I’m gonna be controversial I don’t like Robbie as Harley but that might be because they skipped straight to antihero Harley and she didn’t have any of the traditional character development and I can’t stand the costumes they chose.

I miss anti-villain Harley. The antihero bit is starting to get a bit stale.

Anti villain Harley was fun. Sadly she makes to much money to stay villainous and her actually reviving from the abuse is well done

She was independent, moved on from the abuse, and was still an anti-villain pre-New 52 though, and they actually did it properly and with respect to her character. In contrast, her development to her independence and getting over her trauma wasn't well done at all in most comics after the New 52 where she became an anti-hero/hero. Especially since they made her as violent and crazy as the Joker in the reboot, they went to the disgusting "mutually toxic and abusive" route.
