Internet bros, how did Birds of Prey hurt you?

The new Warner Bros. movie features Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) sans the Suicide Squad male gaze forming a wacky girl gang and taking on the patriarchy in the form of villain Black Mask (Ewan McGregor). Its fun, its wild and its getting solid reviews from fans and critics, and that makes trolls very unhappy.

One particular criticism that got a lot of attention was a viral tweet saying the movie would flop because Birds of Prey had removed any sex appeal from the characters. Well, that doesnt sit right with producer Sue Kroll.

I read that and I thought, Oh my God. Thats so asinine, Kroll told HuffPost. It just goes to show you its obviously a very subjective thing but I think the world is used to, when you look at the comics, you see these women in there, its always very tight clothing, short shorts, boobs pushed up. Its always very graphic in that way. And we were having none of that. But I think they all look beautiful and sexy, and if you look at [Black Canary Jurnee Smollett-Bell] and her costumes, shes wearing a bustier but of a different kind. Thats not sexy? Shes not sexy in the club? You bet she is. Shes gorgeous. Thats nuts.

The producer explained that the old stereotype of scantily clad comic book women is exactly what the movie wanted to avoid.

These women are unapologetically badass, audacious, crazy and every one of them is sexy in their own way. I think that just goes to show you what kind of bias there is, Kroll said. Its just a silly comment. But I think our women are beautiful. And it looks like you can actually kick somebodys ass in those pants.

She continued: The other thing about it is it feels real. Its like, Oh yeah, shes wearing a leather jumpsuit, she can break this guys face. It feels very deliberate, purposeful, tactical, but beautiful.

From breaking faces to breaking down details, Kroll gave us the inside scoop on everything from the importance of a subtle hair tie moment to questions about Harleys sexuality and the reason her hyena got the name Bruce.
