Review of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) by Aguila9 — 09 Feb 2020

(What if a Charlie's Angel did cosplay). It's strange how the Joker went from one-dimensional, one-liner, character for decades but got the full dramatic treatment in the past 10 years. It was an incredibly, well-depicted transformation for the character.

But Harley Quinn, nothing but a classic one-liner air-head from beginning to end. A bad attempt at comical, and never remotely close to comic hero. And then there's the inconsistency: One moment she's a vulnerable weakling without a man's protection, being targeted by every one in the city and she cant' even fend for herself against a single foe in hand-to-hand combat.

A few scenes later she's armed, punching, kicking, and taking on an entire uniformed legion.
