According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Sirens" was a recent series from DC that focuses on the popular villains from Batman's rogue gallery. Among them was the sexy, psychotic super villain Harley Quinn. Also, the series features Catwoman, Batman's love interest and as well as Poison Ivy who uses plants and their toxins to get what she wants.

Although, Robbie expressly indicated that she would love her character Quinn and The Joker to reunite in the movie.

"I'm trying to make that happen. Not for anything specifically, but just something - there's so much more to do," Robbie says.

There were no statements hinting that either Jared Leto, who plays as The Joker, or Ben Affleck, who portrays the hero of Gotham Batman, will be featured on the film.

There has been no news yet regarding the release date of the "Gotham City Sirens."

According to Mirror, Warner Bros is also working on a "Suicide Squad" sequel, and is also planning on working of a spin-off for DC's "Deadshot," who was previously played by Will Smith.

Suicide Squad was grossed to have over 745.6 million globally, surpassing the international box office of "Deadpool." It is the 13th highest-grossing superhero release.
