What characters turned in the best performances in Birds of Prey? Light Spoilers ahead.

After Wonder Woman and Aquaman proved that DC Comics has stepped away from being depressingly dark, it was time for Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) to keep that momentum going. Not only did it keep said momentum, but it may also be the most fun you’ll have at a movie this year.

From the opening animatic to the post credit scene (yes, there is one), the movie keeps you enthralled. The action was entertaining and the story flowed in a different, but smooth, way. And then you have the characters.

All of the actors bought into their roles and played them well.

We know Margot Robbie is an exceptional actor, as we’ve seen her blow crowds away in multiple movies like I, Tonya and The Wolf of Wall Street. However, people do have off days and bad performances. It happens to everyone (maybe except Leonardo DiCaprio). All we can hope is that she continues to deliver like we know she can. The same can be said for Rosie Perez. She’s been dazzling audiences since she appeared as Tina in the 1989 classic Do the Right Thing. And these are just two of the main characters in Birds of Prey. But which of these characters were the best of the best?
