For some reason, though, Heath Ledger’s Joker was/looked awesome and didn’t creep me out.

Aw! And Heath's Joker didn't necessarily look like a clown as much as have face paint on, so it makes sense.

That is a coincidence! (Is Margot rare in Australia? I have no idea.

Harley Quinn Movie: Margot Robbie Teases an R-Rated Spinoff | Collider

Quote:

“I pitched the idea of an R-rated girl gang film including Harley, because I was like, ‘Harley needs friends.’ Harley loves interacting with people, so don’t ever make her do a standalone film. She’s got to be with other people, it should be a girl gang. I wasn’t seeing enough girl gangs on screen, especially in the action space. So that was always a big part of it.

Quote:

“And then of course having a female director to tell that story. And giving a female director the chance to do big budget stuff. They always get ‘Here’s the tiny little film’… I was like, ‘I love action. I love action films. I’m a girl. What, are we meant to only like a specific thing’?” So it was a hugely important to find a female director for this, if possible. But at the end of the day — male, female — the best director gets the job and Cathy was the best director.

Quote:

“I want to make a girl gang, R-rated film that Harley is a part of,” Robbie explained, “And we started working on it from there. Meanwhile, over the course of the next few years, the studio was exploring other Harley Quinn spin-offs. But I was not a part of those versions, I was always focused on this one with Christina… I know that they were exploring ‘Gotham City Sirens’ with David Ayer, and I know they were exploring a Joker and Harley Quinn movie, and they were exploring doing I don’t know what else. I wasn’t a part of those. I was focusing on this. I kept presenting it to the studio until they felt it was at a point where they were ready to do it. And now we’re all in.”

This is interesting to know. I thought Gotham City Sirens was also the movie she was doing, though I still hope we get a couple of those anti-heroes in Margot's film since she wants Harley to interact with others. I'm also glad it was reconfirmed that it's greenlit and has a director.
