Harley Quinn Costume

Harley Quinn Costume

It would not be far-fetched to describe Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie, as the “queen of craze.” She’s a fan favorite because of her psychotic characteristics. Harley Quinn is an ex-psychiatrist. Ironic, right? She is quite funny and laughs hysterically, especially when forming an evil plan. Harley’s most striking features are her hot skirt paired with a duo-colored satin jacket and pig-tailed hair. Her release from prison was quite dramatic since she had to knock herself out before the corrections officers would take her out of her cell. She is the Suicide Squad’s most scheming member, and of course, she has a special relationship with The Joker.

Deadshot Costume

Deadshot Costume

Deadshot, played by Will Smith, is a professional assassin who carries out his assigned tasks to the letter. With money from a client, he’ll eliminate someone without minding any of the consequences. Behind all of the terror is the undying love for his daughter. His sole reason for joining the Suicide Squad is his desire to die. He feels there is nothing else in life to live for. However, he does not want to end his life himself. Deadshot is most recognizable when in costume—a red-colored tactical shirt and a black jacket laced with weapons. He also wears a white mask sometimes, but his Deadshot monocle doesn’t go unnoticed.

About Suicide Squad

A top U.S. Intelligence Officer, Amanda Wallis, views a group of incarcerated supervillains having no significance in prison. Therefore, she works to assemble the criminals for a classified mission in exchange for reduced sentences. The easy part was providing the supervillains with top, military-grade weapons. The harder part was convincing the newly formed group, Task Force X, to tolerate each other and work together.

The criminals are tasked with battling against a strange and powerful foe. At the same time, The Joker devises a sinister plan of his own, which he plans to execute with his longtime sweetheart, Harley Quinn. The much-anticipated film was released in 2016 as the third movie in the DC Extended Universe and proved to be a box office success.
