...I really don’t want a Birds of Prey movie whose primary focus is on a character who never has actually ever been on the team.

They were invented in the mid-90s, but really became established in Gail Simone’s run that ran in the mid-00s. They’re a female hero-centered team that started out somewhat Batman-adjacent, but over time added women from other corners of the DCU. I don’t think that Harley Quinn has ever been a member of the team in…
They've been around a while. There was even a short lived live action show 15 years ago. I remember Dina Meyer in it, but little else.
Well, Birds of Prey has been a thing since the mid 90s. But the really good stuff started 2003 when Gail Simone started writing the team and added Huntress.
They have been around since the late 90s. It started out as a Oracle/Black Canary team-up title before adding almost every single Bat-related woman at one point or another. It was one of the Dixon-verse titles until he left around War Games. Then Gail Simone took it over and wrote it until it’s cancelation…
I’m still undecided but... first sight of that Mandalorian armor really swayed me. Now that Mr. Pascal may be in it? I’m tipping...
Yeah, they’ve officially won me over now too.
Cowboy Bebop is my favorite TV show, full stop. One of the reasons is how they handle structure. The entire show takes place in between the worst of things and the resolution of those things. Further, we get very little of what actually happened. We just learn about the character’s personalities and infer the story…

Be warned, this is the dub. Which is fabulous. But if you’re looking for the sub, this isn’t that.

Meh. I liked it better when they just used real animals and CGI’d the mouths to make it look like they’re talking.
I agree. I think it’s the eyes. They gave so many of the animals human eyes and it just doesn’t look natural. I mean, this looks like somebody threw a picture of themselves and their dog into Facemash.
Yeah — and it’s uncanny valley in a distinctly human direction. These aren’t the faces of animals. These are human faces on animals. Tigers, wolves, bears — they don’t look like this.
Serkis may be the king of mo-cap, but from the trailer it’s not translated well into the creatures. Very uncanny valley. Considering the movie was delayed for 2 years (according to the studio to work on SFX), it seems...unfinished? Maybe just needs tweaking?
Kubo is one of my absolute favorite films, I’m hoping this is just as good. Laika’s track record for me is on par with Pixar: not as many films, but the quality is top notch.
This is not typical Laika fare. In fact it seems very heavily influenced by Aardman or Dreamworks. I hope they manage to pull it off.
As a Kirby main, I fully support this.
Did anyone else cheer Kirby on while he was escaping in that video? You can't keep a good pink ball down!
Welp guess I’m buying a Switch after all
