Last year, Warner Bros. announced that it had ordered a ten-episode adult-animated DC series spinoff of the Harley Quinn cartoon, based on breakout character Kite Man. Today Max released the official teaser for the series.
Kite-Man: Hell Yeah!, which was originally under the working title Noon’s, stars Matt Oberg. who reprises the the titular character.
The official logline:
“Kite Man and Golden Glider take their relationship to the next level by opening a bar in the shadow of Lex Luthor’s Legion of Doom. Nobody said serving cold ones to the most dangerous rogues outside of Arkham Asylum would be easy, but sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and how to hide a body,”
The rest of the voice cast of Kite Man: Hell Yeah! includes Stephanie Hsu as Golden Glider, James Adomian as Bane, Natasia Demetriou as Malice, Janelle James as Queen of Fables, Jonathan Banks as Noonan, Keith David as Darkseid, Michael Imperioli as Joe/Moe Dubelz, Rory Scovel as Gus the Goon, Lance Reddick as Lex Luthor, and Judith Light as Helen Villigan.
It’s worth noting that while actors are reprising their characters from the Harley Quinn cartoon, others have been replaced including Queen of Fables, Darkseid, and Lex Luthor who were respectively voiced previously by Wanda Sykes, Michael Ironside, and Giancarlo Esposito. Moreover the character of Golden Glider was originally voiced by actress Cathy Ang in the Season 3 Harley Qunn episode, “The 83rd Annual Villy Awards.”
The show is executive produced by Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, Sam Register, Dean Lorey, and Kaley Cuoco. Dean Lorey serves as showrunner. Based on the characters from DC. Produced by Delicious Non-Sequitur and Yes, Norman Productions in association with Warner Bros. Animation.
According Suzanna Makkos, executive vice president of original comedy and adult animation for HBO Max and Adult Swim:
“We love the wild and fun world of ‘Harley Quinn’ so much we just had to make a spin-off and who better to center it around than the outcast Kite Man. Justin, Patrick, and Dean have created the perfect local hangout for Gotham City’s not-so-finest at Noonan’s, where bar patrons can blow off steam after a long day of mayhem.”
