Rick and Morty is Gonna Be a Wild Anime
I still enjoy watching Rick and Morty, even if it’s heyday is behind us. I still enjoy watching South Park, too. I’m just that kind of cartoon guy. And I definitely enjoy when shows like this take a big swing. Rick and Morty has now produced 10 episodes of Rick and Morty: The Anime, and it looks wild.
So yeah, not entirely sure what to make of that trailer other than just being generally excited! It looks wild, it looks weird, it’s made from real anime people. The show is already pretty wild, but this one could be so weirdly fun. I’m fully on board and can’t wait to watch!
Rick and Morty: The Anime is coming to Adult Swim and Max on Aug. 15.

Agatha All Along is Actually Happening
Once upon a time, Marvel Studios felt unbeatable, and they greenlit a Wandavision spin-off about Agatha Harkness. Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza are amazing, but can they make a good show out of this character? The first trailer sure looks witchy and spooky enough.
I think it looks alright. And I’ll definitely be watching. I still have all sorts of faith in Marvel and will gladly watch what they put out. So bring on Agatha Harkness! Give her all sorts of spooky fun adventures. Make it a good show! We’ll find out later this year.
Agatha All Along comes to Disney+ on Sept. 18.

Kite Man: Hell Yeah! Is Gonna Be a Fun Show!
I’ll admit that I was rather disappointed in the latest and fourth season of Harley Quinn. It had lost some of the snap of the first couple of seasons. And that’s probably because the showrunners in the beginning spun off to make Kite Man: Hell Yeah! so I am now very excited to see what they’ve produced!
The trailer looks like a hoot! Funny, wacky, and with some solid, enjoyable characters. We already know that Kite Man is awesome. Now we’ve got Golden Glider to add to the fun. And Bane is back, so that’s awesome. I expect great things from this show! And I hope the fifth season of Harley Quinn is also good!
Kite Man: Hell Yeah! comes to Max on July 18!

Batman: Caped Crusader Looks Pretty Sweet!
There’s a new Batman cartoon coming! We haven’t had one of those in a few years, and this one looks to be pretty spiffy! Batman: Caped Crusader is going to focus on Batman in a 1920s/30s/40s aesthetic, I don’t know which decade this looks to be exactly. It’s all tommy guns and gangsters in full suits. I love the look and feel of the show, based on this first trailer.
As always, I hope we get Robin eventually. But even without the Boy Wonder, this looks very awesome to me. I love the look, I love the feel, I love the focus this trailer puts on detective work. I love the sense of Batman being this lone crusader working from the shadows, instead of already being an omnipresent superhero of might. This trailer looks great!
Batman: Caped Crusader is coming to Amazon Prime starting Aug. 1!

Here’s a New Look at that Penguin TV Show (No, the New One)
The Penguin is still coming to Max, now set for a September release. I’m excited. I very much enjoyed The Batman movie and I think it’s a great idea to actually see that spin off into a legitimate TV show. Plus, TV has been making successful and enjoyable crime shows for decades. Surely somebody can take that winning formula and apply it to Gotham City, right?!
I think it looks good. Colin Farrell is obviously going to great lengths to bring this character to life, and he was very entertaining in The Batman. So just apply that to a hopefully gripping, dangerous and exciting crime show and we could have magic happen! And then, hopefully, somebody will just turn Gotham Central into a TV show as well, in the same universe.
And hopefully they won’t be afraid to use Batman, at least a little.
The Penguin comes to Max in September.
