![]() Even DC Universe’s recent animated series, Harley Quinn, has gone all in on a mature take. But even comic creators have found freedom at the Big Two to go darker with Marvel MAX, and the current DC Black Label, which has had a recent run of excellent R-rated Harley Quinn content, including Stjepan Sejic’s Harleen, and Kami Garcia, Michael Mayhew and Mico Suayan’s Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity. Comic writers and artists managed just fine keeping language and violence in the teen range over the years, and a lot of that comes down to sales and merchandizing. If we’re being honest, there aren’t any superhero films from Marvel or DC proper that need an R-rating. There have even been suggestions and claims amid the ever-unsatisfied mire that makes up social media that films like Deadpool and Logan receiving R-ratings are understandable, but not for Birds of Prey. There’s an obvious difference between the PG-13 of The Dark Knight (2008) and that of Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018). And the argument for accessibility doesn’t take into account that not even all PG-13 comic books movies are created equally for all audiences. Out of the dozens of comic book movies based on DC and Marvel characters, you can count the R-rated ones on two hands and a couple extra fingers. ![]() ![]() And in terms of accessibility, well it’s not like the vast majority of superhero movies are R. And when it comes to the Big Two, Marvel and DC, many of the characters, even if introduced in order to captivate children, have evolved, and grown up with their fan base, while still able to exist in stories aimed at new, and younger readers. It’s an elastic medium, able to appeal across all age groups of varying levels of literacy. Comics can be for kids, and many are, but there are many that aren’t. Neither sentiment holds much water though. The hemming, hawing and handwringing over comic book accuracy over the last several months was ultimately all for nothing.īut there does appear to be some renewed controversy of the “comics are for kids” and “ BOP should be accessible to everyone,” variety. It’s obvious that Yan and writer Christina Hodson went all in on the comic book references while still making a film that doesn’t feel fixed to one specific story or take on the characters. Harley’s hyenas, who debuted alongside the character in Batman: The Animated Series, and Bernie the beaver, from Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti’s run, are also along for the ride. A recent TV spot for the film even showcased Huntress in a more familiar costume, complete with a mask. Additionally, Roman Sionis (Ewan McGregor) will be donning his trademarked Black Mask, which we can’t believe was ever a question, and Black Canary will exhibit meta powers with her sonic scream. While some fans feared Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez), and Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco) would take a back seat to the more popular Harley Quinn ( Margot Robbie), the film looks like the team-up it was always said to be. The latest trailer features plenty for comic book readers to love.
