I guess they want a...I can understand that, James. I guess they want a happy ending for her! But she is kind of a tragic character, so it doesn't quite fit.<br /><br />The knives!! I didn't even notice! Yes, that is just...it doesn't fit with her. Good point, Bubbashelby. And no mask! The mask is such an iconic part of her look.<br /><br />I didn't even notice Shark back there, either.<br /><br />Quite right, Erin. I really hate the new Booster outfit. It's just so....busy. It was so sleek before.<br /><br />Aaron, she definitely doesn't look fun at all anymore. She was whimsical and cute and nutty...she wasn't supposed to be a badass. I thought that we were past the 90's but I guess not?<br /><br />Eyz, I think you're right about the Arkham Asylum thing...it's seeped into the comics. And are fans of that game buying a ton of comics? Probably not.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568009540291131956.post-8151727475514512342011-06-29T00:22:37.983-07:002011-06-29T00:22:37.983-07:00I'm really starting to disliked Arkham Asylum....I'm really starting to disliked Arkham Asylum...because let's be honest, they're bringing in the slutty Harley from those games to bring in those nerds who loved that game's design....<br />And I'm pretty sure they won't even buy/follow comics at the end of the day..Eyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350758607787528425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568009540291131956.post-78470723069271032252011-06-28T07:46:24.055-07:002011-06-28T07:46:24.055-07:00Another railroad spike-size nail the coffin of the...Another railroad spike-size nail the coffin of the concept of comics being more mature, unless I was extremely mature when I was 15. Harley was a fun and creative character, has she now been officially "badassized"?

Something quite a few of the redesigns did was take away from either who the character is or what is recognizable about their costumes. I remember the words of a comic artist that said "if it's not broke don't fix it. Something a lot of artists should learn."Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15663158782066282265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568009540291131956.post-67844210362763188152011-06-27T11:57:41.978-07:002011-06-27T11:57:41.978-07:00There is absolutely nothing on this cover that is ...There is absolutely nothing on this cover that is pleasing. They've made the Shark look like a dinosaur, and they're messing with Deadshot too. <br /><br />Gah!<br /><br />Poor Harley. She looks demented, and not in her normal sort of way. She had a really rather perfect costume before, and now...this mess?<br /><br />Double gah!SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568009540291131956.post-25982620573623824072011-06-27T10:24:49.289-07:002011-06-27T10:24:49.289-07:00The more I see this outfit the more I am bothered ...The more I see this outfit the more I am bothered by one other thing - what's with all the knives? Since when was Harley a slasher?<br /><br />Ok, maybe, MAYBE I get where they are going with the knife thrower/circus act connection, but that doesn't have a damn thing to do with Harley Quinn!<br /><br />I get that the Joker uses knives, because they are scary. But Harley isn't trying to scare anyone ever. And knives just aren't funny.<br /><br />I can accept all of it as typical comic book propoganda/'progress' except the knives. Oh, and the lack of a domino mask.Bubbashelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304403353153855498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568009540291131956.post-30070867258271547412011-06-27T10:07:13.907-07:002011-06-27T10:07:13.907-07:00I agree to an extent that the Joker should always ...I agree to an extent that the Joker should always at least be a shadow over Harley (I love the Karl Kesel run of Harley Quinn too much to say they should always be a double act). <br /><br />I think the reason writers and fans want to divorce the two is because Harley is so damn loveable people want her to have a happy ending, ditch the abusive boyfriend and flat-share with her girlfriends. Unfortunately, it does rather rob her of some of her essential self to do it.James Ashelfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921809149099140714noreply@blogger.com
