Kids' WB! Announces Spectacular Spider-Man

"The Spectacular Spider-Man" is the official title of the super hero's new animated series coming to the Kids' WB! on The CW, it was announced by Kids' WB! Senior Vice President and General Manager Betsy McGowen.

"The use of the 'Spectacular' title is a homage to Marvel's wildly popular series of Spider-Man comics, and is very reflective of the enthusiasm and high regard we have for the production," McGowen said. "This promises to be a stand-out animated series that will perfectly complement both Sony Entertainment's box office-shattering films and the amped-up action on Kids' WB! every Saturday."

Riding the crest of Sony's blockbuster Spider-Man 3, the new animated series -- slated to premiere on Kids' WB! in early 2008 -- picks up the world-renowned web-slinger's mythology at the beginning of his hero's journey as a not-so-typical 16-year-old with new-found powers engaging the multi-leveled pressures of teenage life while combating bigger, badder super-villains in the real world.

Greg Weisman ("Gargoyles," "The Batman") is supervising producer on "The Spectacular Spider-Man." Victor Cook ("Hellboy: Blood and Iron") is producer/supervising director. The series is produced by Culver Entertainment.

The look is decidedly weak.

I wonder if Marvel has taken a look at THE FACT that WB people have not done a good job on their characters... hmmmm, wonder why?

My son (4 yrs old) LOVES this show - he watches it over and over and can't wait for Saturdays to see the new episodes! I think it is great - very kid friendly and enjoyable.

It's only been on for a month and they're already showing reruns! I thought the show less substance than many of the other incarnations of Spiderman cartoons and this seals it.

Loved the show. The story and script was wicked...

As a huge fan of spider-man watching and reading anything i can get my hands relating to Spider Man, I must say: this is what i have been waiting for!
This follows the life of Peter better then anything else. Gwen Stacy is a big part of Peters Life, Peter goes after Betty, MJ is never seen but often commented on by Aunt May and the first shoot of MJ she says her classic line in the classic setting. They have tweeked the orgins of villians but this is the trusts version of Spider-Man outside the comics to date.

yeah this show is pretty sweat! i can't wait for mysterio, hobgoblin, the rose, scorpion, and my personal favorite the jackolantern although they'll pobably never add him. i wouldn't mind if they left out ben rielly, demogoblin, that savage hunter guy, or black cat. i mean seriously... you make people unlucky. can that get lamer? good job cw!

So far I love the show.They try to do a different take on the characters so the old heads like me don't get bored with the story line while trying to maintain what makes spidey well... spidey.I can't wait to see what they do with the venom saga!

Posted by: Anthony on June 9, 2008 at 23:15:21
