While comics movie fans are dissecting evaluations of Joker, the next DC film features a character who, previously, was inseparable from him. The new trailer for Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) shows exactly how the titular character lives a Joker-free life. We understand from set pictures of the Harley Quinn movie that it appears the Joker throws her out, forcing her to deal with a world without her “Mistah J.” Yet, in spite of exactly how unfortunate she appeared to be, the very first Birds of Prey trailer highlights that this advancement liberates her. In fact, we don’t even discover the names of any type of of the supporting characters, i.e. the “Birds of Prey.” instead we just see glimpses of Rosie Perez’s Renee Montoya, Jurnee Smollett-Bell’s Black Canary, Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Huntress, as well as Ella Jay Basco’s Cassandra Cain.
We likewise get to see Chris Messina’s Victor Zsasz as well as we even hear the American accent Ewan McGregor utilizes for his turn as Roman Sionis. Sionis is understood as Black Mask in the comics, however it appears that McGregor won’t be covering up that handsome deal with for anyone. since Sionis will apparently be the DC movies’ very first LGBT character, it almost makes sense not to cover up his deal with with a mask. Though, if you look at the footage carefully, we don’t get a great deal of scenes with McGregor. It’s possible that something occurs while dealing with (pun intended) the Birds of Prey, which we don’t see in the trailer. This means he might don his iconic black skull mask before the final act of the film.
The Birds of Prey Trailer Makes the film seem like the Anti-Joker movie Some Want
There is a great deal of turmoil surrounding the Joker movie, which we will discuss at length in a future post. One disagreement is that Joker represents a troubling type of uniquely male fragility that feeds into a culture that promotes dislike as well as violence. true or not, there is no concern from the very first Birds of Prey trailer, that this film is 100 percent the opposite. For those upset at the altering deal with of geek culture, e.g. those who introduced the backlash against the Batwoman trailer, this film seems designed to rage them. It’s unapologetically about female empowerment (of a type). But, if it were a group of guy getting together to go on a harrowing, however funny experience (like, say, in The Hangover) we’d not bat an eye.
One of the most insidious myths about comic book culture is that it was the haven of just outcast, lonely men. Sure, they had a location there, however so did everybody else. women as well as women are just as passionately fans of genre stories, as well as it’s about time that they get a photo like this. The Birds of Prey trailer appears like every other colorful, somewhat silly action movie, however just with women triggering most of the mayhem. In fact, that the film type of appears like cherished fierce actions films like John Wick is no accident. director Cathy Yan was able to get Wick director Chad Stahelski to film reshoots in order to up the action ante. Birds of Prey will be a film for everyone, as well as it tells as remarkable a story as Joker ever could. It may not win awards (though Robbie’s very first Harley Quinn movie suicide Squad did win an Oscar), however it will be unforgettable as well as fun. That’s all you can ask of a movie.
The Birds of Prey might Be DC Movies’ most important Franchise Going Forward

The very first trailer for Birds of Prey breezes past the other familiar comic characters who comprise the group. rather it focuses on exactly how Harley Quinn unites a group of disparate loners to take down somebody powerful. This is a formula that might work over several films (just like the John Wick formula). Also, the nature of the Birds of Prey brand (at least on the huge screen) is such that it might function a turning cast of characters. DC Comics has a deep roster of female heroes, villains, as well as anti-heroes who might all discover a area on the team.
Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) hits theaters in February of 2020.
