In more ways than ever, Margot Robbie-led all-female, anti-hero flick 'Birds of Prey' is set to revolutionalize the superhero movie genre. At first, it had emerged that the comic book-based movie will have an Asian woman, Cathy Yan, taking the director's chair - a first in the history of DC movies. And now latest reports suggest that 'Birds of Prey' could very well introduce the franchise's first openly LGBTQ character - Renne Montoya. 

Debuting in the Detective Comics #41, Renne's history is delightfully complicated. She was initially portrayed as a trained detective, working with the Gotham City Police Department. However, as the story unfolds, the character is outed as a lesbian, which leads to her resigning from the force after witnessing extreme corruption.
