For a while, it seemed that the Harley Quinn movie wasn't really going anywhere. Whilst she will be starring in the upcoming Suicide Squad 2 (2019, Gavin O'Connor) her other projects don't seem to have made any progression. But yesterday the project took a huge stride as it was announced that unknown director Cathy Yan (Dead Pigs, According To My Mother)  has been hired to direct a DC movie starring Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie)  and to feature the Superhero team Birds Of Prey. With the script being written by Christina Hodson (Shut in, Bumblebee). This news was first reported by Deadline Hollywood. First Thoughts I'm very intrigued by this idea. I'm not entirely on board with it, as there are things that I have issues with, but I'm very intrigued. I think Cathy Yen is an interesting choice for Harley Quinn, I'm very happy to see Margot Robbie (Wolf Of Wall Street, I, Tonya)  come back to the role, as she was very good in Suicide Squad (2016, David Ay

Yesterday evening Warner Bros. announced that Joss Whedon (The Avengers, Serenity)  is leaving Batgirl, after being signed on to the project nearly a year ago in March 2017. Whedon himself issued the following statement: "Batgirl is such an exciting project, and Warners/DC such collaborative and supportive partners, that it took me months to realise I really didn't have a story.

So in this post, I'll be looking into the factors I believe caused Joss Whedon to leave Batgirl. And looking to the future of the project. Just to be clear, I'm not saying that these are de

During San Deigo Comic Con this year Warner Bros. Animation premiered their long awaited adaptation of Batman: The Killing Joke. For those who don't read comics, Batman: The Killing Joke is one of the most iconic, and most praised, Joker stories ever published. If you're ever wanting to get into comics, particularly Batman comics, then this story would be at your essential look into The Joker. This is because the comic shows the Joker at, arguably, his most darkest. Particularly at the time when comics were leaning away from kid-friendly material and going in a more dark and adult direction.    So because of how much fans loved the comic the animated adaptation of it has a very high standard to live up to. It's even rated R so that it can adapt the comic as best it can. But the question is does it deliver? And I would have to say no. There were some thing I liked about it and some things I really didn't. But overall, the cons outweighed the pros. Also, there will b
