RIVERDALE Stars Camila Mendes, Madelaine Petsch, & Lili Reinhart Become DC's GOTHAM CITY SIRENS For Halloween

Riverdale stars Camila Mendes, Madelaine Petsch, and Lili Reinhart often team up to steal the show at Halloween, and 2023 is no exception as they've suited up as Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn...

Suicide Squad may have failed to strike a chord with moviegoers and critics, but it was a box office success. As a result, Warner Bros. made plans to develop a spin-off, Gotham City Sirens.

David Ayer was originally tapped to helm the movie, with the plan being to put the spotlight on Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn alongside Poison Ivy and Catwoman.

Somewhere along the line, the project fell apart, and common sense says that stemmed from both the negative response to Suicide Squad and the fact Warner Bros. eviscerated Ayer’s vision for Task Force X in post-production (hence why he’s hoping DC Studios will eventually #ReleaseTheAyerCut).

Gotham City Sirens later became Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, though we know that, for many of you, the less said about that movie, the better!

Offering an idea of what the movie could have looked like are some incredible Halloween costumes donned by Riverdale stars Camila Mendes, Madelaine Petsch, and Lili Reinhart. They each look near-perfect as their respective takes on the characters and we’re sure the majority of you would have no issue with this trio suiting up as the formidable anti-heroes in the DCU.

Mendes is a Teen Choice Awards winner also known for her work in Palm Springs, while Petsch is a social media megastar who will take centre stage in next year's remake of slasher franchise The Strangers. As for Reinhart, she counts the likes of Hustlers, Chemical Hearts, and Charlie's Angels among her many credits.

As far as we’re aware, the plan at DC Studios is for Margot Robbie to return as Harley, though whether James Gunn has plans for Selina Kyle and Pamela Isley remains to be seen. The former is obviously part of Matt Reeves’ The Batman franchise, though that doesn’t necessarily mean she’ll be off-limits to the DCU, especially with Gunn calling the shots instead of Warner Bros. executives.

In terms of female-led projects, the DCU isn't exactly lacking (we have Waller, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and a Themyscira-set series all on the way) but adding these three into the mix would be no bad thing.

What do you think about this take on the Gotham City Sirens from Mendes, Petsch, and Reinhart? Let us know your thoughts on this gorgeous trio in the comments section.

I have no idea who these people are, but this makes me miss these kind of articles honestly. Those thirst articles were so unnecessary, but I guess times were different then.

GetsugaTensho22 - 11/1/2023, 6:23 AM

@bkmeijer1 - I remember when Ror Machine pretended to be his own girlfriend and gave her text patterns that were meant to sound like a drunk person.
Back then he’d put her pictures up in Power Girl cosplay and the thirsting would commence.

Trust me, we’ve come a long way since LOL

I haven’t mentioned that one editor that interviewed porn stars exclusively and justified it by claiming the Porn Parodies were lampooning CBM’s.

bkmeijer1 - 11/1/2023, 7:29 AM

@GetsugaTensho22 - I did not know any of that stuff. That's pretty funny either way

CoHost - 10/29/2023, 6:00 PM

Are they not allowed to do this?

Origame - 10/29/2023, 6:32 PM

@CoHost - in today's world, looking hot is problematic.

But then again, everything nowadays is problematic.

comicfan100 - 10/29/2023, 7:45 PM

@Origame - It's because of the SAG-AFTRA strike that some celebrities aren't allowed to dress up for Halloween as certain characters. I think they get a pass because these are comic book characters first.

CoHost - 10/29/2023, 7:49 PM

@comicfan100 - Comic book characters owned by a major studio.

dagenspear - 10/29/2023, 8:29 PM

@Origame - Is that what they're saying?

comicfan100 - 10/29/2023, 8:52 PM

@dagenspear - Yes. That was kind of the case. They seem to have deleted the Halloween rules from their guidlines. I'm not gonna pretend to know more than the SAG members though.

comicfan100 - 10/29/2023, 8:59 PM

@CoHost - Maybe you're right. I haven't seen anything strictly enforced. They even took down the guideline from their website.

dagenspear - 10/29/2023, 9:50 PM

@comicfan100 - I was talking to the person trying to argue politics.

comicfan100 - 10/29/2023, 11:22 PM

@dagenspear - You did. My bad. Sorry, but users with no profile pics kinda trip me up, lol.

dagenspear - 10/30/2023, 12:07 AM

@comicfan100 - No problem. I thank God for your civil response.

comicfan100 - 10/29/2023, 6:00 PM

They really do take advantage of being a brunette/redhead/blonde trio every year.

KWilly - 10/29/2023, 7:36 PM

@comicfan100 - And their incredible looks. That helps

dracula - 10/29/2023, 6:04 PM

MasterMix - 10/29/2023, 6:19 PM

Perfect excuse to use their hair color

Batman5 - 10/29/2023, 6:40 PM

Mhmmm harleyyyyyy

That harley so hot.

GetsugaTensho22 - 11/1/2023, 6:24 AM

@gtabreaker - Latex has the magic properties of looking hot on any body type.

gtabreaker - 11/1/2023, 10:51 AM

@GetsugaTensho22 - Indeed.

AnthonyVonGeek - 10/29/2023, 6:52 PM

Wearing costumes of copy written characters that are owned by a big studio? SAG/AFTRA isn’t gonna like that.

SpiderParker - 10/29/2023, 7:42 PM

@AnthonyVonGeek - Technically, they are characters from animated shows and comic books.

GeneralZod - 10/29/2023, 8:04 PM

Camila Mendes channeling Julie Newmar.

dagenspear - 10/29/2023, 8:33 PM

@GeneralZod - fine tuned. No cheap sexualness in showing so much skin that doesn't make sense, classy, but still sexy and seductive. Camila Mendes I think totally pulls it off.

dagenspear - 10/29/2023, 8:31 PM

I think they all have solid looks. Camila Mendes has been a fancast I've wanted for Selina for sometime and I think she's really hitting the sexy but classy seductress vibe in that outfit. Not totally sold on the others as those characters, but I do think they moreso look hot like that.

comicfan100 - 10/29/2023, 9:00 PM

@dagenspear - I can honestly see these 3 playing these roles legit.

Repian - 10/29/2023, 9:09 PM

My Poison Ivy for Matt Reeves' Batman is Nell Tiger Free (Servant).

RolandD - 10/30/2023, 12:24 AM

@Repian - She looks about the right age for Gotham Ivy.

dragon316 - 10/30/2023, 8:24 AM

@Repian - hard to say they picked African woman play catwoman marvel did same thing with race swap hard to say

TheVandalore - 10/30/2023, 12:00 AM

Lili Reinhart is our Amber Heard substitute now that she is sullied. Yummy.

NinnesMBC - 10/30/2023, 2:33 AM
