Plus leave us a comment down below with your thoughts on the Birds of Prey Trailer.
With that lets get to todays video of the Top 10 Birds of Prey Easter Eggs and Trailer
Explained.
With that quick teaser for the new Harley Quinn solo film called Birds of Prey and the
fantabulous emancipation of one Harley Quinn we get a rapid showcase of the main cast for
the movie.
This film started out as a Harley Quinn solo movie, but it looks more like a girl gang
film with the introduction of the Birds of Prey.
The emancipation part of the title could be referring to her distancing herself from the
Joker.
The main plot points to mention is that these women are all batman related villains.
Harley Quinn joins forces with Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya to save the life
of a little girl named Cassandra Cain.
This girl gang team up happens when they need to rescue Cassandra from the evil crime lord
Black Mask played by Ewan McGregor.
That essentially sums up the trailer, so lets give you 10 easter eggs we spotted that confirms
these characters.
#10 Drink Up This silhouette of a woman downing a bottle
of liquor is none other than Black Canary.
In the comic books she has quite the reputation of being a hard drinking woman and even that
spotlight in the back shows off this characters personality.
The light suggests that shes on a stage, which would perfectly match her rock star background
in the comics.
#9 The Cast In that shot we get a close-up of a young
girls arm, it has some playing cards drawn on along with some profanities.
Oh and lets not forget the big Gotham text running down the middle.
This is the arm of Cassandra Cain who fights under the codename Orphan in the Batman comic
books.
She also is the daughter of trained assassins David Cain and Lady Shiva.
The emancipation title could also be applied to Cassandras character with her needing to
be freed from the grips of the Black Mask.
#8 Bat-Girl
Now we get this shot of a woman holding a bat with lyrics written all over it.
This woman in the yellow costume could be Harley Quinn without her joker makeup and
possible the bat she stole from the Joker.
We know that Bat-Girl is part of the birds of prey group, but this movie seems to be
made up of villains.
So this could be Harley Quinns attempt at becoming a new Bat-Girl.
Especially considering that purple and yellow are traditionally colors that belong to the
Bat-Girl costume.
#7 The Huntress As I mentioned Huntress will be appearing
in this movie as well and in the teaser we see her holding that signature crossbow wearing
a long dark coat.
Helena is the last surviving daughter of one of the big 5 families that comprise Gothams
Mafia.
She may actually be the reason why this girl gang is hunting down the Black Mask considering
her history.
She devotes her life to waging war on criminals and more notably the mobsters responsible
for killing her family.
#6 Sonic Scream In this shot we get a closer look at Black
Canary that I mentioned before in that silhouette shot.
The shot of her standing at the microphone reinforces the origins of her character, its
believed that shes either a cabaret singer or rock star that Harley Quinn meets while
shes performing.
In the DC comics universe Black Canarys secret identity is a rock star because she primarily
works as a spy for ARGUS and a covert-ops group.
Black Canary is famous for using her sonic scream power to bring the house and her enemies
down which the shot on the right is alluding to.
#5 Renee Montoya
Its still unclear how much of this characters background will be introduced into the Birds
of Prey movie.
Renee worked as a beat cop for Gotham City until becoming a vigilante when she donned
Vic Sages mask to become the second question.
Her character is also a closeted lesbian that even had a relationship with Kate Kane before
she became Batwoman.
So they have a lot to work with when using this character, but even if they still have
her as a rookie cop she still is a force to be reckoned with .
#4 Black Mask
We get a couple looks at the crime lord the Black Mask in this teaser trailer.
One of his wearing gold-rimmed glasses while in a suit which shows off that he comes from
money.
More specifically hes the descendant of an old-money Gotham family.
He soon turned to a life of crime after he became obsessed with masks and essentially
ruined his fathers cosmetics firm.
(show photo https://bit.ly/2sStncj) Either way we hope they can really nail that mask
he wears in the comics when they bring this character to live action.
#3 Victor Zsasz That blonde Chris Messina character is none
other than Victor Zsasz and another descendant from the Gotham City upper class.
This character is pretty dark and would go along perfectly with the villainous Black
Mask.
Victor became a serial killer of sorts after he lost everything he owned to gambling and
before taking his own life was stopped by a homeless man that he ended up killing.
He then made it his mission to - save - people by ending what he calls their pointless existence.
He even cuts himself every time he kills someone almost to mark another person hes quote unquote
- freed.
#2 The Mallet At the very beginning of the trailer we see
the ankles of a woman holding a mallet.
Given the sparkly red and purple socks matched with Harley Quinns favorite weapon, its safe
to assume this is Harley Quinn.
There must be some significance to showing off these different stages of her character
and leads us to believe that the film will take the audience through her journey to emancipating
herself from the Joker.
Plus it would be great to see her smash the Black Mask or Victor Zsasz with that mallet.
#1 Birds of Prey In the final shot of the teaser we see Margot
Robbie as Harley Quinn dancing around drink in hand with that very flashy jacket.
With that shot of her in the hot pink top and orange suspenders it gives us third look
at the evolution of character.
This look is more akin to her colorful and cheerful comic book appearances.
This is perhaps her final look after uniting the birds of prey, finding her identification
as a character and celebrating as such.
Right after that the trailer says - see you soon - This is pointing to some further trailers
that will hopefully tell us more as this movies release is still a ways away.
And that has been the Top 10 Birds of Prey Easter Eggs and Trailer Explained.
