![]() Unfortunately, I do feel that in their attempt to appeal more to the female masses, they have lost a lot of what makes Harley Quinn Harley-fucking-Quinn.Īnd whilst the other characters are likeable enough, most of them felt a little one-dimensional and not the memorable, although to be fair I did spend most of their time on screen comparing them to other iterations that I’ve seen in DC’s TV adaptions such as Gotham and Arrow. Margot Robbie delivers another quirky and delightful performance as the batshit crazy psychiatrist-come-villainess, and I do really like the fact that you get to see more of her education coming through. Whilst I appreciate the sentiment, there is something that I find distinctly off putting in an eye-rolling ‘here we go again’ kind of way, about forcing the whole ‘Girl Power’ thing without a strong story to back it up, and unfortunately with the exception of some genuinely funny comedic moments, the plot driving the film forward is just bland and uninspired. In order to protect Cass and, her own life, Harley Quinn teams up with police detective Renee Montoya, Helena ‘The Huntress’ Bertinelli and Dinah ‘Black Canary’ Lance to take Black Mask down.Īlthough Birds of Prey is quite strong visually, with a brighter, more colourful depiction of Gotham than we’ve ever seen before, the story itself lacks focus or depth. In an act of self-preservation, Harley makes a deal with Sionis to recover a stolen diamond from young street pickpocket, Cassandra ‘Cass’ Cain, but Sionis enjoys a game almost as much as he hates Harley so he puts a bounty on Cass’ head and Gotham’s criminals come out to play. ![]() Unfortunately for her, this also means the loss of his protection and I think it’s fair to say that she has pissed a fair few people during her time as the Joker’s puddin’, leading the proverbial pack is the eccentric and ambitious Gotham crime lord Roman Sionis aka Black Mask. Taking place shortly after the events of Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey sees Quinn coming to terms with her painful break up with the Joker.
