Joker in Suicide Squad

In Suicide Squad, Jared Leto puts his spin on The Joker, though it will be tough to top Heath Ledger’s rendition of the maniacal character. This time, the Joker shows more street style with a set of grills and plenty of ink. For the full Joker cosplay, pair this costume with this Joker from Suicide Squad makeup tutorial.

Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad

In Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn is the same crazed psychiatrist turned supervillain, but Margot Robbie’s is different from the usual take on Harleen Quinzel. One that’s less court jester and more of a deranged, bloodthirsty baseball player. To get the face makeup just right, follow this Harley Quinn makeup tutorial.

The Flash

When it comes to speedy superheroes, Quicksilver I, Quicksilver II, or Dash from the Incredibles may be the first to come to mind nowadays. But with his own television show premiering in 2014 and a movie planned for 2018, The Flash is back to remind you that he’s the original speedster.

Green Arrow

In Arrow, Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) is Green Arrow, a billionaire playboy who dons a costume and fights crime. Sounds a lot like another guy we know. No surprise that his weapon of choice is the bow and arrow.

Death from Sandman

In the DC comic series The Sandman, Death is both the end of life and the guider of souls. Unlike most personifications of death, like the Grim Reaper, she is a young goth woman dressed in casual clothes who also visits people as they are born.

Deathstroke

In the DC Comics, Deathstroke (real name Slade Wilson) is a mercenary and assassin. Originally an enemy of the Teen Titans, he’s worked his way up the supervillain chain to face off against the likes of Green Arrow and Batman.

Terra

In Teen Titans, Terra (who’s real name Tara Markov) is a mercenary with the handy superpower to control all forms of earthen matter. For her Teen Titan’s outfit, follow this guide for help on how to spray paint the shirt.

Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld

In the comic Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld, Princess Amethyst is orphaned at a young age and taken to Earth to be raised in safety. Upon her return to Gemworld, she discovers that not only is she a princess, but that she has powerful magical powers.

Black Canary

The Black Canary’s fighting skills must be impressive if she’s able to defeat criminals in fishnet stockings. Having a Sonic Scream probably helps. Real name Dinah Drake, she’s also known for being a part of the Justice League and for being romantically involved with the Green Arrow.

Aquaman

Aquaman hasn’t gotten much screen time like the other DC Comics superheroes but he’ll finally make an appearance in Batman v Superman. As his name suggests, Aquaman has telepathic control over sea life and can manipulate water to his advantage.
