Harley Quinn Suits Up In Her Own Version of Batgirl's Costume

By Timothy Adams

Harley Quinn already has an iconic look, but now she's adopting attire from a member of the Batman Family. Along with starring in her own solo DC series and the adult-animated HBO Max series, Harley Quinn also has a DC miniseries based in the same universe as the cartoon. Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: Legion of Bats! takes place after the recently-concluded third season, which is already renewed for Season 4. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, aka #HarlIvy, have gone their separate ways, with Ivy starting her own "Ladies of Doom" while Harley officially joins the Bat-Family. Part of her initiation involves donning her very own Batgirl costume.

Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: Legion of Bats! comes from the creative team of Tee Franklin, artist Jon Mikel, colorist Andrew Dalhouse, and letterer Taylor Esposito. Season 3 of Harley Quinn saw Joker named the new Mayor of Gotham City. Of course, Joker's made some enemies during his time as the Clown Prince of Crime, including Black Mask. The villain has a bomb strapped to Joker's chest, and the Bat-Family swoops into city hall for a rescue mission. Nightwing, Batgirl, and Robin are joined by Harley Quinn, who is wearing her homemade Batgirl-esque costume, featuring a shower curtain and Catwoman's catsuit. "My suit is a work in progress, Project Runway Judges, sheesh!" Harley Quinn quips.
