Harley has had
several different looks over the years as she's appeared in different
incarnations. Down below we take a look at them! :) Click on
an image to see it full size!
FIRST CONCEPT
SKETCH
Doodled by Paul Dini as ideas on Harley's look for her
appearance in 'Joker's Favour' and presented to Bruce Timm, who apparently
said "hmmmmm... No."
This is a very cute glimpse at a 'coulda been' Harley.
Love the flashy over the top "glasses/mask" and the bouffant hair-do
as well as the very cute Joker and Harley doodle in the top left hand
corner and the Harley and Bats one in the lower left hand corner. Hee!
Just think what could've been folks... ! :D

CLASSIC HARLEY
(B:TAS)
And this is the Harley every knows and loves, the original
design that debuted with the animated series in 1992 and the comic
book based on the series.
A classic jester costume, suitably modified to suit Harley's
killer bod, striking in its simplicity and absolutely gorgeous, along
with Harley's trademark wide, sexy and sligtly sinister grin!
This classic look was changed only minimally for the new
series, becoming more streamlined and angular, but that's it.

MAINSTREAM
COMICS HARLEY
Ahhh, the mainstream Harley. The slightly whackier, more
dangerous Harley.
Once again, the classic costume design has really not been
altered - it doesn't need to be, it's too fabulously perfect a costume!
Of course, to suit the more detailed style of the mainstream,
Harley is rendered here and in the mainstream comics in a more 'realistic'
style.
Also, is it just me, or did she also get inflatable boobies??
Lookin' good, Harls.

THE BATMAN
HARLEY
The design of the Harley Quinn for the new 'The Batman'
animated series was modified slightly to fit in with this series' highly
stylised and quite kooky look.
Harley's history changed a little too - she was a TV psychologist
after an interview with The Joker to remake her reputation when Mister
Jay twisted her mind and took advantage of her. He also took her on
a pretty awesome date and openly drooled over her new look.
I love it! It's bent and twisted and quite an insane Harley
look.

ELSEWORLDS HARLEY
In the Elseworlds special 'Thrillkiller
'62'. an alternative looking Harley Quinn had a brief, but memorable
appearance.
This Harley's real name was Hayley and she was a teenager
obsessed with Batgirl and Robin and the 'Joker' of this story - a woman
named Bianca Steeplechase.
She ends up hooking up with Bianca, having become infatuated
with her, and causing a bit of twisted mayhem.
And looks pretty neat doing it! |

BIRDS OF PREY
HARLEY
Dr. Harleen Quinzel was a regular character in the short-lived
live-action TV series, 'Birds of Prey'.
Played by Mia Sara (who I love solely due to 'Legend') she
never makes an appearance as Harley Quinn, but is apparently trying
to carry
on the work of The Joker!
I've never seen the series so I can't say for sure - but
as cute as Mia Sara is, this lacks something. Too strait-laced! The
only live-action Harley we've had yet though!
