Oh I know what this is. From the Harley Quinn show. That show''s actually not official canon.

My wife got me into it. It's actually one of the funnier things I've seen come out of mainstream comics. I love the scruffy alcoholic Jim Gordan who just needs Batman to give him a hug, and King Shark as a computer hacker. Or when Superman and Harley are both making fun of Damien Wayne Robin. It's really funny in a way that I didn't expect them to have the balls to do.

I mean, John's be canonically bi since the OG Hellblazer run, so that's not weird. The fact it was (non-'DC's Harley Quinn') KING SHARK is what makes me tilt my head... Like... Really, Johny?

It's not, though. It's from Apokolips War.
I really liked the first episode of that show, but then I learned they do some major anti-semitic humor. That's a real deal-breaker. =/

Professor Detective, I wonder if his choice has anything to do with the fact that sharks have two penises.

What? He's a sweet computer hacker just trying to get by in a cruel world that hates him because of his appearance.

Just don't let him smell blood and all.

From what I saw, people didn't like that Penguin was having a bar mitzvah for his son. I don't really see it playing on stereotypes or misrepresentation at all, it's just a bar mitzvah and the fact that Penguin is a bad guy.

Like I said, 'non-Harley Quinn' King Shark.

Also Penguin is literally the scheming rich aristocrat villain with a long pointy nose whose shtick is being rich and corrupt. You don't...see anything dodgy about that?
