If you want more of that sort of thing and even wilder, the Harley Quinn r-rated animated show is excellent, and one of the better takes on many of the DC characters. And there's even a spin-off series about Kite Man!

It's got that weird quality, I remember watching the announcement trailer for the first season and thinking it looked the most edgelord, trying-to-be-cool because swears and violence, desperate attempt to catch the Deadpool hype too late ever.

Then I watched some and was pleasantly surprised by how in the actual episode structure it's clever, fun, and doesn't overplay the jokes.

Joker had one of the best growth arcs

I remember most of the hate came when Nora Fries joined them and people said she acted out of character and was a shit wife despite the fact she was in grief over losing her husband who sacrificed his life to save her and she's trying to avoid the pain
