Harley Quinn Season 2
So it might have been a bit bumpier than season one and less laugh out loud funny but needless to say I still loved Harley Quinn season 2 over on the DC Universe App. I thought I’d do a list of my favorite parts and consequently what I think they should steal going forward for the live action movies!
If you’ve been here a while I’m sure you can guess my number 1 🙂
I really enjoyed it Birds of Prey when it came out last month. Still do. Bought it immediately when it was available and watched everything and honestly that only reinforced my biggest issue with the movie.
Besides Harley it needed stronger characters.
(Spoilers!)
The DC Cinematic Universe is sleeping on a lot but a big one I think is they haven’t yet used the character of Doctor Pamela Isley, better known as Poison Ivy, since Uma Thurman played her in that Batman we should all forget way back in the 90s.
I think that is crazy because if there’s anyone screaming for a Big Screen adaptation its her.
So Birds of Prey was a bit of a box office downer.
Which seems like a bit of a surprise because on top of a slow box office, a popular character and great to good reviews & word of mouth- you think this would have been a slam dunk. You’d think it would have at least hit the bottom of estimates…
Finally a new (and apparently final) Birds of Prey trailer has dropped! Just when I had started to give up hope.
Joker
Directed By: Todd Phillips
A lot has already been written dissected and yelled about this deep dive into the psyche of the Joker. Some interesting topics like art, censorship, the cultural responsibility of artists, violence in films, etc are involved. Not to mention why the yelling over this particular film and not countless other super violent movies that come out?
And is Joker even worth it?
The Harley Quinn movie trailer is here (also known as Birds of Prey) and while it looks fun I’m also once again glad it’s not Gotham City Sirens.
In fact I’m not sure I want to see Ivy while Margot Robbie is calling the shots and I say that as a huge fan of Harley Quinn.
Justice League
Directed By: Zack Snyder
Grade: B
Expectations were somewhere in the middle considering all the behind the scenes stuff that went on with this movie. When I couldn’t see it this weekend I started hearing it had bombed because it made under a hundred million. Really? I mean the movie itself had some problems (some big) and it’s not something I’ll see again in theaters but I enjoyed it and I’m still hopeful for the DCEU.
