		<description>I think Harley was made to be a one shot character...I mean, I guess she&#039;s OK, but honestly, I don&#039;t like any of the Gotham Girls, because they are all slutty looking girls, and every boy draws her naked, or something like that...*Sometimes girls...* Anyway, yea.</description>

		<description>Honestly, I think the original Black+red w/ Diamond was the best of these all, because all of the other ones, (I hate to say this but,) she looks like a stripper. I hate how they do that, because in Arkham City: The video game, she&#039;s pregnant, and what is her baby gonna be like around a stripper mommy? Plus, DCSS (Suicide Squad.)
makes her look pretty cool, but it just doesn&#039;t fit her. I mean, sure, if they are re-doing Harley, then fine, but if not, then it just doesn&#039;t. OH, and, making-out with Deadshot in a bathroom...really? OK, a redo yes, but like I said not if continuing with the Joker, becuase she loved him dearly, is going to mess up the whole story with them, and most likely now she&#039;s gonna try and kill Batman because he was the last one around &quot;Mista J&quot; when he died. Maybe, *Hopefully!* they bring him back to life somehow. I think there baby is gonna be Duela Joker. If not, I&#039;m not completely sure, and can&#039;t wait till the prequel comes out for the video games. I&#039;ve never actually bought those games, I just want to know how the story continues with Joker+Harley. :) ENJOY.

		<description>I prefer the older Harley, but i do love the redesign and outfit in Arkham City, it fits her practicality. But the Suicide Squad Harley just looks like a cheap tart.... which i can shrug and put up with, its the fact that in the comics themselves, she acts like a wh0re, just cos the Jokers died. Its just not Harley.</description>

		<description>I too really like the Arkham City costume she&#039;s sporting, but always will have a soft spot in my heart for the classic jester outfit. ^^ The Arkham City outfit looks more intimidating, yet still has the playfulness and this sort of dangerous sex appeal. It&#039;s really perfect for her and where she&#039;s been as a character (as well as where I&#039;d like her to go, getting more spine and becoming an actual threat without Ivy OR the Joker around), and I wouldn&#039;t mind one bit if they made it a staple for her looks in the comics.</description>

		<description>The DCnU costume looks like it would work better for Marvel&#039;s Typhoid Mary, IMO.  Doesn&#039;t speak &quot;Harley Quinn&quot; to me.  And if it does accurately reflect the state of the character in the new Suicide Squad then I have to wonder if they would have been better off using a different character instead of (presumably) changing what made Harley Quinn unique.

Guess we&#039;ll see how it all plays out in September.  But her original costume is great... :-)</description>

		<description>NICK: Actually, just about all the Bat characters are being left alone, so one would assume Harley&#039;s history would remain. You&#039;re right though, only time will tell. My point though is that the costume IN GENERAL is lazy and uninspired, even if Harley is changed into a sex fiend.</description>

		<description>Eh, this whole DCNu crap is change for change sake. No reason for it. We&#039;ll just cancel all our books whether they&#039;re good or not and change everything so we can get publicity. If it doesn&#039;t work they&#039;ll revert back to old like so much Heroes Reborn. This is exactly why I&#039;m losing interest in mainstream comics. It&#039;s all about the short term sales spike.</description>

		<description>Another great one, Alan! The new takes in the title already have a mark against based on the cover to #1 and I&#039;m not sure that an Ostrander-less Suicide Squad will be any good but I&#039;m going to give it a look.  I would have liked to have seen Gail Simone get a shot at it though.</description>

		<description>Excellent points about why the new costume doesn&#039;t quite work for the pre-established character of Harley Quinn. Disliking the latest costumes shouldn&#039;t simply dismissed as fearing change (e.g. I like the new Wonder Woman costume without the jacket) but just bad style for a specific individual. Costumes should quickly convey the idea of the character: their temperament, their powers, their personality, their sense of their own body, and, of course, taste. 

However, for good or ill, with the soft reboot of DC, the Suicide Squad costume of Harley Quinn might be an excellent representative of the contemporary take of the character.</description>

		<description>Harley, a useless one-note character that never goes away. I guess it pays to leech on the Joker&#039;s fame to be popular.

And I&#039;m not trolling, I really hate her. But I also hate Damian Wayne, so I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if all of you think I am a troll.

Relax, I do like Cass.</description>

		<description>Yes no one has the right to write-off the story or context of these comics.........yet. But someone on here stated a good point. Comics are a visual medium, there aren&#039;t comic books on tape (books on tape, yes a dated reference but most of us remember them). So going with that alone yes most of the new DC costumes are terrible. Superman needs armor?!?! Batman maybe, but the man of steel? I cringe to think what Steel himself will look like, perhaps he&#039;ll be naked since that would make the least amount of sense. 

But I digress. Harley can get a new costume, she can evolve, but it has to be for a reason and the design should always match the character. Yes there is suspension of disbelief because people can&#039;t do the things superheroes can, but it helps ground the characters when their outfits makes sense for them, i.e. A gymnast with a PHD who was brought into the costumed world by the joker would NOT dress that way. But I&#039;ll give DC a honest chance because I would prefer to be dead wrong and have some of this new stuff work out.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes no one has the right to write-off the story or context of these comics&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;yet. But someone on here stated a good point. Comics are a visual medium, there aren&#8217;t comic books on tape (books on tape, yes a dated reference but most of us remember them). So going with that alone yes most of the new DC costumes are terrible. Superman needs armor?!?! Batman maybe, but the man of steel? I cringe to think what Steel himself will look like, perhaps he&#8217;ll be naked since that would make the least amount of sense. </p>

		<description>Regarding the DCnU and all the various costume changes: I am a person who tends to buy things that are aesthetically pleasing. So far, the entire line-up is mostly not pleasing to my eye. It all looks rather terrible, not unlike a rehash of the worst the 90s had to offer. Comics are a visual medium and visually, this looks awful. It&#039;s one thing to say &#039;don&#039;t judge a book by it&#039;s cover&#039; but with comics, that&#039;s essentially what they&#039;re all about. Covers are there to grab your attention and entice you to buy/read. These designs and these covers are, for the most part, simply awful. Justice League looks like WildC.A.T.S, Harley looks like Ke$ha in a Halloween costume and Superman looks idiotic in armor. Just my take on things. Let the arguments continue, but remember that you can&#039;t change people&#039;s opinions by yelling at them.</description>

		<description>The unfortunate thing here is this title is not a straight-up superhero title; it&#039;s presumably more of an action/espionage read.  Therefore, it could theoretically appeal to a lot of those new readers DC is banking on, especially women.  So, they take a strong, likable female character and put her front and center, but then they do the one thing that turns off many women to comic books in the first place--they turn her into cheesecake. Maybe the costume will look different when rendered by the interior artist, but that won&#039;t matter if people can&#039;t get beyond the cover.</description>

		<description>&quot;No one outside of Mike, who we are ignoring because he’s a ranting looney tune, is saying anything about the line, except; “good lord those costumes look shit,” says the guy who clearly isn&#039;t ignoring anything because he just commented on it.

Talk to me in a year, Smart Guy, when DC&#039;s Big, Dramatic Change to entice new readers hasn&#039;t enticed a single one and all the same thirty year-olds reading comics are still clamoring for somebody to notice them.  I don&#039;t think the reason kids aren&#039;t get into comics has anything to do with Harley Quinn&#039;s &quot;daisy dukes&quot; or the length of Superman&#039;s collar.  Let alone Batman&#039;s knee-pads.</description>

		<description>Well. . . I like the relaunch hair. I don&#039;t hate the outfit in general, okay - I don&#039;t hate the hot pants, although I cringe at the potential wedging of. . .yeah. Anyway, I think the issue with the DCnU outfit is it is JUST NOT IN CHARACTER. Harley Quinn has always struck me as the happiest person in Gotham. She may be a (maybe) schizotypal badass in love with a psychotic mastermind, but taking her, or the costume into uber-gritty aesthetics just doesn&#039;t sit well. The nurse outfit is, as you pointed out, Alan - diminishing. The Arkham City outfit is my favorite practical look, though. It&#039;s mostly functional, doesn&#039;t reduce the character to T &amp; A, and suits the in-universe aesthetic without taking away from the character.</description>

		<description>I just meant that the psychos actually look psycho. She looks psycho. Also not able to draw any parallels between this look and the Image style of the 90s. Some other stuff out of the relaunch, no doubt, but not this.</description>

		<description>Nah, a Rob Zombie slasher film tends to have more visual nods to garage-rock album art of the 60s and the grindhouse movies of the 70s, not so much nostalgia for fugly Image school comic art of the 90s.</description>

		<description>&quot;This outfit is also a very good example of how a woman in comics can be sex without having half of her costume mysteriously missing.&quot;

This seems a little disingenuous with the Gotham City Sirens #1 cover which, if flesh coloured, would appear to be a naked woman with her ample backside on display. I&#039;m not sure that it&#039;s a problem, but that seems like a glaring oversight for this bold claim.</description>
