It ’s been a big couple of yr for aquatic villainKing Shark , who ’s made visual aspect in the vastly successfulHarley Quinnanimated series and James Gunn ’s DCEU blockbuster , The Suicide Squad . It is belike no coincidence that both of these properties are more humourous , since Nanaue is a lineament ripe with comedic potential . He is somewhat silly in conception . However , the silly thing related to King Shark in being may not be his general gimmick , but rather the name of his evil son who has seem in just one comic .

After King Shark ’s end , this comic introduces his Word as a force of vengeance . He is precede throw Batman through the wall of a building ( which , by the bye , is on Kesel Avenue , likely a precious nod to King Shark ’s co - creator , Karl Kesel ) . assume an panoplied suit of clothes and inheriting his male parent ’s metal shark - jaw , he announces that he plans to preserve the memory and legacy of his father by killing Batman . When Commissioner Gordon intervenes , the criminal attacks him , give away in the process that , in his infinite creativity , he ’s chosen the name “ Kid Shark ” for himself . It ’s a name so good it even go by that ofthe Suicide Squad ’s fledgling , “ pebble . ”
It ’s a existent face - palm moment , ascertain out that this minor has ingest a simpleton , albeit campy name for a supervillain and put the most ridiculous whirl on it . It of course technically makes mother wit , but it fails by leaving out the “ royal ” one-half of King Shark ’s name , instead making him sound like a rejected Aquaman sidekick . Perhaps a better name would have been “ Prince Shark ” or “ Duke of Sharks . ” Really anything would be more dignified than Kid Shark !
The tantrum has a swooning tone , signal that Kid Shark and his vengeance quest are n’t meant to be taken too seriously . As such , the name does officiate as a joke at the junior villain ’s expense . But that does n’t take away fromthe fact thatKing Shark ’s sonhas decided on one of the worst names for a supervillain around . One can only hope that if the DC Arkhamverse has an afterlife , Nanaue is learn over Kid Shark with pride , and a smile on his weird metallic element back talk .
