Let me begin this by expressing my absolute hatred of Suicide Squad. That movie is a piece of shit, and anyone involved with it ought to be embarrassed. It's a stain on the director's otherwise solid filmography, and an abomination if there ever was one. I hate DCU movies with a passion and I have no desire to see anymore live-action movies set in that retarded universe, and no desire to watch the new Birds of Prey movie either. Fuck that shit.

While most of DC's pop movie efforts fail, their efforts in other media tend to be loads better. I don't watch any of that CW crap, but that's also better than the movies. Even better than the CW crap is the cartoons. These seem to be targeted toward an older audience with either nostalgia or, in this case... adult humor. Some of those 90s fans are getting old, right?

The still-airing premiere season of Harley Quinn is the kind of bullshit I can get into. It's violent, perverse, and really funny. For this to work though, you have to remember where you are and respect the properties involved. This show can be dumb, but Batman will never break character. He's still a symbol of justice and wont stand for any criminal negligence, but fortunately for the star of this show, she wont run into him very often, because he tends to yield consequences, and Arkham is a bitch to break out of.

So the show begins with Harley breaking up with the apathetic Joker because he never listens or cares about anything she says, so she's trying to make a name for herself, joining forces with Poison Ivy, Clayface, Doctor Psycho, King Shark, and some other shitty villains to find her own way, but it ain't easy for an aspiring female supervillain in a male supervillain dominated world.


"Wow! I've always wondered what the bat cave looked like! So this must be where you fuck the bats!"

Not a huge fan of DCU movies on the whole but I thought Wonder Woman was perfectly fine and the new one looks pretty solid. I've also heard Birds of Prey is supposed to be quite a bit better than Suicide Squad, but maybe that's not saying much.

People will admit that Wonder Woman is a standout in their mundane catalogue, but I've never seen it. Looks like a lot of CGI action, which I'm not quite into.

And while I think Margot Robbie is a good fit and Ewan McGregor is generally great, Birds of Prey and it's "R-rating" doesn't seem to have any appeal to me whatsover. I figure the last one was so bad, this new one could be miles above it and still be close to rock bottom.

But I believe you do enjoy some of the Marvel movies, and it has no more CGI than Infinity War or Endgame. In fact it probably has quite a bit less. The thing that makes it stand out for many in the DCU canon is that at least, like many MU, it has some heart. Oh and Gal Gadot is a pretty awesome site for sore eyes (and she was by far and away the only redeeming feature of Batman Vs Superman, much in the same way Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn was the only redeeming feature of Suicide Squad).

Fair enough. Though even in those Marvel movies I like, I ain't a fan of those epic battle scenes. I prefer all the other hoopla surrounding it, but if things aren't getting blown up or destroyed, the kiddie audience wont be happy... I'll always prefer the gritty realistic take on comic stuff, like Netflix Marvel or certain versions of Batman. Batman is pretty easy to get into regardless, though.

Yeah right, in fact I just watched The Dark Knight with my 7 year old son tonight. I don't think he followed it but of course he enjoyed the action scenes. Although with stuff like Harvey Dent becoming Two-Face, death by pencil and an off-screen chelsea smile, I'd say it was a "hard PG-13" and certainly not as kiddy-friendly as some of the Marvel movies.
