There's a Harley Quinn animated film announced, and Margot Robbie is voicing Harley.

Apparently it's going to be a Gotham City Sirens adapt. They're sticking to female screenwriters for this one.

IMO Selina makes a better protagonist for a Gotham City Sirens plot than Harley does, which is why she tends to be the front character for their adventures in the comics, but I'm still optimistic.

Uhhhhhhh...

Wait a minute, who said Gotham City Sirens was going to be animated?

That article didn't say anything about the movie being animated, so why's this here?

Even if it were, I am super leery of the idea of Margot Robbie doing the voice. That part was easily the worst aspect of her portrayal from what I saw of the Suicide Squad trailers.

[up] As someone who actually saw Suicide Squad, I can honestly say that Harley's pretty great there.

Hell, I distinctly remember reading that she took Batman: The Animated Series as inspiration for Harley's comedic scenes in that movie.

This isn't animated it will be live action directed by David Ayer and written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet.

It is set in the DCEU and it is the movie Margot Robbie pitched to Warner Bros. before Suicide Squad was released.

[up]To the critics but I loved both Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman.

I liked Suicide Squad but not as much as the other two movies in the DCEU.

On the one hand, I do quite enjoy the Gotham City Sirens comics and look forward to seeing Poison Ivy and Harley working together on the big screen.

On the other, uuuuuuuuuuugh not david ayer again

(On a third, secret hand, shouldn't this thread be moved to live-action, since we know it's not animated?)

Well, shows how much I was paying attention. I misread and thought they said it was going to be an animated film.

Margot killed it as Harley... but I actually do agree that her voice was the worst part.

How do I put it... the emotional acting in it was fine, but it was still annoying and her accent wasn't the best. I worry if Margot is doing voicework for Harley, to be honest (if that's the case, of course).

Jessica Chastain is open to playing Poison Ivy

I’m interested in all things where the characters are strong and dynamic, and not stereotypes or objects. I like female characters that are subjects, not objects. And so, if Poison Ivy happens to be that, sure. Throw my hat in the ring.

I was actually surprised by how much depth Arkham Knight gave to Poison Ivy. In a lot of cases she is treated as a plant themed man eater and overall eco terrorist, Bruce Timm even said he never felt they found a good balance with her. The main thing is that she is not really human anymore, meaning the tree hugger angle is a superficial look into who she is. In the Arkham games she seems to actually feel the pain of plants, and that casts a different light on why she does what she does.

David Ayer reveals why he's making Gotham City Sirens

“It’s a story about three fantastic women who’re trying to find their way in the world, and realize that they have more power together than they do individually,” Ayer said. “I have daughters, and I want to create something that might be able to help them get along in the world a little bit.”

Gotham City Sirens will team up Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Poison Ivy. It’s a passion project for Margot Robbie, who will produce and reprise her role as Harley Quinn.

When asked if Harley will have a new look in Gotham City Sirens, Ayer teased: “Let’s put a pin in that. Maybe next Comic-Con. Everybody evolves.”

Well I'm sure if Robbie is pushing this forward the way Ryan Reynolds did for Deadpool, she's going to have a new costume. That's one of the big things she hated about the role in Suicide Squad. It was cold out there on set, and she was in that skimpy outfit.

[up]She also said she liked eating huge burgers for lunch and she didn't think she was in great enough shape to wear the costume from Suicide Squad. She did like the costume in that it was something that the character would wear but not something she would wear personally.

I'd say she still pulled the outfit off, so there's that. Harley wore a bunch of costumes, didn't she?

Cautiously interested is me.

Great characters in theory, but very bad precedent in the SS movie. While I don't think Ayer crafted a masterpiece in the first place, I do think production was at least as much responsible for the disaster as he was, if not more.

Is there a projected release date yet, or are we guessing maybe 2018-2019 or so?

[up][up]Yeah David Ayer admitted in hindsight he should've had the Joker be the main villain in Suicide Squad either that or an enemy army. He said he messed up trying to have the Enchantress be the villain in Suicide Squad.

Sure there were other problems but the villain didn't fit to David Ayer's strengths at making war and police movies.

[up]They might announce it tomorrow; in that interview David Ayer said maybe next Comic Con we will see Harley Quinn in a new outfit.
