Harley sees the Joker as a good partner and weirdly, the movie itself does as well.
There are hints of Harley”s ongoing tragic entanglement with her abusive boyfriend, but Suicide Squad never delves into it. WARNING: SUICIDE SQUAD SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT. I thoroughly believe that in more capable hands, a Harley Quinn solo film could be fantastic and poignant. It”s not her fault the script was written in six weeks and therefore both incoherent and gave Harley absolutely nothing in the way of a character arc. The actress was committed to showing Harley as a complex, damaged human being. Margot Robbie”s performance was one the film”s highlights for me. Yes, Will Smith”s Deadshot is the main character of Suicide Squad, but you”d never know it from the Harley Quinn-centric trailers.
Almost as if ladies have been waiting for a female superhero/antihero character to be given top billing. It”s Monday morning and the numbers are in: Suicide Squad dominated its opening weekend.
