I don't think many noticed the complete symbolism of Harley cutting off her pigtails in Birds of Prey.

(1)
Not only was it to symbolise being cut off from Joker or cutting off his connection with her and her creation...

(2)
But the original design of a Harlequin puppet is one controller by string.

"A Harlequin's role is to serve" she says.

For a Harlequin puppet to function at all, it must have a master.

(3)
So when she cut off her hair, she cut off the metaphorical strings between her and joker.

And is not free to continue her story as a solo character.

(4)
However... I do hope this comes crashing down in some way.

I hope we see some flaws resurface and we get more interaction between her and Jared Leto's Joker in a future DCEU story.

Whether that be as lovers or enemies...

(5)
And that we get to witness their true dynamic for which @DavidAyerMovies had intended in his vision for Suicide Squad.

Let's hope it's not long now til we see his director's cut too on @hbomax
