And why shouldn’t it? Although Ayer’s pic didn’t land with critics, it made $746.8 million worldwide and won an Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling, securing Harley Quinn’s future in the DC movie universe and making Robbie synonymous with the character. While continuity within the DC movie universe is nebulous from film to film, Birds of Prey hinges on a familiarity with Suicide Squad.
In its apparent mishmash of comic book attributes that have helped define its lead characters over the decades, Birds of Prey looks to be the welcomed comic-book movie equivalent of getting grit under perfectly manicured fingernails Those announcements should be up next for Birds of Prey, and hopefully those could bring further clarity to the Gotham setting and Batman's disappearance.Stylish and splashy, Birds of Prey looks like an ambitious tonal balancing act that takes its girl gang seriously while highlighting the fun energy of Harley’s character through costume changes, fist fights, roller skates and what appears to be a musical number. Casting for Cain, Black Mask, and even Renee Montoya have not yet happened. The Cassandra Cain version of Batgirl is reportedly to be central to the story, as she may have even been taken by Black Mask, with the Birds of Prey setting out on a rescue mission for the young girl. What we do know about Birds of Prey's plot is that they'll be reportedly battling Black Mask. Does this mean after Justice League Batman has left Gotham in a state of chaos? Possibly, and maybe that's why the Birds of Prey are formed. Since WB and DC may not yet know exactly what future Affleck or Batman has, the simplest solution is to just not have him around. Ben Affleck reportedly wants out and The Batman director Matt Reeves is reportedly making a movie that takes place in Bruce Wayne's younger days. This could be the result of the entire Batman problem that has plagued the DCEU for the last year and a half.
Since an Elseworlds story is not likely in the realm of possibility, then where is Batman? This is highly unlikely since Robbie is part of the DCEU continuity, so it would be even more confusing for casual fans if she played the character in both the DCEU and an Elseworlds story.
The first possibility that some could jump to is that this shows Birds of Prey is actually the latest Elseworlds property by WB and DC, like Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. Update: Daniel R tweeted a little more detail, indicating there is a line in the script that revealed Batman had been absent from Gotham for two years prior to Birds of Prey. The line in question says, "They join Margot Robbie who reprises her Suicide Squad role of Harley Quinn in a Gotham that isn’t protected by Batman." Yes, that would mean that Gotham is the main location for Birds of Prey, but also will make many wonder why Batman is not protecting his city.

But, a new piece of intel offers a setting and a major question. With more details now surfacing, the larger plot of Birds of Prey is still largely mysterious. This had been expected as production looked ready to begin early next year. The casting decision comes right on the heels of WB giving Birds of Prey an early 2020 release date.
