>According to the survey, Batman characters (including the Caped Crusader, Harley Quinn and the Joker) were the most popular costume among adults this year, thanks to popularity of movies like Batman v. Superman and Suicide Squad.
>Halloween stores are already seeing an uptick in superhero costume sales over last year. “There’s definitely been an increase in superhero costumes in general,” says Riley Walsh, a sales associate at New York Costumers in New York City’s East Village neighborhood. “The thing that’s making it go up for women is Harley Quinn. At least once a day we’re selling Harley Quinn costumes, and it’s not even October yet.”
>Other costume purveyors say they cannot keep up with the demand for Harley Quinn’s iconic pigtails and mallet. “Harley Quinn is in such big demand, they can’t make enough,” says Ursula Boschet, owner of Ursula’s Costumes in Santa Monica, California.
>Most Harley Quinn costumer buyers are adult women—Suicide Squad was rated PG-13, and Harley Quinn has a not-so-PG backstory—though some young girls are seeking out extra-small sizes in the adult outfit.
I love how sites like AV Club were basically begging people not to watch DC movies because they say it's racist and misogynist yet minorities and women really turned out for both BvS and SS. True empowerment is being able to do what you want, where you want and when you want. Women like dressing sexy if they like and having fun, which is why Harley is popular with them and why Wonder Woman is an icon despite wearing basically a one piece swimsuit. Women don't want to be told to cover up and look like a butch dyke.
Nathaniel Morales
So, walking half naked in the streets makes women feel empowered? What a sick mentality.
Chase Gutierrez
Yeah women are retarded. What did you expect?
The worst part is men being cucks by letting their mates wear such stuff.
Being a slave to vice isn't real freedom.
Adrian White
Damn the patriarchy for making women but things
Eli Reed
It's hilarious that slut shaming and cries of misogyny comes primarily from men like you.
Jonathan Morris
Guy wanna fuck her
Woman wanna be her since they all have that childish bitch in them.
Its not that hard to understand.
Jacob Ward
Come October 31st, we will be awash in a sea of slutty clown girls.
Ryan Wood
Some people deserve to be shamed. That's the whole point of shaming.
William Torres
I'm actually a woman who feels sorry for girls like you who think that exposing your body will make you empowered and thing anyone who dares to criticize women's behaviors is misogynist.
Jacob Rogers
Where do I get one of these?

Its almost like more women wear Halloween costumes then men
Carson Cruz
not sure if your being sarcastic or not
Josiah Watson
So is it safe to say Harley Quinn is now bigger than Disney Princesses

only on Halloween where its okay to dress like a slag whore for one night

Colton Roberts
Calling little kids whores because they like a character man Cred Forums has gotten dumb pro tip Harley wouldn't be the number 1 costume choice if only adult women wanted to wear her costume.
Little kids are pushing this since you know they are the main demo who go out on Halloween
Brayden Johnson
>So, walking half naked in the streets makes women feel empowered?
Doing what they want to do make anyone feel empowered.
Jose Morgan
Thanks. I'll watch that someday.
Alexander Evans
I'm impressed she's been this popular for the last 6 years People have sustained interest in clown girl
Next we'll have the group costumes like gang of harleys
William Reyes
don't you know Cred Forums HATES Harley Quinn probably the most hated female character on this board over captain marvel
Christian Richardson
Come back to me, when its the Jester outfit and not the Juggalo one.
Colton Nguyen
Which is funny since Cred Forums used to love it at least like Harley
Grayson Reed
I know, I used to troll Cred Forums by calling them butthurt waypoolfags.

This is great.. I will be able to spot the ones that I can approach that much easier. I know which girls I'll be talking to
Nathaniel Mitchell
Not really, she was always a crap character.
Aiden Cox
We are approaching full Harley saturation Soon she'll surpass Batman
James Diaz
My grill is going as Harley too, the jacket and the shorts are on the mail.
I'm going as one of the Village people. Grupal costumes can be fun, but only with other men.
Jace Flores
Don't give me that, Cred Forums used to have threads where one could discuss Harley in-depth, it wasn't until her solo came out that Cred Forums started hating on the character
Christopher Turner
I agree. She should be stoned to death for walking around without her burqa in the name of Allah and Anita Sarkeesian.
It's the Liberal way.
*wink*
Landon Young
>Calling little kids whores because they like a character More like because they act like whores.
Camden Morgan
Those shoes are rad.
Austin Peterson
Empowerment is an excuse to act like a whore or a piece of shit. People's don't even dare to assume how shitty they are.
>I'm not a whore who loves to fuck every man I meet, I'm just empowered.
Not especially criticizing the costumes, just the whole movement plaguing this world. Nowadays it's cool to blame men for everything, but as least most pieces of shit know that they are pieces of shit.
A bitchy whore doesn't even begin to think that she may be a whore.
Easton Russell

Is this an all time low for DC?
Aiden Lee
You AND your girl are both the fags here. I would never parade my man around like mr slave.
Dylan Diaz
lol
Yeah let your gf dress like a whore. And I should be envying you? Funny beta cuck.
Owen Jackson
I am of the though line that without Harley selling like today we wouldn't have books like Midnighter, The whole HB line, Omega Men, etc. I don't know if I'm wrong but that's what I think
Juan Stewart
>in assless chaps then?
Actually i kinda want to do the assless thing, after watching pic related. But i don't know if the never nude thing it's too obscure for the people in the party.
Lincoln Barnes
Don't ask me, I have a bad habit of donning myself obscure costumes.
Hunter Gutierrez
Thank god, I'm going as the Joker.

Not them but I don't think showing off is inherently bad. But Harley's character is shit in so many other ways. Don't tell me you wouldn't feel the same way about going to a Halloween party and seeing 10 Deadpools.
Eli Anderson
t. cucks
Angel Watson
>Exposing your body
Are you retarded? Had you ever been to the beach? You are probably a fat cow.

Isaac Davis
Two years in a row?
Brandon Smith
>But Harley's character is shit in so many other ways.
Good thing they think the character is fun and would make a nice costume, instead of writing essays about her or defending the validity of the character.
Pro Tip: people that dress as Zombies don't think the zombie has a nice backstory. And people that dress as a generic vampire didnt read Dracula either.
Gavin Bell
>calling someone a virgin when they don't agree with your morals or aesthetics how does it feel to bleed once a month for no reason?
Ayden Collins
You are telling me that women actually like dressing like fun slutty characters? WHAT A SURPRISE.
Gabriel Flores
Yes, it was the number one last year. (DC also destroyed Marvel last year),
>Not them but I don't think showing off is inherently bad. But Harley's character is shit in so many other ways. Don't tell me you wouldn't feel the same way about going to a Halloween party and seeing 10 Deadpools.
Halloween costumes are not COSPLAYING, the value of the character is irrelevant, it's all about how fun the costume is, how cheap you can make it/buy it and how it looks.
Jordan Robinson
>Yoga pants are no different than Harley's costume
>implying those are good either
Brody Morgan
all dem fishnets stockings MUH DICK
Gavin Clark
Muslims are in fact the true feminists. And here's a huffingtonpost article explaining why.
They *can* be at least light cosplaying if you're not a fucking normie.
Jordan Foster
I'll believe it when they start kicking their husbands in the cocks for minor shit like being financially irresponsible.
Landon Morales

The only way you'll be able to hurt them is if you don't have enough other wives to hold you down before you get sent to the islamic B.E.T.A. gulag
Ethan Evans
beta cucks that provide the beta bucks
Yeah I'm sure letting your girlfriend wear whatever she wants when she "goes out" to "party with friends" is a great idea.
Robert Cooper
Stop repressing your sisters and start suppressing your appetite, seacow.
Joseph Wright
She is partying with me you dumbass, i'm not willing to dress as the joker, I wasnt last year either when she wanted us to go as harley and the joker but ended going as Daria and i went as alan grant while my friends were Malcom, a raptor, Hammond, Muldoon, and Mr DNA,
I know this is a stretch for kissless virgins, but in the real world people go out.
Christopher Nelson
Just because your mom does everything you scream at her to do doesn't mean you have some magical control over women
Adam Walker
>Girls want to be Harley Quinn >No one want to be a Ghostbuster Nu-males on suicide watch
Jose Sullivan
What the fuck are you even going to the same party together for if you'd let her dress as Harley and you're not the Joker? That's like pic related except she's dumb enough to have no problem with it.
Levi Powell
>She is partying with me you dumbass, i'm not willing to dress as the joker Shit boyfriend.
Ayden Martinez
Girls ideas for costumes are boring, but bros ideas are usually fun. We did went as Lana (she on blackface) and Archer 2 years ago.
Ethan Richardson
everyone loves clown whores
Brandon Martinez
>until nu52 FTFY
Andrew Reyes
>that Cred Forums started hating on the character
It was like 3 autists.
Aside from hating how popular is among normies, it's just 3 or 4 guys that think Harley is feminist symbol that were extremely rectionary at what some lesbian in tmblr posted.
James Walker

Jaxson Smith
Do parents actually allow their little kids to see Suicide Squad?

Pssh that's got nothing on real life.
Pic related. These female Leather face, Jason Vorhees, and Michael Myers outfits.
Lincoln Jenkins

Asher Thompson
I saw Robocop when I was like 6 or 7, so yes, they do.
Connor Wilson
I don't see why not. It was pretty tame overall.
Thomas Ortiz
>dressing as a cannibalistic retarded redneck >dressing as a mentally challenged momma's boy Why? Michael is the only cool choice out of all of those.
Josiah Garcia
what are you talking about, all I see is sexy chainsaw girl, sexy hockey slasher and sexy mechanic
Xavier Nguyen
As a woman, halloween is a little weird. You're either "sexy gorilla" (aka sexy harambe which is definitely the best costume I've seen this season) or you're a sexier version of a character from TV. Or, you're actually a thing you want to be and people are confused by it. Harley's great because you can dress slutty while still being a very recognizable thing.
Adrian Perez
Because leatherface and Jason are tougher than Michael. Well ... Jason is probably, but it is all very debatable.
Levi White
>As a woman are you young or sexy, if not no one really cares what you wear
Levi Butler
>Harley's great because you can dress slutty while still being a very recognizable thing.
So the reason is: It's a fun costume.
Why Cred Forums has such a hard time with the concept of doing something fun on public?
Adrian Barnes
Oh yeah, obviously. But being sexy pizza feels pretty stupid in comparison to something where you get to carry around a baseball bat and say quotable lines from a movie trailer that most people saw.
Nathaniel Young
I give you Jason, but Bubba is pretty low-tier. Michael can take ridiculous amounts of punishment and in one of continuities slaughtered an entire police station. Leatherface is just a very strong ordinary human who, by slasher movie standards, is pretty tame power-level wise.
Colton Reyes
because we/re Cred Forums (contrarian losers). but even more uptight (tumblr/pol)
Asher Miller
Exactly!
Halloweens the best because you get to dress up in ridiculous outfits, and that includes looking super slutty if you want it to. Or you can dress like a cake. Or Freddy Kruger.
William Bennett
Depends on pre or post Resurrection by lightning jason.
Pre-ressurection is a tough but normal guy, but since he could also survive gunshots it would be about the same as Micheal, but he has more physical strength with less stealth abilities.
Zombie-Jason is downright unkillable.
Liam Parker
you can be the fat funny gal or the sexy, be sexy while you still can, you'll have the rest of yer life to be frumpy as you want
Jaxon Mitchell
It's not Cred Forums (well not part of it) it just /r9k/ and/or Cred Forums that can't stand the idea of people having fun because they can't
Ian Roberts
What about Uber Jason? Jason X is so retarded I can't find it in my heart to hate it. It's Leprechaun-tier.
James Martin
>a girl says she has trouble with sexy costumes and finds it "problematic" blame "/r9k/ and/or Cred Forums"
>Too many Muslim permavirgins in this board. Fixed.
Hunter Thomas
no one's having a hard time with anything people are just pointing out what exactly about wearing the costume is fun
Carson Jenkins
I'm going as Squad Harley
Because I'm a fag though and think it'll be fun
Aiden Adams
>no one's having a hard time with anything Except the tumblrinas and yihadists screaming WHOOOORE in this thread.
Oliver Perry

Joshua Cox
>whore [hawr, hohr or, often, hoo r] noun 1. >a woman who engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse, usually for money; prostitute; harlot; strumpet.
By definition you're wrong. She's doing it because (again) it's fun. She isn't making a statement, she isn't fighting nobody and nothing, simply for fun. Stop being a stuck up asshole
Colton Sanders
das a slut, m8, whores get paid
Ryan Thompson
>for fun Yes. Fun coming from attention-whoring.
Or for playing-pretend Harley. Who's nu52 version is an attentionwhore, just kuhrazzee too.
So yeah, a whore.
Josiah Richardson
she's just being true to the chara then
Dominic Russell
What's the problem? It's because she might get laid and you don't? I really don't see the problem
>attention whoring
I don't get that part, if there are 100 Harleys how can she attention whore? If anything shell be one more of the pile
Levi Gutierrez

Lucas Evans

Luke Reyes

Jaxson Jones
Harley works fine on her own, at least better than Luigi on his own. She's so popular on her own that it's not really necessary to have a Joker. Also it's pretty damn hard for a guy to do a Leto Joker costume that doesn't look like shit. Between the white body paint, fake tattoos, haircut, lack of eyebrows, and grill something is going to get fucked up.
Julian Hughes
You're right, I'm going as a fat chick Pennywise just to spite the harleys.
Liam Ortiz
Then why so many outrage? I really don't get it, most of them (if not all of them) are going to throw away the outfit once Halloween is over and forget about it
Jackson Nguyen
Just paint white over the eyebrows. Melt down cake silver toppings and dip fake teeth into it.
Sebastian Morales
Dunno, it wasn't me that was outraged. I said it's fine.
Gabriel Baker
I was referring in a more general way, like the whole thread is outrage like these people are going to stand outside the White House clamoring for change and shit instead of going to a party and get high and/or drunk as fuck and have fun
A few years back I was Captain Boomerang(it was a superhero/villain party) and I went to a party where a girl was Harley. I said to her, "Hey, we're both part of the Suicide Squad."
Bitch had no idea what I was talking about.
Luis Roberts
Always.
HAHAHA Man that is hilarious. Expected, of course, but still funny. Did anyone there actually know?
Connor Smith
Most of the guys knew. They loved it. I later learned the Harley was a girlfriend of one of the guys. So she probably isn't into comics that much.
Julian Nguyen
I hope some girls dress as this Harley Quinn for Halloween . It's a good outfit for Harley .
Juan Phillips
Only the nervous girlfriends who open up about showing off skin and their sexuality after you break up with them for being such a fucking prude.

Seriously. I could get a group chat or something going and we could have a big long Mel Brooks marathon and have stupid internet arguments about the difference between British and Jewish humor and end up personally offended. I need something all energetic like. I'm bored. This earth is boring. Someone do stuff with me. I got here by googling my name so you guys must be my people.
Asher Roberts
idk man, at the gym the most Cred Forums related shirts I see are Deadpool and Punisher (with Red Ranger as a close third from some reason) and I'm perfectly okay with it. I don't get mad at people for liking things I don't like.
Jose Johnson
Deadpool's hot stuff, though. I bet Harley would leave the Joker in a New York Minute if she met Freddy Krueger Got Fingered
Julian Brooks
Because not everyone uses their costume as wish-fulfillment
