Birds Of Prey - Every Character Explained

9. Harley Quinn

Harley Quinn needs no introduction. She’s the biggest name in the film, the only character previously established from Suicide Squad and gets the lion’s share of the trailer. Given that she’s the most marketable character in the movie, that’s no surprise.

In fact, following the DCEU’s repeated failures to cash in on Batman & Superman’s huge name brand recognition, Harley might be DC’s most marketable character out of anyone right now, at least on the silver screen.

Just in case all that didn’t convince us that Birds Of Prey would be Harley centric, the obnoxiously long subtitle ‘And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn’ removes all doubt.

Still, there’s some intrigue remaining, even if she gets far more limelight than the other characters combined. The trailer is surprisingly light on plot or spoilers, which will hopefully continue right up until the film’s release in February 2020. There’s still a lot of unanswered questions about what precisely Harley’s role will be in the movie.

She’s not one of the Birds in the comic, even serving as the Birds’ antagonist before. With a few villains already crammed in here though (more on them soon) it appears she’s heading for an antihero arc this time around.
