During one of Birds of Prey’s fight sequences, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) identifies a teammate’s vulnerability and provides a critical assist — by lending her a hair tie. This small act of sisterhood is as familiar in an everyday context as it is surprising in the DC Extended Universe. It’s one of the many ways that Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) differs from its superhero movie forebears: It not only stars women, it was made by them, too. “There’s more women in front [of] and behind the camera than any movie I’d worked on, which is pretty incredible,” says Robbie, who also produced the film. “It was partly a conscious decision, but it also always felt like the organic, right choice to make.”

Ok this right here just made me WANT to see this movie, because I have never, never ever been able to appreciate the ~aesthetic~ of freeflowing long hair in a fight scene (or my personal pet peeve, riding/driving in a car with the windows down) because I HAVE long hair, and THAT SHIT IS ANNOYING. It gets in your face and mouth and you can’t see, and it actually stings like a motherfucker when it gets you right in the eye. Plus it will HURT LIKE HELL trying to brush the tangles out of it later on.

Woman quickly putting her hair in a ponytail while kicking ass? THAT is an aesthetic right there.
