After the disaster of 2016’s Suicide Squad, Margot Robbie was ready to make Harley Quinn a staple of positive DC Cinema. She took it upon herself to start her own production company, and subsequently produce Birds of Prey. Or as one host of this podcast likes to call it, Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn.
But between more behind the scenes controversy -what else is new- and being released right before a massive pandemic, Birds of Prey had a lot to stand up against. Does it succeed?
Join Garrett, Matt and Adam as they continue their look at the DC Cinematic Universe, inching their way closer to their long awaited review of this year’s The Batman.

So here’s what I’ve gathered from internet rumors and confirmation. It all begins with a deleted tweet, Gail Simone revealed that Cass was originally in Christine’s script and meant to be more like the character in the comics.
Now take this with a full grain of salt. When the script was first leaked on the web it revealed two things #1 why Huntress was in the film. To prevent Roman from creating someone even worse than her. That Cass was given to Roman to be his new hand to unleash upon Gotham. But, just like in the comics she falters after the first kill he sends her out on.
That’s why Helena, Dinah, and Harley are all after her for various reasons originally.
Now Gail revealed that it wasn’t the director, Margo, or the writer but someone ELSE who axed all that and changed Cass’s entire personality in the movie to as you see here.
My guess is either Johns himself or Walter Hamada. Maybe it was Hamada thinking it be too much to have an Asian character not speak as much (ala Katana in Suicide Squad). Maybe it was Dan DiDio (who had a HUGE bias against the character) used his whatever clout he had and said basically, “Having Cass around like her comic side would fuck with your plans for Babs because they’d want to see her than her.” ala like he did to Cass in the New 52 (casting her aside so they could fully promote Babs for five years until finally bringing the character back, but with major revisions).
The list of suspects are numerous. So who really knows other than the studio themselves fucked with the character of Cass on this.
Thanks for the context!
