• To all of you who are using the excuse that Harley is dressing this way because of her 'liberated sexuality' http://imageshack.us/f/836/75694889.jpg/ She isn't. Once again Harley is trying to get the Joker to pay attention to her. Skimpy new outfit, sex in the bathroom... Honestly if the Joker does come back into the picture what do you think is going to happen? I love Harley Quinn- she is my all-time favorite character, but she is a battered woman.

• does DC have to make every super villain a carbon copy of the joker? I liked harley when she was a goofy demented screwball slightly Psycho   sidekick of the joker  I have no sympathy  for  this version at all DC deserves to go bankrupt  over this crapfest

• you just dont like half-naked women?? its cool if your a prude...just admit it

• Food for thought: The people who are decrying the "slut shaming" and are saying things like "Can't handle a woman showing a little skin, huh?!" are most likely the same people who bitch and moan about women being objectified and overly-sexualized in the first place. Pick a side and stick with it, people.

• chill out. I dont mind the new look at all. I mean big deal, catwoman is usually depicted wearing a skin suit with cleavage that leaves nothing to the imagination. Costumes change all the time.

• don't know why but "get over yourself" just sounds terrible.

• It's a frikin' costume change.  Ranting over "slut this and whore that" when you have basically 90% (at least) of the female characters in the comicverse in SWIMSUITS while superpowered godlike men save the planet with their bulging muscles is ridonkulous. get over yourself.

• cool, can I pretend I don't find the female form attractive too? "NUUUUUU boobies! whayyy???!!!" yeah, it's Harley, but I'd like Harley no matter what she's wearing. and showing skin does not = slut

• Is there something sexy about this costume? W.T.F.

• I don't like Harley at ALL. Half of what I loved about her design was that it left it alll to the imagination.I loved the cowl because I knew her big blue eyes were underneat it. I loved the jester hat because when she took it off, she had gorgeous blonde hair in piggy-tails or a pony-tail.The suit was sexier as a full cat-suit, I loved to imagine holding her on my lap! - It's not only the man-fans who miss the suit's subtlety. We female fans miss it too!

• Well, speaking as a fat, bald, old, out-of-touch, suburban, Silver-Age, cracker fanboy, I liked Ted Kord because instead of ANGSTY COSMIC DRAMA, he generally had mundane, relatable problems like insecurity and heart trouble; because he had Peter Principle'd himself up to B-list superhero through competence, not editorial fiat; and mostly, because he and Booster were funny together and made jokes the way my friends and I did.  So go ahead, call me and mine White Bread. We've been called worse. Ted was a nice guy who knew he would finish last for doing the right thing, but did it anyway, and though we are rarer than Northern White Rhino, there are a still a few of us left in this world.

• I wish they would stop messing with Harley. I mean really, they make her look like a $20 whore and hell, Arleen isn't even her voice actress in arkham city! C'mon DC get your shit together and stop ruining Harley D:<

• Oh, and this is just WAAAAYYYY too reminiscent of Tira from Soul Calibur. : / I'm going to go out on a limb and say that got some inspiration form her? But with Tira, it works. With Harley, it doesn't. It just isn't her.  

• The thing is, I'm racking my brains, and Harley to my knowledge was never actually a member of the Suicide Squad. : / And for those of you who I'm sure don't know, the Suicide Squad was comprised of Villians who, in exchange for commuted prison sentances, would go on high-risk black-ops missions, top secret to the point that they were deniable assets to the U.S. Government. It was rightly called Suicide because more often than not, there would be someone who was killed on these missions. Whether discovered and put to death or an accident, there was never a confirmation that you would come home.  

• Well, girls don't tend to fight crime in bikinis, for one.  It's kind of impractical.  Also, we don't go to the mall in binkinis.  Or the grocery store.  You get the idea.  Eventually it reaches the point of ridiculousness...I mean, just simple physics here....one carthweel and she's right out of her top. Also, think of how many female heroes and villains show skin as opposed to male, and the scales are pretty tipped towards the former.  I mean, who else besides the Martian Manhunter is out there running around half-naked in the DCU?  Hawkman?  And J'onn just got pants so he's hardly running around in the male version of a bikini.

• "I know there are a few vocal Ted Kord fans, but to me, that's like being a vocal fan of white bread. Just... why?" Becuase Blue and Gold was one of the best best friendships of comicsdom, THAT'S why.  Can you name another pair of buddies in the DCU? I'm going to keep being a vocal Ted Kord fan until I cease to draw breath.

• considering that i have a very , very strange and extreme harley quinn fetish, this is fine by me. lmao (adds to spankbank)

• Did anyone else think of BURAAAAAAAK ROOOOOOOOK SHOOOOOOOOOOOTAAAAAA

• Thank you DC for continuing to rape whatever sense of decency you ever once had, and any one thing you've ever had, for that matter. Your masterful completion over the years of fucking up literally every concept you've ever introduced somewhere down the line of your illustrious history, through useage of either giant, massive universe-changing events that fuck everything up.... Or the small, personal, individual, little touches of every historical concept, character, idea, establishment and concept that you have ever introduced in itself, though big or small that you've lovingly fucked up through personal attention, effort and dedication. Literally nothing from your entire history, however large or miniscule has ever gone unscathed or desecrated by you, multiple times at the very least. It's somehow impressive, in a sick, sad, extremely depressing way, just how perfect DC has become at the art of failing. My hat. It is off.

• Flashpoint is currently resetting the DCU.  I hope they change it back, but they have announced new first issues of all the comics later this summer or fall, so I assume that by that time Wildstorm characters will be retconed into the regular DCU just like Crisis on Infinite Earths merged in the Charleton characters and several other imprints.

• I think she looks bad ass, slutty or not.

• Have you actually read any comics featuring Ted Kord past his Charleston days? You keep calling him white bread and boring, but Ted's been full of personality since the late 80's. I adore Jaime and am glad he has the name of Blue Beetle and his own book, but there's no need to bash Ted without knowing anything about him...

•  That was a Mr. Plinkett review.

• Now is this new Suicide Squad somehow aligned with the Suicide Girls? Because that could explain things. As a wise old Mr. Horse once said, "No, sir. I don't like it."

• Harley Quinn is easily my favorite character in any comic over the past ten years. Am not happy with this design. That being said, since it is Harley, I actually will give her more leeway into making it work then I would other characters. Only a little leeway, though.

• Well Poison Ivy is now in a full unitard, so they had to get the material from SOMEWHERE. Besides, maybe it's good for character development. She's done with Mistah J,  so she doesn't dress like he wants her to anymore. Well, I can dream, at least.

• I was, in NO way, calling her a "whore". She is degraded in this outfit due to her personality. She always seemed to carry herself highly, only under The Joker, doing everything she could for him, which gave her character a feel that she would only wear this style of outfit around HIM. Going to male heroes: I don't really like it with them, either.. I hate the stereotype "We need no armor" ideas, even if some of my favorite heroes wear so little(MM being one of them).  I am the kind of guy that hates skimpy female armor in games, hate the skimpy clothes in comics.. I suffer them if I enjoy the writing, but I don't see the point. Harley goes up against hard hitters.. She needs something light for her acrobatics, but still protective. I can make the same argument here that I did in a discussion about armor in WoW: "Why do I have to put on a damn chainmail thong, one shoulder pad, a tiara, and a bandage for a top when the things I fight would rip me to SHREDS in this?"

• So, you all know what Bang Bus is, which means that you watch porn, but you can't handle that a comic book character may be dressed like a porn star, which means that you find the porn profession dishonorable. I have to say that, realistically, you can't have it both ways; You either find pornography dishonorable, and refuse to watch it, or you watch it and accept that it is a perfectly honorable profession. The "Madonna/Whore" complex is exemplified at its worst among nerds. That said, this costume is, canonically, certainly out of character for Harley Quinn. 

• They are definitely not pants.  Hot pants form a straightish line across the hips.  That is very clearly a V, that panties make. Also, Supergirl is also not wearing pants.

• I changed the name to match the outfit. ;) (Everyone agrees this is only kind-of like Harley Qunzell, so...)

• Nope, just means you're not carrying around Madonna/Whore of Babylon dichotomy medieval fear of female sexuality bullshit, as seemingly everyone else here is.

• She's technically still wearing pants. Low rise hot pants, but pants none the less.

• Harley's a villain, she isn't an expected role model for young girls, so she can pretty much wear whatever she (or her artist) wants

• Degraded? Ah, the double standard of "NO! WOMEN CAN'T SHOW SKIN OR THEY'RE SLUTS!" She's showing less skin that Poison Ivy has been in recent properties (remember, in AA, she was pretty much just wearing panties and a really short sweater, if that). Beyond that, look at the outfits of some male characters, like Martian Manhunter (speedo, boots, bondage harness, cape) or Namor (Speedo). There's also the fact that were she to go to a beach, she'd be showing more skin in a bikini than she does in this new outfit. This is of course not even addressing the question of "why is skin bad?" So you can see her thighs and navel. So what? Why does this make her dressed like a whore?

• And that's how the 90's most worthwhile and enduring addition to the Batman franchise was transformed into a cheap knockoff of Daredevil villain Typhoid Mary.

• I would so buy a book that had Ted trying to deal with Paco, Brenda, and the occasional visits of Traci Thirteen.

• FUCKING BAT SHARK REPELLENT, HOW DOES THAT WORK?

• Actually that's Harleen QuinZELL. And yes, I am anal retentive to insist on her correct name. Geit it right! Do you know how many Harleen Quin's there are in the DC universe?! Just as many Wanda Maximoff's in the Marvel Universe, that's how many!!! How are people supposed to know who you're talking about?! We could have chaos on our hands!!! CHAOS!

• To some degree it's, as Tim Gunn put it, semiotics. Harley Quinn's old outfit was quickly and easily associated with, well, a harlequin. That harlequin imagery translated to an understanding that she was associated with another clown themed character, the Joker. This outfit... Why western pistol holsters? Why a bandoleer? I can sort of understand the throwing knives in relation to a circus act, and the cape, sort of, but the cape is awkward. The rest of her outfit, though, is the sort one typically associates with strippers or streetwalkers. There are revealing costumes which do not carry that implication. Wonder Woman, and even Power Girl manage to not come off as bottom of the barrel sleaze because of how they carry themselves. A powerful look or a winning smile go a long way. This picture, is not the Harley I know. She's not adorable and open, but incredibly dangerous when you look closer. It's just exceedingly hostile. A lot of people say the attitude of this pic seems closer to the Joker, but there's already a guy who sneers like that, the Joker. If they really want a character with that look, who has a thing for knives and homicide, they could get Rose & Thorn, as I've probably said before. Why does it matter? Simple, this is artwork meant to express a character and sell a book. The character that's on the page there, doesn't feel, at first, second, or third pass like Harley and that's my problem. Put Bruce Wayne in the exact same outfit but in blue and gray-- it's just as out of character for him-- and now that you have bat-beefcake, I don't think anyone would argue that it's an appropriate look for the character. Maybe if he had bat-pasties, that would be pretty hot.

• I dunno know, man. Liked the spandex a lot more for Quinn. Timeless design. Besides, I'm an "outline" kind of guy, versus, well... this.

• I don't get it? Honestly, what is the problem? In a meta example it makes absolutely no difference since she had never wore any tipe of armor but only a full body leotard, so  she is having the same amount of defense (meaning none) and it doesn't make it any more impausable or unfitting when one is going to fight. In a more straight direction: she is sexy?... and this is bad HOW? Don't see how this would affect (if the writing is good) her characterization, her efficiency or her personality. Isn't hypocrite decrying that doing this is degrading when said fans are doing the  degrading of the character instantly of how she looks? You haven't even read the story or the dialog and you are stating she is unworthy in  aesthetics alone? Shouldn't we be able to see beyond "boobies" before making any asumption. In fact, Isn't  this article is doing exactly as its accusing the author to do, lowering a good writen character sorely for how her looks? Maybe Im thinking too much or I had simply become sickening of all the Nerd bemoaning of sexuality, like a panicked 22 year old in the Dark Age of Superheroes, instead of screaming how "hardcore" and "mature" comic is, now vomiting how pro-feminist (which is not, by the way- or at least its  more in line with Militant Feminism, if a little) and enlightened they are, how witty they are  and how thoughtfull they are  when they demand things to be more considerated and respectable for the Fair sex (You Go Girl). It makes one sound equally vanal, immature and panicked shamed Fan who is trying desesperately to win approval from people who could care less (or only care in the sense of crytizing) about the medium in the first place. Yes, it looks irrealistic. So is 99% of the entire comic Verse and its, might remind you,  an escapism work ? Are you seriously stating that a top and some shorts are destroying your Sense of Disbelief in the comic industry? In a work with the Suicide Squad? Oh, by the way, excellent for you to call her an Slut. And a whore. Because she is obviously is, dressing like that instead of some respectable jeans and a sweater. Since she isn't capable of having any sense of personality, intelligence, morality or any worth whatsoever. That isn't anything misogynist and degrading. At. All. Surely it shows how tolerant and far thinking you are and how much respect you had for the character  in the first place. Well wathever. I honestly liked her how she looks, like a demented version of Alice in Wonderland (not like in the game) and her smile is so Joker that its sent shivers to my spine. The hair is so-so and the small cape really doesn't work (it would have been better if she had gloves or instead of bullets were knife but yea).  The entire look  create an image of violence, of uncontrolled rage, of the madness (almost Lovecraftian with the background) that is about to be unleashed. Hell, even her pose is less about a poster girl and more like an animal ready to strike and you can bet she is going to enjoy every single second of it.  I only hope that the story can make justice to this picture.

• HA! Well, I don't like his belt. But, the underwear on the outside needed to go. But, it isn't just the costume. DC annouced that A) Grant Morrison is writing Superman B) Superman is the first superhero on DC's Earth again C) they are going back to his golden age roots where the public doesn't trust him (the golden age Superman would get shot at by cops and the first time Lois Lane saw him, she was terrified. That's right Marvel fanboys, DC did what Stan Lee did first). Hopefully, he's depowered down to the golden age/JLU level again (where an explosion or a hit by a missle hurts). If he cracks jokes, kicks ass, and sticks up for the little guy again, I will fucking love that.

• Yuck

• I gotta say, DC was really smart to pick up some licensing and team up with one of the premiere feminist voices of the generation on this new book: http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/4001/suicidesquadcover02g.jpg

• or... a Juggalo..

• Also, I'll be surprised if there isn't a controversy over Midnighter and Apollo. Not because their gay, but because they're gay murderous superheroes. Authority was probably a lot more murdery, but now that they're in mainstream DC, aren't Gay groups gonna complain that the one gay couple is a negative example for gayness? Unless...welll, I guess if they dial back on the murderness.Time will tell.

• yyyyup there's basically no credibility to your complaints about Harley's new outfit when it's directly under your favorite photo of a big-tittied Power Girl cosplayer.

• POWER. COMPANY. PLEASE. BRING IN THE POWER COMPANY. THE DC UNIVERSE NEEDS MORE POWER COMPANY. MAKE A POWER COMPANY TV SHOW. IT'S CALLED THE FREAKING POWER COMPANY. IT'S RUN BY A BIG GUY NAMED MR. POWER. IT HAS AN EVEN BIGGER GUY IN IT. HOW IS THIS NOT A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR FRANCHISE?! seriously, it writes its own marketing. I would love someone to care about the Power Company again.

• Google Juggalette. That's the new Harley. :(

• I like the Q idea, but completely benching Ted isn't as fun for me. I'd like to see a way to have the two of them both out there.

• That's a huge difference for me, I root for Ted because there's something there to like, with Hal it's like we're sort of ordered to because it's his comic.

• That's one way to look at it. Another way is that they basically are saying "this is the way it is, so suck it up and deal with it." None of the fans want to see Oracle go away, so saying that they are "listening to the fans" is pretty....odd.

• Jurgens is sooooo much better on Booster Gold than Giffen and DeMatteis. They tried so hard to make it a wacky and zany comic instead of an action comic with a sense of humor. And they failed miserably. It was painfully unfunny, and by cramming in as many jokes as possible, it was a constant barrage of unfunny, uninteresting tripe.

• -also, i just noticed, she is wearing cowboy gun holsters, a little cape and a victorian ruff. I'm guessing her level of crazy just squared or something.

• god knows how flash points going to effect it but in the latest birds of prey issues shes kind of had a proper mental breakdown and seems a lot crazier than usual, maybe this is the end result of that? I mean you can only be the jokers beaten wife for so long before you snap in a buffalo bill kinda way and not her usual "aint i a stinker" kind of way y'know? it had to take a toll on her eventually. and how would dc express that in art form? grimdark emo harley thats how.

• Guess the relaunch is already planning a crossover; looks like Harley is teaming up with Hammerhead and IG-88 from STAR WARS.

• First crush? What has this got to do with Amy Joe Johnson's Pink Power Ranger?

• The problem with that statement is being able to tell which gender Marilyn Manson was to begin with.

• Hopefully this is just a stylized cover or something, and not the real costume?  I do like the pigtails, though, and the viciousness of her face.  The corset is just dumb.

• Actually reminds me of a gender-swapped Marilyn Manson.

• Then you need to learn an appreciate a woman's curves in spandex, and the style of leaving the goods to the imagination, rather than having them flop out for all and sundry to stare at. Harley was cute/crazy sexy personified, this costume makes her look like a whorish Rodeo Clown.

• I understand how you feel, but Jaime wasn't intended to be Ted's replacement, but his successor, like Dick Grayson as Batman. Given how badly DC fucked up the transfer, its no surprise how much venom you feel towards the character. But Jaime is very much his own character, a Blue Beetle unique from Ted and any gone before him. I'd elaborate on this more, but those two episodes from the Brave and the Bold say it much better than I ever could, or DC ever did. Regardless, we need Ted back among the living like we need Harley back in her real costume!

• This is a PERFECT idea. Reminds me a little of the mentor/student between relationship between Terry and Bruce in Batman Beyond, except way more fun and cheerful! DC, PLEASE give us a Blue Beetle comic with Ted as Jaime's mentor. There is a book I would pay money to see.

• The Hal/Ted comparison is perfect. Both have relatively simple personalities, the difference being that Ted HAS character, Hal is marked by an absence of it.

• I still can't find anything sexy about Quinn when shes in her normal jester outfit

• "Q to the superheroes' James Bond," well said! 

• Other than the hair, this new outfit completely sucks.  What have they done to my poor Harley??

• Woah!!! Dude.

• I agree. I think having Jaime keep the Blue Beetle mantle, bringing Ted back and letting him retire, and then making him the Q to the superheroes' James Bond (Batman supplies them already, and Kord Industries was folded into Wayne Enterprises a while ago) would be a brilliant and innovative direction that would probably please everyone.

• If Ted's no longer dead I'd be perfectly happy seeing him in an Oracle style, behind the scenes role, partly serving as a mentor to Jaime even. I just like Ted Kord and I don't think calling him "white bread" takes his whole character into account. 

• What Warner Bros. giveth, DC taketh.

• This is an outrage.  Fuck DC

• You know, this may come a huge shock, but it is (*gasp!*) possible to be a fan of (*GASP!!*) TWO VERSIONS OF A CHARACTER!!! Really! Isn't that, like, the most astonishing, unbelievable, jaw-dropping news you've ever heard? Like, no WAY right?  I mean, it's supposed to be a solid, undeniable, well-established fact that either you hate the original version of a character and think the replacement is a vast improvement, or think the replacement is a crappy imitation and the original is gold, right? Right? I mean, there's NO way you can mention that you like a legacy character without shitting all over his predecessor right? And if you like a character who died, it's impossible to do anything other than hate his replacement with a passion and yearn for him to come back, right? Well, not anymore! This groundbreaking new phenomenon allows you to do the impossible — like a character, yet like his replacement equally well, and actually (*GASP!*) NOT want the original to come back, despite the fact that you liked him! Can you believe it? It actually allows superhero fans to do the impossible — get along and not seem like utter assholes to each other! Amazing, amazing new development! I adore Jaime Reyes with all my heart, and I don't want him to go anywhere but I also adore Ted Kord whether he's alive or not, and sorry, but you comparing Ted Kord to Hal Jordan and calling him white bread would have made me shoot milk out of my nose if I had been drinking it when I read that.

• Wow. Do you think DC put Harley on the cover of Suicide Squad thinking they could get a cut of Suicide Girls traffic?  They did just come out with a comic book too..

• THAT is HARLEY?! When I saw it yesterday, it didn't even register that's who it was until I saw her named on the DC Women Kicking Ass blog. I posted a link the image in a couple other threads, about how DC was being hypocritical and didn't even realize who the character was. I thought the Arkham Asylum game costume was kinda odd but neat as an alt costume. I thought the new Arkham City design was just too trashy an pretty crap design. NOW DC has made a skimpier and stupider design of Harley's actual comics outfit! WHAT THE HELL?! All while putting pants on Wonder Woman and a number of other characters to seem more modest toward women. Yay. More of that good old DC consistency in policy. Meanwhile, I really really like Jaime, but I do wish they would bring back Ted Kord.  You can't just write the character off. If you say Ted Kord is white bread, you obviously have never read any of his comics, namely the Justice League International books. Those were some damn interesting comics and a very off the wall take on the Justice League. Oh and the new Apllo and Midnighter designs look horrendous. Plus this while Wildstorm integrated into the DCUnu is weird.  Not as weird as seeing Barbara Gordon walking, but weird.

• Shit, Harley is wearing even less clothes than the Dee Dees.  Also, Ted Kord was not white bread.  Read some JLI.  Damn I miss Ted so much... DC is going to bring back everyone in the universe before they let him or Vic live again.  That said, I do like Jaime and want him to hang around too.

• I remember reading somewhere (maybe here, I'm not sure) about someone challenging a friend to describe Star Wars characters without using their jobs or species. The friend had a much easier time with the original trilogy characters than the prequel characters. And that's the difference between Hal Jordan and Ted Kord. If asked to describe Hal I can only really come up with his jobs. Ted as a character had a lot going for him. I dig on Jaime too and really, that's a wonderful problem to have. That no matter which way DC goes with Blue Beetle we've got a good character to read about.

• You know how a certain character REALLY connects with you, and his/her character traits and life speak to your own? That was Ted Kord to me . Using humor to cover up his feelings of be inadequate, having that dumb buddy that you always stood up for, even when he was wrong. Being in a group and wondering how the hell he was in such great company. His death hit me hard, and to replace him with a kid in an alien suit was an insult. Jaime could be called Super terrific bug kid or call him XO Manowar, or Voltron or Tech Jacket, whatever. he did not need to be Blue Beetle.

• To be fair, the DC universe needs its own Spiderman chjaracter. I think Jaime Reyes fits that role admirably. Regardless of that, it also needs Ted Kord back! Blue and the Gold, DC!

• Nope, I just saw the trade on my local comic store shelf. I had to admit, the idea of a Harley comic not written by Paul Dini put me off...maybe I should check it out again.

• Donna has been pointed out by Jurgens on his page as NOT being the girl in the pic.

• My biggest problem with this costume is that at first glance I didn't know I was looking at Harley Quinn...with a really long piece of dental floss stuck in her teeth...and her face looks more Joker like than before...I wonder if that was done on purpose.  Not sure I'm a fan...

• Supe's new outfit doesn't suck?

• I would've gone with Suicide Girls, that goth porn site. But seriously, Harley is someone I more expect to fall in love with the Joker, only have eyes for him, and look like a cute clown while she goes on a murderous rampage with her inamorato. If Harley were just a mook instead of a recurring villain with Harley's particular personality, I'd love the costume.

• It looks like she's gotten a few too many whiffs of Joker-Gas.  Should she be able to smile like that?

• So... Harley's new costume, which I expect was inspired to keep up with the Arkham games, features Superboy's cape; a really long piece of dental floss (she's gripping it between her teeth--as decoration? a weapon?); and a belt with numerous suppositories. Also, she sort of looks like she's been Eclipso'd. Downsides to this are...?

• How exactly is Harley Quinn's outfit more news-worthy then Superman's new outfit?

• Part of what always made Harley so alluring was that she looked so cute and innocent. Yeah she was designed to be "sexy" with the skin-tight suit and supple frame, but it was nothing that said "sexy bad-ass" so much as "hyperactive flirtatious screwball". She's this ultimate tease character in that she looks cute, talks cute, and acts cute; until you get close enough for her bring out the sledgehammer while The Joker looks on with sadistic glee. But if you were a resident of the DC Universe and you saw this new costume, you'd just think "oh, another crazy supervillain chick, better get out of here before everything blows up"; the whole effect is lost. 

• I did in fact notice the cape, yep. Drat, you beat me to it...

• "Oy vey!" {shudder} "It'd be a shame to get blood on my nice new outfit!" (Which I expect explains much of this, come to think of it...)

• Coming from the new Flashpoint DC Infinite Reboot this summer: Harleen Quinn, Publicity Whore!

• Or, considering who's being shoved, like shoving spaceballs into... AAGHH!!! {brainbleach}

• Okay...longtime DC fanboy rant here. WTF is up with DC? I feel that,with the exception of a few writers,that DC has been declining in quality for a few years now. This all started when all the real editors left and the writers were allowed to write whatever the hell they felt like without regards to the rest of the line...I love some of the work that Geoff Johns and Grant Morrison have done,but those two writers SHOULD NOT be in charge of the whole of DC Comics. Nobody is running the ship anymore,and chaos is the result. How many reboots/crisis' have they had in the last few years? Its getting old DC,and until the powers that be either LEAVE or figure out that what they need are better writers/artists/and editors and not gimmicks,I cant continue to support this kind of crap. Make Mine....Dark Horse?(I guess,as long as THE GOON doesnt start to suck/reboot.)

• You see, when you look at Harley, half of you is supposed to say 'Holy shit, she is crazy and gonna kill me', while the other half is supposed to go 'But gods dammit she is incredibly hot'.  With this new design, all of me is going 'Who is fucking whore and who is she kidding?'

• So not only is Secret Six cancelled, with Scandal, Jeanette, Ragdoll, and naked Catman MIA, but they also destroy Harley Quinn. Harley's supposed to be crazy, yeah, but she's also supposed to be smart - she was a psychiatrist after all. Naked Catman is naked because that makes sense. But Harley in a bustier? There's no way a smart woman would parade around in that outfit, trying to survive. Also, yeah, way too many weapons on one human being. Also, King Shark is now a hammerhead? My thought is...why? These eyes look strange and will probably be very hard to draw. Sigh. DC, I'm very annoyed. You've taken away my favorite books and traded them in for 90's nostalgia. Do you not remember that the 90's sucked? I was ten, and I even knew they sucked. More thoughts on the blog: http://www.pfspublishing.com/workshop

• Is Harley supposed to be packing D cups? I thought she was fairly small. Also, aside from being offensively sexy, that costume doesn't look like anything to me. Are all super heroes and villains throwing out their motifs and grabbing red and black leather? Are we still not over the leather on super heroes thing? Really?

• Oh, she was always sexualized, make no mistake.  The problem now is she is less the subtle sexyness that is a skin tight body suit and more 'Look Mom!  No Clothes!'

• GODDAMMIT WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO HARLEY?! what...but...why...who... WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?

• Amen, Brother!

• I am by no means a comic fan, but I am a very sexy costume fan and this is a horrible tragedy.
