Before the formation of DC Studios, Warner Bros. brought many of its characters to television. Some like The Flash and Superman were well known to fans; others - the Doom Patrol and Human Target, for example - were not.

The plan moving forward is for the vast majority of live-action projects to take place in the Dcu, meaning we're likely to see fewer comic book heroes and villains on-screen.

In a recent interview with The Direct, Dean Lorey, the creator of animated TV shows Harley Quinn and Kite Man: Hell Yeah!, revealed that he briefly worked on a Hitman TV series for Syfy based on the little-known but still popular character.

Kite Man: Hell Yeah! has featured appearances from several characters tied to Hitman's world, something which now makes a lot more sense.

"Because we established the bar Noonan's, that sort of naturally led to some Hitman characters," he told the site.
