Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn)

Thanks!

So here's a review that knows the exact way to sell this movie to me:

Spoiler

I have waited many a year for a proper sequel to Batman Returns, and I’m happy to tell you that Birds of Prey is IT. It’s the first comics film that really captures the spirit of those first two Tim Burton Batman films—big and brash and cartoony but also gothy and noir. When it wants to be fun it’s the MOST fun, but when it wants to go dark and, especially, highlight the ways women and AFABs (Assigned Female at Birth) are crushed by society, the filmmakers are more than happy to make the audience sit with their discomfort. Birds of Prey gives us five antiheroic women who are worthy heirs to Michelle Pfeiffer’s Selena Kyle.

I adore Batman Returns (still the best Batman movie ever made, and it's not even close), so the comparison is enough to make my mouth water. Here's hoping I see the similarities this reviewer did.
