![]() ![]() And Harley Quinn takes down all sorts of bad guys and cops (usually non-lethally) with style and pizaz. Huntress is a stone cold assassin out for revenge. Black Canary beats up two guys outside Roman’s club who were trying to abscond with a very drunk Harley Quinn. Throughout the movie we see the various tough female protagonists deliver some pain to the various thugs and goons. My other big gripe is with the final fight scene, so this is a bit spoilery. I also like how it really emphasizes tough female characters and think it’s sort of a shame that it isn’t more appropriate for younger girls. It would have been a better movie with a less edgy tone and it would perform better at the box office if families could go see it. There doesn’t need to be the sexual assault stuff which is basically the line I draw for showing this one to my kids.īirds of Prey should have been PG-13. Harley Quinn doesn’t need to be as drug-addled as she is she doesn’t need to curse so much more than she did in Suicide Squad (which is an odd tonal shift to say the least). Most of the R-rated stuff is completely unnecessary. What appears to be a mess of an attempt in bringing characters together, slowly alters and changes to form a gripping and emotional story.Black Mask and Victor Zsasz with Harley Quinn Credit: Warner Bros.įirst off, as I’ve mentioned elsewhere, this movie did not need to be R-rated. – Josh ( read the full review) Titans Annual #1 Art by Brett Booth, Norm Rapmund, and Andrew Dalhouse The tone of the story feels as though Bedard was attempting to juggle both worlds, rather than fully immerse one world into the other. – Elena ( read the full review) Suicide Squad/The Banana Splits Special #1 Art by Ben Caldwell The book is gloriously shaggy and the characters have hair with a life of its own. ![]() – Josh ( read the full review) Harley’s Little Black Book #6 Art by Amanda Conner and Alex Sinclair …if you’re going to read anything featuring Jim Gordon as Batman, make it this story! – Jay ( read the full review) Detective Comics, Vol. With each new delay and the threat promise of an extended issue order, though, this story doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere. ![]() – Elena ( read the full review) Dark Knight III: The Master Race #8 Art by Bill Sienkiewicz How about you? Batgirl Annual #1 Art by Bengalīut this is not a one-and-done and it’s sharing half its page length with another unrelated tale, and that’s really not what I want to spend $5 on. Personally, I feel pretty disconnected from this week’s output (probably because I haven’t read any of it yet). There were also some light-hearted crossovers and Harley’s Little-But-Nearly-DKIII-Level-Delayed Black Book. Jay loved it, at least on some scale of comparison, somewhere, probably. Oooookkkkaaaaaay, so in comics, we also saw our favorite inchworm move another inch, as DKIII returned from its seven-year voyage and plopped out its eighth installment. And then imagine the Babs/Huntress/Canary team up (we can throw in Iris for good measure)-they could give it a hip spin on the classic, and just call it Prey. We’ve got a solid few years of stories to mine, and I think they’re a perfect fit for an enterprise with an established track record of turning beloved characters into blubbering fools. So, given that, and given Elena’s take on this week’s Batgirl Annual #1, I’m thinking it’s time Berlanti and Kreisberg bring the Babsgirl of Burnside into their world. There have been some strong moments, but more often than not, I found myself ignoring bad acting and aggravating over-emotionalizing because I enjoyed the adventure and nerd-service. I have been known to indulge in the occasional Arrowverse program over the years. ![]()
