12 Most Insane Things Happening In Movies & TV Right Now (Nov 23rd)

1. Hi Guys, Birds Of Prey Has A New Title And It's Really Weird

Even the most ardent critics of Suicide Squad probably enjoyed something about Margot Robbie's performance as fan favourite DC character Harley Quinn. She might have been badly written, overly sexualised and saddled with terrible co-star characters, but she looked good and pretty much everyone copied off her outfiot for Halloween. You can't argue with that sort of brand power.

So it was inevitable that we'd get more of her, with Robbie leading a Harley spin-off, which is to be directed by Cathy Yan, under the Birds Of prey banner. Sadly for Warner Bros, though, that title wasn't really selling the idea of Harley's involvement enough and since they couldn't get away with calling it Harley Quinn And Some Other People or Birds Of Harley Quinn or something, they've given it a title they seem to believe is a good idea.

That title? Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). Really rolls off the tongue doesn't it. Let's be honest, this title is really Harley Quinn Is No Longer In An Abusive Relationship With The Joker, We Promise Guys. Because that's clearly the other aim to this terrible sub-title.
