I am just going to pretend that DCAU Harley Quinn is the only version of her.

I miss the old costume. I know the nature of comics but, it was a good design and the opposite of sexualized

Dracorion · 09-12-2013, 11:29 PM

Skintight cloth wasn't sexualized?

by comic book standards, no. I do not find the human shape inherently sexual. It was skin tight but the lines and shapes did not draw the eye to her curves and fully covered her up. So atleast to me I never found her design "sexy"

I like that suit too and, when I first played Arkham Asylum I was expecting to see it. Oh silly me, you so silly.

Yeah, the costume change bothers me. How can Harleen Quinzel be Harley Quinn of she is not dressed as a Harlequin.

She could change her name to "Harlot Quinn" :P

No, see, she's wearing a neck ruffle. She's totally a harlequin.

Fun fact, her concept art actually shows her wearing an updated version of her old iconic costume.

Though to be honest, Most of the cast got sexualized to some extent in that game. Males and females.

Poison Ivy got the worst of it though. But at the same time that's debatable since nudity is the body in it's natural form. It can be associated with nature, matching her powers.

Poison Ivy always seemed to get "the worst of it" in this case, though. I don't really ever recall a point when she wasn't supposed to be exceedingly sexualized.

Of course, I didn't play that game (I'm really out of date on my gaming - "Dragon Age: Origins" is my newest, for example) so I can't really say that it wasn't worse than normal in the game. Just that the trend sounds like it's consistent re:poison ivy.
