Harley Quinn: Birds Of Prey - The 10 Best Ships To Come Out Of The Movie

With any large franchise, there are always going to be a number of fans. Fans can engage with things they love in many ways, and one popular way that people interact with their fandom is through shipping.

Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey (originally titled Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) has appealed especially to many female and LGBT+ fans, and there are a lot of popular ships to come out of the show that reflects that. While it’s only one movie (so far), there is also a lot of material and inspiration for the comic books that these characters are based on. With that being said, here are the ten best ships and pairings that Harley's latest movie has inspired among her dedicated fans.

10 Harley Quinn & The Joker

One of the biggest ships of the show that is always in the background is between Harley and The Joker. While this movie is all about Harley moving on after their breakup and coming into her own, it’s still a present relationship because of its absence.

While a lot of people don’t like this ship because it is a toxic one comprised of two psychotic villains, there’s no denying that it’s been a popular ship for a long time. However, Birds of Prey offered many alternatives for people who don’t like these two together.

9 Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy

This is another ship that isn’t actually in the movie at all, but it is one that fans of the characters enjoy. While Poison Ivy isn’t in the movie, Birds of Prey definitely opened up the world of Harley Quinn and female anti-heroes in a way that means she could appear in the future.

Birds of Prey also confirmed in a low-key way at the beginning that Harley is, in fact, bisexual. So, anyone who is aware of the Poison Ivy relationship probably was thinking about it when that was revealed! Fans hungry for some Harley and Ivy flirting will be glad to know that they're (sort of) a thing in DC Universe's adult cartoon, Harley Quinn

8 Roman Sionis & The Joker

Black Mask is an extremely sadistic villain and chaotically evil in a way that mirrors The Joker. While it’s clear in the movie through the dialogue that these two are actually enemies, there’s no denying it would be a fascinating but extremely troubling dynamic.

Given how messed up The Joker is, it would make more sense for him to have a relationship with someone just as chaotic as he is and just as evil as opposed to someone like Harley Quinn.

7 Harley Quinn & the Breakfast Sandwich

While this entry is definitely more of a funny one, there is something to be said about not shipping Harley Quinn with anyone at all. There is nothing that she wants more in Birds of Prey than to eat her breakfast sandwich.

Given how toxic her relationship with The Joker was, the idea of her being alone and single for a while is rather important. Instead of finding another boyfriend or girlfriend right away, getting some time to herself to continue on her path and enjoy eating as many breakfast sandwiches as possible would be good for her.

6 Harley Quinn & Dinah Lance

Harley Quinn and Dinah Lance have some pretty intense conversations and scenes together in Birds of Prey. They can both relate to each other as they are both being used and mistreated by powerful, sadistic men.

When Dinah defends Harley against men who are out to get her, she goes against her best interest to do so. There does seem to be a bond between these two women, and while Dinah is definitely more of a heroic character their dynamic is compelling.

5 Roman Sionis & Victor Zsasz

One of the most obvious but also most problematic ships to develop from Birds of Prey is Roman and his right-hand man, Victor. They are both extremely gross, violent people, and their hatred of women is palpable.

Many people pointed out that these two both seem queer-coded, and it doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to think that they could have some sort of romantic or sexual relationship. While it would never be a positive relationship by any means, the chemistry was definitely there.

4 Dinah Lance & Huntress

Black Canary and Huntress are another popular queer ship that fans have been talking about after the movie came out. Both of these women have traumatic pasts and are rather badass.

They seem like they would be a good balance to one another as Huntress is more awkward and withdrawn while Dinah is more confident but also serious. They would make a really beautiful couple, and it would be great to see their relationship develop more over time even as friends.

3 Renee Montoya & Ellen Yee

Renee and her ex-girlfriend Ellen are one of the only actual relationships shown in the movie. While these two might not be the best match, they have to be on the list because they were an actual couple at one point.

Many fans were happy with the casual way Renee’s queerness was included in the movie. While Ellen might have not supported Renee and betrayed her in a way in the end, seeing a casual queer relationship was a good thing.

2 Harley, Black Canary, & Huntress

Many people have shipped Harley Quinn with both Black Canary and Huntress, but instead of having a love triangle or trying to choose one over the other, some fans are shipping a polyamorous relationship between the three of them.

This would make a lot of sense as Harley is more chaotic and Black Canary and Huntress have more loyalty. While this type of relationship is unlikely to happen on the big screen, seeing fans explore these dynamics is interesting and fun.

1 All Of The Birds Of Prey

While romantic relationships are often popular in fandoms, platonic friend groups are also something that is explored. Many fans love thinking about Harley, Renee, Dinah, and Helena looking out for each other as a group of close friends and helping to take care of Cassandra Cain.

Whether the adult women were dating or not, people love these friendships.
