Birds of Prey Comic Writer Gail Simone Loves the Movie


Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, the movie's new name after Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) underperformed in the box office, is currently loved by a lot of people, despite not being a box office smash. One of the movie's biggest fans just happens to be Gail Simone, a veteran comic book writer who had a lengthy run on Birds of Prey, though she has been accused of being paid to like the movie.

On Twitter, Simone talked about how much she loves the movie and had to point out how she is not being paid to kiss this film's butt. Simone is unapologetic about her love for films, no matter the critical reception, even praising Suicide Squad when it came out and that movie is seen by many as the worst DCEU film.

Simone has the right to say whatever she wants about the movie since she paid to see it with her own money. The writer was not consulted for Birds of Prey, nor was she involved in any other aspect of this movie, though her work did inspire parts of it, hence Simone's name in the credits. Obviously, there are some conspiracy nuts out there who think that Simone is being paid by DC to love this movie but the fact of the matter is, she isn't contracted by the company right now.

Yeah, she writes a couple of stories for them once in a while but has also written a number of comics for Marvel and Dynamite, among other comic book publications.

Birds of Prey is now showing in theaters.
