Warning: Birds of Prey spoilers ahead. Joker may be an Oscars 2020 Best Picture nominee, but his girlfriend, Harley Quinn, is about to be a box office queen. If these Birds of Prey spoilers are any indication, it’s that The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn will end the DC cinematic universe’s box office drought. Birds of Prey, which stars Margot Robbie as Gotham City villain Harley Quinn, is a follow-up to 2016’s so-so reviewed Suicide Squad.
The film follows Harley as she joins forces with DC superheroes Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) as they save Cassandra Cain (the future Batgirl) from Gotham crime lord Black Mask. Compared to Suicide Squad, which has a cringe-worthy 26 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, Birds of Prey looks promising with a current 89 percent. The DC cinematic universe with Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman in 2017, but could Birds of Prey be the next female-led film that saves the franchise? We don’t know for sure, but what we do know is that these spoilers reveal a wild storyline from start to finish. As much as we love Joaquin Phoenix’s joker, it’s time for Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn to rise up and take her rightful spot as the DC cinematic universe’s queen. Read up on these spoilers ahead.

Post-credits scenes have been a staple in superhero movies, and according to this Redditor, Birds of Prey is no different.

What this means, we don’t know, but it could set up a possible crossover between Robbie’s Harley and Robert Pattinson’s Batman. (Maybe?)
