Kite Man: Hell Yeah!

Happy to see any spinoff of Harley Quinn, and I find myself enjoying Kiteman even more so far. Yet I feel like people, myself included haha, need to stop comparing it to Harley Quinn. This is its own entity, clearly. The voice actors are sublime; I particularly love the voice of Bane--god, I hope he gets a spinoff! Also crack up every time the Queen of Fables opens her mouth. . . (Ava from "Abbott Elementary!") Another thing I love about the show are the visuals--the colors and images positively pop off the screen. And there is a strange comfort about a bar like Noonans. . . That 'ol "Cheers" memory perhaps. . .

When I first saw they had made this series, I was like - nobody wants this! I watched the first episode and was bored and left it. A couple of months go by and I was bored so I picked it up from Episode 2, which was hilarious and ridiculous to I went back to episode 1. A good six hours later I'm like hellz yeah! This was a complete surprise! I loved it. They expanded on a fringe character that I had never heard of before the Harley Quinn series and totally rode the wave with him in such an unexpected way. The backdrop of the story is just as ridiculous as the Harley Quinn series is, but they really up the humor leveraging on Kite Man's dimwittedness. I imagine a purist watching this and saying the Kite Man is meant to be a supervillain not an antihero - well those people can find something else to watch. I laughed so hard, I was invested in most of the characters. I cant wait for a Season2.

I was excited when I heard there would be a spinoff of the brilliant series Harley Quinn, and utterly perplexed that it was the annoying minor character Kite Man. I mean, really?

The first episode was cute but unexceptional, as it sets up the basics - Kite Man and his girlfriend, Golden Glider, who has a freaky power she can't control, are stealing for sustenance when they find their favorite bar imperiled and it becomes a whole thing. It was reasonably funny and intriguing so I kept watching.

And I got more and more into it. Like Harley Quinn, Kite Man mixes a genuinely sweet love story with nutty characters and disturbingly graphic violence. And in spite of being only mildy interested at first, I soon reached the tipping point where I just binge-watched the whole thing.

While Kite Man still seems like an odd series star, he is backed by a wonderful ensemble that includes a very funny Bane (who would seem to have been a better option for a spin-off star) and Darkseid with his very silly greek chorus.

The story was good, but like Harley Quinn it's really the likabililty of its off-kilter villains that makes it so engaging. Here's hoping for a season 2.

It has that adult joke flair to it , all of the jokes and good storyline and a really nice animation ,really makes the HBO MAX tv animation series glow and has a unique theme and story to these characters, I think You would really like this show , but I would have to say that this spin off is unexpected and that I actually didn't want to watch this show because who wants to watch a show about kite man , it's like one of the bottom characters in the dc universe, but this studio is so creative and great that they made him likable, which in my opinion is near impossible to do , it's like making the fantastic 4 (2015) likable, so yeah if you are alone or with your partner watch this show , disclaimer (don't watch near kids).

Although Kite Man: Hell Yeah was an unexpected spin-off to Harley Quinn, seeing Gotham City in a whole new way in this modern, ultra-violent universe is a lot of fun. Kite Man is a moron and Golden Glider is an unexpected gem. DC really has something with this new version of Batman. It's a show thats existence is completely unnecessary but it's humor is just as random and morbid and hilarious as its mother show. I'm looking forward to seeing how this show plays out. The show has so much potential with how much "lore" there is to pull from, without needing to rely on the Bat-family at all. Gotham City is a mad place and the chance to see it used as a playground in a spinoff series is nothing short of a treat.
