Cuz I was to enjoy this movie.

I thought Margot's HQ was the only saving grace of the hot mess that was, "Suicide Squad," and I've been in love with Rosie Perez since the late 80s, but also, I was hoping that it would do boffo at the box-office just to piss off the people who tried to put, "Captain Marvel," and "Wonder Woman," into an early grave because they don't like strong female leads. Not saying you're that kind. There's a way to present a story with a particular narrative, but if you do it too ham-fistedly it doesn't make for a good experience even if it's a message you support.

The Harley Quinn cartoon on DC's streaming service, while very violent, is very funny, focuses on Harley trying to break away from her abusive relationship with the Joker and has a lot o quirky takes on familiar characters, one of the best being Bane, who speaks like Tom Hardy's rendition from, "The Dark Knight," rises, and it's implied that the real reason he blew up Gotham Stadium was because he got a bar trivia question wrong about which visiting team had played there the most.
