Mythology Gag
 Birds of Prey (2023) (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: While she's been affiliated with the Birds before, Cassandra Cain's never officially been a member of the team in the comics (Gail Simone wanted her on the team in her run, but was denied). Her presence here pays homage to her role in Birds of Prey (2020). Similarly, Harley's presence on the team likewise pays tribute to her role in the same film. Kelly Thompson has confirmed that Nick Bradshaw's variant cover for the first issue is an intentional homage to Brian Steelfreeze and Greg Land's cover to the very first Birds of Prey issue in 1999. While tying up and gagging a pair of Amazonian guards in issue #3, Harley jokes that they'll probably enjoy it when they wake up since she's heard Amazons love bondage, a nod to the infamously kinky Golden Age Wonder Woman comics by William Moulton Marston.

The Dreaded
 Birds of Prey (2023) (Comic Book) / int_2ae29c0d
comment
The Dreaded: The primary reason the mission to Themyscira requires stealth is that the Birds don't want to have to face Wonder Woman should the Amazon princess be alerted of their presence on Themyscira. In issue #3, Barda expresses that she has little confidence she can take on Diana and when Wonder Woman does confront the team at the end of the issue, Dinah appropriately panics.

Older Than They Look: Zealot has been around for so long that she once managed to visit Themyscira before it went into centuries of isolation. When one of her teammates asks just how old she is, she simply responds "old".

 Birds of Prey (2023) (Comic Book) / int_35543514
comment
Just Eat Gilligan: Discussed in issue #2 when Harley asks why Dinah can't just talk to Wonder Woman about the issue at hand instead of risking sneaking onto Themyscira. Dinah explains that while Diana is reasonable and kindhearted, if she were to say no, there'd be zero chance at that point of recovering Sin, since any element of surprise would be gone, which in turn would seal the fate of the Amazons as a whole.

Everyone Has Standards: For all of Harley's... checkered morality, and despite not appreciating how Dinah acted like she was doing her a favor by recruiting her, Harley still agrees to join up when Dinah admits that she's forming the team to rescue her little sister, because Harley doesn't like people who kidnap kids. Despite Zealot's reputation as a Blood Knight, she agrees not to kill the Amazons, and even takes special measures so that nobody on Themyscira will die if she loses control of herself during the mission.
