IS LADY GAGA TRULY READY TO PLAY HARLEY QUINN?

IF Margot Robbie could sing,she would have been in this project. That could've created a DC sub universe where Joker & Suicide Squad reign. However, Lady's best work has been the Star Is Born remake & is too consumed with her  burgeoning career.  

The rest of her film work is fine,but Sin City 2 flopped,Machete KIlls:

she was a part of a role

played better by other more prominent actors.

House of Gucci was her

second best performance,but

played like an extended satire of TV’s Dynasty.

The trailer shows her- giving it her all,but lacks the clever,sleazy flair

of the comic books and what Robbie does well

about the persona in droves. Feminist sadist rage at war with bubbly personality,that just wants to be desperately loved.

She doesn't fight (so far)  or wear those trashy elegant costumes that Gaga herself is known for wearing. Except, in Chicago-like dance numbers that play like media parody,which means this playing out in the villains’ minds,as a coping mechanism for being stuck in Arkham Asylum. So far that’s the really cool & sad part of the epic. Since that’s what most real people do, to escape the ho hum data of their lives. 

This will probably work at the box office,but unless Oscar comes a calling and shows up for Gaga, Robbie won't be replaced any time, as the sexy court jester for crime.


Later.
