Harley Quinn and the gang deliver a romp through the seedy underbelly of the Dceu in Birds of Prey!
This article contains nothing but Birds of Prey spoilers. We have a spoiler-free review right here.
Birds of Prey is the latest entry in Warner Bros.' sprawling Dceu shared universe of superhero movies. It's not just any superhero movie though. Birds of Prey offers up a female-led, female directed R-rated action romp through the grimy streets of North Gotham. Like any good comic book movie, the Cathy Yan helmed flick includes a whole bunch of impressive Easter eggs from deep cut DC Comics references to ridiculous Batman '66 nods all the way through some awesome homages to Harley's origin.
As always we're trying to catch all of the Easter eggs and secrets that Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn has to offer...

Harley Quinn breaks out another deep-cut character in an ep that showcases the talented cast and introduces the first true flaw in the show.
This Harley Quinn review contains spoilers.
Oh, DC, what are we going to do with you? Harley Quinn is seven episodes in and has so far been an entertaining take on the titular anti-heroine. But this week DC Universe's flagship mature animation demonstrates where the creative team's imaginations stop, which is apparently when it comes to already established, canon, same sex relationships.
With Harley (Kaley Cuoco) still on her quest to join the Legion of Doom she chooses to help break out Wanda Sykes' Queen of Fables who was briefly featured in an earlier episode. The villainess is quickly out of control as she slaughters an entire family reunion with the Big Bad Wolf and then sends the Three Little Pigs to eat the bodies,...

For some reason I seem to be reviewing a lot of comics with female leads at the moment. Lois Lane, Mary Jane, Black Canary, the female Doctor (from Doctor Who), and now one of my personal favourites, Supergirl, and Batwoman. Which is nice. It’s nice because there is such a lot of stuff to choose from out there, and female characters are as likely to get chosen as any others. I remember getting laughed at back in the early 1980′s because I read Wonder Woman. Couldn’t understand why, as she was as iconic a character as Superman or Batman but, apparently, because she was a ‘girl’ she didn’t count. How times have changed, albeit after taking a several year detour through the Bad Girl T&a era of the 1990′s, which I’m willing to bet my...

Whenever a new year approaches, I normally have a clear idea of which superhero movie will be my most anticipated. In the case of 2020, I’d like to say it’s Birds of Prey, yet I’m internally conflicted.
You see, even though I’ve been dying to see Black Canary and Huntress on the silver screen, the costuming department apparently decided to ignore using comic books for reference. Not only do those ladies’ outfits look nothing like their counterparts’ on the printed page, but neither does Harley Quinn’s. They’re basically unrecognizable. And there’s also the matter of significant reshoots to consider – but I’ll remain cautiously optimistic.
Regardless, we must brace ourselves because the marketing machine is starting to turn its gears. In an effort to entice casual fans to take a closer look at the books, DC Comics will be releasing three Birds of Prey...

To lovers of the extended Bat-Family, the upcoming Birds of Prey movie could be described as a dream come true. I don’t know about you, but I’m super excited to see the likes of Black Canary and Huntress on the silver screen – not to mention the cinematic debut of the villainous Black Mask.
As you likely know by now, Harley Quinn accounts for a significant part of the equation. After all, we’re to be firsthand witnesses of her “Fantabulous Emancipation.” We may have already met Margot Robbie’s iteration of the character in 2016’s Suicide Squad, sure, but there’s so much more to explore with her.
Case in point are some images making their rounds over at Reddit. Seen below, Ms. Robbie can be glimpsed in the midst of her training for the DC-based epic. And to someone as intimately familiar with comics starring the Clown...

It wasn’t very long ago that I expressed my gratitude to the folks behind Michigan Comic Con for allowing geeks in my home state to partake in yet another sizable event geared toward those of our persuasion. And after being one among thousands to file into Cobo Arena this past weekend, I can say that, perhaps like those of you reading this, I’d made memories to last a lifetime.
Aside from running into many friends I’ve made over the years frequenting the convention scene, I, of course, made a few new ones along the way. Not only that, but the late addition of Kevin Conroy to the guest list was something that was much appreciated, for I’ve yet to see him at a show in this area. Needless to say, the man whom many regard as being the definitive voice of Batman was easily among the...

Being someone who’s covered conventions of varying sizes around southeast Michigan for the past five years, I’ve been clamoring for another big event aimed at the comic book crowd to come to Detroit. Like many of you, I feel that just one hasn’t been enough, and though the small and mid-sized shows are certainly lots of fun, there’s just nothing like a sprawling showroom floor populated by vendors, writers, artists and healthy amount of celebrities.
Well, soon enough, that’s going to change once the first ever Michigan Comic Con arrives in downtown Detroit this August, which is sure to satisfy our geeky needs for the summertime. And seeing as how it’s brought to us by the same folks behind Tampa Bay, San Francisco, Indiana and Atlanta Comic Cons, I think it’s safe to say we’re all in for a weekend to remember.

For me, it always makes for an interesting read whenever you see the immediate fallout explored after a major event or story arc concludes. Really, I like to be assured that there are consequences and actually happen to be a comic book reader that’s not opposed to change.
Well, in the next issue of Teen Titans, expect to see how the recently concluded “Super Sons of Tomorrow” continues to affect some of DC’s most popular adolescent heroes. And yes, we’re talking about the very same tale that included the awesomely insane version of Tim Drake from an alternate timeline.
Thanks to DC Entertainment, we’re able to exclusively present some of the first images taken from the next chapter in the ongoing saga, each of which can be viewed in the accompanying gallery.
