Harley Quinn movie in the works

[NinjaPug]

In an interesting twist, the project is not a Quinn solo movie. Rather, it would focus on several of DC’s female heroes and villains, with names such as Batgirl and Birds of Prey surfacing.

[TurtleTitan97]

They had me at Batgirl and Birds of Prey. :D

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I'll watch it. I don't believe it's happening, but it sounds great in theory.

Poison Ivy, Barbara Gordon, maybe Dinah Lance...

[Autbot_Benz]

just keep Hack Snyder away from it.

[ZariusTwo]

This better not have hipster Babs.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Nah. Although I'm not convinced Babs will have working legs in this movie...

[CyberCubed]

Ivy/Harley OTP

[ToTheNines]

Harley is immensely popular, her ongoing is one of DC's best sellers. Plus Margot Robbie, so yeah it could work.

Too bad the DCFU is so fundamentally flawed.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I'd be down for this, so long as it was in the vein of B:TAS, where it was fun (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe8I3sFue4I) and not depressingly dark. But of course that wouldn't happen.

Hopefully it would be better than that cancelled TV series from the early 2000s...with Dina Meyer as Oracle.

The original Harley always seemed a little more sophisticated to me than her new 52 counterpart...

[MikeandRaph87]

Gotham Sirens? Poison Ivy will get a second cinematic appearance and so will Batgirl. However, I will be interested depending on who is under the Batgirl cowl. Is it Barbara Gordon? If not then no thanks.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I really REALLY want Poison Ivy to be done properly in live action. Barbara Gordon, too.

[CyberCubed]

Make them all lesbians.

[Autbot_Benz]

oh shut up :roll:

^ This.

So since we're getting Batgirl, does that mean we'll finally see a Robin on the big screen again?

[Splinter the boss]

DUDE!! You are twisted.

I always wanted to see both Robin and Batgirl again on the big screen after 1997's so bad its good Batman and Robin. By that I mean Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon. While Barbara would be likely I fear we will have multiple Robins if the resurrection of Jason Todd is the focus of the Bat-fleck. Grayson is all we need.

Eh, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that, I'm afraid. Like Flash, I like the idea of the title of "Robin" being associated with the idea of a legacy hero and not just with one character. Would rather see Dick as Nightwing and Tim Drake start off as the DCEU Robin.

I want every main character from the Bat-Nipples-era movies to get properly reintroduced to the big screen. Harvey Dent and Bane already saw massive improvements; Riddler, Ivy, Batgirl, Robin, and Freeze need the same.

And we've already gone back and forth forever on Robins... I'll simply repeat that getting Jason Todd in a movie vastly increases the chances of getting Dick Grayson and Nightwing in a movie.

[drgon78]

Harley and Poison Ivy vs Batgirl and maybe Wonder Girl, Zatanna, Artemis/Tigress, Aquagirl, Rocket, or Bumblebee.

[Foombamaroom]

This doesn't seem necessary. Looks like Warner Bros. is starting to become Sony.

[Spike Spiegel]

While both of them attempt to emulate Marvel Studios...

[raph27]

Mixed feelings. On on hand, a Harley Quinn movie sounds like a great idea. Lots of story stuff to work with.

But on the other hand, slow down WB. The DCCU has barely started and this is the ninth movie you've started planning on. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

[Shark_Blade]

Too many characters tbh.Make them all lesbians.

Your filthy perversion is showing.

[Electric]

I would be totally down for this, whether its a Harley solo, a Gotham Sirens (live action Ivy with todays CGI would be incredible), or a Birds of Prey (maybe give Black Canary the role she deserves)

While it does seem a little early for DC to be planning this out, I have my hopes high for the Suicide Squad, specifically Harley, who if done right could have a lot of good ways to take her own movie.

They don't have a choice. They want this MARVEL MONEY HERE and NOW.
Sadly, I am afraid all this rushing lead to the DCCU crashing and burning spectacularly. But, I will be glad, if I am ultimately wrong.

What so perverse about desiring to witness perfection?

Here's hoping she'll get pants in the sequel

I would give anything for the punk biker outfit from Arkham City. Just the right blend of harlequinn, sexy, and BAMF.

I'm surprised they didn't emulate that straight away, now that you have mentioned it.

It seems more in character that the psuedo-Lolita thing from Suicide Squad.

[Sumac]

You call that perfection? What the heck!
What is not perfect about pure and beautiful love?! :tangel:

Though, I'd bet a lot of depends on performance of the Suicide Squad movie and so far, DC's track record does not inspire confidence.

Never mind

The spin-off movie is moving forward. Margot Robbie is executive producing it: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/margot-robbie-signs-first-look-928813

Man, I can so easily imagine a world where DC ditches its original film slate and just produces Harley-centric films.

May it bring with it a DCEU Poison Ivy. And hell, while I'm wishing, I want Evelyn Crawford ("Starling") in it, too.

[Shark_Blade]

More Harley goodness I see. :tlove:

Going by After Earth, neither does will smith

But that's forbidden love

[raph27]

I really liked Margot as Harley in SS so I think this will be pretty good. Also hoping for Poison Ivy. Since I heard things about a female ensemble cast, maybe Black Canary could be in it?

[THGhost]

Maybe we'll see more of Jared Leto's Joker this time? :P

So after they announced the Harley Quinn solo movie (along with Suicide Squad 2), then Gotham City Sirens, then Joker & Harley, I think most of us assumed the original Harley Quinn solo movie had been abandoned or merged into one or all of the other ones.

It wasn't.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Common knowledge: Less is more!
WB exec: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Andrew NDB]

Just for fun, let's review all the DCEU movies in varying degrees of production:

Aquaman
Shazam!
Harley Quinn
Suicide Squad 2
Wonder Woman 2
Harley & Joker
Untitled Joker Origin movie
The Batman
Flashpoint
Nightwing
Batgirl
Deathstroke
Black Adam
The Batman
Cyborg
The Green Lantern Corps
Justice League Dark
Booster Gold

It's shocking to me that just about all of those are further along than any "Man of Steel 2."

Half of those are doomed. And half of those are unneeded and unwanted.

Sadly, those two halves do not necessarily correspond...

Don't worry, neither does anyone at DC or Warner Brothers. :twink:

And if they do figure it out, it'll be all different tomorrow.

The level of incompetence in the running of this film empire is so staggering, words fail me.

For every movie I might possibly be interested in seeing, there are half a dozen that baffle the mind.

The Batman? Well, let's offset that with New Gods, The Flash, Harley and Joker, Harley's Fantabulous Emancipation and some Birds of Prey without Oracle, Shazam 2... you're welcome. :trazz:

It's funny because Marvel had provided pretty straightforward guide on "how to make your cinematic universe": start with solo movies, have one person (who loves and understands characters) as a head of all projects and then go to the bigger stuff.

As of now it appears that WB wanted to make Avengers almost without any preparations and had dozen of cooks, tugging DCCU into different directions.

The most bumming thing for me is that they managed to fail to make a movie about Batman, arguably the most popular comic book character, who works pretty much in everything, from comedy cartoons to dark grim and realistic settings.

Indeed, WB level of incompetence is just legendary.

As for Harley movie, I want them to make it good, but I have very little hopes for it. WB proved time and time again, that if its not Batman there is about 90% that the movie will suck.

See, though, you don't HAVE to follow the MCU "rinse and repeat" formula. DC could shake things up, do team-up movies with a few important flashbacks to establish key characters (say, Green Lantern, Flash, etc) and not even bother with backstory for Batman.

The problem isn't "should have followed the MCU paint-by-numbers", but "believe in your directors/writers, and stick to your damn guns." Do retcons or course corrections, but don't throw out the whole damn plan every time somebody hates on your latest movie.

Always keep moving forward.

I am just going by what had worked so far.
And so far, Marvel is the only who was able to successfully create a cinematic universe. Everyone else had failed.

[sdp]

Just watched Suicide Squad and what a mess of a movie, it spent way too much doing world building, the tone is all over the place, joker is not very jokerish, I mean I appreciate being different from Leto but it just wasn't good.

Enchantress was a great villain but shouldn't be in a Suicide Squad movie, they really should've kept it more realistic in tone. I don't know I wanted to like it but it's just not fun.

This is what I said years ago about the problem with the DC cinematic universe (https://miscrave.com/articles/cinematic-universe-dc/) and I"ve mentioned it many times since then. DC everytime it gets some bad press decides to scratch all their plans, they did it with Superman Returns, with Green Lantern, and pretty much with every DCEU movie starting with Man of Steel.

DC also didn't need to introduce every character with a solo movie, did we need a WW/Flash/Hawkgirl/Martin Manhunter cartoon before Justice League? No. Did we need an origin for Batman in BTAS? No. We know who Batman is, we can meet the other heroes for the first time in Justice League and they can expand. It's not like people were heavily invested in Avengers until the first Avengers movie came out, the only big hit before it was the two iron man movies.

DC has a lot going for it but it just has never stuck to what they want to do.
