Harley Quinn Cosplay Guide
Harley Quinn is the Joker’s Right-Hand Woman. A deadly combination of intelligence, beauty, athleticism, and psychosis, Harley has been devoed to the Joker -her “puddin”- since the early ’90s. Since her inception, she has become one of the most popular of Batman‘s extensive gallery of rogues, and is even the title character in her OWN comic! If you’re thinking of dressing as Harley this Halloween, here is some helpful character background, costume options, and a DIY Hammer tutorial!

Where did she come from?
Like so many of the comic book characters in the DC universe, Harley has multiple origin stories. Unlike many characters, however, her first appearance was not in the pages of a comic book. Quinn first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series, as a way to add some variety to the Joker’s frequent apperances. She was meant to be the animated version of a walk-on role, but was so popular with fans that she eventually became a regular facet in the series. Her popularity contiuned to grow to the point that she was eventually written into the comic book universe, and since then she has added live-action shows and video games to her repoitoire.

Where did her name come from?
Quinn’s origin begins with the story of Dr. Harleen Quinzel, a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum responsible for treating The Joker. Eventually, she fell in love with him and helped him escape the asylum! The Joker then dubbed her Harley Quinn, and the rest as they say, is history.
Harley’s look has had many variations over the years, so there are lots of costume options.

Just putting up the black plastic on each side of the hallway would have taken me three days. Still amazed my friend pulled this off in such a short time.
