'Harley Quinn' Co-Creator Paul Dini Weighs In On The Character's Look In SUICIDE SQUAD

@EricBorder - Yeah sorry bout that man, just beat you there. It's a shame deleting well written pieces, as you clearly put the effort in.

@Minty

Thanks man, I appreciate it. The Terrance Howard gif doesn't give me much hope though :p

<<<<<<<<

The creator of Harley Quinn likes how she looks in SS. I guess we can let this argument finally die right?

....Who am I kidding.

Robbie may be the only thing good about this movie I think.

She looks great, and I think Robbie is a great choice for Harley (since Brittany Murphy died). Her and Joker are really the only characters I'm familiar with in Suicide Squad, and they both look well done.

@EricBorder - Haha, so true!

Her look is inspired by this.


Harleen Quinzel could be a Blondie fan in the movie and this might be only prototype version of her costume.

"DC is to childish and silly for me"

Wait wut? Is this a parallel universe?

@Minty

LMAO

MINTY STOLE TEH ARTICLE!!!!¡¡111!

You done changed Mint. You done changed.

j/k ;)

Next you'll start doing shameless flame bait articles based on actual divisive quotes from actors playfully dissing a rival company in jest!

SS or Dr. Strange for best cast in a CBM next year.

What's he going to say? "It's shit and I want my creation back?" Didn't Chris Claremont praise X3? The point is, that the smart creators know that they don't win by going nuclear against the movie interpretations of their stuff.

And for the record, I like Dini and a lot of creators, but I don't take their word as law even about their own creations. George Lucas didn't really understand what made Star Wars great. The Wachowskis didn't really understand what made the Matrix great. Often times the best comic storylines for characters don't come from their creators, but from second or third generation writers.

So, in summation:




@sameoldthing

Yeah, I've been resigned to that opinion for a while now. I had really high hopes for this movie before we started to get images and trailers. It could still turn out to be a good or even great movie, but everything about the aesthetic just rubs me the wrong way. I've actually shifted my eggs back into the Dawn of Justice basket, hoping that a new writer will fix what I didn't like about Man of Steel...

Nice, can't wait for this. The trailer sold me, Suicide Squad is gonna Rock

I can not get into DC films lately. They are too grimdark and take themselves entirely too seriously for my liking. They are well made and crafted with intelligence, but the characters they represent so far are not the characters I enjoyed from DC, they are caricatures of their comic book selves. Cardboard cutouts pushed through a factory of politically correct molds that exchange classic or timeless concepts with whatever trendy fashion or philosophy they can manufacture.

Robbie looks that way because it's easy to over sexualize her image, tie her to a youth oriented musical development and then pretend she's so crazy that it's okay she wants to walk around and fight impractically in her underwear. It's a stupid idea, but it's not made for me, it's made for kids.
