna and Julie Benson as writers and Claire Roe as the artist. The series floundered creatively after Swierczynski left, and was cancelled at issue #34. A little over a year after the relaunch, it was announced that Strix, a former member of the Court of Owls would be joining the team. Huntress (now Helena Wayne, not Helena Bertinelli) has some connection to the team, though her adventures were detailed in her stand-alone miniseries and the Worlds' Finest ongoing series, with any connections to the Birds currently remaining a mystery. The New DC team is composed of Dinah Drake Lance (Black Canary, mother of previous star Dinah Laurel Lance), Tatsu Yamashiro ( Katana), new creation Ev Crawford ('Starling'), Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy), and Barbara Gordon (Batgirl). In September of 2011, Duane Swierczynski and Jesus Saiz took over creative control of the series with the company-wide New 52 relaunch. Gail's final issue was #13, released June 8, 2011, after which there was a two issue guest arc by Marc Andreyko, naturally featuring Manhunter. The title was revived in May 2010 under Gail Simone and Ed Benes, initially featuring a Brightest Day banner, with Oracle, Black Canary, Huntress and Lady Blackhawk back in Gotham and Hawk and Dove as new regulars. The separate characters were either transferred to other titles or quietly dropped from active publication and the final arc was left unresolved. However, soon after the location move the series was cancelled, along with the Nightwing and Robin titles, in the wake of Final Crisis and the death of Batman. Under Bedard's pen, the team moved to the new locale of Platinum Flats, where they were joined by the mysterious Infinity and focused on fighting the 'Silicon Syndicate'. Gail Simone eventually left the series and was replaced as writer by Sean McKeever and later Tony Bedard. Manhunter also became a regular during this period, supplemented by other heroes as needed. However, the rest of the team was filled in such a way that it seemed like any female character from The DCU might show up next.

This teaming persisted until Canary's departure, around the time of her marriage to Green Arrow, after which the Birds took on a more fluid line up with Huntress and Lady Blackhawk as senior field team leaders, and Misfit as regular Bird-in-training. When Gail Simone took over writing duties she introduced the Huntress, and several storyarcs later Lady Blackhawk to round out the core group, with heavy emphasis within the story that their family was just as important as their crime fighting adventures.
