Birds Of Prey Trailer Review: 7 Ups & 4 Downs

Downs

4. Where Are The Other Birds, Exactly?

Someone's got a touch of Wolverine syndrome.

Look, it was always inevitable that Warner Bros would go big on Harley Quinn in this marketing, but after the last poster reveal that not only only had Harley Quinn on it but dropped the title entirely in favour of an acronym, it's still a shame to see how sidelined the other characters are here.

Perhaps that will change in the other trailers, but it's a real, real shame that Warner Bros aren't confident enough in their characters - none of whom are brand new by any means and all of whom deserve a film - to even give them an introduction in the trailer. Why not have little character moment flourishes that actually name them, like the first Suicide Squad trailer did?

That was the best trailer of its year and even though it lied about the movie it was selling, it worked to introduce the characters to a mainstream audience Warner Bros needed to see the film. THAT'S WHY THEY DID IT! Not doing it here just makes it look like they only care about Harley.
