Could see this one going the same way as Suicide Squad. But it may be a surprise hit.
Film Birds of Prey (2020)

Looks awful.
Why does she have a new Jersey accent
Looks bloody terrible if you ask me - Suicide Squad was absolutely shite and I'd expect this to be no better.
Basically one long advert for Harley Quinn.
I love Harley Quinn but this looks really bad.
People saying "it looks shit", like anyone should expect anything else from anything connected to Suicide Squad.
Though the choice of director is interesting given her only prior feature-length work was a Chinese film about about thousands of rotting pig carcasses floating downstream.

This is ridiculously too focused on Harley. Why not make a movie based on her alone then ?
Looks meh
Harley Quinn was the best thing about Suicide Squad and it looks like they are going to spoil her too

A psychotic girl with a bat. No prior military training, not even a formal martial arts training can beat a gangs of thugs armed with machine guns.
This looks like a Harley Quin movie. Not really a Bird of Prey movie from the trailer.Unless the purpose is to draw people in with her but the movie will put equal focus on Huntress and Canary.
Will obviously watch it.

It seems DC only have a few assets worth anything and they milk them dry until everyone is bored.
Confusing, is it a Harley Quinn movie or Birds of Prey?
Just looking at Margo Robbie's imdb page she has 4 DC movies in the works....
I dont see the thinking behind this, just seems like DC are looking at the success of the MCU and just think people will go watch them with equal enthusiasm. They have yet to come up with a formula that works. I am pretty much superhero'd out at this point (enjoyed The Boys tho)

I kinda feel like Netflix' approach to the "lesser" superheros by placing them in a bit of a vacuum is the better one. Put em all together and they re just a bunch of retarded vigilantes who could be wiped out by any of the big superheros in the blink of an eye.
The full actual title is "Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)" so it being predominantly about her is to be expected really.
Gymnastic background and there is mention of her having trained. Depending on where /when SS was based but seeing as Affleck is played as an old batman it’s a good bit on in to her story then Poison Ivy gave Harley some concoction that’s boosts her speed, strength, agility and healing powers. Nothing drastic but it’s described as being better than an Olympic athlete.
With James Gunn behind the reboot you'd expect better due diligence on any character movies going before it.
It's gonna sell because the 16 year old boys will wanna jerk off to Margot Robbie but I'm certain it'll be as shit as suicide squad. Looks awful.
I prey DC just stop doing those fecking awful movies of theirs.
Dis gonna be good @Eboue
You underestimate 16 year old boys ability to find porn on their own.
Looking forward to seeing this. Thought that it was out now but checked it's not out until next year.
Where's the supervillain?
Ewan McGregor
Doesn't really look at all similar to Suicide Squad, other than sharing a character. If Leto stays away it's pretty much guaranteed to be better.
I liked it 
Looks mediocre, expecting it to be worse than Suicide Squad
..Just looking at Margo Robbie's imdb page she has 4 DC movies in the works....
Two words: Harley Quinn. Ergo, I'll watch it.
You think a bunch of Olympians armed with a baseball bat is going to beat an army of thugs with guns?
That's as ridiculous as it sounds and it applies for Harley Quinn.
Do you think a Billionare dressed as a bat with should also be able to take out mobs with machine guns?
Can I add something, It’s based on a comic book!!!
People believe in an all powerful god who has a son that turned water in to wine, walked on water and rose from the dead but god forbid a comic book character who has no fear and enhanced abilities can take out a few goons with machine guns.
Not like Arnold or Sly Stallone haven’t made a career out of movies where they take on a small army by themselves is it.
Jeez some people, honestly...
I'm so confused
I'm not the one comparing her with Olympians, you are. I'm just saying that whatever drug they pumped her up with obviously enhanced her capabilities more than you're implying.
And comparing Affleck's Batman who's wearing a high tech suit of armor with Harley Quinn in terms of firepower is just dumb.
One the comic books states she has better agility, strength, speed than an Olympian. I’m not implying it, I’m repeating the rules that the comic book set. Next thing look up Adam West’s Batman and earlier Batman comics. No high tech bullet proof armour.
Again though it’s a god damn comic, if you’re going to look for sense in that then you might as well query why in Star Wars can people take on entire armies with nothing but a blaster.
Oh ffs, you're literally missing the whole point of a shared universe if you keep comparing them across the different iterations.
My fecking point is that you can't just use the comics standards to judge her because her portrayal in the movie series is way overpowered just from how they portrayed her in suicide squads.
Margot Robbie's arse. Ffs I know it's a bad joke but it's made worse if I need to spell it out.
Looks about as bad as you'd expect.
