The Joker And Harley Quinn

I’m back for a new year! I spent the X-mas break coming up with some new ideas to do for this year, and some are very ambitious projects. All will be revealed in good time, but first something to kick off 2009.

I actually had the idea brewing for sometime. I found an image of my default Harley Kristen Bell that matched beautifully with a promo image of The Joker. Sadly we’ll never get to see an actual image like this on film. :(

    never say never, ledger may be gone, but the character can go on… admittedly I would have very different ideas for harley though… blogs and work concerning both topics can be seen on my deviantart page… (some of us are still too poor to afford a website… seriously with how much your work gets around one might suspect you have a publicist)

    This is amazing, like all your stuff.
    Where do you find all the bits and peices to make the images though?

    Another great piece of art Josh.

    And I don’t know about you guys but I don’t want someone to play Joker for a while…let Heath’s performance shine for what it was. The next movie doesn’t HAVE to involve him.

    Brandan, srry dude, but if you find snippets of the script for the next movie, in which they want johnny depp to play the riddler, the joker is in it, weither or not they stick to that i dont know, but for you josh,
    Great peice of work i saw ur mock cover with her and it looks great, honestly from the way you made her look, it makes me think of Dakota Fanning playing her, and hey it could happen.

    This is a wonderful TDK adaptation of Harley Quinn. She fits right in!

    What people need to understand
    is that Heath Ledger died, but the
    Joker is alive! Let’s begin
    think with your head in Gotham, not outside. Surely, sooner or later we will have a return of the clown.

    Really nice work, but If she were to ever appear in Nolan’s Batman, she should be older than Kristen Bell, perhaps someone like Rachel McAdams, perhaps a li’l older even, so as to make it fit as a continuation to TDK with a more mature Joker (Daniel Day Lewis!!!!!!).
    Boy, dreaming is cheap.

    You need to put in a different hammer maybe one more like this hahahaha and yes i made it for her lol

    oh my gosh! this is a HORRIBLE Harley Quinn. She’s supposed to be cute and bubbley, not morbid. Yuck.

  14. 14 michael July 14, 2009 at 7:18 pm

    which part in the dark knight bis this and this is a great harley quinn it works for chris nolans take on the charecters

  15. 15 Alex July 15, 2009 at 8:56 pm

    Amanda, the Joker is normally a dangerously off-kilter prankster with a constant ear-to-ear grin and a hyena’s laugh instead of a dark chaos-inducing mastermind, and look how it turned out with Heath! I say if darkening up the Joker made the movie all the better, then what’s so wrong about darkening Harley?

  16. 16 michael July 17, 2009 at 6:57 pm

    exaccly. but we cant see this harley quinn because it would be dumb to have her if joker is not in it. and what seen in the dark knight is this?!?!?!?!?!?!

    @amanda – no offense but i think u’re way off the mark.
    keep in mind that ledger’s joker was not exactly as maniacal as bob kane’s original. in fact he seemed quite sadistic… more than the comic version and very in-control of his actions..
    i’m not saying ledger was not a good joker. Hell he was the best joker so far… but his role was still an adaptation… and i don’t think u should knock the idea of a grim quinn till u’ve at least tried it. @josh> bell looks absolutely perfect as quin. kudos on the costume. but i was kinda hoping for a bigger mallet :)

    now if only u cud do bryce dallas howard as poison ivy :)

  22. 22 Karen November 14, 2009 at 5:53 am

    This is a beautiful Harley. Nice that you created her with a realistic silhouette and not weighed down by pendulous boobs.

  24. 24 harleenquinn January 28, 2010 at 7:19 pm

    Brilliant absolutely brilliant! Shame this is only a fan image as I would love to see the Joker actually fall in love with her, how it would change him would be interesting enough to carry a small miniseries for me.
