Aquaman and Kite-Man, Hell Yeah!

A pair of trailers for some really fun DC projects dropped yesterday and both were pretty cool. We got the first trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and it looks pretty insane. I’m not sure if it looks like a great film, or if it looks like the slapdash movie we all fear it’s going to be.

This trailer is a lot. There’s so much going on, and a bunch of it seems like an odd choice. I know it’s a classic trope to have the villain of the first film come back as a pal in the second, but are Arthur and Orm really going to be that key of a buddy pair? Was their relationship really that powerful in the first film that we want to see them team up? At least Jason Momoa looks like he’s having fun. And Black Manta looks cool as heck.

My only nitpick is that, while the trailer does reference the seven kingdoms, I didn’t catch any specific mention or tease of this titular lost kingdom. Shouldn’t that be a bigger plot point?

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom comes to theaters on Dec. 20.

Meanwhile, on the little screen, we’ve got the first trailer for Kite-Man, Hell Yeah!, the spin-off from the excellent Harley Quinn cartoon. This looks like a ton of fun.

I really love the Harley Quinn cartoon, even if I’m many episodes behind on its new fourth season. Kite-Man has been a super fun character, and I am very much looking forward to this show. It should be a hoot and a half.

Kite-Man, Hell Yeah! comes to Max sometime next year.

Comic-Con Cartoon Trailers Ahoy!

It’s the Sunday of San Diego Comic-Con, so it’s a good day to just dump all the great trailers we saw this weekend. Mostly it was trailers for some of my favorite cartoon shows, which are all coming back for new seasons soon. So rather than parse them out over the next week, let’s pile them on and talk about them!

First up is the trailer for season 4 of Harley Quinn. I love this show and can’t wait for more episodes!

Harley Quinn is a great show and they’ve shown no signs of slowing down as we get into more seasons. It’s maybe not as sharp as the first two seasons, which were made back-to-back, but it’s still hugely entertaining and super fun. This season we’ve been told we’ll get more focus on Poison Ivy, and watching them maintain their relationship while on different sides of the hero/villain conflict should be a hoot.

Harley Quinn season 4 comes to Max on July 27, so next week!


Next up is the first look at season two of Invincible! Love this show as well, can’t wait for new episodes!

I’ve read the entirety of the Invincible comic after buying the three big compendiums, so I’m ready to see this show go all the way. The first season was great stuff, and hopefully season 2 will continue that greatness. There’s a ton of material to work with, a ton of great moments and characters to play around with. Can’t wait to see how they do it!

Invincible season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Nov. 3.


Sticking with cartoons, how about the season 4 trailer for Star Trek: Lower Decks! Between the last season and this one, I’ve watched the entirety of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1, so I’m big into Star Trek these days. I haven’t watched the crossover episode yet.

Lower Decks is a super fun show and I can’t wait to see what they do in season 4, especially with the new Vulcan character, T’Lyn joining the crew. Looks like super fun to me. All of these look like fun. All of these look like more of the same stuff that we know and love, and that’s exactly what I’d like to see with Lower Decks. They’ve been doing a great job so far, and they should nail it with a new season of hijinks and Star Trek coolness.

Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 comes to Paramount+ on Sept. 7.

Alright, three is enough for me. These are my three most excited for shows from the trailers we got. I’ll probably share some of the other trailers later.

Sexy Harley Quinn Valentine’s Day Special!

I very much enjoy the Harley Quinn cartoon. It’s funny, raunchy, silly and full of comic book goodness. It’s the best animated Batman-verse in years, if not decades. And while we wait for the fourth season, there’s going to be a one-off Valentine’s Day special next month. And it’s gonna be sexy!

Can’t wait to watch. And now you all know that it’s happening, so you can’t blame me if you miss it. Just keep your eyes peeled to HBO Max on Feb. 9.

I Don’t Know If I’ll Be Able to Play Gotham Knights

I am very much looking forward to the upcoming video game, Gotham Knights. An Arkham-style game where you play as all the Robins? Especially the Tim Drake Robin? Sign me the heck up! And the game looks great! We just got this new Villains trailer this week.

The problem is, I don’t own a Playstation 5, and my gaming PC is pretty old at this point. So I just don’t know if I’ll be able to play and enjoy this game when it comes out. Will the world suddenly shift and PS5s will become available? I doubt it. Am I going to spend hundreds of dollars to upgrade my PC just for this one game? Hells nah. So I guess all I can do is watch and enjoy these little trailers…

Gotham Knights comes out on Oct. 25.

This Harley Quinn Trailer Has a Lot of Cussing

Another week, another new trailer for the Harley Quinn cartoon and it’s upcoming season 3! I love this show and it’s a lazy Tuesday, so why not just share another one of these trailers? I can’t wait for this season!

But since this red band trailer is full of cussing, I can’t link it directly from YouTube. So how about the Twitter version?

Looks great! I can’t wait for all the humor, the character growth and the cussing. You can still watch the trailer on YouTube if you’d like. It’s much simpler, but has all sorts of rules.

Anyway, Harley Quinn season 3 comes to HBO Max on July 28! So a week and two days away!
