Looks Like Harley Quinn's Recent New-52 Costume Was Also Considered For SUICIDE SQUAD

We know about the classic jester costume easter egg from Suicide Squad, but some new images from one of the movie's official companion books seems to confirm that he New-52 outfit was also considered.

One awesome shot from David Ayer's Suicide Squad features Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) dancing with The Joker while wearing her original jester costume from the Batman Animated Series. Then later on we see Harley picking up that same outfit while the Squad are suiting up for their mission.

A Reddit user noticed the image below from one of the trailers, and it seems Miss Quinn was originally also supposed to grab part of her more recent New-52 getup before the shot was cut. That, coupled with the concept art above, definitely hints that Ayer and co. were considering going with the more sexually suggestive duds.



Were you happy with Harley's final look, or would you have preferred something closer to one of the comic book iterations?

The New53 look could've worked. The cartoon mask is too stupid for live action. It's just as bad as Wolverine's and Hawkeye's masks.

@blackandyellow - I agree. It was in the movie and looked stupid.

I don't know how this movie will do against Sausage Party. Children movies always take the number one spot.

Well then Joe was stupid for letting me take his kids to go see it this weekend. Partly because it's rated R and partly because I'm actually taking them to a cabin in the woods....

@Martha123 - Holy crap, is that where they got the look from? No wonder I find it so repulsive. Friggin' hacks.

yeah sex sells do the new 52 next time out, yeah I know sexism is down this year but if the kardashians can keep going naked than I can hope for the sexual aggressive comic book character in a movie we all know marvel wont do that

T think they whent with the t shirt because its the easiest to do for cosplayers (its easier to find a shirt than a corset for an everyday girl) Expect lots of Harleys this halloween

The take on Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad was different from what I imagined. The movie version combined 52 vixen Harley with the classic Harley Quinn. However, I felt they need to tone the Gangsta aura a notch. Margot was fine even though the voice was not childlike/high pitch but this was a movie version.

Personally, I think that the various slutty comic book costumes they've given her have all been trash. Something based on the classic suit would be preferred (Given the actual big-budget treatment... what was in the film was more akin to Captain America's War Bond stage costume), or something more like Arkham City's Harley design.

Love the old costume and the nod we got, but I also think the film's costume is fantastic. They did a great job with that
