Rumor: Warner Bros Exploring ‘Harley Quinn’ Trilogy: ‘Birds Of Prey’; ‘Gotham City Sirens’; ‘Birds Of Prey v Gotham City Sirens’: https://thegww.com/rumor-warner-bros...m-city-sirens/

I...I really am just so done with Harley Quinn right now .

Aquaman is on pace to out gross Captain America Civil War at the box office. Who would have thought, even after Justice League's BO bomb.

All the more ironic since I recall Civil War came up as a counter to BvS.

Welcome to the club friend. The ride never ends, we just can't beat the Hot Topic crowd.

This is a terrible idea. But hey, you people wanted more female-led superhero flicks. You got it. I'm so sick of being forcefed Batman related content.

Why does Harley Quinn have to be one of DC's most popular characters? I found her annoying in BTAS and I felt like her modern portrayals are more refreshing but overall this character annoys me so much

Don't forget about her upcoming animated series. There will be no shortage of Harley content anytime soon.

Why complain about it? If you don't like it, move on.

I’m actually a Harley fan but the casting for the BoP movie has soured me on the whole thing.

I have nothing against Margot Robbie or Harley Quinn, but it is confusing that after one team movie which had debatable success, Warner Bros. is pushing an entire franchise around her character. I have to wonder what kind of analysis led them to make this decision--and how might other characters and actors win the same treatment?

You'd think that Wonder Woman would have been the big winner. But they've only planned one more movie with Gal Gadot, so far. Maybe the results of JUSTICE LEAGUE convinced them that she doesn't have enough heat. But how would you make that analysis?

It worries me a little because WB has this habit of making big plans around a character or a set of characters and building up our hopes for great things to come, only to pull the plug when a movie doesn't perform to their expectations.

Just stating a fact.

Wait....what is this?? A rational & logical thought on the internet? You mean to tell me that you're willing to (bear with me here) actually WATCH something before tearing it apart? Are you paid by WB? Be honest :P

Almost $800 Million for a team movie with a bad critical reception is debateable success? I agree with the rest of your post, but I'm not sure the box office success is very debateable. A film with a ton of characters the general audience had not heard of (outside of Harley and....maybe Croc) sold nearly 800 million dollars worth of tickets and was a merchandising juggernaut. It resonated with a lot of non-comics viewers, and I think we all as comic fans need to get out of this cycle of considering movies a success only if we personally like them. I'm not saying that's what you are doing Jim, just saying it in general.

Apparently there will be another draft for The Batman, one that increases action and spectacle (aka dumbing it down).

Still hoping for Gyllenhaal as Batman. Maybe there will be an anouncement after Spider-Man Far from Home is out of theatres.

No way dude. Pretty sure Marvel has all their actors sign contracts that prohibit them from doing DC work.

In theory it could be a nice trilogy; I enjoyed Suicide Squad and Robbies HQ. But practically I'm worried about the characters which are not Harley Quinn. Because right know my impression and expectation is at the lowest. They don't even dare a spot on portrayal of Black Canary; Montoyas actress would be right at half her age. WB need to get into their thick skulls that the other characters are decades old and have fan bases too. Diversity in that case a lie, they could have taken diverse characters easily as much. I'd take a spot on Vixen and/or latino Wildcat a million times over these character assassinations. I fear the worst for Ivy Catwoman
