‘Birds Of Prey’ Set Photos Confirm Harley Quinn Split From The Joker

New set photos from the upcoming Birds of Prey spin-off answers a long-standing question as to whether or not Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn is still in a relationship with Jared Leto’s Joker.

The new set photos feature Margot Robbie reprising her role as the iconic Batman villain and girlfriend of the Joker. While the two lovebirds were featured together in 2016’s Suicide Squad, the new set photos confirm the two have since split when the story picks back up with Harley Quinn in the DCEU spin-off. The tattoos on Margot Robbie reveal Harley Quinn has since “fixed” her tattoos, crossing out the word “Puddin” on her “Harley + Puddin” tattoo on her right leg, as well as adding to the word “Puddin” on her left leg so it now reads “Pudding Cups.”

You can check out the new Birds of Prey set photos featuring Margot Robbie below.

Directed by Cathy Yan from a script penned by Bumblebee writer Christina Hodson, Birds of Prey stars Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain, Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya, Chris Messina as Victor Zsasz, Ewan McGregor as Black Mask, and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Ali Wong, Robert Catrini, and Michael Masini have also been cast in undisclosed roles.

The film will feature the female superhero team as they come together to protect Cassandra Cain after she comes across a diamond which belongs to Gotham crime lord Black Mask. Cassandra Cain is the daughter of David Cain and Lady Shiva, raised to become one of the world’s greatest assassins before meeting Bruce Wayne and taking up the mantle of Batgirl in the comics.

DC Comics’ Birds of Prey are an international crimefighting team featuring heroines such as Oracle (Barbara Gordon), Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance) and the Huntress (Helena Bertinelli). The comic book teams current lineup consists of Black Canary, Huntress, and Lady Blackhawk, along with Hawk and Dove.

The DCEU continues forward with Aquaman which is now playing and will be followed by Shazam! on April 5, 2019, Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), on February 7, 2020, and Wonder Woman 1984 on June 5, 2020.
