![]() That's what I love about the comic books you can kind of like pick it up and put it down, and I might be reading the New 52s or I might be reading the old, original Harleys. The next one they might be somewhere else with totally different people. But again, I think it just shows that the source material - I think the comic books, in general, are like that - you can pick it up, follow one storyline, you can put it down. Obviously playing her both times, there are things I created in the character, I have a foundation, but in this film we're seeing a very different Harley.Īnd it is so wild to see now the comics starting to reflect the version of Harley that I've played on screen before. I've played Harley twice now - two different filmmakers and two different versions of Gotham - and it's so fun and interesting to see what characteristics of the character each filmmaker gravitates towards what version of Gotham they're trying to portray and how you can kind of honor the source material and then put it into this filmmaker's world and version of the characters. Robbie: For Harley, I mean it's been so fascinating. So that was fun to explore - a powerful woman who's completely in denial of her powers. She's at this point in her life where she's just kind of shutdown. And yet, in our film, it's prior to her really owning her superpowers. We picked from quite a bit of them and chose the ones that fit the best within our story in making her this street fighter, this songstress, the daughter of a vigilante who has superpowers. At first it was overwhelming and a little confusing, because her origin story has like changed, and they toss it away, and then they change it again. So then when I was cast, I went back to the comics and read all the Birds of Prey comics, and then started diving into trying to read as many of the Black Canary comics. That's how I was introduced to her before the movie even existed, or before I was in the cast. No, Black Canary was written quite a long time ago, and there were so many versions of Black Canary - she's been retconned a bunch of times - and so, my biggest influence was initially the video game Injustice 2. I mean, there's been lots of different iterations of her, obviously, so every detail isn't seen in this film, but I think the spirit of who she is in the comics is definitely being carried through. I think all of that is very true to the comic book. ![]() The history that she's been through, the pain that she's been through - all that born into creating this persona of Huntress, who's this vigilante who is going to bring these people to justice, and how sort of laser-focused she is on that and how she sort of doesn't really relate well to the outside world because of what she's been through. Winstead: I mean the costume and stuff look maybe a little different, but I think the spirit of who Huntress is, is the same, to me, as what I've read in the comics. Your guys' characters are in some ways different to their comic book versions - can you talk about that? And for you, your character went from being based on the comics to being the version the comics and such are taking inspiration from. Robbie: No, it wasn't painful or difficult at all. They really wanted us to be able to do everything ourselves and Cathy had really ambitious ways of shooting it, like oners on a carousel. But 87eleven stunt team really kicked our butts. worked out like five days a week, changed my diet to become as strong as I could. We trained a few months before we started shooting and then during the shooting. ![]() I trained for around five months in total. She's one of the dopest street fighters in DC. ![]() You've gotta train, especially if you're taking on Black Canary. In this movie, you're kicking ass, doing kicks. ![]() Related: Birds Of Prey: Why Black Mask Wants To Kill Harley Quinn ![]()
