“You ever hear the one about the cop, the songbird, the psycho and the mafia princess?”
After the incredible success of THE JOKER starring Joaquin Phoenix, DC Comics returns with the eighth movie in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), Birds of Prey, a follow-up to the 2016 spin-off Suicide Squad.
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is a twisted tale told by Harley herself, as only Harley can tell it. When Gotham’s most nefariously narcissistic villain, Roman Sionis, and his zealous right-hand Zsasz, put a target on a young girl named Cass, the city is turned upside down looking for her. Harley, Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya’s paths collide, and the unlikely foursome have no choice but to team up to take Roman Down.
BackstageOL will be hosting advance screenings for DC Comics’ Birds of Prey on Wednesday, February 5 in the following cities:
