Hey Youtubers, it's Charlie so they just confirmed a whole bunch of stuff about the Harley Quinn
movie that there making so I'm going to explain what's going on Gotham city Sirens from the
comics and what Batman's involvement is going to be there is a new round of the flash ring
giveaway going on now.

So what's going on we all knew that they were going to make a Harley Quinn movie instead
of doing a direct suicide squad Sequel.
So right off the bat.
They were just like a couple really easy things that you could take away from that one they
would probably find a way to work the Joker and just because there was so much of them
together and suicide squad.
Whatever your opinion is about Jared Lehto's performance as the Joker they kind of come
as a pair that he died for me what's will you, but you can make a movie that just about
Harley Quinn.
She's the main character but the Joker just so important to who her character is that
you have to include him in some way just like you have to include Batman.
So even if they didn't originally intend to do a lot of Batman in the movie he is definitely
going to be in their cousin of Gotham city Sirens the title kind of gives it away, but
all explained that in the second to because they were a couple different iterations of
the movie before they confirmed Gotham city Sirens which is basically a Harley Quinn team
up, but nothing happens in Gotham city without Batman knowing about it is not like he went
to the beach at them a scarab to just hang out with the Amazons for a couple months so
Harley Quinn having a damn good time in Gotham city at the expense of Bruce Wayne and the
bat are coming you put on cards in the hospital you sleep
on the ground.
So there were a couple different versions of the movie when they first announced at
first they talked about Harley Quinn team up movie that could've been anything.
So we all just kind of thought Gotham city Sirens that was the easy slamdunk.
But then later they were talking about Harley Quinn and the birds of prey which is a very
different type of movie because even though Harley Quinn has been featured in birds of
prey comics that's really like a superhero team up.
Not a villain team up like Gotham city Sirens.
So if you never read the comics way back before the new 52 like pre-2011 there was a title
with Catwoman poison ivy in Harley Quinn.
They call that Gotham city Sirens it was all about their friendship.
Their adventures their relationship.
Just trying to get by as criminals in and around Gotham city with all these other external
forces swirling around them.
You have the other villains like the Joker who won't leave Harley Quinn alone then you
have people like Batman the keeps trying to thwart them when they try to rob people rob
banks brought jewelry stores.
So it's kind of like a supervillain Thelma and Louise situation whereby it.
Now they have the opportunity to introduce the Catwoman character and poison ivy into
this DC extended universe which is really important for number of reasons.
Because they just bumped the second Justice league movie to make room for Ben Affleck's
Batman movie which is still on track.
But now they have the opportunity to introduce some really cool Batman characters that they
can later use in that Batman movie without having to over explain them again, so one
of the common problems with superhero movies team ups in general is that they're too many
characters for you to develop really well.
So you wind up with a bunch of characters that you just don't care about, so they introduce
a like a Catwoman character in this Harley Quinn movie she gets a really nice arc she
becomes much more meaningful when you see her pop back up during the Batman movie later
on.
So it should come as no surprise to anyone that Batman is still the cornerstone of all
the DC movies Superman is one of the biggest comic book characters of all time but from
a movie standpoint Batman has been much more successful recently, so a lot of DC's extended
movie universe plans are tied to Batman success.
Ben Affleck was a great version of Batman Margot Robbie was a great version of Harley
Quinn.
See you guys can let me know what you think about them pulling some of the movie universe
in their direction.
I feel like it's good, but a lot of it just depends on what the story the movies going
to be what is Harley Quinn Catwoman poison ivy going to be teaming up for like what's
the whole reason for them to be together it's the conflict is she fighting with the Joker
is she fighting with Batman.
Is she trying to steal something is going to be a big Heise movie is gonna be like Ocean's
Eleven with a couple DC comic book villains so what they should probably do is just borrow
a little bit from the beginnings of the team in the comics so if you're not familiar with
the Gotham city Sirens comic book.
So what happens is is Catwoman poison ivy and Harley Quinn are all laid low.
They're all sort of on the outs with their respective male characters Catwoman and Batman
are at odds Harley Quinn is at odds with the Joker and they find that poison ivy has seduced
and tricked the Riddler to use his apartment as her new base of operations they'll come
together form an alliance they decide they're stronger together and then go on to have a
series of crime-fighting adventures of their own like they tried to do good.
But there villain, so a lot of times there are whole areas consequences then eventually
like their loyalty to each other is tested by people like the Joker like Harley Quinn
thinks about getting back with him she ends up a train the team.
So you can see how it's a story that test their humanity, their loyalty to each other
versus their loyalty to their own original teams like even though Catwoman cares about
Batman and he cares about her.
She's a criminal so there always going to be at odds.
So just feel like their giving Margot Robbie the chance to build her character out like
a more fully formed Harley Quinn we saw little bit of her and suicide squad we kinda saw
her origin story.
They didn't do a really good job of spelling out how she feels about the Joker like is
very complicated.
So it's really hard to deal with unless you get your own movie which they're doing now.
So what they might do if they want to keep the character count from spilling out of control
is they'll just put Batman in the Joker in, in addition to the core Gotham city Sirens.
So you have Harley Quinn Catwoman and poison ivy teaming up to fight the Joker but then
you also have Batman that's trying to arrest them to, so it's really the girls against
the two dues which I feel like would make for a really awesome movie.
They haven't said anything about with the actual story is going to be.
So it's all speculation, you guys can let me know what you want them to do and who do
you want them to fight because there has to be a reason for them to come together has
to be an evil antagonists and there has to be the Batman antagonist is really the only
thing you can count on is that no matter what they do Batman will try to arrest them by
the end of the movie.
The next big thing you guys been wondering about.
They confirmed David Ayer is going to be directing it so happy you are probably like WTF is up
with that the other have a prior like okay, sure.
So what I think is going on is that he made a really solid suicide squad movie when the
studios saw it they thought the audience would respond to something a little bit lighter.
So he had all that drama within trying to cut the two different versions of the film
and merge them and make something that turned into a bit of a jumbled mess.
So I feel like they're confident in his ability as a filmmaker like he can make good movies
it just that they need more time to write the script.
David Ayer reportedly only had about six weeks to write the suicide squad script that was
one of the biggest problems is not having a real script that was ready, and to having
a very clear idea about what the film is going to be in, given the reaction to all the DC
stuff during 2016 Batman view Superman suicide squad.
I feel like they have a much better idea for the target that they want to hit and because
the main lead is going to be Harley Quinn the tone of the film will flow from her.
So if you want a good barometer for what the film is going to feel like just rewatch all
of Harley Quinn's suicide squad seems they actually just released extended version of
the DVD.
So there are more Joker Harley Quinn seems to do a slightly better job of characterizing
their relationship which is incredibly codependent and unhealthy home.
I'm just really he thinks he can take.
I would want to break those perfect porcelain when the juice came, so given that I think
that the Joker will wind up being the big villain of the film, but it won't start out
that way like they'll be something to drive Harley Quinn away from the Joker and over
the course of the film Harley Quinn will come to the realization that he needs to be stopped
and then eventually by the end of the film she's victorious, but she ends up getting
taken back to Bill Reeve or wherever black a prison or Arkham by Batman what about continuity
though you are asking like where does this film fit in the timeline.
So obviously they'll pick up after the events of suicide squad.
But they can get this movie and Batman started in time than they can just have the end of
this movie role into the beginning of the Batman film was can happen next is I'll post
my flash video.
I'll be talking about who the fastest flash is like ranking all the members of the flash
family from fastest to slowest on how to do that you do want to know when you see for
yourself will use them faster than Barry.
I'm saying that this point in his training as to the so a lot of you are asking who is
the fastest flash, so that video post Wednesday morning then I'll post some Star Wars while
you guys wait for that to post you can click here to watch the trailer for the next episode
of the flash and you can click here for all my Justice League videos thank you so much
