Harley Quinn was a TV show that really did catch every body off guard with just how good that it was and as a result of that is the fact that it wasn't all that surprising when it was announced that the show would be getting a spin-off. With that spin-off focusing on both Kite Man and Golden Glider well now then the show has finally dropped it's first two episodes and well you all just knew that I had to check this show the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED FILLED first impressions of the show that let's be honest here alot of us forgot was even a thing with the episode in question being called simply just "Kite Man: Hell Yeah!" enjoy.
The plot of this show is when Kite Man and Golden Glider buy there favorite bar they discover that it's alot more harder to run a bar then either of them first thought that it would be. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first twp episodes was in all honesty not that bad as it was a plot that was rather refreshing to see play out and while yes the above plot summery is of the shows overall plot each of the first two episodes do have there own unique plot with the plot of episode one revolving around the dup raising the money to buy the bar and the plot of episode two revolving around the grand-reopening of the bar and it's the plot of episode that was better plot as while episode ones plot was the stronger of the two episodes it's episodes two plot that was the more fun of the two episodes with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this show is Matt Oberg as Charles "Chuck" Brown / Kite Man and Stephanie Hsu as Lisa Snart / Golden Glider and Stephanie Brown / Spoiler. Also starring in this show is James Adomian as Bane , Jonathan Banks as Noonan , Lance Reddick as Lex Luthor , Michael Imperioli as Joe and Moe Dubelz , Natasia Demetriou as Malice Vundabar , Judith Light as Helen Villigan , Janelle James as Queen Of Fables , Rory Scovel as Gus The Goon , Keith David as Darkseid , Maria Bamford as Baby Doll , Phil LaMarr as Detective Chimp , DeSaad and Black Manta and Andy Daly as Darryl Brown and Sinestro , Dee Bradley Baker as Chessure , Jim Rash as The Riddler and Tisha Campbell as Tawny Young.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us n these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. As all of the actors that appear in these first two episodes are a bunch of really good actors and do know how to turn in some really good performances with this really being helped by the fact that alot of this shows actors are reprising their roles from the Harley Quinn animated series and as a result of that is the fact that they really would know what kind of performance really would best suit there respective characters in any given situation with the acting in both of these episodes really being helped by the fact that the scripts for both of thee episodes really are just so good that all these episodes actors have to do is simply just so the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to really raise the overall quality of the acting in that's in these first two episodes.
Doing the animation for these first two episodes is the legenda and the greats that are currently over at Digital Emation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good with the animation in both of these episodes being just as good as the animation that we got in Harley Quinn and yet at the same time being different enough and better then the animation in Harley Quinn due to the fact that the team have had more experience working on these characters and as a result of that is the fact that we get two episodes that both have some really good animation in both of them with there being such a high level of care and attention in both of these episodes from an animation standpoint that it makes the whole show look good with all of the characters having some really nice and fluid movements to them as well.
SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!
For those of you that are wondering there are two names that have been left of the cast list for these episodes with those names being Lake Bell as Poison Ivy and Barbara Ann Minerva / The Cheetah and one of this shows executive producers Kaley Cuoco as Dr. Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn. While these two appearing in the first episode of this show does make sense as it ties it into the Harley Quinn show both Harley and Ivy are basically there just in a cameo role only as they appear n the first episode and play no part in that episodes plot and heck the episode doesn't even explain why there not going to in this show at all as while they do yes mention them having just brought a new holiday home they never say if there going to be at that home or not with the characters in the first episode basically just being there to pass the torch off onto these other characters which is a solid way for these characters but at the same time tho these characters are so popular together that it could possibly cause people to expect them to be appearing in every episode of this show when in truth there just going there in a guest spot type of role and really nothing more then that.
As a comedy these two episodes don't really fair all that well as the comedy in both of these episodes just isn't all that good. As we could have gotten alot of better jokes in these first two episodes and while yes we do get some decent jokes in both of these first episodes alot of them are jokes that you can see coming a mile way and because of that the jokes just don't land as well as they really should have done not that there bad jokes but when you can see the jokes coming then there's something wrong with the joke on some level and it's something that really did need to be fixed but at the same time we do get alot of good jokes like the fact that the first thing that Bane does when he's at a Legion Of Doom meeting is to request tech to get small bits of crisps that are in the bottom of the packet enlarged so that people can eat them which is a funny joke and it is something that this version of the character would say and infact alot of his lines are really funny and feel in character for this version of the character where as alot of the Kite Man and Golden Glider jokes are really hit and miss with them being alot more hits then misses.
For some strange reason the makers of this show chose to make Golden Glider jealous of Malice because Malice is good looking. Yet all you have to do is look at how both characters are drawn to see that it's the opposite that's true which means that there whole plot line for the shows second episode just doesn't make sense as it's clear as day that Golden Glider is the good looking one and while Malice does seem like a cool and creepy character in this show her opening plotline is one where you can see the outcome coming a mile away and while you won't be see the possibly funny twist ending with the character coming it is something that does make sense given the creepy vibes that the character is giving of in all of her scenes but at the same time there really doesn't seem to be that much to her character outside of the fact that she's a youngster who only knows what today's younger people will know and nothing more then that which does make her character come across as being very note but at the same time tho there are places where her character could go if the show does take the time to fully develop her character.
Now then both of these episodes has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly no longer then twenty four minuets with episode one having a grand tot;a running time of exactly twenty three minuets and twenty six seconds and episode two of this show having a grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and fifty seven seconds. With episode one having the better running just because of the fact that while it doesn't have all that much to set up as things like the world of the show and alot of the shows characters have already been set up in Harley Quinn it still has to set up there story and what the character relationships are in this show and still tell a solid story which is something that this episodes does with both of the shows two episodes having just the right amount of plot for there respective running time and as result of that is the fact that none of the scenes in these first two episodes feel like filler as all of the are there to help to advance the overall plot of there respective episodes ad to the episodes credits they both know how to tell a good story in the short running times that they both have something alot of modern cartoons seemingly don't know how to do anymore but I will admit that both of these episode have some really good pacing to both of them tho.
So now then as this an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. As there is some good action in both of these episodes and while episode two is a little less action heavy the action in that episode is still some fun action with Chessure growing in size and just eating everyone that it lays it's eyes one with Kite Man and Golden Glider being forced to try and of course fail to bring it down which was a fun idea and it is fun to see in episode two of this show but the action that we got in episode one was alot more better as it really did just go all out and because of that it was the ore fun of the actions scenes in both of these episodes as the action in the first episode is basically Kite Man , Golden Glider and there friends storming Kite Man's dad's mansion and getting attacked by all of the various henchmen and security guards that his dad has which does make the sequence a really fun one to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Overall with there being alot of new DC animated content out just this week alone this one is the more better of the two new DC animated projects that we got this week as these first episodes were very fun ton watch and give you a good idea of where the show is going where as Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Part Three wasn't that much fun to watch despite it still being a good film in it's own right it's just that these first two episodes were alot more better then that movie was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if this post does decently well and if you guys want me to check out another episode then I will do it and that post would then be a review of that episode and that episode only and not a review of the show as a whole.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used on this very post well the boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Batman: Caped Crusader fandom wiki page , the official Harley Quinn fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to really use to get the images from these very episodes that I really used in this very post being the really great Google Images simply just because of the fact that really due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are in this post really are all really from these very episodes and are really of course up and really on the really great Google Images are really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
