Margot Robbie's 'Birds of Prey' all set to introduce DCEU's first LGBTQ hero?

The news that Renne will be a part of the girl gang in the upcoming DCEU movie led by Robbie's Harley Quinn was confirmed on Monday with details about the entire roster pouring in.

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.
