* Of course Harley is the one who suggests a team up. Her [[Film/SuicideSquad last film]] involved her being on a team.
* The Joker went from being [[Film/SuicideSquad a tattooed gangster who cared about Harley]] to a dandy that couldn't stand her. Seems like CharacterDerailment at first, but the Joker [[ComicBook/ArkhamAsylumASeriousHouseOnSeriousEarth does have a reputation of changing with the wind]].

* The BigLippedAlligatorMoment where Harley [[CloudCuckoolander hallucinates herself singing "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend"]] is pretty weird, splits up a ColdBloodedTorture scene, and is never mentioned again. However, right before the song starts, [[WouldHitAGirl she gets hit HARD in the face]] and this means [[RealityEnsues she may have gotten a minor concussion.]]

* Montoya ending up unexpectedly putting on Harley's red & black corset which turns out to be bulletproof -- after at first regarding it in disgust -- makes sense. Since she's an experienced policewoman, Montoya realized when she handled it that it was body armor.

* The LogoJoke depicts a frowny face on the DC logo. In one sense it represents Harley having a bad time at the beginning, but in another sense it represents Harley doing her best to distace herself from a villain whose trademark is a smile.

** Others theorize that since she's intensely focusing on something (the diamond) while she goes through the dance sequence in her head may be some form of a coping mechanism given her already shattered mental state and her way of blocking out the pain.

* If you look closely at Cassandra’s cast, you can see insults like “bitch” and “asshole” written on there. I highly doubt any random adult on the streets would be writing on a 13-year-old’s cast since that’s normally what close peers do to each other, much less words like that, and I doubt she would be even interacting with anyone on the streets since she pickpockets and runs. Possible bullying at school?

* When it's revealed Helena is the same Helena Bertinelli of the Bertinelli massacre, Harley notes right away that having gone through such a bloody event as a child would be seriously traumatic. Of course she realizes that quickly, she used to be a psychiatrist.

* It makes sense Renee Montoya would act like a bad '80's movie cop because if she's the same age as her actress, she would have been training to become a cop mid-'80's and was probably surrounded by those bad '80's movies.

* This interpretation of Sionis is an interesting take on his ties to Bruce Wayne. In some comics, Bruce and Roman were 'friends' as children (or at least the Sionis parents ''wanted'' to associate with the Waynes to boost their own social standing), which leaves to Sionis becoming the criminal version of Batman with varying degrees of skill. In this adaptation, while Sionis sets out to present an intimidating persona to Gotham's criminals in his 'Black Mask' guise, in practice he is a petty spoiled playboy who represents what Bruce Wayne could be if he really was the rich idiot he pretends to be while having absolutely no thought for the consequences beyond what benefits him.
