Rubie's Official DC Comics Suicide Squad Harley Quinn, Ladies Fancy Dress Halloween Villain Costume

Product Information

I know it’s jarring to a lot of the people who love the classic Bruce Timm suit. I love it myself. But in that world [of the Suicide Squad movie], I just don’t see it happening. It’s a rougher, more street look. I think it works fine. Unlike other comic book movies that have steered away from the source material for its costumes, Makovsky referenced the original DC Comics extensively for certain characters per Gunn’s request, like for Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker and others. Among our Harley Quinn costumes, you will find the Suicide Squad Harley Quinn costume, with a red and blue sports T-shirt, a baseball bat and a blonde wig with colorful pigtails. Or, consider the Harley Arkham City costume, featuring dark colors and figure-hugging faux leather.

For the creation of her character, Paul Dini and Bruce Timm were inspired by a funny reference: the actress Arleen Sorkin from the soap opera Days of Our Lives. Arleen Sorkin, also playing an antagonist, wears a harlequin outfit in a scene dreamed up by her character. In a court jester's outfit covered in sequins, Arleen Sorkin has that touch of madness and mischief that will feed the imagination of Dini and Timm. From that moment on, the two authors created a character that was supposed to look and sound exactly like the actress. They even managed to get her to be the voice of their antihero in some productions up until 2011. Her love lifeFew fictional characters have gone through a style revolution quite as dramatic as Harley Quinn's. First introduced during a 1992 episode of Batman: The Animated Series, the Joker's girlfriend soon began to appear in comic books and video games, and as her character evolved, so did her trademark look. By the time Harley Quinn made her live-action cinematic debut in 2016's Suicide Squad, she was one of the most popular anti-heroes in the DC Extended Universe... and Harley Quinn Halloween costumes have been everywhere ever since. And if you're looking to wear a DIY Harley Quinn costume this year, then we have plenty of ideas to get you started. Of course, it’s also clear that the same aesthetic was intended for both costumes. There’s a very particular style about David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, something darkly glamorous that made its way into most of the character designs. While a lot of this style was dropped for James Gunn’s follow-up The Suicide Squad, David Ayer’s impact on the DCEU is still felt to this day. Especially with the inclusion of Harley Quinn, who has been masterfully played by Margot Robbie in all of her live-action appearances throughout the DCEU. One thing that James always said to me was, ‘I don’t need [all the villains] to look like they came out of the same film,’” Makovsky said. “They should all look like they came out of their own movies and just ended up together. That sort of freed it up because normally we have all the techniques the same [for the costumes]. For this one, we didn’t really have to do that and each character could be unique.” What you learn from watching the film is that she is never the victim of the Joker, in the way that she owns herself. I think Margot is amazing in the way she retains that. She really owns her sexuality and power, and it’s something that girls respond to. It’s not for somebody else, it’s for herself.

Harley Quinn met the infamous Joker while working as a psychiatrist at Arkham. She and Catwoman have since become two of the most desired and admired DC Comics villains. Harley Quinn’s sexy and provocative outfits help her seduce the Joker’s victims, turning her into the perfect accomplice for going after Batman.Not a year goes by that we don’t see at least one Harley Quinn Halloween costume. And there’s a good reason. Since her DC Comics in 1993’s The Batman Adventures, Harley Quinn, whose full name is Harleen Frances Quinzel, has been an iconic supervillain. In Birds of Prey, costume designer Erin Benach - who had previously designed costumes for Drive - reacted to the criticism of Suicide Squad and attempted to course-correct Harley Quinn's costumes. Trading the dark and jaded aesthetic of Suicide Squad for a much brighter one, the Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey wears more fun, colorful and practical clothes, while deviating even further from her origins in the comics. With costumes that reference the electric whimsy of Jeremy Scott, creative director of the luxury brand Moschino, Benach's version of Harley Quinn prefers playful and utilitarian clothing, but not her circus-inspired roots. We went through many, many shoes. We all have a shoe obsession, and Margot really loved these. But the physicality of Harley is something else, so it’s sort of a nightmare from that point of view. Margot had to do a somersault in these. Hi Puddin' — we've got a few questions for ya. Do you love certified nutsos? Yep. Can't get enough of a badass antiheroine with a real taste for vengeance? Absolutely. Do you find a healthy dose of demented, complex by-play both alarming, charming, and too good to be totally bad? Makovsky believes that the villains’ costumes played a central role in their identities and served as a way for the actors and actresses to fully connect with their characters.

In the dark world of Batman, heroes and villains are ultimately just human beings with superior mental and physical abilities. Not the kind of heroes like Wonder Woman or those with the superhuman powers of Captain Marvel! Harley Quinn's strength is her brain. Despite the madness she plunged into when the Joker pushed her into a vat of acid, the antihero uses her knowledge of psychiatry to get into the brains of her victims, manipulating and torturing them for her pleasure. As the queen of chaos, she is also extremely violent in the comics. With her legendary mallet, Harley Quinn is extremely skilled with weapons of all kinds. Athletic and seductive, she is a formidable villain when she puts her mind to it. She also has an unbeatable immune system and incredible agility thanks to a toxic antidote by Poison Ivy she had injected. Her relationship with the joker
