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.

OldGuyStillGaming2828d ago

Absolutely nothing wrong with vegas pole dancers look

Nitrowolf22828d ago

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

-Foxtrot2828d ago

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.

Nitrowolf22828d ago (Edited 2828d ago )

@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

BlackTar1872828d ago

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

overrated442827d ago

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

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

Nitrowolf22828d ago

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

Scatpants2828d ago

Because he has the voice, but the wrong look.

TheCommentator2828d ago

@scatpants

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

gangsta_red2828d ago

Because Mark Hamill is a terrible actor.

Deadpooled2828d ago

@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_red2828d ago

@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?

rainslacker2828d ago (Edited 2828d ago )

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_I2827d ago

@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.

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

jcnba282828d ago (Edited 2828d ago )

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...

senorfartcushion2828d ago

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.

InTheLab2828d ago

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

PaleMoonDeath2828d ago

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

NovusTerminus2828d ago (Edited 2828d ago )

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.

ApolloTheBoss2828d ago

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

FalconR2892827d ago

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

KiwiViper852827d ago

What kind of strip clubs do you hang around?

PlayStation Doesn't Need a Dedicated PC Store Launcher

With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?

thorstein3d ago

No, and they already solved any need with the overlay that's coming.

Vits3d ago

Unless they are trying to kill their recently created PC business, I would advise against opening a dedicated PC store. It's an extremely hard endeavor, and people, in general, are very comfortable with Steam. Even Epic, with their billions of dollars invested, is still struggling to find a foothold, and they have Fortnite.

just_looken1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 23h ago )

Money is one thing security is another but again millions have 0 knowledge past 2020.

Epic store for years struggled with a shopping cart/account theft/credit card theft

Rockstar launcher/store to this day over 5 years later still has horrific user interface security flaws lost account's and stolen CC

Then you got that activision need phone number oh we lost it launcher

The crown jewel is the ea launcher/store ea app 3 yrs old still has hundreds of threads were people lost games/accounts/game access or just straight up crashes.

Edit" Oh ubi launcher were you buy a game that may or may not be there again or work and the launcher 5yrs old still has no 4K support if you launch it on a 4k screen there is a high chance it will just crash.

ocelot072d ago

Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming.

It's just a known fact. The PC gaming community prefer Steam and Steam alone. They don't like different launchers. I personally don't mind them. But majority just stick with steam. Hence why EA and Ubisoft went back to on releasing on steam and why Microsoft release games on steam as people hated buying from the windows store.

The only other launchers that I imagine are doing ok is GOG due to being drm free and epic games due to the free games every week. Sony shouldn't release any sort of pc launcher n

Nitrowolf22d ago (Edited 2d ago )

It literally says in the OP that PC gamers don't like multiple launchers lol. It even mentions Steam being the go to for gamers

Tacoboto2d ago

Title: "PlayStation Doesn't Need a Dedicated PC Store Launcher"

N4G: "Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming"

When you don't even read the headline...

ocelot072d ago

I read it and had a brain fart. As read the title then this "With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?"

So I hold my hands up on that mistake. Rest of my comment still stands.

Giblet_Head1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Steam and GOG are highly preferred because of the rich feature set. Ubisoft, Rockstar, EA, Epic etc have all set a precedent over the years for customers to instinctively expect individual publisher launchers to be so extremely half-assed that the majority simply don't want to bother dealing with what is almost an inevitable disappointment by comparison to Steam or GOG. Those publishers and their inaction or general disinterest to improve have effectively ruined any future adoption to be taken seriously.

Einhander19722d ago (Edited 2d ago )

This is just another ridiculous double standard article.

It's like how Microsoft can spend 20 years of making nothing but gaas and live service style games to sell microtransactions, dlc and subscriptions and get praise for doing it, but if Sony wants to make a single game like that every website under the sun is writing articles saying how Sony is anti-consumer or whatever.

derek2d ago

Yep, huge double standard look at the tortured reaction to the ps5pro, websites hyperventilating like Sony is forcing people to buy it.

just_looken1d 22h ago

Wait my xbox from 2004 has avengers gaas on it? wow your so smart

m$ Gaas started with the other companies like sony

Gamepass yes they are deep into that but its still a huge money saver sense you do not own your games then get a service like that.

Now there pc xbox launcher that is trash for years now
