Next-Level Harley Quinn Cosplay Brings Batman: The Animated Series To Real-Life

As a gamer with decades of DC Animated Universe experience under my belt, I can confidently say that @Livingdead_kev has brought Harley Quinn to life in a way that rivals even the most iconic animated portrayals. With her impeccable attention to detail and uncanny ability to emote through makeup and costuming, she’s proven time and again that she’s the real-world MVP of cosplaying the Joker’s psychotic sidekick.


No ranking of Batman-themed animated shows would be perfect without the inclusion of arguably the greatest cartoon of all time — “Batman: The Animated Series.” Apart from its amazing vocal talent, nifty animation, and no-holds-barred approach, animator and artist Bruce Timm’s iconic character designs are still instantly recognizable, decades after they were first conceived. They’re also so stylish that it seems borderline impossible for these particular versions of Batman (Kevin Conroy) and his rogues gallery to exist outside the realm of animation … or rather, it would be, if it wasn’t for cosplayer @Livingdead_kev and her shockingly faithful take on Timm and Paul Dini’s most iconic “Batman: The Animated Series” creation, Harley Quinn (Arleen Sorkin).

Using both makeup and a lifelike portrayal of the show’s jester attire, this cosplayer successfully achieves a strikingly accurate representation of the character, even capturing the icy blue eyes. It’s an amazing demonstration of talent that effectively brings the animated Harley Quinn to reality.

Could the cosplayer bring other versions of Timm’s Harley Quinn to life, as well?

From her captivating Harley Quinn portrait, it’s evident that the cosplayer has a knack for accurately portraying the character. In truth, her Instagram profile brims with photos where she embodies the Harley Quinn from “Batman: The Animated Series.” Although she typically dons only the jester cowl and facial makeup rather than a full costume, these pictures stand out because they demonstrate that @Livingdead_kev’s portrayal enables her real-life Harley to be as expressive as the animated Harley – a feat that resonates with fans of “Batman: The Animated Series.

Looking at her skillful portrayal of the traditional Harley Quinn style, one can’t help but ponder how this cosplayer might adapt to other versions of the character. For instance, the yellow-and-green Harley Quinn redesign by Bruce Timm in Amazon Prime Video’s “Batman: Caped Crusader” series has not yet been worn by @Livingdead_kev. However, one of her Instagram posts features a hairstyle and glasses similar to those of Dr. Harleen Quinzel (Jamie Chung) from the show, suggesting that she might eventually explore this new interpretation of the psychiatrist-turned-supervillain as well.
