Comic art veteran Riley Rossmo imagines what Harley Quinn would look like if the famed villainous clown were to don the heroic mantle of Batgirl.
Veteran comic book artist Riley Rossmo imagines what the villainous Harley Quinn would look like if she donned the uniform of the heroic Batgirl.
The artist posted the new piece of art to Twitter with the description “just messing around.” The new costume includes a Bat-symbol transformed into a smiley face and a cowl that is fused with a classic jester hat. One of Harley’s most iconic weapons, a baseball bat, can be seen dangling from her utility belt.
Rossmo is a graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design and has worked on several well-known comic book series from Image Comics, Marvel and DC. Some of the most recognizable titles include Cowboy Ninja Viking, Green Wake, Daken: Dark Wolverine, Constantine: The Hellblazer, Young Justice and, of course, Harley Quinn.
Unlike most comic book characters, Harley Quinn didn’t make her debut on the page; instead, she first appeared in the classic cartoon, Batman: The Animated Series. Since then, she has become one of DC’s most loved and profitable characters, often rivaling the popularity of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. As such, she is often the focus of fan-made content; beyond Rossmo’s reimagining, a recent holiday-themed cosplay sees Harley locking lips with fellow Batman rogue Poison Ivy.
The character also prominently features in DC’s official content beyond just the comics. Harley has been seen in several entries of the DC Extended Universe. Played by actor Margot Robbie, she first appeared in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. While it did not perform well with critics, Harley was often described as a highlight of the movie. The character went on to star in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad and in her own film, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), which both received positive critical responses.
Harley has also featured heavily in the promotional material for the highly anticipated Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. As the name states, in this new game, players will control members of the antihero team and attempt to eliminate a brainwashed Justice League. While the game was scheduled for a release this year, it has been delayed until 2023 due to production issues.
Moreover, the newest poster for MultiVerse, which is Warner Bros.’s upcoming crossover fighting game, sees Harley pulling off an unconventional high-five with the beloved cartoon duo of Tom and Jerry. The game is expected to release sometime this year and will be available for free on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
