Who needs Joker? Birds of Prey puts Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn centre stage
Gotham City’s lovable crime queen is bigged up in Cathy Yan’s forthcoming movie, leaving Batman and co in the shade
Who needs Batman, the Joker, or indeed the other members of the Birds of Prey, when you have Harley Quinn? That seems to be the position taken by Cathy Yan, director of Margot Robbie’s sophomore turn as Gotham City’s lovable queen of crime. The debut trailer for Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) focuses in hard on Robbie, with barely a glimpse of the other members of the DC ensemble: Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell’s Black Canary and Ella Jay Basco’s Cassandra Cain.
