Birds Of Prey Trailer 2 Review: 6 Ups & 3 Downs

5. The Fantabulous Emancipation Of Harley Quinn

While first trailer leaned heavily into the Harlequin's purpose to serve, this one showcased how they can ultimately thrive without a master. And thrive she does, as the series of clips convey how Harley's 'breakup' with The Joker allows her to take back control of her life.

Now that we know a little more about the context of the movie, it's hard not to champion the former henchwoman as she steps out into the light as her own empowering and powerful entity, teaming with some of DC's greatest heroines in order to take back control of all of their lives.

Birds of Prey may be a wacky pantomime of explosions and punchlines, but it seems that there's a powerful sentiment at its heart and that makes it all the more alluring.
