![]() ![]() Harley’s same-sex relationship is not the only visible queerness in Birds of Prey, with the film honouring the comic book sexuality of lesbian cop-turned-vigilante Renee Montoya, played by Rosie Perez – including some awkwardness with her ex-girlfriend, who happens to be Gotham City district attorney. There’s queerness everywhere in Birds of Prey – if you know where to look. Sadly, the low box office turnout for Birds of Prey would indicate that a follow-up with Poison Ivy is unlikely.īesides, it’s unclear who could possibly come close to matching the horny plant energy that Uma Thurman projected into the role for infamous 1997 flop Batman & Robin. The film’s five main heroes includes two queer characters, Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya “I’ve been trying to… I would love to have Poison Ivy thrown into the universe, because the Harley and Poison Ivy relationship is one of my favourite aspects of the comics, so I’m looking to explore that on screen.” “In some comics they convey it as a friendship in other comics you can see that they’re actually sexually involved as a couple. Margot Robbie has spoken previously about her desire to adapt that storyline, saying in 2018: “If you read the comics you know that Poison Ivy and Harley have an intimate relationship. While news for the DC cinematic universe (sorry, we mean “Worlds of DC”), the character’s same-sex relationship will not be news for fans of the comic books – with Harley confirmed to be dating fellow baddie Poison Ivy in 2017.

In it, the character explains how she had a series of failed relationships before meeting the Joker, with a virtual slot machine quickly depicting her exes. The moment is at the very start of the film, during an animated sequence explaining Harley Quinn’s origins. The film, which sees Margot Robbie reprise the role she played to acclaim in 2016’s Suicide Squad, made a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it revelation about the character. New DC film Birds of Prey confirmed that Harley Quinn is bisexual. ![]()
