Joker Costumes

When you think of trick-or-treating as Batman, the Joker Halloween costume is a natural companion piece. While you might be afraid that people are going to think the two of you are odd if you and your buddy go as the Batman and the Joker, you might consider a little Batman/Joker action for you and your wife or girlfriend. I'll let the two of you decide who gets to play which. Another thing to consider is that there might be one or two Batmans at the party, so you can go as the Joker and have a nice conversation starter with one or more fellow Halloween party people.

People wanting to dress as the Joker for Halloween costume parties have similar questions to answer as the Batman costume wearer: which Joker to dress up as? There's the now-famous Batman Dark Knight The Joker Deluxe Plus Adult Costume, as worn by the late Heath Ledger. Another option is this completely insane Joker Mask, which is more reminiscent of the Joker from the comic books, especially from The Killing Joke trade paperback and so on.

Harley Quinn Halloween Costume

If you really want to match crazy with crazy, consider dressing your date for Halloween in a Gotham Girls DC Comics Harley Quinn Adult Costume. Harley Quinn was Dr. Harleen Quinzel, a character who first appeared in the 1992 Batman Animated Series. Dr. Quinzel was a psychiatrist assigned by Arkham Asylum to treat the Joker, but who fell for him instead, and eventually became his wacky sometime accomplice and sidekick. Harley Quinn quickly became a fan favorite.

The Joker's Halloween Costume

It's always more fun to play the villain. When you wear the Joker Halloween costume, you also don't have to worry about a cape and cowl all night. This makes you suitably disturbing, without the encumbrance that comes with being the Caped Crusader. And all through the night, if you find a party patron who doesn't appear to be having a good time, you can blurt out the lame joke, "Why so serious?" As the Joker would say, you'll leave them in stitches.
