   did you watch Oppenheimer, the film about the moral implications of the things we create, starring an actor who also played a Gotham City psychiatrist who went insane

     @clacke so this is the BoP movie version, aka the Margot Robbie version!

     @clacke didn't Harley say she had a PhD in Birds of Prey? PhD would be psychologist, MD would be Psychiatrist

     @silverwizard I'll go check the 17 versions of Harley Quinn on DC Fandom and see if any one of them is a psychiatrist. 😃

     actually I double-checked and at least Nolan's Scarecrow was a psychologist, not a psychiatrist

     DC has been terribly inconsistent about whether she is an MD or not, not just between versions, but often within one and the same story universe too:

     (DC Fandom was vague about it and didn't provide sources)

     @pjohanneson @clacke Meh, the unwatchable trailer (granted trailers can be a poor representation of a film, but it is their job after all to make one *want* to watch the film) and the immense popularity (I don't always have a good track record with immensely popular films, e.g. Get Out, Parasite, Top Gun Maverick) are a couple of large red flags. Nonetheless I'm sure curiosity will win out and I'll give it a watch if it drops on one of my services!

     @dave31175 @clacke Barbie is an existential crisis with a pastel colour palette, in case that helps.

     @clacke Interesting connection. That said I watched neither. I would be interested in seeing Oppenheimer while it's still in theaters but can wait for crowds to die down. I saw the trailer for Barbie and can't imagine sitting through any more of it than the trailer, but will probably watch it just out of curiosity if it streams on one of my services.
