Despite fans’ hopes, Suicide Squad isn’t the fantastic DC Comics film many wanted, even though it debuts the beloved Harley Quinn.
Her portrayal has been a point of debate and discussion ever since the film was released last week. Still, fans clearly want to show that their love for Harley is stronger than ever. Last year she was the most Googled Halloween costume of 2015, and now she’s the most searched for female comic book character on fashion shopping website Polyvore.
Polyvore is a website that allows users to search and shop for products as well as create outfit sets. According to a spokeswoman, Harley Quinn began to gain popularity in Polyvore searches starting March 6. That popularity continued to increase and in July she passed other female comic book characters to become the most popular in terms of searches on the website. The other characters in the top five following Quinn are Wonder Woman, Black Widow, Catwoman, and Elektra. Quinn though is seemingly leaving these other familiar characters in the dust when it comes to searches. According to Polyvore data, she’s 243 percent more popular than Wonder Woman and 288 percent more popular than Black Widow. Before this hike, Quinn was also among the most popular Halloween costume searches on Polyvore.
