After the “Harley Quinn” animated TV show proved to be such a success that it survived two streaming services, it got the classic sitcom treatment of having popular characters get their own spin-off series. That’s how we got “Kite Man: Hell Yeah!” an animated sitcom in the vein of “Cheers” starring the titular powerless villain buying a bar with his girlfriend, Golden Glider.
After a season of common, everyday issues like moving in together, managing a business, and finding a time-traveling toilet in your apartment, the season finale paid off the big serialized storyline of the season — the hunt for the Anti-Life Equation, which was hidden at Noonan’s Bar by Lex Luthor. Kite Man and Golden Glider realize that this formula gives the holder control over the minds of sentient beings, and in the finale, they come up with a brilliant plan to pull an “Exorcist” and have...

After the first three episodes of “Kite Man: Hell Yeah!” focused on the acquisition of the bar Noonan’s and Kite Man and Golden Glider’s relationship, the fourth episode of this “Harley Quinn” spin-off takes a bit of a turn. After helping the couple move in together, Bane uses their new bathroom — and finds himself back in the ’80s, accidentally (or very much willingly) changing the future. That’s right, it’s a time-traveling superhero episode, but instead of a hot tub or a DeLorean, it’s a toilet that lets you go back in time.
“We were trying to figure out what could be an interesting way for this to happen that’s not ‘superhero,'” “Kite Man: Hell Yeah!” showrunner Dean Lorey told IndieWire. “We didn’t want to have somebody with a power that can send you back or something like it. It just came down to,...

Lately, in between reviews of swanky limited series and dramas desperate to be “Game of Thrones,” I’ve been using my non-work-related TV time re-watching “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” What a comfort. What a joy. What an escape. The weary modern world is filled with I.P.-driven franchise extensions and comedies that aren’t really comedies, whereas Moore’s iconic ’70s sitcom gets laughs every other sentence from its simple setting in snowy Minnesota. Credit to the phenomenal cast (somehow Ted Knight and Ed Asner’s five Emmy wins in six years weren’t enough), the smartly designed, blessedly humble studio apartment (her new digs in Season 6 are more offensive than the episode where Murray professes his love for Mary), and good jokes elevated by a precise understanding of their punchlines. I can’t tell you how often I’ve burst out laughing because of a clever twist on the expected kicker,...

Whether it’s DC’s animated comedy “Harley Quinn” or its spinoff series, “Kite Man: Hell Yeah!,” vulgar language and bloody violence are center stage for every episode. Katie Rich, a writer and executive producer on both, relishes that the shows’ villainous protagonists allow her and her team to crank up the “naughtiness” a few notches.
“Because they are bad people… the dirtiness and the funness is organic,” said Rich. “We are not forcing it to be an adult comedy, this is really who these people are.”
Rich was joined by fellow “Harley Quinn” and “Kite Man” writers and executive producers Patrick Schumacker and Justin Halpern, as well as series stars Lake Bell and James Adomian in the Variety Studio, presented by Google TV, at 2024 San Diego Comic-Con to discuss the successes of their two raunchy animated series.

Oftentimes, actors lend their vocals to more than one character when needed, but in this particular setting, Bell and Adomian want to bring the spotlight to two side characters. The catch is that they do it in the raunchiest way.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and last year's SAG-AFTRA strike, San Diego Comic-Con is finally set to host its first regular convention in five years this weekend.
“I’m cautiously optimistic,” says chief communications and strategy officer David Glanzer (via Variety). “We’ve learned to always expect the unexpected but, in the end, try to produce the type of show we want to attend. I think it will be a really good show. Finally, we’ll be back to normal.”
“It’s been a challenge,” he adds. “We knew that if there was ever some kind of a catastrophic event, we would be able to withstand a year without conventions. We never thought that it would last more than one year.”
Marvel Studios will hold two panels in Hall H: one for this weekend's Deadpool & Wolverine on July 25, and Marvel's chief creative officer Kevin Feige will also be on...

Harley Quinn’s new spinoff show Kite Man: Hell Yeah! is here, and with it comes plenty of connections to the original series and even a surprising recast.
The show follows the lovable idiot, Kite Man, voiced by Matt Oberg, who fans knew in Harley Quinn as Poison Ivy’s fiancé. That is until she left him at the altar so she could be with Harley.
While life has not been so great for Kite Man, he now has his own show. So, things could be worse for the down-on-his-luck villain—perhaps his series has some fun surprises for him.

Amazon’s popular superhero series “The Boys” has always been a thinly veiled allegory for right-wing politics, but it’s never been as unfortunately timely as it is now. The game-changing Season 4 finale, which is currently streaming on Prime Video, features an assassination attempt on the life of a U.S. president just a few days after a similarly violent incident occurred in the real world. It’s an unbelievable coincidence, and you can choose to watch the episode or not based on this information (Amazon has also added a viewer discretion warning to the beginning of the episode), but the dramatic hour sets up the Emmy-nominated drama for what is sure to be an epic final season. From gruesome deaths to emotional declarations to the unexpected final moments that will leave fans wondering how our ragtag group of heroes can possibly escape what’s coming next, “The Boys” is...

When Harley Quinn’s Poison Ivy (voice of Lake Bell) finally ended up partnered in both supervillainy and love with the titular Harley (Kaley Cuoco), fans rejoiced. Showrunners Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker promised the couple will never break up. Harley and Ivy started their fourth season last summer as current TV’s longest-running queer couple. There was, however, one person their new love left behind: Ivy’s former fiancé Chuck Brown, better known as Kite Man. In fact, Ivy might have never been brave enough to pursue a life with Harley without Kite Man’s intervention. He was the only one at his wedding willing to acknowledge that Ivy didn’t actually love him and, during their vows, answered the officiant’s prompt with a “Hell… no.”

The Best Superhero Series to Binge this Summer and Where to Watch Them - Main Image
Marvel Studios and DC may be slowing down in their theatrically released projects, but that just means there’s more room for television-focused projects.
Summer has had some great series so far, and while some have wrapped their season, there is still a load of other comic book adaptations on their way to the small screen.
X-Men ’97
June was buzzing as Disney+ had brought back the classic version of the X-Men from the 90s. Picking up from where the original series left off, Beau DeMayo’s take on the Children of the Atom finds the X-Men picking up the pieces after the death of Professor Xavier; that sounds complicated enough as it is, but they’re suddenly faced with having to have the team be run by their oldest nemesis Magneto.

Chuck Brown, better known as Kite Man, has never been one of DC’s headliners. In the comic books, hedwells in the shadows of Batman’s rogues gallery, his green suit and skyward scheme earning little more than eyerolls. Things looked up when the animated series Harley Quinn featured him in a funny arc as Poison Ivy’s reluctant beau. But could Kite Man finally take flight as his own show’s lead?
Spinning off from Harley Quinn’s satirical success, Kite Man: Hell Yeah! centers on Chuck and his gal pal Golden Glider running Noonan’s, a dive bar frequented by Gotham’s fallen foes. Sounds like setup for situational hijinks galore amongst the henchmen and baddies. Yet where Harley Quinn excels at peeling back layers on its beloved characters, this show struggles to flesh out its own.

Kite Man: Hell Yeah! is a spin-off of the adult animated series Harley Quinn, the last remaining vestige of the former DC Universe streaming service. Although one might wonder if we really need a series with a D-rate supervillain without any powers as its protagonist, this show answers with a resounding yes.
If you were to describe Kite Man: Hell Yeah! in a high-concept sense, it’s basically adult animated Cheers with supervillains. It’s a cute little concept that will satiate avid comic book fans and more casual viewers alike. It’s a good rotating balance of obscure characters and massive players in the DC canon, allowing the show to feel like it has stakes and relevance without feeling like one has to have seen and read every piece of DC media to understand what’s going on.

Kite-Man: Hell Yeah! — the Harley Quinn spin-off series coming to Max — will differ from its predecessor in a key way, according to storyboard artist on both DC shows Christopher Jones.
The 10-episode animated series will revolve around Harley Quinn side character Chuck Brown (Kite-Man), and will take place within the original show's universe. If the character's name sounds silly, that's because he is one of those goofy D-list villains in the vein of Condiment King or the Baffler.
Kite-Man: Hell Yeah! was originally titled Noonan's, referencing the bar that appears throughout Harley Quinn's run. In both iterations, Kite-Man would be seen working with the likes of Bane and Lex Luthor — all three of whom have appeared as relatively prominent side characters in Harley Quinn.

After the success story of ‘Harley Quinn‘ series, we just got a new teaser for a spin-off series, ‘Kite-Man: Hell Yeah!,’ that will feature Kite-Man after his tenure within the original series. This is exciting news for the fans of the DC Universe since the character “stole” the show during his tenure in ‘Harley Quinn’ series and his appearance in the DC Rebirth arc in the comics, where he became a fan-favorite.

Max has released a teaser for its upcoming original animated series Kite Man: Hell Yeah!, a spinoff of Harley Quinn, which wrapped its fourth season Thursday. It’s set to premiere in 2024.
