Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn

The story of Harley Quinn post Suicide Squad, post Joker. We start quickly with the "joker is not in this film" and move on to Quinn (Margot Robbie) setting herself up to be an independent operator. She gets some enemies, she stumbles on some friends. In hindsight, the movie was necessary for the DC Universe and the explaining included. However, the story was predictable and really unnecessary for Quinn herself. This entire film could have been a 5 minute intro to a story that actually needed to be told. And as I just wrote that, I wonder -- what comic story exists that *needs* to be told???
