Why didnt they just call it "Harley Quinn"? She's popular enough to carry a movie, and casual fans don't know Birds of Prey. I'm a casual Batman fan and had never heard of them. That's at the tippy-top of my "why?" list for sure. The other one being "If they wanted a Harley kicks ass with another girl movie, why did they not use this as the opportunity to do Thelma & Louise with Harley and Ivy?" Or have THIS be the Gotham City Sirens movie. It's probably a Robbie call as she apparently looked through a bunch of female led comics and said she wanted to do them... which is ok... but like this seems way more like a Harley movie.. Doubley so as I've said BoP has basically been Barbara's team and she appears completely absent from this movie.

It looks fine, I don’t know. Does some interesting things but I’d need to see more of it to know if I will see it.

I've seen people throw tantrums that Black Mask didn't have a mask on yet. Because I'm sure he'll look like this the whole movie, that's how superhero films work, alright. Nope, guys who wear masks that are melded onto their faces never, ever have that happen later in the film, and not from the get-go. To be fair, it's not like any of the other characters looked anything remotely like their comic book counterparts. So Roman Sionis without the mask just seems like more par for the course for costume design choices. I mean look at that thumbnail. Would you be able to tell who any of those characters are supposed to be without already knowing? Harley maybe but that's because she has the mallet.

Finally watched the trailer, pretty much what I expected it to be. Could be entertaining because of Robbie and McGregor, but don’t expect a well done Birds of Prey movie

Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn character was the worst thing about "Suicide Squad." And that's saying something, because there were countless items on the list of "worst things about 'Suicide Squad.'" But her character was right above "So, wait, what's the plot here?" and "Hold on, does the antagonist have a reason for doing whatever it is that they're doing?". So needless to say, the only part of this movie I'll be seeing were the two minutes it took me to watch that trailer. They should have focused on Slipknot,the man who can climb anything. That movie stunk.

That movie stunk. hey they needed him in case Superman turned evil they totally needed a guy that could climb things... because Superman can't uh.. climb... Also a crazy woman with a hammer and a man whose powers are guns would totally do something against him too >_> Suicide Squad was so dumb.

Wow... I’m usually a guy who’s entertained by not great movies by other people and critics standards. I dug Suicide Squad, minus Joker. I liked Batman Vs Superman. Usually any trailer for anything makes me at least consider seeing a movie at some point.
But this? This was a rough trailer.
I’ll still see it at some point because Margot Robbie... but maybe not a theatre trip.

I'm honestly not seeing what's so bad about the trailer. It's going for a quirky vibe, for sure, but I'm not sensing anything that off about it.

I like Suicide Squad and group it with DC movies that weren't terrible and I also love Margot's Harley. Though, thinking on it for a day, while I still have issues with this movie, and I mean a lot, I do think it could be a fun turn your brain off kind of film. Won't mean I won't nitpick the crap out of it afterwards but it at least has an identity, as weird and as dumb that identity is.

Nope, guys who wear masks that are melded onto their faces never, ever have that happen later in the film, and not from the get-go. Not entirely unfounded when nearly every character has that nice, early 2000's we're ashamed we're making a comic book movie so we're changing how everyone looks look to them to such a point they're unrecognizable if you had no idea who they were supposed to be beforehand. Like, I still had a moment when watching this where I was like "Where's Black Canary? ... Oh, right, that's Black Canary". Hell, Harley herself is practically unrecognizable compared to her most iconic look. The only difference is that folks have had a movie to get more used to this Harley (but I remember when the first looks of Robbie's Harley were released in the lead-in to Suicide Squad a lot of fans had the same reaction of " That's Harley? ...Uh..."). And I get it. Adapting outfits to live action can be hard, but there can still be a nice middle ground between the MCU's costumes and this where you still keep the essence of the characters intact and still make it so that comic books fans that know them can ID them if you don't want to try too hard. Is he going to get the mask? Maybe. News sources have heard rumblings he doesn't at all. Neither outcome (him getting the mask or him not) would shock me honestly. But I can understand concerns when that is the first proper look at the "Birds of Prey". You know, sans their most iconic looks, sans traits of their characters it seems (Cassandra), sans their leader seemingly (Oracle)...

This is the real Suicide Squad 2 in terms of awfulness

I’m really tired about hearing about Joker. The movie hasn’t even come out yet, but people are hyping it like it’s the best movie ever. Just feels a whole bit pretentious, and will probably be dark for the sake of being dark. While trying to have a paper thin social commentary.
This on the other hand looks fun.
Does it look great. No. But I enjoy Margaret Robby, Mary Elizabeth Weinstein, and Ewan McGregor. So I’ll be checking this out.

Given all the outfit changes, the trailer seems designed to jump-start the Harley Quinn cosplay industry.

Why didnt they just call it "Harley Quinn"? She's popular enough to carry a movie, and casual fans don't know Birds of Prey. I'm a casual Batman fan and had never heard of them. Because, putting her in league with other fan favorites makes us want her as a fan favorite too/makes her look strong?? This is how characters become The Scrappy.

Hasn't she been becoming that ever since they gave her the Roman Reigns push and said that she was just as smart and effective in combat as Batman?

I dunno about DC Comics readers, but for casual, regular people, they all seem to like Harley. Like even people I know who dont read comics know of and like her because of Suicide Squad. More so than the others who ive never heard of.
