The Spectacular Spider-Man Lands On Kids’ WB!

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.
