I love her design here

Finally ! I searched one the other day and couldn't find it. let's hope we won't have to close it and re-open it come January the First XD !

I love her design here

Kind of a shame that we only saw her costume for like a couple of panels in the oneshot.

It's so awesome that we've got an Appreciation Thread for Harper, I was trying to compile information just like the other Appreciation Threads. Guess I can start posting the Harper commissions I've had done over the years.

This was done by Babs Tarr back in 2017 at Emerald City Comic Con. It's up and framed now but that's the nicest photo of it I have.

I'm sure we'll see more of the Bluebird costume in the follow-up in 2021. While I like Nguyen's initial design, I'm hoping for an upgraded look to the suit in the future.

IMO, a more armored suit that plays to the techie aspect of her character and incorporates a bit more blue to the outfit (found it a bit odd a character named Bluebird has a costume that’s mostly black) would be cool.

How worried should I be for Cullen's sake?

I love her design here

It's similar to her first appearances which I prefer to the later version where she cut most of it.

[sifighter]

Glad to see she’s back, I honestly liked her in the Snyder run and the Eternal series. Can’t wait to see how she plays into events later next year.

That Tarr piece is beautiful

I'm hoping for a two-tone blue suit. Like Tynion said about the cover to his start on Detective Comics 934, I think a silhouette has to be definitive to that character.

How worried should I be for Cullen's sake?

Given the possibility of escalation for the sake of plot, I think that Clownhunter will (eventually) target Cullen. Why, I can't say for certain right now. If anything it might be due to association with Bluff. A lot of what Cullen said in his argument with Harper during their fight in Punchline Special will probably come back around into the Clownhunter confrontation later.

That Tarr piece is beautiful

Thank you very much! It's not at eye-level now so it's difficult to take photos of that do it justice. I've got plenty of other pieces too, I just don't want to flood the thread with pictures.

[ZuLuLu]

Yeah, I glad Harper/ Bluebird and she is being used in an interesting way.

I always liked her.

[Westbats]

I was thinking about it today, and I feel like while we can worry about Cullen being attacked by Clownhunter, I do believe (and hope) that he will be fine once the overarching story with Punchline is resolved and her role in Joker War has been made public. I feel this way for primarily because Bruce already failed the Row Family once, with Miranda's murder orchestrated by Mother. DC and Tynion really have a great opportunity to develop Harper as a proper addition to the Batfamily, and given that they're in a rebuild phase of storytelling, I'm optimistic that they won't squander it.

I’m hoping they just don’t get “put back in the box”, so to speak, once the Punchline stuff is done with.
