Margot Robbie Cast As Harley Quinn In Suicide Squad

Director David Ayer seems to be getting his Suicide Squad together for their closeup in 2016. Rumors of Jared Leto circling the role of The Joker last week should have confirmed that Harley would be a definite member and now it has happened.

Margot Robbie, who you may remember as the wife of Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street, has been cast as fan favorite psycho Harley Quinn. The character was introduced in Batman: The Animated Series in 1992 and became a permanent comic staple since.

Harley is one of those characters that comes with a rabid fan base and how she is handled in Suicide Squad is going to be scrutinized big time. That is what nerds do. To an annoying degree.

Robbie was very good in The Wolf of Wall St. with the character she was given. Let’s hope she has the goods to pull off the giddy insanity.

The fine people over at Comic Book Resources have broke the news that everone’s favorite psychopathic girlfriend, Harley Quinn, will be getting her own series beginning this fall in DC’s New 52. The title will be written by Jimmy Palmiotti with art by Amanda Conner.

In the interview, Palmiotti spoke about how their Harley plays along with the New 52:

“We took a good long look at the New 52 version and then applied it to what we were going to do in the series. Harley is a complex character and we are going to build on her background, motivations and her home and supporting cast. Sort of what we did with Power Girl but with a mix of a bit more homicidal maniac added in.”

Conner was asked about her inspiration for Harley’s new costume for the series:

“I am trying to incorporate my favorite things about her latest look and her early costume. I was also inspired by some roller derby girls that I met a short time ago. I think that look totally works for Harley. Another thing I try to keep in mind is what would work really well for costumers and cosplayers, and what would be fun for them to create. One of my favorite things at a comic convention is seeing people dressed up in something that just started out as a thought in my head. Lastly, I always put the character in something that I wish I could run around in all the time”

Harley Quinn will release this fall.

I am here to make sure you have a good Friday so here is a wonderful piece of Harley Quinn cosplay from the people at atomic-latex.com. They have made me waste a little more than a few minutes on their website. Purely for investigative reasons for this post of course.

If you are a serious cosplayer then you need to give them a look. If you are a Harley Quinn fan like me…

You’re welcome.
