Margot Robbie's "Birds Of Prey" (DC) Official Thread

[ColdSlither]

well if anything wb will realize that putting a joker character into a movie does not mean $$$ they still have to try.

it makes me wonder if they'll make any drastic changes to the universe since this flopped.
part of me wonders if its superhero fatigue but i highly doubt it. I'll wait till black widow releases to see if my theory is true.

Nah, it’s not super hero fatigue. WB messed up by not making this PG-13. Then by making it rated R, and not making good use of it. This should have been funnier and raunchier. It’s a cartoon, but I love the Harley Quinn show on DC Universe. This movie has none of the charm, wit, humor and personality that show has. That show also respects its supporting cast. This movie, it feels like the supporting cast got the short end of the stick in character development, to keep them from outshining the star.

if it didn't have the marvel logo attached to it it would not have made that billion.
I love marvel but it's true.

While that movie made money, Captain Marvel was never popular. Not even Mar-Vell. That title had always had trouble finding an audience, and stayed on the brink of cancellation. The only thing that made Captain Marvel popular, was killing Mar-Vell.

I won’t deny that’s true or false.

But with that said, the reason I think that take is invalid and should be thrown out cuz the same can be absolutely said about majority of any of these comic book movies and I won’t even name names cuz coming from me.... the truth tends to hurt some people’s feelings.

But that can be applied to some of your other favorite comic book movies

Hell even the ones that bombed would’ve did worst if it didn’t have the logo.

I will name a neutral one.

Let’s say Dark Phoenix didn’t have the Marvel/Fox logo.

That movie probably does Max Steel numbers

Joker is different, because him braking up with Harley opens the floodgates. And he can’t be that much of a bogeyman, if Black Mask is making all these moves to take over the Gotham City underworld. Harley also isn’t small time. She may have killed Robin. Or at least helped out. Batman is going to make time for her. Plus he patrols every night. He’s also going after small time crooks. He doesn’t discriminate between big and small time. The general safety of Gotham, and stopping other Joe Chills, is the mission and it never ends. And to repeat myself, she blew up a major chemical plant. That has all kinds of implications. So he should have at least been mentioned.

Batman doesn't fukkwith Harley too much, except for when she's with the Joker. She pretty much has free reign over Gotham. She's viewed as a perpetual joyrider. And Black Mask, as well as the underworld are always allowed to get their money in Gotham. It's when it gets out of control, innocents hurt, or gang war, when Bats intervenes. But they are allowed to regulate themselves.

But I liked this movie. It's hella fun. Of course, the are gripes with "Birds of Prey" involvement, or Cassondra Cain (Batgirl/Orphan) characterization, but overall it was enjoyable.

@ 10 people in Harlem watching this in the theater I’m in

I've never cared one iota about Harley Quinn. never found her remotely interesting.. until her recent R-rated cartoon show came out a few weeks ago. That's the best depiction of Harley ever, and i think would be a great cinematic conversion.

Mind you, the main difference of the show is that it's not "grounded" ... it's actually very comic booky... except extremely/hilariously dark and R-rated. The cast of character's aren't all women, but consist of Poison Ivy, Clayface, an 8 foot talking shark, a misogynistic midget telepath/telekinetic, and a talking man-eating plant voiced by JB SMoove. Plus cameos by a shyt ton of other DC villains.

So it's not a girl power trip but Harley and Ivy's friendship is at the heart of it and all the other characters are charismatic, stand-out'ish, and fukking hilarious. It's what i would envision a dceu "Deadpool" equivalent movie to be.

They should have made a Harley & Joker film first then done Birds of Prey, This movie was average at best.

If you didn't want batman in this then at least have Nightwing or Bat Girl (for the all female horseshyt) show up.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Well, at least they have Wonder Woman coming up

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Will Smith carried Suicide Squad

Damn shame he didnt get the solo film

Carried and was the sole reason for that film getting an Oscar

 

[Hejdå]

Just got out. T'was ok.

I like how they kept playing around with Huntress's name. Black Mask was kinda cool too. That's about it.
