New BIRDS OF PREY Set Photos Seemingly Reveal Harley Quinn's New Relationship Status
A huge gallery of new Birds of Prey set photos have been revealed today featuring Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and it seems as if a major change has been made to her Suicide Squad relationship status!
Shooting is well underway on Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and we finally have a full gallery of high quality set photos from the upcoming DC Comics adaptation.
As you can see, Margot Robbie is decked out in the same costume we saw in that teaser earlier this week but some eagle-eyed fans have noticed a major change to one of Harley's tattoos. As you can see in the gallery below, the tattoo reading "Harley + Puddin" has been changed to "Harley & Puddin." This obviously signals the end of their relationship!
It will be interesting seeing how that's addressed in Birds of Prey, especially as Suicide Squad reshoots took out the abusive elements of their relationship and reshot the ending to that the Clown Prince of Crime broke Harley out of prison.
With any luck, we'll also get some shots of the other characters soon because if it wasn't being shot in public, the studio probably wouldn't have felt the need to reveal them all via that teaser.

This is obviously Harley Quinn and it's good to see her trademark mallet here. I may be wrong about this, but have some of the tattoos on the back of her legs been removed since Suicide Squad?
Huntress has her crossbow here and that's obviously going to make a lot of comic book fans happy seeing as it's something she's always used in the source material.
Is this Renee Montoya? If so, here's hoping Birds of Prey avoids taking us down the route of seeing a cop with a drinking problem because that's been done to death in countless movies over the years.
Well, Cassandra Cain certainly seems to have some issues as it really doesn't look like she's particularly popular if those insults were written by "friends." She may have decorated it herself, though.
As good as it is to see Harley wielding that baseball bat, she's rocking a totally different costume here. This could be her new look throughout the movie or just one of many different outfits.
Based on what we see here, it definitely appears as if this version of Black Canary is going to be inspired by the New 52/Rebirth era versions but, as we see later, she does have fishnets...on her arms!
Well, Huntress definitely looks like a badass but her mask is nowhere to be seen and while there's a chance she'll suit up later on in the movie, Birds of Prey seems to be going for a grounded aesthetic.
This doesn't tell us much about Renee Montoya, but the character is expected to play a key role in the movie and it will be interesting to see how she's handled as there's a lot to pick from the comics.
Meet the Black Mask...minus the black mask! He certainly looks like a gangster and seeing as this is just a test video/cast reveal, there's nothing to say he won't don his skeletal visage at some point.
Huntress takes aim. Little is known about how this version of the character will differ from the source material, but she's unlikely to be Catwoman's daughter!
This is Victor Zsasz, a classic Batman villain who covers his body with scars for every kill. We don't see any of those here but he definitely bears something of a resemblance to the comic book version.
Two more fairly unrevealing shots, but the second definitely gives us an idea of how Black Canary will be portrayed. After seeing so much of her on TV, I do wonder how her powers will differ visually.
A lot of fans are definitely going to be disappointed if Black Mask doesn't don his classic headpiece, as it really wouldn't be that hard to include.
Cassandra Cain sounds like she will be the "MacGuffin" of Birds of Prey in the sense that the team will be trying to save her from Black Mask. Why she's so important hasn't been revealed yet, though.
Well, he definitely looks like a psycho, right?
This could prove to be a somewhat divisive take on Harley Quinn, especially among those hoping for a comic accurate costume. This is bound to be just one of many costumes in the movie, though!
