Kite Man: Hell Yeah!

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.

So I just finished watching the first season of Kite Man: Hell Yeah! (2024-) earlier this morning and it was a decent enough spin-off show to Harley Quinn (2019-).

Positives for Kite Man: Hell Yeah! (2024-): For me, it was interesting having the main character being a villain that I have never heard of until now. The dynamic between kite Man and Golden Glider was interesting enough to keep me watching every week. There is a decent amount of dark comedy that I had fun with. And finally, this show could lead to the possibility of a live-action portrayal of this character in the future.

Negatives for Kite Man: Hell Yeah! (2024-): While I did have some fun with the show, I don't understand why we're following Kite Man. For me, there are a lot of other villains in the DC who are far more interesting to follow as the main character of a spin-off series.

Overall, Kite Man: Hell Yeah! (2024-) is a decent enough attempt to create some interest in a character who I never heard of, but I'm still wondering why did it have to be Kite Man.

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).

How does DC create a show about a character without any real superpowers? Well the first episode is clear indication that this show has everything it takes to take it to another season and thats coming from episode 1. Funny, fast and very engaging, DC's least famous characters come to the foreffront of this show with its raunchy humour and.amateur gimmickry. Kiteman's girlfriend Golden Glider has a more powerful character and is madly in love with this goof ball. The show ends with a bat signal probably signalling him becoming a foe of Batman and I also hope there is an arc with Poison Ivy, with whom he has had a past, who has a small part in the first episode.

Quick fire comedy. Nice bit of nostalgia. Obscure characters mixed with vintage bad guys. I found it funny and a decent viewing experience and am looking forward to more episodes. The cartoon style is very much like Star Trek lowers decks and the quick comedy also reminds me of this. I like the fact it includes lex luthor's minions and mentions the likes of batman and Superman.. I actually didn't know this was coming out and its a nice surprise to carry on the DC's storylines (obscure as they are) funny to see bane with actual lines rather than one word cameos. Let's give it a chance and see where this one goes.
