"Gotham City Sirens" is a recent comic series from DC, which features Batman's stable of female baddies. Among them are the notorious Quinn, the once Batman love interest Catwoman and the evasive and toxic Poison Ivy.
The story of "Gotham City Sirens" was made by Paul Dini and Guillem March. The story is set after the Dark Knight is nowhere to be found, and the most elusive female criminals of Gotham have taken control of the city.
In an article by the Collider, DC's decision to keep Ayer is questionable since his recent "Suicide Squad" outing wasn't entirely praised by critics and fans alike. But, this could also be good for the new antihero DC film because the screenwriters and Director Ayer himself can learn from the mistakes they have incurred.
However, no matter how "Suicide Squad" was lambasted, DC still managed to pull off a gross of $745.6 million worldwide. Now that "Gotham City Sirens" has been confirmed, followers of the DC Extended Universe surely have their hopes up.
