Harley Quinn’s Spinoff Kite Man: Hell Yeah Is Hilarious, And Delivers What I Think Is DC Comics' Grossest TV Character Yet

As a huge fan of animated DC shows, I was beyond excited to see Kaley Cuoco’s Harley Quinn make a cameo appearance in the new Max Original “Kite Man: Hell Yeah,” and I wasn’t disappointed! This show takes the wild and NSFW antics of Harley and Ivy to a whole new level.


In the latest Joker: Folie à Deux trailer, Harley Quinn, portrayed by Kaley Cuoco in live-action, took a significant role. Meanwhile, her animated alter ego made an appearance in the Max Original series Kite Man: Hell Yeah. This quirky show, led by the title character and his bar, features Harley’s antics being just as raunchy and self-deprecating as her escapades with Poison Ivy. The new DC TV production is no less explicit, filled with sexually charged humor towards Catwoman, strong language, and gruesome fight scenes. Remarkably, it pushes the boundaries further.

Hell Yeah,” which involves Matt Oberg’s Kite Man and his girlfriend Golden Glider (Stephanie Hsu) purchasing Gotham City’s most villain-friendly dive bar, Noonan’s, and attempting to run it successfully, this plot is indeed complex in its own way due to the presence of significant antagonists like Lance Reddick’s Lex Luthor and competition from other nightlife establishments. However, I want to emphasize that this show introduces a new pair of villains who could potentially be among the most disturbing and revolting characters in DC TV history.

I’m talking, of course, about the conjoined-twin brothers Moe and Joe Dubelz, as voiced by The Sopranos and This Fool vet Michael Imperioli. Simply put, Moe and Joe are introduced as fairly obvious parodies of traditional mobster types, only not quite so coked-out and over-the-top as Al Pacino’s Scarface, and not quite so actively dangerous as James Gandolfini’s Tony Soprano. But before too long, a plot to rob Kite Man’s father goes awry, leading to Joe’s death via gunshot wound.

Not that Moe was eager to accept that fate, trying to explain it away initially as such:

Nah, nah, Joe’s fine. He’s just taking a nap.

As a gamer, I’d put it this way: even though Joe is no longer among the living, he doesn’t disappear from the show entirely. In fact, since Moe keeps visiting Noonan’s, we can assume Joe is still with us in a macabre way. And as the season progresses, the twins’ corpses will undergo decomposition, meaning Joe’s head will get closer and closer to becoming completely putrid every time we see them on screen. So whenever our gaze lands on the conjoined twins, we’re that much nearer to witnessing Joe’s full decay.

As a huge fan, I can tell you that this story is just as intense and out-there as something straight from Eric Kripke’s “The Boys.” However, the most shocking moments in that show usually involve male anatomy and explosions. But the situation between Moe and Joe in “Kite Man” is a different kind of extreme. It’s more morose and psychologically twisted because it drags on for much longer.

The character Moe Dubelz in the “Kite Man: Hell Yeah!” series is expected to undergo a significant transformation during its first season, consisting of ten episodes. This could potentially result in a repulsive and corrupted version of Moe by the finale. Although it’s hard to imagine such a narrative for a DC project, an alternative within this universe might involve Moe encountering a Lazarus Pit, which would revive him but leave him with morally questionable actions.

In due course, we’ll find out if that occurs or not. Yet, prior to that, I’m shamelessly enjoying the fact that I’m genuinely curious about DC’s viewpoint on animated maggots.

As a long-time fan of quirky and intriguing television shows, I’m thrilled to share that “Kite Man: Hell Yeah”! is back with new episodes every Thursday on Max. Having followed Moe’s antics since its inception, I can’t help but wonder how far the creators will push the envelope this season. With each passing episode, my anticipation grows as I place my bets on just how nasty Moe will get before the final curtain falls.
