![]() ![]() ![]() That's a skipper, unless you need a reminder that DCEU is dead, and DCEU killed it. Either way, Harley Quinn and the Bird of Prey is a corporate product existing because corporate execs at WB and DC didn't see the movie failing from a mile away, and wanted to cross-promote it. Or viewer, really, because a reader would notice how poor the story is. Birds Of Prey: Reviews, Release Date, Cast, And What We Know About DC's Harley Quinn Movie. ![]() Characters are expresive and look sympathetic, welcoming to the reader. Harley Quinn is back in the new DC team-up movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ewan McGregor. So good luck finding common audience for both of these! Artwork iss this comic's only saving grace. This is some 4th dimensional chess WB's been playing. Funnily enough, Conner and Palmiotti's writing targets, I presume, age group of 12-15, judging by the quality of dialogues and story, while the movie got R rating for reasons beyond my comprehension. It exists exclusively because someone ordered it, not because it has any purpose or interesting story to tell. The addition of Harley Quinn and Cassandra Cains Batgirl is giving the upcoming Birds of Prey title a very DCEU-inspired look. They got an order from corporate suits: "we make a flick with these characters, give 'em a comic as well", and that's what happened. Now imagine them doing the ssame to several other characters in this book, and yeah, you get the idea what we're dealing with here. Life's good sometimes, isn't it? The fundamental problem of the comic is, it's written by Palmiotti and Conner, who sure, may have brought Harley to new heights of popularity, simultaneously depraved her as complexity, turned her into a shallow gimmicky shadow of her past pre New 52 self. In theory it wouldn't be a bad idea, in practice, however, it all derails and crashes hard. DC decided to promote this trainwreck of a movie with a series loosely based on it. It clearly doesn't appeal to fans, so the only way to get to them is through what they love - which is comics. Damage control in form of quick name change won't help, when the main character's face looks like a detention desk, and the movie is as comic accurate as Halle Berry's Catwoman. This time it wasn't a tragedy - it was very much a farce, since WB made the very same mistakes as before, expecting different results, which as the saying says, defines insanity. Fast forward to 2020, WB released Birds of Prey, which bombed so hard in the box office, Middle Eastern ci vilians could confuse it for an American drone. One that basically solidified DCEU's status of a terrible, terrible franchise with no hope for the future. It was very much a tragedy for the DCEU, already hit hard by BvS' fiasco. You see, DC and WB failed with Suicide Squad in 2016 - a movie so bad, it has become a running joke despised by everyone and their moms, panned for its Hot Topic trailer trash aethetic, Joker and Harley having scribbles tattooed on their damn faces, and lack of any real script connecting (awful) scenes together. Karl Marx once said "history repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce", and it'd take special kind of "genius" to dissagree with that. ![]()
