Marvel may have popularized the post-credits scene trend over the past decade, but that hasn't stopped DC's movies from getting in on the action in recent years. While Suicide Squad, Justice League, Aquaman, and Shazam have all featured after-credits stingers, other DC movies like Wonder Woman and the standalone Joker did not. But what about Birds of Prey?
Does Birds of Prey Have a Post-Credits Scene?
No, Birds of Prey does not technically have a mid-credits or post-credits scene, although there is an amusing tease from Harley Quinn herself if you stick around after the credits have rolled.As the credits end, Harley's voiceover returns, pulling a Ferris Bueller and making fun of anyone who stuck around for so long. Still, she offers a reward to those patient enough to wait, offering to reveal a juicy secret about Batman. She begins, "Did you know that Batman f-" before the audio cuts out, leaving us hanging. So cruel! (Any guesses what she was going to say?)
Is Batman in Birds of Prey?
As for the Dark Knight himself, Batman doesn't cameo in Birds of Prey - which makes sense, considering how muddled DC's Batman continuity is right now. Matt Reeves' upcoming film The Batman is rumored to be set in the '90s (although that has yet to be officially confirmed) and will star Robert Pattinson as a younger Bruce Wayne, seemingly closer to the beginning of his career as Batman. Meanwhile, Birds of Prey is technically set in the same continuity as Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman, and Justice League, with Suicide Squad featuring a cameo from Affleck to explain how Harley got captured and enlisted into Task Force X in the first place.While Batman's absence is never explained in the movie (you'd think he'd take notice of Harley blowing up Ace Chemicals and Black Mask going on a murder spree around Gotham), Harley does namedrop him at one point before the post-credits scene: She tells Cassandra Cain that she named her pet hyena Bruce, "after that hunky Wayne guy." It's a fittingly tongue-in-cheek nod to the character without getting tangled up in the details.
Is the Joker in Birds of Prey?
No, Jared Leto's Joker doesn't appear in Birds of Prey, although the villain's involvement is a little more complicated. Birds of Prey reuses some footage of Leto and Margot Robbie from Suicide Squad for flashback purposes, and otherwise utilizes a body double, shot from behind or in silhouette as Harley recalls their breakup and other moments from their past, but we never see his face. Whenever we do see Joker head-on, it's in animated form or drawings, none of which resemble the tattooed, metal-mouthed version of Leto. We're guessing, considering the movie is all about Harley's "emancipation" from her ex, director Cathy Yan and writer Christina Hodson probably didn't want to commit too much screen time to the Joker, which would've made it hard to justify calling Leto back in for a glorified background role.But, as we point out in our Birds of Prey review, the Joker's "presence isn’t missed," since Birds of Prey gives us plenty of deranged lunacy with Ewan McGregor's sadistic Black Mask and Chris Messina's Victor Zsasz as the movie's villains.
