I go to 2 anime conventions a year, and since Suicide Squad's trailer (Not the release of the actual movie, just the first trailer) I've seen no less than 10 SS Harley Cosplayers per convention. I've seen classic, Arkham, gender-bent, and variants of Harley in this same time frame, but the overwhelming majority have been of the SS version.

I think the reason why there are so many cosplays of SS Harley is that the costume is easy to put together. Even if it was because they liked it, that does not mean it’s a good design though. The design is extremely gaudy looking. There is no coherence to it. Neither does it communicate a harlequin look. Even the Eldar Harlequins had the right idea
