Can I help you?
Why Yes, yes you can. I'm here to report a terrible crime.
And what terrible crime is that?
This one!
Aw sh*t. I told this all wrong. Quick history lesson.
And soon enough.
Psychologically speaking. Vengeance rarely brings
the catharsis we hope for.
yeah
Are we ready?!
You named him Bruce? After that hunky Wayne guy.
Welcome back, everyone it's Charlie big surprise.
They dropped the brand-new birds of prey trailer so we'll break it down there's a whole bunch
of Easter eggs, a couple more Batman name drops more Joker name drops as well as black
mask in full comic book black mask.

to all you do to enter is be subscriber and leave your favorite Harley Quinn moment from
anything on the video.
There was an interview little while ago that Margo Robbie did about the film explaining
what's going on with the Joker how this relates to the other DC films and how they tell the
story of this film.
The important thing with the way they're telling this story is that most of the film is nonlinear
jumping all over Harley Quinn's timeline until you get to the third act then it becomes a
linear so it's a sort of Harley Quinn being this unreliable narrator telling you her own
back story jumping around from event to event the kind of did the unreliable narrator thing
with Joaquin Phoenix is Joker movie were you not quite sure whether or not you're getting
the truth because you're getting it from his perspective.
The whole time with so that they're using a little bit of that type of storytelling
for the Harley Quinn birds of prey story.
The song the plays across this entire trailer is Bjork's cover of its so quiet which is
a cover of a Betty Hutton classic show tune from 1951.
They did the same thing with the last big trailer you have Harley Quinn doing Marilyn
Monroe from gentlemen prefer blondes, which was also covered by Madonna later sued of
the entire movie is going to be like this, or they just engineered the trailers to work
this way, but Harley Quinn's pageantry is like level X during this seriously for most
comic book movies you expect the main characters to get a couple costume changes or some upgrade
but because this is Harley Quinn you get like 10 different outfit changes in fact most of
the other birds of prey seem like they were the exact same outfits of the entire movie
Harley Quinn is probably the only one that shows up every 15 minutes in a completely
separate outfit the opening scene of the trailer seems like it's her rescuing one of the other
birds of prey from lockup.
It's not clear which Police Department.
This is because later in the trailer you find out that Renee Montoya is basically being
kicked to the curb because she's trying to investigate black mask, so the rest of the
police department is giving her the middle finger laughing at her for trying to take
down black mask makes them seem kind of dirty so don't know what's going on with this particular
precinct and where Commissioner Gordon is in all this.
Most of the time when you see a dirty precinct in a Batman story Batman winds up taking that
precinct down with the help of Gordon they give you little more context for her back
story with Joker leading up to the events of this film because this is coming after
the last suicide squad film and in that post credit scene Joker shows up to Bell rev to
break her out see you kind of wonder what happened in those couple years between these
movies but if it wasn't clear.
This is obvious he taking place after the last suicide squad film, but probably before
the next suicide squad film the James Gunn is doing that film will also feature version
of Margo Robbie's Harley Quinn I'm assuming it will be set after the events of this movie
but that's not totally clear yet.
So what is worry about it when it's our dropping footage for the next suicide squad film, but
this is basically Harley Quinn blowing up ace chemical to cortical break up with the
Joker two things we could probably assume here.
She did not leave a note and she did not actually kill the Joker she just blowing up his quote
of quote home base and a lot of you are also asking where is the Joker.
How does he figure into this movie.
Are there any scenes with Jared Leto's version the Joker just for continuity sake Margo Robbie
revealed that there is no Jared Leto anywhere in this film.
They did use a body double for some distant scenes but you don't actually see the Joker
himself on screen.
So you would be able to tell that it's not your Leto playing the Joker, but is meant
to be his version the rest of the trailer is dedicated just explaining what the actual
story is why they come together why black mask wants to kill every single one of them
as she says during the trailer turns out, when you're not with the Joker anymore a lot
of people want to kill you they're all terrified of the Joker the clown Prince of crime even
black mask.
So now that she's not with Joker anymore.
She's basically saying that they declared open season on Harley Quinn just look in the
background for second to it the way she's decorated her apartment.
I we see she's throwing knives at the picture of the Joker in the back like us is it meant
to be the Jared Leto version the Joker, but she's at the stuffed animal Kleenex holder
right next to her to give you little more the black mask plot obvious either running
Gotham city imports and the McGuffin of the film that diamond that Cassandra Cain winds
up swiping it sounds like she just pickpocketing and she doesn't know what it is she steals
to way later like she sees this giant diamond is like holy crap what is grad from this dude,
this is Christmas and as victors as character victors as obvious you know from the comics,
but he's second in command in the movie to Ewan McGregor's black mask with her making
sound like the biggest criminal at least right now and got them in this trailer like there
obviously lots of crime families and got them during the events of the film black Masters
happens to be the most powerful this her to introduce the other birds of prey characters.
This is Helena Bertinelli Huntress.
They explained her the trailer she wound up killing one of black mass best friends they
don't say who that was.
So you just left a wonder I'm guessing at some point during the film someone will reference
who that was with going to be some big Batman comic book character over the most part it
seems like she's a pretty authentic version of comic book Huntress comes from the Bertinelli
crime family but then rejects them answers going around killing mobsters one by one.
This seems like it's coming from.
Much later in the film.
This might be after she bussed her at a prison so maybe it is Cassandra Cain who's in that
lockup when she goes in the beginning of the trailer you can kind of use the trailer footage
to chart the timeline of the movie based on the different outfits the Harley Quinn wears
because like I said there are many different outfits.
This is a very Deadpool asked scene of Harley Quinn trying to fight this biker gang off
inside this evidence locker, but she sits behind this giant pile of below then inhales
that in his very Deadpool asked who I'm touching myself kind of moment.
I have a big plan in then that things go completely off the rails.
If you think it's weird to see Harley Quinn doing drugs in the trailer it's probably because
the movie is rated R's with going to be a little more hard-core.
Even though this trailer is a green band version of the trailer the biker gang takes a face
full of blow.
So even though she just kicks the crap out of them.
You have to imagine that by the time they go down.
She says that dues beard on fire.
They are probably high is kites more them cutting loose in the supermarket having fun
doing a big shopping spree getting food and also getting food for the hyena is a giant
bag of dog food in their the you can't see we finally get an answer about what's going
on with black canaries Canary cry truth that she is a med Ewan during the trailer.
So whatever continuity you think this version of Gotham existed within the Batman movie
mythos.
There are still meta-humans.
I mean we still have characters like the flash so people do have biological powers is they
didn't make that really overtly clear from the last trailer, but here you actually see
her using her sonic canary cry to one break that class while she's singing, but also to
take than that giant group of black mass villains in the parking lot later Harley Quinn says
she pretrade black mass but it's not clear what she did to betray black mask all the
stuff of them inside the amusement park is taking place on amusement mile which is always
a very seminal location within the Batman mythos for the Joker in the Harley Quinn character
love the way they all react to Huntress's unbridled rage way more black mask suiting
up in a couple different costumes and a bunch of different sequences also more of the false
face Society gang wearing their mass to we see them in the previous trailers, but they
just give you much better look in this trailer they show you her and Cassandra Cain getting
some burritos.
It looks like just enjoying the smell with the hyena in the back was she's named Bruce
after Bruce Wayne, Batman is not clear if Batman is going to be featured anywhere during
the movie.
I'm not expecting him, but there's this Bruce Wayne reference.
I'm assuming there's maybe a couple other Bruce Wayne references or the big guy the
back guy babies offhanded Batman remarks without directly referencing Batman were in a weird
place cinematically with our version of Batman because they're making Robert Patton since
the Batman movie right now we actually seen him on set technically the Batman of this
movie should be Ben Affleck, but it don't know if he's going to be featured in any of
the future movies.
Even the flash flashpoint movie that they just announced there also a lot of people.
After the last trailer that claimed that there were two hyenas in the back of her car, but
this clearly shows that there's one hyena in instead of it being Bud and Lou from the
original animated series those of the two hyenas that she has during that she might
just have the one hyena Bruce for most of the movie.
Maybe she gets another hyena at the end of the movie to use when they change things like
that is usually for the sake of practicality like you have a combination of different types
of special effects to pull off the hyena in the scenes.
Some of the scenes with it seems like their animatronic like when it's in the bathtub
laughing after she references Batman then because there's a grand tradition of Harley
Quinn unleashing her hyenas upon people that she doesn't like the place scene where she
use that to maul someone that apply be full CG that some of the roller derby Harley Quinn
scenes.
I don't know what kind of roller derby she's doing during the course of the film.
Maybe that's just something that she picks up in her free time after she's not with the
Joker anymore, but they going to turn into this big roller derby action scene later when she's
trying to rescue Cassandra Cain from black mask in his car.
The funny thing about Harley Quinn in this scene here when she's talking to Huntress
about her rage.
You have to remember that Dr. Harleen Quinzel was actually a psychologist at Arkham
Asylum before she became Harley Quinn she was the one that was brought in to psychoanalyze
the Joker before he wound up twisting her to his ways and she became the Harley Quinn
character.
So just because she's been Harley Quinn this whole time doesn't mean that she still not
a really good psychologist.
She can psychoanalyze all these other people, so maybe she does some of that during the
film they got into a little bit of that back story during the last suicide squad film,
but she's just been in full Harley Quinn costume going crazy like comic book Harley Quinn for
so long as you kind of forget that she actually used to be a really good doctor is a big montage
of action scenes from previous trailers that we've seen from across the movie that she
looks to camera wall back in her car breaking the fourth wall so does Sally should be breaking
the fourth wall little bit during the film little bit dead.
Not quite the way that Deadpool does it.
The funny thing about the Deadpool in the Harley Quinn characters as they kind of use
them in similar ways in the comics to comment on the action of whatever stories that there
in breaking the fourth wall is they both debuted relatively close to each other in the early
90s Deadpool came first and new mutants.
Number 98 in 1991 Harley Quinn debuted the next year in 1992 on Batman the animated series
in the episode Joker's favor if you not the comic book reader Harley Quinn is actually
probably one of the most famous examples of a character in the comics that super popular
in present day that did not debut originally in the comic she debuted on the TV show.
Everyone loved it.
So they brought her into the comics, everyone loved it even more and she wanted to become
even more popular over time, but everyone let me know in the comments if he spotted
any big Easter eggs in the trailer that I didn't mention in the video I will be doing
review videos Easter eggs and everything for this movie when it comes out next month I
