Harley Quinn has not been censored.
Well,Watch The Masseuse Fired into The Wifes Hole Online kind of. An edited broadcast cable version of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)was "mistakenly" uploaded to HBO Max, causing outcry among fans on Twitter about changing the film and setting a bizarre precedent. A Warner Bros. spokesperson confirmed with IGN that this was an accident and the original will return.
How can you tell if a show or movie has been edited on HBO Max? It's not exactly hidden — over the holiday, HBO Max users who booted up Birds of Preywere immediately greeted by a disclaimer: "This film has been modified as follows from its original version: it has been edited for content."

That can at least be a comfort as we wait for our R-rated chaos queen to come home. And if you really can't wait, just go watch the excellent Harley Quinnanimated series. It's also on HBO Max and it's definitely notcensored.
