Voice Actress Tara Strong Rocks The Arkham Knight Harley Quinn Cosplay At SDCC

Tara Strong, the popular voice actress known for playing Harley Quinn in the later Arkham games, Injustice: Gods Among Us and Lego Dimensions as well as playing Batgirl in Batman: The Animated Series and Batman: The Killing Joke, decided to hit the convention yesterday cosplaying as Harley from Arkham Knight.

This is amazing

Much better then the one in the upcoming film...THIS is Harley Quinn, she could have provided the voice and she actually looks the part.

Why didn't they use that kind of design in the film instead of the Las Vegas pole dancer look.

[OldGuyStillGaming]

Absolutely nothing wrong with vegas pole dancers look

[Nitrowolf2]

Only there's really nothing wrong with the one in suicide squad.

[-Foxtrot]

There kind it is

It's now how "hot" she looks over anything else and that's not what Harley as a character is about. She has sex appeal but it was never full on in your face, it was her actions and what she was like as a psychotic character

She looks like a new Vegas stripper/pole dancer and the Joker looks like a Marilyn Manson pimp.

[Nitrowolf2]

@fox

And this costume doesn't do the same? You know the whole "sexy nurse look" cause that's how the costume originated to a degree. She even wore a nurse hat that had to plus replaced with an H.

It's funny you say it was never full in your face, yet this costume is arguably the one that put more sexualization on her. It was always light with the jester costume, though that's very debatable to (pudding scene in the animated series, and all her rubbing against batman)

Its funny you say that this costume is the harley quinn when the majority of people grew up with the classic jester one.

Joker looks fine to, very close to his End game joker

[BlackTar187]

Yea I'm not sure your point fox this Harley is highly sexualized

[overrated44]

Nitro has gone and made a good point...so we'll never hear from Fox in this discussion again.

[Lighter9]

Idk why they never got Mark Hamill to play the Joker in a movie.

[Nitrowolf2]

Same, I always thought he could pull it off, but I'm glad he played trap master in the 1st generation of flash, and then played him in the new one, which was extremely joker like

[Scatpants]

Because he has the voice, but the wrong look.

[TheCommentator]

@scatpants

I heard the same thing both when Jack Nicholson and Heath Leddger were cast, so I'm not sure about that.

[gangsta_red]

Because Mark Hamill is a terrible actor.

[Deadpooled]

@gangsta_red

No, just no. A lead role in one of the greatest movie trilogies of all time, the trilogy with so much influence among the movie industry and changed the science fiction genre forever.

[gangsta_red]

@Deadpooled

And you truly believe Mark Hamill had anything to do with that?

If that were true then what iconic movies and great acting jobs has he had or been in since?

[rainslacker]

Because he didn't have the star power to really get people to go see him. He's famous, but not in the same league in terms of box office draw as Nicholson. Ledger had his own draw, and not as much as Nicholson, but still more than Hammil has really gotten in a long time.

Unfortunately, people just see him as Luke Skywalker. He's a good actor, and a phenomenal voice actor, and the part of the Joker isn't really about the looks, rather the personality. Nicholson, Ledger, and even Ceasar Romero back in the old series, all had different looks, but brought different aspects to the forefront. There is no reason that Hammil couldn't pull it off IMO, but he may be getting a bit too old now to play a younger character like that.

OTOH, given that comic book fans also tend to be Star Wars fans, it's likely they wouldn't mind him playing the part, since I've never heard anyone criticize his voice performance in the part.

@gangsta

I believe Lucas is terrible at directing good actors. Hammil is a good actor. Not the greatest, although arguably he is one of the better voice actors out there, but one would be hard pressed to see his acting ability in anything that Lucas directed. I mean, Lucas had some of the best actors in Hollywood give some of their most wooden and worst performances in their careers in the prequels...if that puts things in perspective. Even Harrison Ford and Carrie Fischer had weak performances in the original series compared to their other work, despite Ford being the best part of the original films.

For the time Star Wars originally released though, Hammil's performance was in no way bad, and was not uncommon form for the day.

[LOOK_AT_THIS_I]

@gangsta red

He had an award winning role in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back as Cockknocker. Lol

He also does the voice of skips on the Regular Show. (I had no clue of this). Outstanding voice actor but fill in his film role with anyone else and you get the same performance.

[Bobafret]

I am so thankful you and your ilk aren't in charge of casting movies.

[jcnba28]

Are you for real? This cos player has half her chest out yet you're saying the Suicide Squad version is the one that looks like a stripper? Right...

[senorfartcushion]

Wouldn't bother, she is aimed at teenage boys. Yes, she is overlysexualised in the new film but in terms of how she is as a female character in general: Harley has always been awful; she is a rape victim who has falled for her captor.

Teenage biys are downvoting you and telling you that you are wrong and there are far too many for you to deal with, ignore it.

[InTheLab]

Umm... she's not THE voice. Arlene Sorkin will always be Harley.

Now Tara does look amazing. Especially considering she's in her she's 43. But Margo is a different Harley and that's fine. One has her boobs out and the other is wearing tiny shorts....whatever... it all works

[PaleMoonDeath]

She looks great in Suicide Squad, you're not one of "those" people are you? :/

[NovusTerminus]

All they really changed was they removed the thigh high boots. Truthfully while she shows her legs more, she has less of her chest exposed in the movie.

[ApolloTheBoss]

Am I the only one who thought the girl who played Harley in the first Arkham sounded waaayy better?

[FalconR289]

That's because the voice actress from the first Arkham was the Original Harley Quinn's voice.

[KiwiViper85]

What kind of strip clubs do you hang around?

[quent]

Looking good, equally talented and beautiful voice actor

Sorry for the multiposting, phones sh!t.

[ZaWarudo]

She's 43. My god she looks fine as hell.

[Chaos_Order]

43!? Wow...

[Relientk77]

Whaaaa damn she looks good for 43

[Chaos_Raiden]

I envy her husband for marrying such a beautiful and talented woman.

[TheColbertinator]

Met her once at a con. She is awesome

[opinionated]

👌 approved.

[SirBradders]

Too clean imo.

[2pacalypsenow]

damn

[SarcasticDuck]

wow but at the same time it's sad the "real Harley" is aging. She, alongside Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy should never age like their counterparts on the comics!

[Sparta07]

Omg! My dream girl.

[thelaughingwiseman]

She's hot. I would not have mind seeing her in the BTAS Harley Quinn suite though :D

[scark92]

Her in a movie with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill! Damn!

[PaleMoonDeath]

Offt, I'd let her hurt me,

[babadivad]

Nailed it.

[Fist4achin]

She looks good, but no one should underestimate Margot Robie...

[MrsNesbitt]

On point!

[SaveFerris]

Awesome cosplay and talented VA.
