Kite Man Spinoff Of Harley Quinn Show In Development
Patrick Schumacker reveals a Kite Man-centered spinoff of HBO Max's Harley Quinn show is in development and reveals details for the potential project. Originally created by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang, Kite Man, also known as Chuck Brown, served as a supervillain in the comics and an adversary to Batman who utilizes kite-based weapons to commit crimes. Unlike most of the Dark Knight's adversaries, Kite Man is generally considered a joke character in the comics due to his odd concept and personality.
Kite Man would make his screen debut in Batman: The Brave and the Bold voiced by Jeffrey Combs, which saw his origins stem from being electrocuted as a kid while trying to recreate the Benjamin Franklin lightning experiment and took to a life of kite-based crime as an adult. The character would later get another chance at the screen in Harley Quinn portrayed by Matt Olberg in which his nature as a joke character is further deepened with his lackluster catchphrase and numerous attempts to pick up women, including Lake Bell's Poison Ivy. With Kite Man suffering a major heartbreak in the Harley Quinn season 2 finale, the creatives behind the animated series appear to have new plans for the character.
