Deadpool made a ton of money by embracing the R rating.
Time for the first X rated comic book movie!

The 50,000,000 women who cosplayed Harley for Halloween this year disagree
Lmao, yes they did.
I know it's from a comic series but the title sounds corny and outdated and should be changed.
I'm not at all upset about them giving Ayer another chance. I think he has a much more interesting vision than superhack Zack Snyder and has made legitimately memorable movies in the past. The real problem is that WB executives have a habit of cauterizing these projects when they start to become interesting, which almost makes the talent of the director inconsequential.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Hopefully with a new writer and more time for pre-production, we'll get a better result. I'm excited to see these characters and who they cast. Just hoping they get it right this time.

I want to give Ayer the benefit of the doubt and say if they know what movie they're making from the jump, it might not be too bad. But even pre-reshoots you had a giant blue laser and dumb fodder baddies. What a shame.

Have Poison Ivy and Harley kiss and it'll be leading sheep to the slaughter for your average bonehead audience.

You say this as if there have been multiple big female roles in the DCU already.

Harley was popular, makes sense for the DC shit factory to do this.

Fury is legit fantastic. Where is that David Ayer? Get better writers with a premise that's actually fresh.
You say this as if any of there solo titles make as much as Harley solo book. The people have spoken with their cash and continued interest.

They were tricked by the marketing into thinking it'd actually be a good movie.

What are you talking about?
Slayven said he wished they pushed different female characters in their movies, you say she's the most popular. The problem is she's the only female character in any DCU movie that's had more than like 1 minute of screen time so of course she's going to be the most popular female character they have right now.

please dont body shame these strong women
Not really. Like two small scenes in the first movie. But the whole tension of the final battle in AoU is based around the threat to the civilians.
Why wouldn't they give Harley a movie? She's a great character.
People have been pushing for Harley to be in a movie since she appeared in the animated series. Lets be real here. You had a good Catwoman in Batman Returns.
But people have wanted to see Harley in a movie for the longest. They got that and by and large people loved it. That's why you're getting more.
yeah no. Harley has been the most popular female DC character for years.

Well...uh...I guess..hey, at least they got a female writer on this. But I just can't willingly get excited for an Ayer DC film after Suicide Squad. I'm not that much of a sucker for pain.
Not so sure about that...

The comic book audience and film audience aren't completely overlapping though.
What? you don't think people loved Harley in this movie? Most people that say this movie loved Margot in this role and that want more.

Because she basically already got a movie and it sucked. Especially if they keep Leto on as Joker, I don't have much hope for her in this, considering their scenes were the worst in SS.
She was... alright.. when she wasn't with him.

It can't be worse than Suicide Squad....can it?
I wouldn't say people loved the movie as your post suggested. Harley may have been a relative stand-out (relative is the key word there), but that doesn't mean shit for how people responded to the movie itself.

Maybe not in the absolute majority but it seemed for a lot of negative reviews, Harley was generally praised as one of the few good parts so it makes sense they're giving the character her own movie.

Then the public would get mad and say Harley is cheating on Joker.
It also made bank and she's literally one of the high points of the film among lots of people who watched it. Like even people who didn't like the movie say she did the role justice.
She didn' "get" a movie. She was part of an ensemble film. This would give more focus to her character. And I personally like her.
Yea they did. DC has been milkin Harley Quinn (that doesn't sound right) for awhile now and many people have been saying the DCCU should be doing the same. I'm all for more female led comic movies but when it comes to Harley it really depends on the writer how positive its going to turn out. You are either going to get Deadpool or you are going to get some awful sexploitation stuff.
People ask why he was hired. The response is his film made money. Quality is irrelevant,
meanwhile roxy rocket is covered in dust unused

I think they liked the design more than anything. Her costume was already on track to be the biggest of the year way before the movie came out. So people literally started embracing that version of the character before they saw the movie. I don't think it mattered how the character was written or who was in the role, it would have made the same splash if the design was the same.
You see this kinda thing on the Gaming Side a lot. Getting super invested in characters solely based off design, long before they've actually gotten a chance to do something.
Sorry if my post is worded badly, but most people loved her in the role, but even still. People responded by giving the movie $750 million. Regardless of what you are I think about the movie that's the metric people are looking at. How much merch did Harley sell?
Lots of people cosplayed and dressed up as her. Lots of people loved her character.
