Logan is good but it's more like "Joker" - not fully attached to the franchise, more of an alternate timeline take.
In this case I can't fully comment as I haven't seen Birds of Prey, but I've seen a lot of comparisons to Suicide Squad and IMO, Suicide Squad is just not a good movie. In terms of narrative and editing, it's an absolute mess. Justice League was the same, and the cinematic cut of BvS (though I still like the directors cut).
I get the same vibes from the trailer for this. I'll still watch it on home release though and give it the benefit of the doubt.
