A couple of my comic book friends have demanded I feature these photos because they look so damn good and you all deserve to see them, too. Separate from the other fake fan created Dark Knight Returns poster that we ran last week, Australian artist Josh McMahon has designed numerous mock-up versions of additional Batman characters that could appear in a third movie.

Included in his designs are photos of fan favorite Kristen Bell as Harley Quinn, Marion Cotillard as Catwoman, and David Tennant as The Riddler. Now don't get too excited, like that other fan-made poster, these are all just fan-created images, meaning there is absolutely no truth to them. But because they are so well done and because I'd love to see this happen with these actors, I decided to feature a few of them here for your enjoyment.

To be honest, I had never even thought of Kristen Bell as Harley, but that photo above proves that she would be perfect. If they did choose her, it would be another example of inspired casting like Heath Ledger and I think she would do an amazing job.

However, it just doesn't logically make sense to have Harley if Joker is locked up, does it? Additionally, Marion Cotillard seems like a good choice, but for some reason, Anne Hathaway as Batgirl does not.

All of these fan-created images are so great to see because it just shows how much inspiration a masterpiece like Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight can provide for fans. And even one full month after the release, we're still talking about it - which says a lot.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Harley Quinn is awesome! Kristen Bell looks like she'd be a great choice if they were to use the character.

Thoughts?

I approve of Harley Quinn being the next baddie, especially with that makeup. The biggest problem would be that we'd need another Joker for sure. Totally CGI might not work.

I gotta say no on Harley Quinn. They can't bring back the Joker for #3 so Harley is out. I'd be pretty bummed if she was in it actually, as much as I've wanted to see a Harley Quinn live action character.

My vote is a decisive no on Harley Quinn. She is part of the Joker/Harley duo. She doesn't stand alone.

My thoughts exactly.

If Ledger were still alive(which unfortunately he isn't) I would totally say do this. I think it'd be even better than TDK. Because the Joker + Harley = Best Movie EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think they can bring her in without showing the Joker again. She looks pretty badass although she'd be quite similar to the Joker.

They can't have Harley Quinn in the movie if they don't have the Joker. She was his shrink and she fell in love with him then became Harley. Without Joker, she's nothing.

Also, I kind of like the Batgirl concept, but I don't like the costume. Also, it's too early for her. I love the Riddler costume and actor, though. Just fits.

Overall, though, the pictures are ****ing badass. And Bell is hot. I'd support her as Quinn, but it would have to be a different series of movies. In Nolans continuity, I don't think there should be another Joker. And mainly because of Ledger. If he were still alive, I'd back Harley in a ****ing second.

Warner Bros must be on cloud nine at the moment. They could probably slim down their advertising campaign for this next film to 'post release date on internet'. It's going to have some hype but to be fair, DK was the last hyped up blockbuster I'd seen that actually did live up to it and it's in small company.

I don't know the Harley Quinn character but I did think 'female Joker' too when I saw her. Kristen Bell voiced Lucy in Assassins Creed, which I just posted about, on a random note.

Aha, so she's an "accomplice" and "love interest" of the Joker. Would be odd having her alone then and I'd hate to see the Joker featured again in the next flick. Still, I wouldn't turn away the idea of having her in the film. Not. One. Bit.

Neat artwork.

They could possibly write her in if they left Joker in Arkham. But with her being the love interest, I'd assume that she'd try to break him out. Otherwise, it might be plausable.

Is it wrong that I think she looks.... kind of hot?

Constantine · 08-26-2008, 10:19 AM

Yes, she's a fox. A dangerous, bloody, sexy fox.

Also, they could tweak the story a bit and have Harley Quinn not be a love interest but a copycat of the Joker who becomes intrigued by him and sets out to finish his work.
