The Spectacular Spider-Man (entitled The Spectacular Spider-Man Animated Series) is a planned animated television series that is slated to air in March 8[1], 2008 on Kids' WB on The CW. The first season will have 26 episodes.[2] .
[edit] Info
The Spectacular Spider-Man was announced by Kids' WB Senior Vice President and General Manager Betsy McGowen and Sony Pictures Television Co-President Zack Van Amburg in March, 2007.
The new series is being produced by Culver Entertainment. The series will premiere on Kids' WB on The CW. It was announced at Comic-Con that it will premiere in March 1, 2008 (although the date was later changed to March 8) and will not be affected by the new agreement with 4Kids Entertainment.
Riding the crest of Sony's anticipated summer blockbuster Spider-Man 3, the new animated series picks up the original web-slinger's mythology at the beginning of his hero's journey, as a 16-year-old entering his junior year of high school. Having spent the summer engaging common criminals with his new-found powers, Peter Parker must conceal his secret identity while engaging a new level of terror - the multi-leveled pressures of teenage life at home and school while combating bigger, badder super-villains in the real world like Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Venom, and many more.
According to writer Greg Weisman the timeline of the original Spider-Man story-arcs, which the series is based on, will be condensed in order to move the series forward and include such classic and important characters as Flash Thompson, Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant, Harry Osborn, Jean DeWolff, J. Jonah Jameson, Aunt May Parker, Joe 'Robbie' Robertson, and Liz Allan.
The new series will not follow the same continuity as the Spider-Man film series.
Concept art by Sean "Cheeks" Galloway presents an interpretation of the series' takes on a number of characters.[3]
Greg Weisman says that the episodes will have three to four episode arcs for DVD release reasons. The tie-ins will be slight, but present. The first episode arc will feature Vulture, Hammerhead, The Enforcers, and Electro. Weisman wrote the first episode.[4]
Hasbro will release a toy line of Action figures in March 2008.[5]
