That looks really really fucking awful. What a waste of Robbie and MacGregor.
Edit: Ewan's playing Black Mask without a black mask? Why.

The cinematography is amazing. I was afraid this would embarrass itself alongside Joker. It doesn't. I mean, it can't compare, but it doesn't embarrass itself.
It's been leaked that they all get their costumes.
Marvel characters don't even wear their masks in the movie posters...let's not. lol
I bet he's going to put it for like five minutes in the final fight and that's it.
Yep.
I don't understand how in this day in age you shy away from comicbook costumes.
This leak is no longer true. The movie's ending was reworked. That plot point has been removed and he gets the mask the same way he does in the comics.
I'll always respect Marvel for this. They gave us fishbowl Mysterio. They didn't hide that shit, they weren't ashamed of it. If you have Mysterio you NEED the fishbowl. Yet, DC out here afraid of a Black Skull Mask.
The likelihood of him only being called "Roman Sionis" on screen and only Black Mask in the credits is high. Then "black mask" is worked into a dialogue line somewhere near the end.
i don't know what that is but movies being afraid of iconic costumes until the very end is also pretty MEH
So hes gonna have the mask for a couple seconds, wow great
McGregor is playing Black Mask. It's kind of hard to tell though, given the choice not to give him a black mask.
this film doesn't exactly seem to be prioritizing fidelity to the source material (based both on publicly released stuff and some leaked details I'll refrain from hinting at here), and DC is clearly going for more tonal diversity in the DCEU going forward, so I don't think it was unreasonable of me
But we don't even know if the events in this movie cause him to use the mask. Seems like a wild leap.
Dude, this is the same Harley from Suicide Squad. Where they had killer croc, enchantress, and el diablo. All them had their mutations/powers. They even have Harley's hyena (dunno if she has both), having Canary with her powers is not some stretch. We've had exactly one movie, Joker that doesn't have any powers. Which is also an elseworld movie.
I wish they had costumes. Even in Suicide Squad they wore costumes.
But besides that I AM glad the movie looks good.

why are they lumping an S teir hero with a street level villian? shouldn't she up against someone like mongal or braniac?
the way the DCEU has been leaning is so bizarre. It's like they're afraid of being DC or some shit. At least Marvel leans into their shit.
Compare this to current DC and it's just a totally different aesthetic.
I dunno, I've always been more into the lighter, wackier DC. Movie doesn't look terrible. Weird approach to Birds of Prey, though.

I'm in! Hopefully there isn't as much tonal whiplash between the trailer and the movie like with Suicide Squad.
Bowlfish Mysterio was cool. But a big reason it worked so well was that it was on, you know, Spiderman Far From Home, which was a "fun movie for all family" type of deal. Now Imagine Bowl Fish Mysterio on a movie like Logan or Joker. Completely different kind of deal.
This isn't that. This is firmly Rated-R, that tries (and I mean it when I say tries) to be be more in line with Tarantino over theatrical crime pics. They can only go as far before the tonal dissonance starts acting in detriment to the whole vibe.
I'm really not sure these two things are quite the equal you're portraying them as.
Um, Tarantino is all about pulpy, genre films. A Black Skull Mask would be right at home in Kill Bill.
And you bet we're gonna get it I mean come on. Why spoil a cool moment on the trailer.
That's not the only issue. If you showed me a still from this film of Black Canary or Huntress, I would have no idea who they are. Even Harley Quinn looks nothing like her namesake. I'm not asking for the jester costume, but at least use the black/red color scheme.
And I hate when a movie waits until the last minute to introduce "costumes." It's usually pointless buildup, reminds me of that bullshit from X-Men Apocalypse.
yeah, for better or worse, this seems to be taking a Marvel Netflix approach in some significant respects. not in that it's necessarily as dark, but that it's keen on stripping away the overtly fantastical, comic book-y elements as much as possible
even if it's technically in the same universe, an aspect WB has taken pains to deemphasize, it's a different director and screenwriter clearly going for a very different and more grounded tone versus the previous DCEU films. this is silly
Looks so good
That was hype but lets not pretend like Marvel isn't afraid sometimes to use costumes lmao. Thor never wears his classic helmet aside from a cornonation scene in the first movie and one action scene in his 3rd movie. Quicksilver didn't get a costume and Wanda still hasn't gotten the headdress. Meanwhile DC had the balls to use Black Manta's big-ass helmet unabashedly

From the director
"Margot knew she wanted to tell a 'Harley Quinn plus girls' story. That was kind of where she began with it. She knew she wanted a girl gang. She wanted Harley to have friends."

This is going to be a Harley Quinn movie first, with birds of prey being second wheel. I don't have an issue with that per say, I just want a good movie.
I think that looks terrible. Hopefully it's just a bad trailer but a film called Birds of Prey should really give me some kind of impression of who everyone else is.
