Birds of prey 2 movie8/8/2023 ![]() ![]() The action is definitely entertaining and fun, and leads to some great moments between Joker and Cassandra Cain. The raids result in the Birds and Montoya chasing Joker to an abandoned hanger where an eventual battle ensues. Instead, Harley gifts Montoya with the location of Joker’s hideouts – her peace-offering after blowing up the bathroom – and that does lead to a number of funny sequences of Joker’s hideouts being raided by the GCPD. While I’m certain some people will find it offensive, I just didn’t find it that funny.ĭespite the Joker’s appearance in the book, he never actually interacts with Harley. I, personally, didn’t care for the humor here. If you felt as though the opening scene between Harley and Montoya at the diner ran too long, then you’ll definitely feel that this scene is also long. This is honestly the part of the book that drags the most for me. He has recruited Sin – who you might remember from the creative team’s monthly Harley Quinn run. As I said earlier, you should know whether this style of humor is your thing or not before you buy the book, so if this isn’t your thing, then Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey probably isn’t the book for you.Īs the plot progresses, Palmiotti and Conner’s foreshadowing pays off, and the Joker does appear. The only difference here is that this iteration is a little more explosive!Īs you can tell, you’re not in for any high-brow humor here, so you should prepare yourself for plenty of poop, boob, and beaver jokes, as well as an ample amount of sexual innuendos. Much like the movie, Harley makes her escape by going to the bathroom. ![]() Before Harley hops back on her train though, she needs to poop… And I think we all know where this is going. But the two finally land on Harley leaving so that she doesn’t mess anything up. You get plenty of Harley’s randomness – including a page of what Harley wants in the world… Which just so happens to include “Nightwing’s ass,” so I got a good laugh out of that. The back and forth between Harley and Montoya does run a little long, but it is mostly enjoyable. Plus, you know, if Harley’s in Gotham, then Joker will undoubtedly involve himself at some point. Unfortunately, Montoya has plans against them that will be ruined if Harley interferes, so she wants her to head back to Coney Island. Now that Harley is back in Gotham and has crossed paths with Montoya and the Birds, all she wants to do is exact revenge on the Defo Mortgage Company. But, I know for some of you, these aspects are a turn-off, so keep that in mind when deciding how to spend your money.Īnyway, I was going to devote an entire paragraph or two to recapping the first issue, but Jimmy and Amanda did that for us! So… I’ll let their work speak for itself. If you can factor these changes into the general concept and feel that it won’t bother you, then you should be good. They go a little further with their innuendos, and there’s plenty of teases of almost-nudity. Tonally, the book is exactly the same, the only difference is that the creative team doesn’t have to hold back with their vulgarity. So, it’s fair to say that if you enjoyed their run on Harley, then you’ll enjoy this. Hell, that’s a big reason why Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti’s run on Harley Quinn was so popular! They just had fun with this. With so many standard comics or dark, gritty comics out there, books like this can be a breath of fresh air. Let’s be honest, we all know that this book is meant to be a funny, comedic take on Harley and the BoP. But unlike the film, this book doesn’t try to hide that reality, and instead fully embraces it! Is this the right book for you though? That’s the real question… ![]() Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey #2 dropped, and just like the film, it’s a whole lot of Harley Quinn and very little Birds of Prey. ![]()
