Birds Of Prey Didn’t Have To Fight For Its R-Rating ‘As Much As Anyone Would Think,’ According To The Director

Her relationship with the Clown Prince of Crime provided a certain amount of protection for her, with nobody wanting to mess with the city’s most terrifying, psychopathic villain – but now that shield is gone.
