Margot Robbie talked about something interesting from Birds of Prey movie. The first script had Penguin as the main villain. But Matt Reeves was making The Batman movie and wanted to use Penguin there.

So the Birds of Prey team had to change their villain to Black Mask instead. Ewan McGregor played Black Mask in the final movie. Robbie played Harley Quinn and also appeared in The Suicide Squad later.

Now James Gunn is making new DC movies that are different from Matt Reeves' Batman movies. The Batman Part II will come out in October 2027. Warner Bros. will start making it in spring.
