Mary Elizabeth Winstead will play Helena Bertinelli / Huntress: A vigilante and the daughter of mafia syndicate gangster Franco Bertinelli. Helena Bertinelli was introduced in her own series, written by Joey Cavalieri and drawn by Joe Staton, co-creator and long-time artist of the Helena Wayne (this is Earth-2 Huntress, who take up the name after the death of that Earth's Batman and Catwoman). In the 1989 Huntress series, Helena Bertinelli was born into one of Gotham City's most prominent Mafia families. In this iteration of the character, she was kidnapped as a child and raped by a rival mafia don purely to psychologically torture her father, and is a withdrawn girl. Her parents send her to a boarding school and assign a bodyguard for her protection where she learns all forms of combat. After she witnesses the mob-ordered murder of her parents at the age of 19, she travels, accompanied and trained by her bodyguard Sal, before returning to Gotham to make her debut as the Huntress. Now I would have loved to see a solo Huntress film before this movie, but hopefully they will do a prequel to show her backstory. Now I am a fan of Mary E. Winstead and I enjoyed her in Scott Pilgrim v. The World, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and 10 Cloverfield Lane and I know she is going to knock this out of the park and I can’t wait to see her perform this role. #birdsofprey #fantabulousemancipationofoneharleyquinn #harlequinn #huntress #blackcanary #reneemontoya #victorzsasz #cassandracain #blackmask #margotrobbie #maryelizabethwinstead #jurneesmollettbell #rosieperez #chrismessina #ellajaybasco #ewanmcgregor #cathyyan #dc #dceu #wb #film #movie #misfitcomics https://www.instagram.com/p/B8OjfAmHWj4/?igshid=1i9nz5dgyc6v4

Is Harley Quinn a good influence on Cassandra Cain? You decide!

I’m so kidding! Of course she is! 🤣😋

Thoughts : Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

After the colossal misstep that was Suicide Squad, and the ensuing wave of speculation over the future of the franchise and whether it deserved an immediate pressing of the reset button, the news of a Harley Quinn and Birds of Prey vehicle did not land with the gravitas that D.C. expected. While Margot Robbie did shine in the role of Harley Quinn, many found themselves facing the fatigue of underwhelming D.C. movie after underwhelming D.C. movie. The one thing nobody seemed to expect, however, was for Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) to be good.

Four years after the events of Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) finds herself free of her relationship with the Joker and forced to make due on her own. After a run-in with the driver of Roman Sionis (Ewan McGregor) that leaves the driver crippled, Harley befriends Dinah Lance (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), the singer in Sionis’ club. The following morning, Lance saves Harley from an attack, which impresses Sionis, and he immediately assigns Lance as his new driver. Harley blows up an Ace Chemicals plant in an effort to make a statement about her breakup with the Joker, but her action does not divert GCPD from their investigation of mob killings committed by the Crossbow Killer, who goes by the self-applied name The Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). GCPD Detective Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) attempts to use Lance as an informant, but Lance turns the offer down, only to eventually fall in line when young pickpocket Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco) interrupts a diamond theft plot. With the streets after Harley, Sionis kidnaps her and attempts to use her to recover Cain and the diamond, but upon finding out that Lance has tipped off Montoya, Sionis enacts a plan to not only recover the diamond, but put the entire run of women out of commission in the process. As the opposed forces find themselves targeted and closed in upon, the women form an unsteady alliance to protect themselves, and in turn, put all of their previous motivations and alliances into question.

Birds of Prey presents a much more refined use of techniques attempted in Suicide Squad, and the techniques find a focused application with a centered protagonist model and supporting characters on the wings (no pun intended). On top of these visual techniques that apply to film, there is a very specific and efficient use of comic book framing, visualization and tropes that keep the events of the film tethered to their origins. The way that the creators of the film are able to mix aspects of buddy comedies, redemption story movies, break-up vindication films, whodunit affairs and, of course, comic-book films presents the viewer with a highly entertaining mish-mash of stimulation.

Rather than try to force the world to bend to the whims of the Suicide Squad story, director Cathy Yan opts for folding a D.C.-based story into a broader world story, which works much better. Lots of the action that centers around Harley Quinn is wonderfully entertaining, leaning on mostly non-lethal applications until more lethal fare is called for. The story also manages to tell Harley Quinn’s tale without having to use the Joker as a foundational element, opting instead to use his absence as fuel for the plot rather than harping on him not being around and making it about him in the process.

As expected in a comic-book film, there is an extremely vivid use of colors, specifically pastels of varying richness that pop out against the mostly muted backdrops. The way that the story blends past, present and future events through a mix of flashbacks and timeline melds keeps the story interesting while straying away from a fixed linear narrative, while also allowing for key bits of information to show up when they will play the best, rather than in chronological order. The soundtrack is not only full of earworms, but the song selections do a much better job of punctuating character mentalities and motivations than film of this nature normally does. Overall, Birds of Prey is a much more focused, balanced and well-executed movie than Suicide Squad, as if the previous recipe had too many ingredients, while this same recipe has found harmonic ingredient balance.

Margot Robbie infuses some Bugs Bunny energy into her performance, from her mannerisms and line delivery down to fight choreography. Rosie Perez mixes aspects of the straight-man role with a designation as the main character that drives the narrative forward with subtle balance. Mary Elizabeth Winstead leans into her role as the protagonist while managing to let a layer of insecurity bubble just below the surface. Ewan McGregor is taking delight in playing big while chewing up the scenery and moments, serving for a balanced foe with just as much personality as Harley Quinn. Jurnee Smollett-Bell masterfully reveals the layers of her character with high narrative efficiency, never revealing too much of her character at once, and making the reveals ultra-timely. Ella Jay Basco’s joyful ignorance and disregard for the impact of her actions serves as the perfect chaotic neutral foil. Chris Messina buzzes around as secondary menace to McGregor in a unique interpretation of the muscle role. Appearances by Alli Wong, Dana Lee, Steven Williams, Fancois Chau, Derek Wilson, Matt Willig, and spiritual appearances by Jared Leto and Jai Courtney round things out.

For every stinker that the D.C. film universe has presented, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) finds itself in the rare air of success from the brand. If you enjoyed Watchmen, Shazam!, or saw where aspects of Suicide Squad may have worked under different circumstances, I highly recommend giving Birds of Prey a go.

Birds of Prey and the Fabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020) - 8/10 - The Joker and Harley Quinn broke up its open season as a huge target is put on Quinn's back. Every thug in the coty is now after Harley Quinn. But everything evens out when Harley receives the help of the Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya. Colorful, energetic and spontaneous. This movie was a lot better than previous DCEU has offered yet, or that I have watched yet. The actions sequencesbwere livid and had great choreography on it. It was fun and funny to watch. I didn't felt bored not even for a minute, I felt that there was something to always lookout in the movie. The chaos created in the story is beautiful (I cannot imagine if production would have decided to put the Joker in the same film as Harley Quinn). I mean with only her there was a lot of chaos going on. It is a good movie, there's always certain amount of flaws going around but this ones are flaws that are generally shadowed because of how the story is running. In my opinion, DCEU is putting a pin on the map with this one film, at least, for me, it was way more surprising than the villains reunion of "Suicide Squad". So what do you think yourself of this movie? #margotrobbie #maryelizabethwinstead #junesmollettbell #rosieperez #rosieperez #chrismessina #ellajaybasco #aliwong #ewanmcgregor #dceu #harleyquinn #harleyquinnmovie #2020 #warnerbros #gothamcity #joker #breakingup #hyena #targetonyourback #mrj #blackmask #movies #moviesreview #reviews #films #filmreviews https://www.instagram.com/p/CBEOZ3FHAKb/?igshid=1kd9sdihvc4ry

Movie Of The Week: I gotta admit. I took my time going to see @birdsofprey. Now I’m kicking myself, but I really enjoyed it. As much as I love superhero movies, a lot of them take themselves too seriously. This was very fun to watch and introduced some cool new characters to the DCEU (if that’s still a thing). Whether this kicks off a new franchise remains to be seen. It didn’t do as well at the box office as expected. #margotrobbie #ellajaybasco #jurneesmollettbell #rosieperez #maryelizabethwinstead #ewanmcgregor #chrismessina #aliwong #dceu #dccomics #atthemovies https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Mnt5MBQax/?igshid=u87x2ackmk6i

Margot Robbie will reprise her role as Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn: A former crazed criminal turned vigilante who is part of the Suicide Squad and a former psychiatrist. Screenwriter Christina Hodson sought to reinvent Harley, wanting to expand on the character following her departure from the Joker. Hodson called Harley the character she enjoyed developing most due to her unpredictable personality. Now I am excited to see Margot Robbie reprising her role as Harley Quinn. I hope they take some of the ideas from New 52 Harley Quinn storylines because she is more independent and fun. She is more of an anti-hero than villain, and I hope they give her a redemption storyline that explains why she left The Joker and why she is turning a new leaf. #birdsofprey #fantabulousemancipationofoneharleyquinn #harlequinn #huntress #blackcanary #reneemontoya #victorzsasz #cassandracain #blackmask #margotrobbie #maryelizabethwinstead #jurneesmollettbell #rosieperez #chrismessina #ellajaybasco #ewanmcgregor #cathyyan #dc #dceu #wb #film #movie #misfitcomics https://www.instagram.com/p/B8N_mJwns2d/?igshid=qsn0bt4k3r9v
