Harley Quinn
Undisputedly, the star of Batman: Arkham Knight‘s Harley Quinn DLC was none other than the famous female jester herself, Harley Quinn. While the DLC itself was criticized by many fans for being too brief and lacking enough depth to truly immerse oneself into the experience, the character of Harley Quinn is still a fan favorite. Of course, Harley Quinn is famous for being the Joker’s romantic counterpart and partner in crime, but that doesn’t mean she’s a sidekick to be underestimated.
Although Harley Quinn performs the role of the flirtatious ditz, we must not forget that underneath the makeup, she is still Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel. Above, this cosplayer perfectly replicates Harley Quinn’s costume as well as the dangerously playful look in her eyes that masks the complex and intelligent mind of the badass Dr. Quinzel.
The Joker
Without giving away any major spoilers, most fans have come to realize that between all of the Batman: Arkham Knight DLCs, hallucinations, and flashback scenes, the Joker makes an appearance within the game. The most famous Joker performance of all-time is probably that of Batman: The Dark Knight’s Heath Ledger, whose Joker character journal was recently revealed in a documentary.
While Ledger’s rendition of the Joker is an undeniably hard act to follow, the cosplayer above has done a fascinating job of re-creating the iconic Joker costume. The clothes are great but what’s most impressive is the look on this man’s face. Beneath his perfectly combed hair, this man bears the Joker’s characteristic dark smile and menacing eyes with violent intentions.
