Suicide Squad Madness

I'm in a totally Harley Quinn mood right now - I just finished framing all of my photos and unique artwork of her. That's not too bad, considering my hectic schedule of.... of..... huh. I'll get back to you on that.
Anyway, I won't get the next Arkham City until tomorrow, Sirens won't be out for a bit and I've just read Batman: Streets of Gotham/House of Hush (.. boy, try saying that a few times fast) which featured a few references to Harley, namely her hair colour.

Oh, I enjoyed the Jenny Duffy story a lot but for someone who has the appearance of awesomeness, she sure rags on Harley a lot. I mean, really? You're an Alice in Wonderland knock off, dearie. This graphic novel is still in the Gotham City Sirens time frame because Selina is having sleeping troubles. Namely when Harley Quinn tries to kill her. Turns out she's sleepwalking. Kind of. Bedbugs!!

Ick! 'Don't blame my kitties!' Selina mews. 'It's probably her hyenas!'
I'm sure her hyenas ate the damn cats like they did the dogs. Typical cat people and their weird priorities. Not the hyenas? Try a new villain named Bedbug! .....Eew... Still, could have taken a leaf out of Bat-mite's book name-wise. Be grateful.
I just love how they go on about Harley being under the bedbug.. um, bug.. when it really does sound like something she would randomly do. The best bit is probably the Harley Quinn Jammies. So cute!
So until I get something else to do, I'm going to talk about Harley outfits. Like, the Suicide Squad one. I have seen some new picture thingies.

Wow. So, King Shark has doe eyes (I am not foreseeing myself getting used to the hammerhead.. head), Harley Quinn is about to lose her water balloons (but she's still chirpy) and as for Deadshot..
Why did they have to change his awesome outfit? Here he just looks like he's trying to be too many things at once. Like, a mummy, a Terminator, a character from one of my brother's many games...








The stance he has there, armed with the armoured cod piece just reminds me of Murdoch from the Gorillaz.



Rock the House, Deadshot. Rock the House.

The next Squad snap is a black and white sketch, showing a few more members. Wait, am I seeing things or is that two Deadshots?



Harley has a great look here, very relaxed yet threatening with a bit of swagger thrown in.
I can't help but be reminded of Freefall from Gen13
or Rogue from X-men.

I sure seem to have a thing for two-toned, misunderstood comic characters.
