Birds of Prey and the Fan… yeah, I’m not writing that part. Birds of Prey, a follow-up to David Ayer’s Suicide Squad movie starring Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn was released in February 2020. Yep, just before the pandemic knocked on our door. The movie grossed $201 million worldwide, falling short on its $250-300 million breakpoint. This movie was one of the first victims of the pandemic’s influence on cinemas.

Now, the movie can be seen on HBOMax, or can it? Just kidding, yes, it can. However, HBOMax previously uploaded the censored version of the movie, which left many fans confused. But now, it was revealed that that wasn’t intentional – HBOMax uploaded a censored version by mistake. The mistake was quickly corrected, and HBOMax brought back the original, R-rated cut of the movie. We can now only guess why the movie was censored in the first place.

Birds of Prey is the second R-rated movie released by DC Films, after Todd Philips’ Joker. The movie received mostly positive reviews, who praised Margot Robbie’s performance as Harley Quinn and Ewan McGregor’s performance as Black Mask. On the other hand, some fans loved it, some didn’t, although mostly everyone agrees that Margot Robbie is the perfect Harley Quinn. Harley’s story continued in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, which was released last August. Fans are now expecting news when we’ll see Margot as Harley again. Let’s hope DC has some more plans for her. As for Birds of Prey, the spin-off movie starring Jurnee Smollett as Dinah Lance aka Black Canary is in development. We’re hoping the spin-off will give her a comic-accurate Black Canary suit.

Birds of Prey, the original cut, is now available on HBOMax.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
