5) Harley Plays Psychiatrist
Before the film came out, there was a lot of talk about the intense, uneasy atmosphere that director David Ayer encouraged on set. For instance, he told Margot Robbie to act like her character and needle her co-stars. It turns out this made it into the movie too, as this new scene reveals.
When making their way across Midway City, Harley starts siding up to her teammates and annoying them with a spot of psychoanalysis. She deduces that Killer Croc’s cannibalism is because of mommy issues and Katana’s withdrawn nature is due to her being an only child with “deep-seated daddy issues.” This last one causes Katana to whip off her mask to look Harley in the eyes, which is the only time Karen Fukuhara gets to show her face in the whole movie.
It’s an interesting scene and a shame that it was cut from the theatrical release. This is perhaps the only time in the whole film where Harley’s previous profession is demonstrated; before she fell for the Joker, she was a qualified psychiatrist.
