- Here are seven details
in the new "Birds of Prey" trailer
that have fans hyped.
Hot off the continued success of "Joker,"
we have a brand spanking new trailer
for the next DC film to hit theaters,
February's "Birds of Prey,
"and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn."
And just for the sake of brevity
so we don't have to say that full title from here on out,
we're gonna refer to it as B-O-P-A-T-F-E-O-O-H-Q.
Just flows off the tongue.
And fans are definitely on board for whatever I just said,
taking to all corners of the internet
and shouting from their rooftops, if they have them,
their excitement for this movie.
But what exactly has them so hyped up?
Well actually quite a few things.
So let's break down the seven biggest things
from the brand new "Birds of Prey" trailer
that have fans over the moon.
First off, the destruction of Ace Chemicals.
Now you might remember this as where
Harley took her big leap to prove herself
to the Joker in "Suicide Squad."
(bell dings)
Her blowing it to smithereens is symbolic,
not only for Harley Quinn stepping out from the shadow
of "Suicide Squad's" Joker, but for audiences as well.
With the love that Joaquin Phoenix received
for his version of the Joker,
and with Leto leaving DC to play a living vampire
over at Sony's Marvel universe,
it seems that everyone involved is ready for a clean break.
It's time for change.
But another thing has fans extra hyped
at the beginning of this trailer,
and it's not even a clip from the movie,
but the R rating this film's receiving.
And it isn't shocking to see why
this movie has the full adult rating treatment,
given the cocaine-fueled shenanigans
that Harley gets up to later in the trailer.
Great fuel for smashing dudes in the face with a bat.
And based on the success of other
adult-oriented comic book films of late -
"Joker," "Deadpool," "Logan" -
it's not much of a stretch to see Warner Bros.
willing to roll the dice with this particular outing.
Another detail that has fans hyped
is just how good this film looks.
And we don't mean just the gorgeous color palette,
but the action and fight scenes
that are displayed in this trailer.
And guess what?
There's a reason these look so stunning,
and that's because stunt firm 87eleven,
who worked on "John Wick" and many other films,
have been working with director Cathy Yan on this film.
But in addition to the action,
fans are also looking forward to the acting.
Specifically when we get to see big screen versions
of Huntress, Cassandra Cain,
Detective Montoya, and Black Canary.
That rules.
And it's putting their skills to work in this trailer,
specifically the brief glimpse we get
of Black Canary's canary cry,
which can be seen rippling through the air.
That is something that had comic book fans
losing their dang minds.
Now of course it's not just this cast of unlikely heroes
forced to work together to survive
that has audiences like, totally onboard,
but it's the film's villains as well.
While we already knew that Chris Messina
would be playing hot Victor Zsasz,
and Ewan McGregor would be playing
hot Roman Sionis, a.k.a. hot Black Mask,
you know the internet was craving more footage
of these two baddies specifically.
Especially since up until now, we hadn't seen
Black Mask in his eponymous black mask.
Thankfully, our wishes came true
because we finally got to see that black mask, baby!
And while covering up Ewan McGregor's gorgeous face
should be a crime punishable by public execution
at The Hague, well, we're gonna go ahead
and grant full pardons all around on this one.
You're lucky.
And I mean, come on!
That shot of Roman and Victor just laughing together
contains toxic levels of handsomeness
being displayed on screen.
Who wrote this thirsty-ass script anyway?
(high-pitched tone)
But the thing that may have most whipped fans into a frenzy
is that button at the end of the trailer,
Harley Quinn's hyena.
Now fans didn't even have time to be disappointed
that it wasn't named Bud or Lou,
because naming it Bruce after that hunky Bruce Wayne
is just too perfect.
Plus, many fans are claiming that the hyena's laugh
is actually a better laugh than Leto's Joker.
(hyena chuckles)
(Dan imitates Leto's Joker laugh)
Oh my god.
(Joker screeches)
Now, despite all the love,
there was actually still some debate,
'cause it had fans questioning whether human Bruce Wayne,
not hyena Bruce Wayne, would be in this movie,
and if that role would be played by "Suicide Squad" era
Batman, Ben Affleck, or current Batman, Robert Pattinson.
Either could definitely fit into a movie like this,
but we'll just have to wait and see when
"Birds of Prey, and the Fantabulous Emancipation
"of One Harley Quinn," drops next month.
Or should I say B-O-P-A-T-F-E-O-O-H-Q.
When that drops.
But what do you folks think?
What has you so hyped about "Birds of Prey" anyway?
What do you hope to see in this movie?
And do you think that them calling the film
B-O-P-A-T-F-E-O-O-H-Q will catch on?
Because I certainly hope not.
