Depending on the writer Harley runs the gamut of sexuality. She's been said to be bisexual for a while and it's even in continuity now, she wasn't always AS sexual as you see here or even in the Arkham games but she's always kinda been about sex appeal. @Henry is also a big fan and maybe he can shed more light than myself.
@drstrong It's always been a thing, but never very 'in your face' until recently. She's always been a flirtatious character, so it's not out of the question that they would use her in that way. Joker has always been #1 in her mind, but she always branches off with other relationships. In the more recent SS stuff, she realizes how bad Joker is after he tries to kill her again and takes off with Deadshot. They've established that she and Poison Ivy have been in a relationship as cannon. There is a Valentines Day issue where she falls in love with Batman and becomes Robin that I actually loved a lot. Odd to admit that since I hate Conner's run. lol.
I guess I hadn't noticed it in the original photos of Deadshot, but he's carved I am the light on his rifle. Was he ever religious in the comics? Or used that ideology in his killing?
Something else that's confirmed from the trailer is The Joker is the one who puts Common's character up to whatever he's doing. His reflection is clearly seen in the mirror behind him when the joker is sitting down talking in the gold lit room.
The bulk of the story is after Batman v Superman. I would guess some of the Joker/Harley stuff is pre-BvS though.
They are playing up this "omg Leto went nuts" angle like the most blatant marketing move of all time.
Yeah at this point I'm not sure I'm willing to see this in theaters and give the movie my money. If sending people used condoms was brushed off as "method acting" I'm not willing to give any financial and/or concrete support
While it's more vile, it's about on par with how obnoxious Daniel Day-Lewis must be like during his shoots.
No more than they did for Heath though as I remember... if you're making a movie with the Joker in it & you don't play up that angle, you're a fool, don't ya think?
