Comic Writer Defends Margot Robbie’s Portrayal Of Harley Quinn In ‘Birds of Prey’

Harley Quinn comic book writer Jimmy Palmiotti defended Margot Robbie’s portrayal of the character in Birds of Prey.

When Warner Bros. and DC’s Suicide Squad debuted in theaters three years ago, Margot Robbie’s performance as Harley Quinn was one of the few elements of the film that was widely acclaimed by nearly everyone. The reverence for Margot Robbie’s take on Harley Quinn continued when she reprised the role in Birds of Prey, although not everyone has been pleased with her take on the iconic DC character.

Now, comic book writer Jimmy Palmiotti, who relaunched the relaunched the Harley Quinn series with Amanda Conner in 2013, has taken to Twitter to defend Margot Robbie’s version of the anti-heroine. In his post, Palmiotti stated that Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn matches what he and Conner have been doing with the character in the comics since 2013 and advised fans who disagree to follow a link to purchase their works on Amazon to see for themselves.

Here is the official synopsis for Margot Robbie’s Birds of Prey:

“You ever hear the one about the cop, the songbird, the psycho and the mafia princess? Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is a twisted tale told by Harley herself, as only Harley can tell it. When Gotham’s most nefariously narcissistic villain, Roman Sionis, and his zealous right-hand, Zsasz, put a target on a young girl named Cass, the city is turned upside down looking for her. Harley, Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya’s paths collide, and the unlikely foursome have no choice but to team up to take Roman down.”
