1. Harley Quinn


    Harley Quinn is one of the most popular cosplay characters. It's equally popular on the web and social media and you can find tons of photos of cosplayers posing as Quinn dressed in her psychomaniac fashion on different social media sites and cosplay websites/forums.


    However, this character is mostly famous among women cosplayers and they also love to pair it with their joker cosplay partners.


    To cosplay as Harley Quinn, you don’t need much fancy cosplay stuff. You would need the famous Lil Monster shirt and the Satin Red and Blue Quinn jacket as top wear. Pair them with the red and blue shorts and a fishnet panty hose. 


    Apart from that, you would need Harley Quinn’s cosplay belt and boots, the replica of which would be easily available through any cosplay accessories seller.


    Coming to face and hair, it’s not too complicated. You would need to just style your hair like Harley’s with red and blue ribbons. If you’re blonde, you just need to color them with neon chalk or else you can easily get a wig from any cosplay wig seller. 


    Face can be easily made up using your make-up kit and a few youtube videos.


    There are other versions too of this maniac DC girl which can be easily replicated by just choosing the right costumes and accessories. The hair and face generally remains the same and won’t need much changes.

    2. Joker


    If we’re talking about Harley Quinn, then how can we forget Joker, the Joker who turned Harley into a psychopath just like himself. It is an equally popular DC cosplay character among male cosplayers who are a bit on the crazier side and have the guts and attitude to cosplay as Joker.


    Again Joker cosplay too has quite a few versions wherein you can just flip it with change in his suit colors like his purple suit or red suit. And just like Harley, the face and hair make-up will remain the same. You would need some body or face paint and basic makeup supplies to make your face look like Joker. However, the joker lips will require quite a bit of work. You can always refer to Youtube videos for the makeup.


    Lastly, you just need a green Joker wig for the hair or if you have long term plans, you can even try styling and coloring your hair just like Joker.

    3. Batman 



    Enough of villains!! It’s time for the hero to come in and who would forget Batman when Harley and Joker are creating chaos together.


    Just like Quinn and Joker, Batman is an equally popular character to cosplay from DC comics.  However, it’s much easier to cosplay as Batman when compared to Harkey Quinn cosplay or Joker cosplay.


    The reason being that it doesn't involve the face makeup and hair-do as it’s required for Harley and Joker cosplay.  You would just need the Batman Costume, Cowl, Cape, Boots and Gloves and you’re good to go.


    Again Batman also has different versions but all of them mostly have their head and face covered, so you just need the costume and accessories to change.


    Few of the popular Batman Cosplay versions are :


    Arkham City Costume

    The Dark Knight Rises Costume

    6. Catwoman


    Catwoman is another popular DC  cosplay character in association with Batman. Initially, she was characterized as a  supervillain and an adversary to Batman  but  since the 1990's she has been portrayed as an anti-heroine who is popular because she often ends up doing wrong things for the right reasons.


    That’s the reason which makes her character a little spicier than other superheroes of the DC comics world.

    She is also shown to have some romantic association with Batman although they end up having a break-up which again makes her character almost as popular as Batman.


    Not only that, her intensely black cat-shaped costume is truly terrific and that's why most of the cosplay girls end up meowing in it.

    10. Raven


    Raven is yet another cosplay character from DC comics which has lately been very popular among female cosplayers. She is neither a supervillain nor an anti-hero but  a superherione who first appeared in a special insert of DC comics in 1980.


    She eventually joined the famous teen titans where she met Garfield and then Damian or Beast Boy who fell in love with her.


    Her popularity comes in the Dc world from the fact that she is one of the fewest but most powerful superheroes in the DC comics universe because she is even stated to be capable of destroying universes but she mostly tries to suppress her power.


    Also, she is often compared to Superman but in a contrary way as she gets weaker because she has tough times controlling her emotions especially rage. Although she tries to control them, sometimes she just loses her control which at times gives her enemies an edge over her. It’s so appreciating seeing her internal struggle and that’s what makes her a superhero.
