Every Halloween it seems like there are a few costumes and outfits that are more popular than others. For example, two years ago you saw a hundred people dressed as Miley Cyrus, and last year you saw a zillion Elsas (from Frozen, c’mon dude).
And while a perennial favorite for guys has become The Joker, believe it or not The Arkham Knight’s super villain has been surpassed in terms of popularity by one of his female companions: Harley Quinn.
According to Google Trends, Harley Quinn is the #1 most searched costume term in the nation, even beating out Star Wars characters, and the very general term “Superhero.”
Why so popular? Well for one, Harley Quinn is a wild and sexy character, and we know that women love to look good on Halloween. It also probably has something to do with the fact that Harley’s name has become more popular with the upcoming release of Suicide Squad.
And finally, having a Harley Quinn costume means that all those Jokers finally have a couple’s costume.
