Iron Man didn't take over the Spider-Man films, though. He was used sparingly. It's kind of like how they used Batman in Suicide Squad. This movie, from that trailer, is reading as "The Harley Quinn Movie", which is ok, 'cause she's awesome and interesting and can pull it off.
But they are calling it Birds of Prey, which is a bit misleading. I don't think that Batgirl/Huntress/BC would be as much of a flop as you think, due to the Batgirl name recognition. But there are some others. They could even have gone with Katana/Huntress/BC, to 'introduce' Huntress and BC.
It's just an odd choice. I get the idea of using HQ to prop up the movie, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they are doing, but they seem to be overusing the character in that role.
