Meet Gotham's Worst in New TV Spot for Birds of Prey

Before Wonder Woman 1984 hits theaters, we're going to be following up with Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey. Just in, we have a new TV spot for the movie (via @DCEUPosts on Twitter), and it gives us a better tease for Roman Sionis/Black Mask's gang.

While we don't actually get to see a new shot of Ewan Mcgregor as Sionis, we do get a look at his "army" and they're all wearing masks. In the comics, Black Mask had a penchant for making his gang wear all sorts of masks; his origin happens when Sionis accidentally gets his mask permanently stuck to his face. With the character of Sionis being branded as a narcissist in this film; you can bet he's going to be losing his face one way or another.

With Birds of Prey said to have an R-rating, I'm kind of hoping that director Cathy Yan really delves into the sadistic nature of Black Mask. In the comics, he drives a woman crazy by force-feeding her husband's eyeballs; I'm expecting no less from Sionis in this movie. I guess I just really want to have the Birds going up against a scary villain. I don't just want a "mob boss that's a bit of an eccentric."

After splitting with the Joker, Harley Quinn joins superheroes Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya to save a young girl from an evil crime lord, Black Mask in Gotham City.

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) hits theaters on Feb. 7.
