One of the most exciting things aboutHarley Quinnis her wildly unpredictable costume history in the DC Universe. It can feel like she debuts a new look every other week, each more eccentric than the last. While these fresh designs are a blast, many fans still miss her most iconic outfits. Thankfully, one of her all-time classics has finally made a triumphant return.
Brian Buccellato and Christian Duce return for another installment ofJustice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2with issue #3. This time, the story opens with everyone’s favorite Gotham City Siren, Harley Quinn, engaged in a therapy session… with herself.
While this signature wackiness is highly entertaining, most fans’ eyes likely caught on the fact thatHarley is sporting her long-missed Rebirth costume, a fan favorite not seen in ages outside the recentWe Are Yesterdaystoryline.

Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, Chad Hardin, and Alex Sinclair’sHarley Quinn#1 (2016) is one of thebest-selling comics of all time, with an impressive 366,110 copies sold. It is especially remembered for introducing Harley’s fan-favorite Rebirth costume, which remains one of her most iconic and beloved looks to this day.
TheRebirth costume pays tribute to Harley’sclassic red and black color scheme, featuring her signature hot shorts, crop top, and jacket. This look is further defined by her knee-high socks, often with knee pads, pom-pom-adorned Converse sneakers, and, of course, her character-defining mallet, all combining to create a distinct and memorable aesthetic.
Over time, DC moved away from the Rebirth era costumes with initiatives like Dawn of DC and themore recent ALL IN campaign, causing this beloved outfit to disappear from mainstream narratives. Therefore, its surprising reappearance inJustice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2#3 is a treat for fans, especially as it’s brought to life with Christian Duce’s unique art style.
Can Fan Demand Bring Harley’s Rebirth Costume Back to Mainstream DC?
Unfortunately, for fans of Harley’s Rebirth costume, it’s likely to remain exclusive to theJustice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2limited series. In the main continuity,Harley continues to sport her latest costume update, featuring a unique sheer shirt and a teddy one-piece often paired with a trench coat.
While this newer design has been fairly well-received, it doesn’t quite have the same impact as the Rebirth look. That’s why seeing the classic costume return, even temporarily, feels like a special treat. If fans make enough noise, there’s hope DC might bring this iconicHarley Quinnoutfit back to mainstream continuity titles.
