I don't think anyone saw this coming.
I'm really not sure how I feel about this...I mean, I like the HQ version of Kite-Man, a villain bar sounds like a fun premise that can have an eclectic rotating cast, but...do we really need a cartoon of this? I'm just not sure if there's the audience for this outside HQ fans.
And I'm sure some people will look at them putting resources into this and asking why WB still hasn't released a Wonder Woman cartoon or anything that isn't Bat or Gotham-inspired.
For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
Or like...anybody else.
Like, okay, Aquaman got a mini-series, but is The Flash TV show mean they don't see the need for a Flash cartoon? Or are they waiting to see how the movie does? But then they'd probably shove Batman into that too.
WB seems to have some weird media priorities. Although I guess "HQ did well, must spread the success" is probably the thinking like with Gunn's Suicide Squad.
Its really sad that some fans just poison the well for other less popular characters
I mean WW has movies, video games, and TV shows yet her fans will actively talk down less popular characters getting a shot at an animated series because I guess that feather in her cap is vacant in spite of her appearing in everything else
Its tantamount to Batman fans crapping on Blue Beetle getting a movie or Black Canary getting a movie
The best thing about Harley Quinn right now? We finally get a show without Harley in it.
I fully believe this series will hold up forever. Best live-action comics-related thing ever and one of the best TV series' too IMO. I've watched it four times and am about to go for a fifth with my partner. When I don't know what to watch, I rewatch it and it's always a delight to do so. I recommend it constantly--sometimes to comics people but mostly not because most people I know aren't comics people--and every single one has been blown away.
It's a property they can take liberties with without hurting the property. Or at least that is how I read it...
Personally, I want a Damage Control series live action or cartoon. That could be awesome. DC tried with Powerless and had some issues...OK a lot of issues but I wish they did more with it. Such a missed opportunity because Alan Tudyk and Pudi are GOLD.
So that means she can be the only member of the Trinity without her own solo cartoon? Or that other major DC properties don't deserve their own cartoon? DC/WB's treatment of Diana isn't fair enough that I think they can get a pass.
It's like saying Superman being in Young Justice makes up for not having a Superman cartoon.
No one's "poisoning the well," it just sometimes seems like WB has some weird media priorities.
I think it can be fun, but it feels like the niche-est thing DC's done.
This is a ridiculous argument
WW is a tentpole franchise just like the rest of the trinity
Superman fans cry about the abundance of Batman content too but nobody legitimately regards it as base breaking because Superman is everywhere just to a slightly lesser degree
For all I care this Kite Man show could be terrible and so could a WW animated project but I know that I'd like to see a character who is unlikely to appear anywhere else let alone in the comics get these cartoons vs another opportunity to promote one of the trinity or Justice League.
Sounds good. I wonder if they’re going to use characters from Hitman.
WW is a tentpol franchise but she doesn't get anywhere near the level of content as Batman and Superman. Superman doesn't have it as goo as Batman, but nobody does.
I'm not saying WB/DC shouldn't go for off the beat takes like this, I like the shows' version of Kite Man, but that they should focus on their main franchises as well.
I'm on the Superman forum daily.
I don't think we are really crying about Batman.
We are annoyed about how Superman is portrayed.
There is a difference.
