10 DC Villains To Watch Out For In 2019 On Film & TV

5. The Entire Cast Of Harley Quinn - Harley Quinn

Those outside of the US look destined to be without DC Universe almost indefinitely, but they can take solace in the fact that most productions will make their way to Netflix. One of these shows will be Harley Quinn, a new animated series starring The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco in the titular role, but she won't be the only villain present.

Lake Bell will play Poison Ivy as she attempts to help Harley get over her breakup with the Joker (Alan Tudyk), and she'll be joined by Rahul Kohli's Scarecrow, with the likes of Jim Rash, J. B. Smoove and Wanda Sykes also set to feature. Fans of the criminally overlooked Batman: The Brave and the Bold will also be happy to note that Diedrich Bader will be reprising his role as Batman in the series too.

Anyway, given how the series is set to showcase Harley as she attempts to join the Legion of Doom, we can expect to see plenty of famous faces from DC's past turn up at some point or another. If Jim Rash is playing Lex Luthor too, then it's going to be an instant hit.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
