JGP Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I saw it today. Definitely cemented me as more of a Mary Elizabeth Winstead guy over Margot Robbie, but half way through the movie I was hoping for more Birds of Prey and less Harley. Enjoyed it for the most part, it was fun, yet already a little bit forgettable. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Harley Quinn film that happens to have some of the Birds of Prey in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Just FYI: the subtitle of this thread works perfectly set to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song. I had to suffer, and now you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for horror fans, the Thing "sequel" she starred in is a blasphemy, but I found it, largely due to her, to be pretty, pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurktan Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I enjoyed it but wouldn't say its great or anything, it's about the level of Deadpool 2. Some things that stood out: - Obi Wan is great as Black Mask. Just nutty. Similarly Zsasz was also great in a creepy way. Loved how he was jealous of anyone or anything taking Black Mask's attention that wasn't him. - Every scene with Huntress had absolute incredible comic timing. Very well done. - Montoya was...... not good. Admittedly I'm not a Rosie Perez fan but she's terrible and mostly pointless in the movie. - Very odd that in none of the movie do they even remotely worry that Batman is going to show up. I guess he doesn't cover the East Side. - Probably would have enjoyed it more but the cartoon that's running now is far superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the much better animated Harry Quinn series instead. It's gold. Can you imagine if as kids in the days of Super Friends we turned a channel and this came on? I love the show, one of the funniest parts for me was Spoiler Harley calling Damian Robin a "little shit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I saw Birds of Prey. I wouldn't say it was necessarily anything special, but it was good fun and definitely a big improvement on the likes of Suicide Squad and Justice League. The cast seemed to be having fun with their roles. Harley was the most memorable of the main characters, but I also liked Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the Huntress. Montoya was a bit dull, however, even the film points out that she's mostly a collection of cop movie cliches. Ewan MacGregor seemed to enjoy chewing the scenery as the main villain, I wouldn't say he's the most memorable of villains but at the least the final confrontation with him was refreshingly CGI-free for a superhero movie.

What is it with Michael Keaton and confusing canon? Ah, the DCEU ... what a hot mess that is. A Frankenstein universe of whatever the hell sells. I only glanced at Infinite Crisis (Arrowverse) but it’s funny that those shows already bound Ezra Miller’s Flash and the Tim Burton Batman as being part of the same multiverse. I assume that universe survived? I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ashes Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I thought the universe that had the Keaton Batman in it kicked it in the CW Crisis since it showed the world where that reporter guy who had the hots for Vicky Vale being one of the casualties. As if there aren't enough things keeping me up late at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I thought but I wasn’t confident enough. I know people won’t care about what the Arrowverse did, but they signed off on Ezra Miller being in it. Now, how can we make this more confusing? Maybe Michael Caine as Keaton’s Alfred? Just to make absolutely sure nobody has the foggiest on what universe is what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 A film introduces actors with corresponding pseudonyms that the other actors often addresses them with. Making it clear what fictional character they are portraying in the picture. Children comprehend this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Keaton’s Batman have the same backstory as the 89 film? Or is he just playing a generic Batman? Does The DCCU Flash remember meeting the DCTV Flash?

Jace, Extat Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Who gives a fuck what 'counts' and what's 'cannon'? With Marvel I get it, they had this thing called a Cinematic Universe where all the movies were designed to be connected to a broader narrative. DC tried that briefly, flamed out like the desperate fools they were, and now make singles. What is confusing about this cannon? None of it is connected because nobody knows what they're doing. The Tim Burton movies are connected because they have the same director and same actors. The Schumacher films are connected because of Schumacher and Robin. The Dark Knight Trilogy are connected because they were made by a real group of writers and a great director. After that it's all gibberish and any attempt at cohesion is ex post facto. The actions of a fool attempting to justify their commitment to a brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 THESE ARE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS AND I DEMAND ANSWERS! no, as I said I don't even follow the DCEU (why not just U what exactly is extended about it?) I'm just curious because it's such a weird situation. I was under the impression that the Keaton/Kilmer/Clooney batman movies were all connected, but I might be wrong. I haven't seen them in decades. 40 minutes ago, Jace, Basilissa said: The Dark Knight Trilogy are connected because they were made by a real group of writers and a great director.
