Kite Man: Hell Yeah! (originally known as Noonan's) is an upcoming American adult animated black comedy superhero television series based on the DC Comics character Kite Man created by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang. The series stars Matt Oberg, Stephanie Hsu and James Adomian, and follows the adventures of Kite Man and his current girlfriend Golden Glider who have supported the purchase of a local bar named Noonan's. Nobody said serving cold ones to the most dangerous rogues outside of Arkham Asylum would be easy, but sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and how to hide a body.

The series serves as a spin-off of Harley Quinn, where Kite Man was featured as a supporting character and ex-fiancé to Poison Ivy. The first season will consist of ten episodes, with Matt Oberg returning to voice Kite Man. Much of the voice cast were revealed in September 2023.

Kite Man: Hell Yeah! is set to premiere on July 18, 2024.
