Harley Quinn has arguably gone through more reinventions than almost any modern DC character, evolving from her original Batman: The Animated Series jester outfit into one of the franchise’s most unique antiheroes. Over the years, DC has swapped her classic red-and-black harlequin look for more punk-inspired styles, with the now-iconic pink-and-blue color palette popularized by Margot Robbie’s live-action portrayal.
Recent redesigns have pushed Harley’s aesthetics in bold new directions, specifically with the darker “Batquinn” imagery teased for upcoming comics and refreshed branding tied to the current DC era depictions. The character remains a centerpiece of DC’s expanding slate, with Harley expected to continue appearing across comics, animated series, and potential future James Gunn adaptations.
She’s also featured with stunning original looks in upcoming projects such as Justice League: Dream Girls and will certainly show up in future Harley Quinn-based comic books. However, with the various new projects featuring Harley this year, there’s a brand-new officially licensed release that showcases a truly stunning new look for the Clown Princess of Crime that may have slipped past your radar (via X).
Harley Quinn is making a major comeback in a brand-new officially DC-licensed fine art print release from artist KyuYong Eom and Sideshow Collectibles. The design comes from an unreleased variant cover for Batman: Harley Quinn #1 (2025), written by Paul Dini for DC, and is available for pre-order now for $95 USD unframed or $365 USD framed. The stunning piece of fine art comes printed on either rainbow or pearl lava hollowfoil, and is a must-have addition to any collector’s library.
The Harley Quinn costume and design in this fine art print is one for the record books, featuring what could be Harley Quinn’s most original and compelling look. “Poised on top of a giant confection, Harley Quinn has her cake and eats it too, celebrating her villainous role within Gotham City. Confetti bursts like a shotgun blast around her.” This limited-edition fine art release will only see 100 units sold in total, and each one comes with a seal of authenticity as well.

Batman: Harley Quinn #1 was a prestige-format DC Comics one-shot release that was published back in 1999, taking place during the Batman: No Man’s Land storyline. Written by Harley Quinn’s co-creator Paul Dini, the comic marked Harley Quinn’s first official appearance in mainstream DC continuity after debuting in Batman: The Animated Series.
The issue reintroduced Harley’s origin for comic readers and helped establish her as a major DC character beyond the animated universe. Its success directly led to Harley receiving her first ongoing solo comic series in 2000. Today, the comic is considered an essential Harley Quinn collector’s item, especially the original first printing with the Alex Ross cover, and this variant cover is certain to be a major conversation piece as well.
