2020 is FINALLY behind us, which means many of our favorites have taken to social media to say good-bye to the terrible year and hello to 2021. One such person is James Gunn, who is best known for directing Guardians of the Galaxy. However, Gunn recently made the switch to DC, helming The Suicide Squad, which will be released in theatres and on HBO Max later this year. Gunn paid tribute to The Suicide Squad's most famous character, Harley Quinn, in honor of the new year.
"Happy New Year everyone. I know this past year has been tough for nearly everyone. Few would accuse me of being an optimist, but I believe this new year will be better than last. Much love to you all. ❤️ Art by @amandaconnerart," Gunn wrote. The art features Harley Quinn with Father Time and Baby New Year. You can check out the art in the post below:

"I realize some of you out there are alone for the holidays, many due to the pandemic. You are not forgotten, and this will get better. My heart is with each of you. I hope for all of us this is as Merry of a Christmas as it can possibly be," Gunn wrote.
