NEW SPIDEY ANIMATED COMING TO KIDS’ WB! ON THE CW in '08

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by Steve Fritz

Another Marvel hero is returning to the animated frontier. The Kids WB announced it has struck a deal with producer Culver Entertainment to bring everyone’s favorite webslinger back to Saturday mornings.

The series is tentatively titled The Amazing Spider-Man. Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, The Batman) is supervising producer, Victor Cook (Hellboy: Blood and Iron, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command) is producer/supervising director.

“The addition of Spider-Man bolsters a lineup that has proved to be the Saturday morning destination for kids seeking action and adventure in the most amped-up ways,” Betsy McGowen, Kids WB SVP and General Manager said. “We’re ecstatic to welcome Spider-Man to our popular cavalcade of super heroes.”

"Spider-Man is such an important brand for Sony Pictures and we're thrilled to keep the momentum going by taking it back to television with an animated series on Kids’ WB!," Zack Van Amburg, Sony Picture Television Co-President added. "It's also an excellent way to launch Culver Entertainment, our newest television company."

The new animated series picks up the original web-slinger’s mythology at the beginning of his hero’s journey…as a not-so-typical 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.

“Our goal is to reinterpret these great characters and concepts for our millennium,” Weisman said. “We’ll have plenty of resonant material for the Spider-Man fan, while engaging the Spider-Man novice with the same thrills we experienced when we were first exposed to the character. Our stories will appeal on multiple levels with plenty of eye-candy, action, humor and colorful characters for the youngest demographic balanced with extensive character development for ‘tweens, teens and adults.”

No announcement has been made regarding voice cast or what type of animation will be employed. Expect more on this story as it breaks.

[The Lizard]

I'm glad to see the new animated Spidey series is still coming, but a few things have me worried, namely the fact that this will be on the Kid's WB, and that the producer of "The Batman" is involved.

After the failure of the more adult-oriented MTV Spidey animated series, I was afraid that the next project would be more kid-focused, and I'd guess that's what's happening. We'll see...

[spidermania23]

Praise God!

I believe this is what we wanted!

I pray this gives a sense of the 90's back to us

[CaptainStacy]

"reinterpret"...

That really has me worried.


Anyway; i guess this is the show that was originally supposed to be DTDVD...i guess they liked it enough to televise it...maybe thats a good sign.

[Buford The Sly]

Sounds like a slightly different take on Ultimate Spider-Man. Which is cool with me.

[InsaneDwayne]

Sound like it will be like that Teh Batman cartoon. They should just call it The Spiderman and we could have crossovers where the Joker drinks the black stuff and becomes Joker-Venom.

[Nebins]

I'd like to say this sounds cool and jump with praise but it doesn't really sound like much yet. I hope it'll be awesome and that it will get released on DVD because I know I probably won't be watching it on TV

[Kal-El 8]

This is awesome news . I'm glad to see Spidey back on Tv .I really hope this new animated series turns into a huge success just like The 1990 's SPIDER-MAN : The Animated Series .

[GoldGoblin]

Do you think New Goblin will be in it?

[samsnee]

As I said in the other thread under TV shows, I think it'll be average the first season as the writers try to get a feel for the characters. It probably won't get good until the second or third season. Look at Justice League, X-Men: Evolution or The Batman as examples.

[Arkady Rossovich]

Im also a bit curious about this.I think the 1990`s version was great,and i doubt this new series will come even close to it.

[Shin-Natsume]

the 90ys show was great...

well, the batman dude did gargoyles so there is a glance of hope. on the other hand, i dont hold my hopes too high. i was unimpressed with the mtv show and i have the feeling that this new show will be done after 13 seasons too...

and this will happen to ALL spider-man shows until some muthafocking producer realizes that he cant make money with spider-man as ripoff, but only when he produces a great show.

something semper did in the 90s...

[Asteroid-Man]

Im also a bit curious about this.I think the 1990`s version was great,and i doubt this new series will come even close to it.
Only thing about 90's version that bugged me was the series finale. But they made up for it with the Release of SpiderMan for PS1 which continued the series and then they finished it off with SpiderMan 2: Enter Electro.

[Joker]

Do you think New Goblin will be in it?

Who is new Goblin??

[Nebins]

Only thing about 90's version that bugged me was the series finale. But they made up for it with the Release of SpiderMan for PS1 which continued the series and then they finished it off with SpiderMan 2: Enter Electro.

I played those games but barely remember them now. That's cool that they used the games to finish the story of the show.

hopefully this is more Hellboy Animated than it is The Batman :o

The games had nothing to do with the show, they just used some of the same voice actors.:huh:

[Venom 1988]

Uh no it wasent lol. Those games had nothing to do with the 90s cartoon. As Abanddon already said the only similarty was the voice actors of Black Cat and Doc Ock were the same ones from the cartoon.

[DocLathropBrown]

Only thing about 90's version that bugged me was the series finale.

Why? Are you one of those people that's under the impression that Spider-Man: The Animated Series went unfinished? I quite clearly remember the ending was intentional on Marvel's part. Fox Kids had been advertising it as the last season...

Not only was the series entirely finished, but events took place that would have only happened at the end of a series. I mean, Spidey meets Stan Lee, for God's sake. The show did not end abruptly. Just because they ended with Spidey going to get MJ and they didn't SHOW him getting her back doesn't mean that it was one of those shows that ended without a resolution.

Good point. Also; when that Spider-Man: Unlimited toon started up, Peter and MJ were together again in the first episode.

[Abaddon]

Spider-man: Unlimited wasn't a continuation of the previous series either. It was sort of it's own thing.

That`s something i did not know,but dont belive the saying that they finished the series.There was ment to be another season in which the Green Goblin and Mary Jane came back,it was ment to be Spider-Man searching for her,for most of the season,and then it would end with then being reunited.

Thanks for the info.

Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Sandman, Venom, Tarantula, Mysterio, The Lizard and Kingpin. It already has a better villain gallery than the MTV series, classics to boot. I'm hoping this animated series is at least good. And I hope it's good enough to last more than 1 or 2 seasons. I await seeing the character designs and I hope it's traditional animation. :cool:

[CaptainStacy]

Spider-man: Unlimited wasn't a continuation of the previous series either. It was sort of it's own thing.

I heard it was the un-official sixth season of SM:TAS....it had all the same creative people, except John Semper...

[Abaddon]

I heard it was the un-official sixth season of SM:TAS....it had all the same creative people, except John Semper...

oh, yeah? Then why did it suck?:cmad:

actually I think that's just a common misconception because the series came out only about a year or two after the previous one ended. I'm sure they weren't ever meant to be related. And now that I've just read the wikipedia entry, I'm thinking it's just someone's mistake. If only I had proof.:csad:

[Visionary]

I heard it was the un-official sixth season of SM:TAS....it had all the same creative people, except John Semper...No way, Spider-Man: Unlimited was its OWN THING, it had nothing to do with SM:TAS. Man, was that damn show horrible.

[CaptainStacy]

Well, it sucked because John Semper wasnt involved. He was the driving force behind the 90's show. :up:

[jabbatheridge]

I don't think Spider-Man Unlimited was related to Spider-Man 90's animated series, but if you watch the first episode of Spider-Man Unlimited when he first changes into his Spider-Man outfit to stop Carnage and Venom boarding the rocket with John Jameson, they do play the theme from Spider-Man TAS.

Perhaps that's what's caused the confusion, however I agree with those saying Spider-Man Unlimited was total crap, it really really was and I'm a big Spider-Man fan.

I didn't see the point of Counter Earth as he fought pretty much the same villains from his original rogues gallery, just slightly adapted and made a whole lot crappier.

The worst affected was the Green Goblin, did he need to become a good guy with a habit of losing his trousers :csad:

Lame.

.

Exactly. And Peter seemed surprised that Venom and Carnage were working together, which i thought carried over from the 90's show, as the two were enemies there, iirc.

[jabbatheridge]

The other thing about Venom and Carnage was they never explained in the series how they went from being enemies to working together like a pair of brothers.

Another big flaw.

[CaptainStacy]

Lame.

The reason the format changed to the Unlimited scenario, according to writer Larry Brody, is because the deal Marvel made at the time for the upcoming feature film prevented Fox from using classic Spider-Man on tv....none of the people involved, including Avi Arad, were happy with Unlimited's Counter Earth storyline, but their hands were tied at that point.

Brody took the job, because he thought Spider-Man should have a continued presense on television. The plan was to use the Counter Earth storyline for two seasons, then have Peter return home to Mary Jane in the third season (just in time to coincide with the movie's release)...

[jabbatheridge]

I didn't know that, although I got the impression the series was due to continue since it finished on a cliffhanger.

I'm glad it was cancelled after the first season though, it had almost no redeeming features IMO.

I wish they'd bring out some box sets of some of the older Spider-Man series. Not just the ninties but the Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends and the solo Spider-Man cartoon from the eighties. Both were better than the MTV series and the 67 series, both of which are available with all the eps on DVD.

[DocLathropBrown]

I haven't seen a Spider-Man show that I didn't like. Even Unlimited had a lot of good stuff in it. It was a nifty suit as well.

But man, come the second season of the '67 series, it just went to Hell. With the exception of "The Origin of Spider-Man", I couldn't watch it. And I rather liked Spider-Man Unlimited, so what does that tell you?

I even love the Nicholas Hammond series.... I wish he'd gotten a chance to play Spidey on the big screen. Maybe after a haircut, but still. He was awesome.

Anyway, since I find The Batman mostly enjoyable, I guess this new show might be worth a damn. If it's too "hip", though, I may not be able to take it.

[Prison Mike]

So since this new show is a reinterpretation of the mythos, it will be like the Ultimate Spiderman comics? Will it loosely follow the original mythos but with a twist for the new generation of viewers?

[Abaddon]

Unlimited was sucky, but it did have a pretty cool intro, and I liked the new costume.

[The Techno Bat]

I even love the Nicholas Hammond series.... I wish he'd gotten a chance to play Spidey on the big screen. Maybe after a haircut, but still. He was awesome.

I agree with you, I liked the series as well, and Hammond did a pretty good job as both Peter and Spidey, too bad the writers were the real villians behind destroying what could have been a great show

[GoldGoblin]

Who is new Goblin??

^Harry from the SM3 movie.

[Mr Jide]

the 90ys show was great...

You mean, 13 episodes. :word:

[Mr Jide]

I heard it was the un-official sixth season of SM:TAS....it had all the same creative people, except John Semper...

It even used a sample of the aerosmith theme in the 1st episode.

[Abaddon]

that was probably just to have the audience make the connection so that they wouldn't have to spend time on exposition. The previous series only ended about 3 years prior.

[Spidey-Jason]

from WONDERCON: GREG WEISMAN SPOTLIGHT PANEL

"There was not a lot of Spider-Man animated series news as the show is still in development. Although it was said the show will be 2D with possibly some bits of 3D animation incorporated ("Futurama" was given as an example)."

[Visionary]

True, but that's because the show needed something to remind people of the hit Spidey show to try and lure them in...it didn't work. The entire show was far from anything from SM:TAS.

Not keen on the 3D animation part, that should be left out, it just doesn't work well.

[Doc_OCK_4MUGEN]

um... I only fear that Spidey get's pseudo-manga treatment that the F4 got...
or gets a HumbertoRamos-esque art for the series... or spidey gets mega kiddyfied...
Hopefully the 3-d parts will be a better looking nod to the 3-d swinging scenes from Spidey TAS...
Hopefully Spidey will be able to throw a few punches...

[Visionary]

My fear is something like Teen Titans cartoon (anime style crap).

that would be great to see, as it was mentioned a few posts up.. a great nod to the 90s show.

I hope it is cell shaded cgi (as in fairly oddparents, and futurama), vs "realistic" (mtv spiderman)

[November Rain]

oh great, 'another spiderman' cartoon...

:rolleyes:

that's what the world needs...

personally i don't have room on my shelf for another one. What's wrong with taking the mtv one and adapting it so it at least has his signature rogue gallery in it...

imagine an mtv spiderman ep with doc ock in it, it would be amazing...

shame mtv spidey had more balls than spiderman 2 spidey

[Visionary]

People hated the MTV show for some reason, thus why it didn't survive, there wasn't even talk of a second season for that show. Hopefully, this new series will be good enough to last more than a season.

Big interview here:

a 50/50 reatio on new-old villians would work for me:ninja:

[November Rain]

screw that, spidey has a wide rogue's gallery with the majority of his foes never been seen on either the big screen or on animation, they always use the same old six or so villains...

bah


widen the horizon abit, bring in some comical ones, mix it up abit...bring in Kaine...:mad:

It's already been mentioned, there's going to be classic villains.

Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Sandman, Venom, Tarantula, Mysterio, The Lizard and Kingpin.

I tried that and had no luck

Sorry Silver I'm Stumped

[Silver Sable]

It's ok.Does anyone know who else is involved in this new series? Maybe I can contact of of them

May I ask why do you want to contact him?

[Silver Sable]

B/c I want to know how the animation and characters will be like

Are there gonna be more than that you think?

[Visionary]

Most likely, there's 13 episodes and that's only 8 villains. This guy sounds like he wants classic stuff running throughout the series, so I doubt they'll make any villains up. Unless Marvel/Sony makes him do it.

[Visionary]

B/c I want to know how the animation and characters will be like
It's too soon to know that sort of stuff, but you should read the interview with GREG WEISMAN in Spidey-Jason's post (above) he talks a lot about what he wants to achieve with the series.

TY. Just wondering what you think is the best Spiderman Cartoon series.

I havn't been a fan for a very long time but I'm starting to get into the comics now. I visit other forums just never a marvel forum. Just trying to figure out who are the better posters around these boards.

the 90's series is pretty good but for its time the 67 series is the best:ninja:

[Spiderine]

I think this series will stay true to form, I dont know why they think its necessary to change the formula like some of these other unsuccessful series.

[srm1]

the 90's series is pretty good but for its time the 67 series is the best:ninja:

Downloaded all of the 90s series episodes a few weeks ago. Just burned them and I'm loving them. Never watched too many of the 67 series episodes. I used to watch the 90s series when I was a kid. watching it the past few weeks brings back alot of memories. I didn't enjoy watching the 2003 series and I wasn't much of a fan of Spiderman Unlimited either but I've been enjoying the Unlimited comics. I hope the 67 series is as good as you say it is.

[GoldGoblin]

:O

[SpideyStu2]

Depending on what type of animation style they use, this should be a good series. I never had a problem with the MTV animation style they used but I doubt that they'd go with that again. According to the producer who worked on the MTV show, they animation they used was very time consuming so they only had so many models for the characters that they used. If you ever notice while you're watching that series, they use the exact same "extras" in the scenes for each episode...kinda weird.

[GoldGoblin]

I wander if people will actually die in episode on this new series like they did in the MTV version.

[Visionary]

Great, now I know that this new cartoon is gonna suck as well :csad:
Why, what makes you say that?

[Silver Sable]

If I tell you, you guys will get annoyed with me lol :csad:

try us silver

Awsome cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[srm1]

If I tell you, you guys will get annoyed with me lol :csad:

Just put it in as a spoiler then its up to us to decide on whether or not we want to read your post.

According to your post count you're one of the better posters on this board, I'm guessing your opinion carries a lot of weight around here and I'm very interested in the new cartoon coming out and. I'm really interested in others people opinion on this cartoon, please give yours.

[Silver Sable]

I guess I'll take that as a compliment.Thanks :yay:

There's 2 reasons why I think this cartoon won't do well.If I'm wrong, then smack me lol

1.After the 90's series, both Spider-Man Unlimited and the MTV one sucked and that's why I'm afriad this series won't do well either

2.I have a feeling that they are going to do the ultimate version of it

[The Joker]

1. All comic book movies before Blade pretty much sucked, but it wasnt bad.

2. The ultimate verion rocks, and sells better than the 616 books, which means it'll do just fine as far as ratings go.

[Visionary]

Thing is, you can easily pin-point where people were not interested in the MTV series (Not enough classic villains, too many made up villains and characters) and Spider-Man Unlimited (Spidey on another planet with animal people, nuff said) that's why they failed.

This cartoon is including classic villains and classic characters, it has my interest, to at least check it out for a season. And like Weisman said, he's not worried about a season 2, he wants to put out a great season 1, so the demand for season 2 will be there.

Man, I just hope its traditional animation and the character designs look good, when the first look of the series shows up somewhere.

[GoldGoblin]

I wander if Tarantula will be a good villain.

[fabman]

The MTV series was a joke... can't wait for this one!

[GoldGoblin]

I know this show will get a second season.

[Visionary]

No you don't. :o

[GoldGoblin]

The only successful spidey cartoons are the ones that have the classic villains in them,the ones that fail are the ones that don't.

[The Joker]

The only successful spidey cartoons are the ones that have the classic villains in them,the ones that fail are the ones that don't.

the MTV series had several classic villains in it, and still failed...it had Silver Sable, Kraven, Lizard, Kingpin, Electro, and a version of the Black Cat (they called her something else, but it was her character all over)

[fangrl06]

This is great news and all, but isn't it about time for a decent live-action Spider-man show?

[Dark Prophet]

^No, not as long as they're still making so much money off of the movies. Plus, they can do so much more with movies.

I'd like to see an ultimate live-action series one day (you could translate it very easily straight from the page) but not anytime soon.

[Prison Mike]

I could see the CW making an emo Smallville-like live action show based on Ultimate Spiderman. I would love to see an Ultimate Spiderman live action show, but not as soap opera-ish as Smallville (though I do watch Smallville and like it, just not the soap opera aspects of it).

[fangrl06]

A live action Spider-man show would likely air on Fox, and not the CW. I don't want them touching Spider-man either. If done right, it would kick so much ass!

[November Rain]

the spidey market has been completely saturated, it's almost like the transformers one

how many different spidey series cartoons do they really have to make when plenty of great marvel characters are going without any at all...

why not invest in a decent daredevil/elektra series instead?

[Venom.X]

Ohh, how cool! A Daredevil series, but as long as its not kid-friendly.

Well, Spidey has to have an animated series, not just for the sake of the movie, but because he's Marvel's main character.

[Prison Mike]

I wouldn't mind a Daredevil/Elektra series. Maybe a live action show on Spike TV like Blade (only much better)?

[GoldGoblin]

Do you think these classic villains will have the classic looks to them?

[3dman27]

well the only reason he's marvel's flagship is really because they give him the greatest exposure outside of the fan collecting genre.

give some other characters a chance to spread their wings


i dont want to see 9-12 different spidey and wolverine cartoons over my life time.

give some love to other characters who deserve it

[Visionary]

Hell, they're not even investing in a Daredevil/Elektra movie sequel, let alone a cartoon. I doubt you'll see this anytime soon. However, isn't Iron Man getting his own animated series?

[Joker]

Do you think these classic villains will have the classic looks to them?

Probably not all of them will. I'd say Ock and Goblin will get updated looks. Can't see them changing Sandman much. He's very simplistic in design.

[Spiderine]

Are they going to be designed in a style similar to The Batman.

[Silver Sable]

Probably not all of them will. I'd say Ock and Goblin will get updated looks. Can't see them changing Sandman much. He's very simplistic in design.


I think your right.They may do the Ultimate or Movie designs on them

[The Joker]

Are they going to be designed in a style similar to The Batman.

they better f**king not...

[GoldGoblin]

Probably not all of them will. I'd say Ock and Goblin will get updated looks.

^
Those are the two I'm wandering about the most.Movie Ock looks a million times better than the comic look,and Green Goblin could use an updated look from his classic look.

[Raniburger]

Hey, *slightly* off topic, but is anyone aware of any plans to release the 90's cartoon as a complete series, rather than the bits & pieces that have been released separately so far?

[walternewell]

Haven't heard of any, Raniburger, but there is a petition to both bring the series back and have it properly released on DVD. Here's the link:

http://www.petitiononline.com/DRG4

Fun fact: This petition was what inspired me to start my own campaign (see signature).

[batman strikes]

Below is a list of Episode Titles and descriptions I found over at Imdb.com. It's basically an outline for how they want the show to go, but it's not final yet. You can read what the guy at IMDB.com had to say here.

Some notes for readers:
-I had this guide on paper rather then on my computer and typed it up to get it online myself to please excuse any errors I made
-This guide is not definite at all and is an early outline cooked up by the writers to submit to those making the show
-This guide is extremely tentative, most of the episodes have not even been storyboarded or scripted yet and this is a very early plan from the writers. Episodes could be changed at any time if they are deemed too inappropriate by the network and producers
-The second season is a plan simply if the show is renewed after one season. The plan is to have episodes split in half so that the first 13 start air in mid-September and the second 13 air starting in January. Think of each season's 13th and 14th episodes as sort of mid-season finales and premiers.
-Episodes 6, 32 and 37 are considered Holiday special and may not air consecutively with the other episodes or may not air at all and be released as DVDs

Great to see Gwen Stacy is going to be a part of this show, too. It all sounds great. Jam packed with villains galore, including the Sinister Six.

[walternewell]

Oh yeah, I'd definitely like to see this...especially if they're incorporating the rest of the Marvel Universe with our favorite friendly neighborhood web-head

*crosses fingers with anticipation*

Where's the LINK to those story episodes?

[CaptainStacy]

well the only reason he's marvel's flagship is really because they give him the greatest exposure outside of the fan collecting genre.

give some other characters a chance to spread their wings


i dont want to see 9-12 different spidey and wolverine cartoons over my life time.

give some love to other characters who deserve it

I dunno....over the past four decades, a bunch of Marvel characters have been given the toon treatment. The Fantastic Four have had four different series...the X-Men have had two...Iron Man has had two, (with a third on the way), PLUS an animated movie...the Hulk has had three...Thor and Sub-Mariner both had single season toons...Captain America as well...The (Ultimate) Avengers have two animated movies...Dr. Strange is on it's way...

It isnt like Marvel hasnt expierimented with cartoons for other characters, it's just that Spider-Man seems to resonate most with the fans.

Dont hate him because he's popular. :cwink: (kidding)

Those outlines sound so good they HAVE to be a hoax! :wow:

(that's not a slight towards you in any way, batman strikes...i just think it might be internet bull crap. i hope im wrong.)

[Prison Mike]

Those are AWESOME plots but I thought I heard that there wouldn't be any guest stars at least for the first season because they want to establish Spidey on his own? I REALLY hope that outline comes true, but I'll take it with a grain of salt since it did come from imdb.

[Silver Sable]

While working in the hospital ward, Cletus Cassidy has done the unthinkable; injected Eddie Brock's blood into himself. Spider-Man faces off against possibly his most powerful villain who unlike most of his foes, seeks not power, wealth, or revenge...only carnage!

I don't get it.There changing him from a serial killer to a hospital worker? :huh:

[CaptainStacy]

Those are AWESOME plots but I thought I heard that there wouldn't be any guest stars at least for the first season because they want to establish Spidey on his own? I REALLY hope that outline comes true, but I'll take it with a grain of salt since it did come from imdb.

Yeah, i mean, it's how THEY want it to go, which means very little at this point.

[srm1]

Sounds amazing. Sure hope what you've typed about the plots is true and somebody isn't yanking my chain.

[batman strikes]

Those are AWESOME plots but I thought I heard that there wouldn't be any guest stars at least for the first season because they want to establish Spidey on his own? I REALLY hope that outline comes true, but I'll take it with a grain of salt since it did come from imdb.

I know what your saying k18, I thought the same thing as you did when I’ve first read it over at Imdb.com. So I came to the conclusion that if it doesn’t turn out to be true then it’s either one of two things 1. That it is a complete hoax (a very good one I might add) that someone type up to get us all hype up for this new show and 2. This a real outline that they submitted to the company but it might change due to the studio’s notes and things. Example: like killing Gwen Stacy and the Green Goblin 1.

[Prison Mike]

I hope it's true, but it got me thinking. Wouldn't it be a bit grim to kill off a character on a Saturday morning cartoon? I don't think they can do that, can they? I mean it's ok for a comic book, but very young children watch cartoons on Saturday mornings and they may get scared or something if they see a green goblin kill a woman. If the outline is true, they have to tweak the death storyline a bit.

[Redwoods Wolf]

Sure you can. You just have to have good editors.

[Spiderine]

I hope all that is true. This thing would have every villain under the sun and cameo appearances to boot. And those stories sounds spectacular. This would blow any previous incarnation out of the water. Just think....a Doc Ock vs Green Goblin and Venom and Spidey being hunted by a hypnotized Lizard. Absolutely amazing.....

[Venom.X]

Below is a list of Episode Titles and descriptions I found over at Imdb.com. It's basically an outline for how they want the show to go, but it's not final yet. You can read what the guy at IMDB.com had to say here.

If it seems too good to be true...

There's no telling how much of that will and won't happen. I can't even imagine Kids WB having a series with major plots and character depth and deaths, especially with the shows they have now.

[CaptainStacy]

I hope it's true, but it got me thinking. Wouldn't it be a bit grim to kill off a character on a Saturday morning cartoon? I don't think they can do that, can they? I mean it's ok for a comic book, but very young children watch cartoons on Saturday mornings and they may get scared or something if they see a green goblin kill a woman. If the outline is true, they have to tweak the death storyline a bit.

Batman The Animated Series portrayed the deaths of both Bruce Wayne's and Dick Grayson's parents...

It can be done. It just needs to be done tactfully.

[Spidey-Jason]

I hope we get some official news about this series soon:spidey:

[Prison Mike]

I guess it's possible to show the Gwen Stacy death storyline. It depends on how light the show is, IMO.

[Mr Jide]

According to your post count you're one of the better posters on this board, I'm guessing your opinion carries a lot of weight around here and I'm very interested in the new cartoon coming out and. I'm really interested in others people opinion on this cartoon, please give yours.

LMAO!! :whatever: :o

[Mr Jide]

the spidey market has been completely saturated, it's almost like the transformers one

how many different spidey series cartoons do they really have to make when plenty of great marvel characters are going without any at all...

As many as possible. Spidey is just too popular to be left alone. He's being milked like the family cow and it's not going to stop any time soon Also, this is why other characters wont get their own series/movie or what ever because they're just too obscure to the point where its just not worth the risk.

why not invest in a decent daredevil/elektra series instead?

Well, if DD couldn't even get his own game fully developed why take the risk of giving him an entire series. Marvel would rather milk what they already know is popular. Look at the movies, they've made $billions and thats why spidey is being whored like the local sl-t.

However, other characters have had their own series and animated movies but spidey just has the demand that no other marvel character has and thats because he has mass appeal outside comicbook fans.

[Visionary]

Again, where's the LINK to these story episode synopsis?

And who writes 3 seasons worth of an animated series ideas, not knowing if it will end with the first season? Especially, when the producer says it's all about Spidey in the first season, and not about GUESS appearences. This doesn't sound right to me.

[3dman27]

maybe the producer wants cot concentrate on webhead the first season THEN bring in guest stars like the 90's series did

[The Lizard]

Episode 52: Son of Venom (2)
An unlikely team up with Venom may not be enough to save the city when Carnage infiltrates the raft and shuts off the security. As Spider-Man and Venom engage in battle with Carnage atop the Empire State Building, an army of Spider-Man's allies engage almost every villain he has ever faced. Guest starring Doctor Octopus! Chameleon! Scorpion! Hobgoblin! Electro! Mysterio! Shocker! Sandman! Hydro-Man! Boomerang! Grizzly! Vulture! Beetle! Boomerang! Stegron! Tombstone! The Fantastic Four! The X-Men! The Avengers! Daredevil! Black Cat! Puma! Blade! Dr. Strange! Ghost Rider! She-Hulk!


I'm afraid this seems more like a fanboy wet dream than an actual episode. I think this is another case of someone posting their fantasies as fact on IMDB.

More episodes coming soon!

[dos_acoustic]

there was only one problem i have with this upcoming series. It was what one of the guys said in the interview.

“Our goal is to reinterpret these great characters and concepts for our millennium,”

Hopfully they dont change the characters costumes and stuff to much. Im hoping it will be like BTAS where there wasnt to much change. we will see i guess

[GoldGoblin]

This would be the best series ever,if it was true.

[Spider-ManHero12]

the plot's and episode's sound awesome!!!!!. I'm really looking foward to this animated serie's, I really can't wait to see Venom, the Lizard, Doc Ock, and all the other villian's!. by the way, this show will rock!!!:wow::wow::wow:.

[GoldGoblin]

Do any of you guys see it mentioning Tarantula,because they said he was gonna be in this series?

[Arkady Rossovich]

Batman The Animated Series portrayed the deaths of both Bruce Wayne's and Dick Grayson's parents...

It can be done. It just needs to be done tactfully.

Batman:TAS was done perfectly,if anything the cartoon portrayed Batman even darker than the comics at that time.There was constant refrences to killing,and from what i know..nearly all of the characters were not changed for the cartoon.It was done as it was in the comic.


-Doctor Octopus becomes separated from his tentacles

Doc Ock might have a heart attack if he reads that.

[Marqo]

Yes! Yohooo

[Spidey-Jason]

Sean "Cheeks" Galloway announced that he'll be doing character designs for the new Spider-Man animated series that's coming to KidsWB in '08. He did character designs for the recent Hellboy animated movies.

^^His stuff on deviantart is totally sick!! I just wrote him an email to see if they're hiring for animators yet...here's hoping. :woot:

[O'Haire]

Cheeks. :cool:

Can't wait to see the designs.

[Joker]

Doc Ock might have a heart attack if he reads that.

Why??

It happened in the comics and he was still able to mentally control them whether he was wearing them or not.

[XXTBWCXX]

If they go along with all the episodes and storylines like it says on imdb, then The Amazing Spider-Man will be a great show...and it's from the same people who makes The Batman, and their designs looks good...hopefully they don't change the villains' looks too much though. That's all I'm worrying about.

He's a really good artist, but I don't like this style for the Spider-man series. Though I pretty much expected it to look like this. I guess we'll see what happens.

[GoldGoblin]

You guys have any images of the things that he has drawn?

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Well, a recent episode of The Batman showed the death of Dick Grayson's parents on a Saturday Morning, so with some good editing, it could be done.

[Venom.X]

I recall a little Saturday morning cartoon known as Batman: Gotham Knights. Batgirl's "death". And remember Dan Turpin's death in Superman: the Animated Series?

But yep, I'm thinking deaths are not going to be included in this series.

from this picture of superboy, i reckon spidey/peter is going to look a lot like this, only more nerdy and hopefully with glasses...

[spiderpride]

Galloway is a great artist, but in my opinion its not right to draw spiderman like that.
it would kill alot of the show for me if they would drew the show like that.

[DigificWriter]

I found some concept art designs for the new series (they were posted elsewhere):
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53457929/?q=by%3A2-cents&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps

Personally, I like the design for Gwen, and hope that the final artist's designs keep her nerdy (it'd be a cool take on the character). I also think it'd be interesting to see a slightly 'hipper' take on Peter.

[Venom.X]

http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs15/i/2007/107/a/2/Sidey_concept_art_by_2_Cents.jpg

This art I can take. A load off my mind, I tell ya what.

[Redwoods Wolf]

Interesting. Gwen looks exactly like Debra Whitman, one of Spidey's girlfriends in the 80's.

[CaptainStacy]

http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs15/i/2007/107/a/2/Sidey_concept_art_by_2_Cents.jpg

This art I can take. A load off my mind, I tell ya what.

Not bad. If they play their cards right with the designs, they may even come up with a line of figures to rival the ones they had for the 90's series.

Those 90's figures are only now starting to cool off on the secondary market, and just a BIT at that.

Looking forward to seeing some of the villains.

[Prison Mike]

Nice. Reminds me a lot of Ultimate Spider-Man. The Gwen art is a unique direction since I don't think any version of her has her being nerdy. I can't wait for this show. I hope it has a similar feel to Ultimate Spider-Man.

[Spidey-Jason]

Looks pretty good.:spidey:

[DigificWriter]

These designs are only concept art from someone who didn't get picked to work on the series, but they're still cool since they give us a possible indication of what we'll be seeing in the series. I already said this, but I really like the Gwen design; she looks like classic Peter Parker, but as a girl and with blonde hair.

[Silver Sable]

By the way, 2 Cents is actually Joaquam Dos Santos.

He works on the Justice League cartoon, and has directed a couple episodes.

:)

[KALEBRUCE]

I actually have high hopes for the series. For the concept art, however, I kind of have mixed feelings about it. I know a lot of you like the nerdy Gwen, but I would rather see her as the way she normally is.

[Sawyer]

As a comics purist, I agree with you, Kale. But in a realistic sense, I dont think a semi-geeky Peter would have all the hot chicks coming after him without a few geeky girls, too.

[XXTBWCXX]

http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs15/i/2007/107/a/2/Sidey_concept_art_by_2_Cents.jpg


Mary Jane looks like Mary Jane; can't really change her look much...the girl with the skirt and long red hair, lol.

What's funny is because in the '03 Spider-Man series, they were gonna have Peter wear baggy clothes to hide his muscles, but they couldn't do it money-wise, so seeing Peter with baggy clothes looks okay, more of a twentieth century look.

I like the Spider-Man look...always wanted him to have those big round eyes in the movies, but that never came to be, so hopefully they stick him with those eyes.

The only problem I have is Gwen Stacy...that's not a good look for her, even in a cartoon, :).

[XXTBWCXX]

I agree with everything you said. I guess it kind of sounded as though I didn't like any of the designs on the post I previously posted. But like you, Gwen is about the only problem I had with the concept art.

[Artistsean]

I like it, its not the final version but its good so far. But about Gwen.
In a cartoon it is best do do character designs that are different. If Gwen was made like her comic persona she would be too close to Mary Jane (a supermodel looking woman) they needed to adjust her to give more variation to the line up and characters. So I understand that.
Plus Cheeks designed Hellboy, so you know it will be pretty good.

[Shadow ll]

Well, if its like The Batman, then it wont be a total loss! But lord help me, if they make another gay Spider-Man like that MTV version, Im gonna scream.

[Mr. Socko]

Meh, I wish they didn't make Spider-Man look anorexic. I was hoping for a Spider-Man look somewhere between the films and the 90s tv show.

But this look may grow on me, besides, could be much worse like The Batman. I'm still looking forward to it because it's Spider-Man. Can't wait to see Ock the most.

Anyway, is that the only released picture?

[Guybrush]

Skinny Spidey works ok, I mean this is suppose to be high school Spidey, 90s animated series was set during the college years.

[Abaddon]

They could've toned the geekiness down on Gwen. Like someone said in an earlier post, she looks like Debra Whitman.

[ampersand]

Cheeks is the man. I love his work on the Hellboy cartoons and I love the way he draws Spidey. This should at the very least be a good looking show, even if the story is lame.

[Artistsean]

These are also not the finished product, they wont reveal those till the show is almost out. So they may bulk Spidey up, probably not though, and they may change Gwen.
Anyone remember the very first Cheeks Hellboy design? It was close but sort of different from his final designs. Plus seeing them in action will show how they designs will really look and work. I hated Legion until I saw them animated.

nice although i wish they would have used a bulky spidey....

you're supposed to be unaware that he is a child and spiderman in that pic looks like a pre-puberty lil boy in a halloween costume.

not sure of the pale reds and blue either, they should be much brighter and i'm not sure of the overly black eyes either.

MJ is nailed

Gwen is a lil too nerdy for my liking but maybe she comes out of her shell later on as the series progresses...

like peter's look although i don't think he could pull off that outfit if he had glasses on.
who knows...

[GoldGoblin]

MJ is the only one that looks right.

[da3dl3us]

Why can't Greg Weisman animated the show a la Gargoyles style instead off this overly stylistic stuff?

Or even better, timverse style!

[The Joker]

oh god...it's The Batman all over again...crappy anime style animations, characters that look nothing like there comic counter parts...seeing as it's being based off USM to a degree, why not just do it Bag's style? That would translate great to animation, but instead, we get Nerd Gwen, Anorexic Peter, and giant eye anime girl MJ...

[Visionary]

These are not the official designs people, they're from another artist who didn't get the job. (<--page 7)

The guy who is doing it, seem to have various artistic styles. I wonder what he'll come up with.

Is that what the new show is gonna look like?:csad:

[Joker]

Considering the extremely cartoony style of this animation, Ock looks pretty decent. I'll accept it.

Venom just looks ludicrous.

[November Rain]

wow, i'm not really one to normally hate something without any real judgement on them but those pictures on a whole kinda suck.

where they done by the same artist who did the original mj/pete/spidey/gwen lineup

[Venom.X]

Wow, cool! Those Spider-Man caricatures sure are novelty!

Now, where is Cheek's real artwork?

[spdrknight]

He hasn't posted any of the work he's been doing on the show yet. All that other stuff, up above, is older material.

[The Joker]

if it looks like that, this show will be WORSE than The Batman and Fantastic Four put together...

[November Rain]

hey, the batman has been of a very high quality this season, why the hate?

[The Joker]

Why all the hate? More like "where to start."

1. Crappy american anime. The character designs are all awful. Robin's huge head is stupid, everyones costume sucks, Batman looks like Jackie Chan from Jackie Chan Adventures. The Riddler looks like Marilyn Manson, Joker doesnt wear shoes.

2. Horrible characterization. The Penguin calling himself "the oz-man" and acting like a spoiled brat crook. Also, what's up with his two totally off theme hench girls?

3. Shallow plots with glaring holes. If Batman already has a giant bet-mecha, why does he not always use his giant bat-mecha? Riddlers riddles are right up there with the ones from the 60's series in every episode he's in.

It's just a BAD show.

[CaptainStacy]

Meh...it's a bit....quirkier than i was hoping for. But not in a creepy-cool Steve Ditko way, but more of an abstract Humberto Ramos way...I see they're using the Ultimate version of Doc Ock for inspiration...that Venom is horrendous, imo.

This is the guy who works on the current Batman cartoon? It will probably look better in motion, i guess. What is it with him and bare feet? His version of the Joker looks like an albino, shoeless rasta-man, lol....

A bit disappointed on first view....have to wait and see more, then maybe check the show out.

[SLYspyder]

I wish people would stop with the "based on USM" talk just because Peter's 16.

Guess what guys? He was 16 in the regular universe also.

And after what I read in the article from the guy in charge of this whole thing, he gave a good impression that this is based off the classic stuff.

[da3dl3us]

God, this looks like a Gorillaz music video.

If they're going to do classic storyline, should the animation have some, class?

[The Joker]

people are saying it's based off USM because he's 16, going out with Mary Jane, and it's set in modern times...in the 616 MJ, Harry, Flash, and Gwen weren't supporting characters until he was in college. He had the Bugle staff and was dating Betty Brant in High School. So it does seem to be leaning towards more of a USM vibe.

[Visionary]

True, but even though he's 16, you know they have to have MJ, Harry, Gwen as supporting characters regardless...even in high school, it's a must. No way would they start the show out with Peter dating Betty Brant.

[da3dl3us]

http://www.popcultureshock.com/timm/gallery/1156.jpg

This would be awesome.

If only Bruce Timm could do this.

[Spideys#1fan]

Maybe a combination of USM and Amazing.

I'm not into that animation though. :(

Why do people think that these are the real designs, when the real designs are not even online yet?If only Bruce Timm could do this.As much as I love the Batman cartoon, I don't want Spidey's designs looking like the Batman and Superman animated series.

[The Bruce]

First they f-up the movies and now we get this crap???! Do they hate Spidey :huh:

[Mr. Socko]

How do we know those are real? I looked at the link and those are hosted on deviant art...


But if they are real, they're atrocious. I liked it back in the 60s and 90s series when everyone had the right proportion and looked like actual humans instead of having leg's the same size as Spongebob's like in this. And wtf, Venom looks like clayface!

[Lunar_Wolf]

Why does Venom look like ****? His hands are floating, I mean they are not even attached to his forarms. And whats up with that stupid Spider-Man on his back? And why is he purple? What a load of crap.

Doc Ock looks good.

[Joker]

Is that a giant insect on Venom's back? :dry:

[Redwoods Wolf]

I think that's supposed to be the back part of his wraparound spider emblem. But the drawing is so...stylized you can't even tell what it is.

[Mr. Socko]

Venom looks like a chunk of ****, and like Wolf said, why are his hands floating away from his body, why is he so big, and why does he look like clayface....

Not to even mention that his mouth is open and there's no tongue.

[UltimateJustin]

Those drawings have nothing to do with the art direction for this show. Greg Weisman created the single greatest non-Batman animated series of all time in Gargoyles. He is planning everything out to create an interesting, faithful first season that he wants to be the iconic version of a property that he clearly knows and respects. Your nostalgia aside, will be better than 90's Spiderman.

I hope your right.

[Lunar_Wolf]

I hope we see something better or as good as the 90's cartoon. I don't like the idea of people trying to make something different for the sake of it. They have the history with the comics, make it work. There's no excuse to make the new show lame. SM Unlimited sucked and so did MTV Spider-Man IMO.

I don't like artists changing character looks or traits for the sake of it. They should change them if they know it's an improvement over the original. Remember Spider-Man MTV the way Harry had blonde hair?....Why? To be different? Yeah it was different and it sucked raccoon anus. Spider-Man unlimited, you took Spider-Man out of the environment we all know and tossed him into space....Why? It wasn't fun. Look at Ultimate Spider-Man, it's different, but the same environments and the spirit of Spider-Man is in it. Hey somethings I even preferred to 616. If your going to change something make sure it's for a good reason and that it works.

[Redwoods Wolf]

Well, with Spidey Unlimited they couldn't have any traditional setting or characters until the movie came out (don't ask me why), so around their third season, he would have gone back to earth and met up with MJ--coincidentally around the film's release. But their hands were tied in that respect.

[weezerspider]

[Mr. Socko]

Ok guys, here's a little update:


Those pictures and artwork are FAN WORK, they were created by an artist on the internet. The show will look nothing like that. I emailed him and he said he has no clue why people think they're from the new TV show. If you want to contact him, look up cheeks-74 on Deviant Art.

Btw guys, I don't know why someone would post those pictures in this thread and completely lie to us saying it's artwork from the show when they just pulled it off of DA.

Maybe they were mistaken? Doesn't the artist who drew Hellboy have the name cheeks also?

But nevertheless, a relief. Let's hope they take it more towards the 90's style.

Ok guys, here's a little update:


Those pictures and artwork are FAN WORK, they were created by an artist on the internet. The show will look nothing like that. I emailed him and he said he has no clue why people think they're from the new TV show. If you want to contact him, look up cheeks-74 on Deviant Art.

Btw guys, I don't know why someone would post those pictures in this thread and completely lie to us saying it's artwork from the show when they just pulled it off of DA.

Thank you for clarifying,mate.

That's encouraging. Has he said anything about when we can expect to see some official samples?

Thanks the heads up.
Do you know if Peter, MJ and Gwen art is real?

Those pictures I posted are FAN WORK. But they are fan work BY Sean "CHEEKS" Galloway, the art designer for the new show. No, they aren't designs made for the show, but they are done by the same guy. I never said it was from the show, I just said that they were pics of Spidey drawn by cheeks. Stop being such an ass.

By the way, those of you who hate those Spidey pictures can find a better representation of how Cheek's art translates into animation by watching the animated Hellboy films. It worked well there and I have confidence that it will work well with Spider-man.

Yeah, but you had to know people were going to be saying "OMG, I can't believe the new show is going to be like this".

Well all aside... i personally do not like those FAN ART drawings. i'm sure he's capable of much better, but those are not to my taste, for lack of better words.

Yeah, I did know that people were going to assume that the new show would look similar, but I didn't expect a negative reaction. I think cheeks is a fantastic artist whose work translates very well into animation. Hell, even Mike Mignola agrees, as he was one of the people who had to approve him for the Hellboy animated films. I don't really understand the hate for cheeks' style. Oh well.

[Visionary]

Sean "CHEEKS" Galloway style of Spidey having a really skinny body with big feet just looks weird. It's too (dare I say) cartoony and quirky in a juvenile sort of way. No one would question the way Sponge Bob Square-Pants looks, because it's meant for little kids, not teens/adults. There's no reason why Spider-Man's designs should look like HELLBOYS animated series/films either. Spider-Man's new series should have it own look, where the character's body parts actually look like they belong to human beings, and definitely not the trite Anime style.

Let's hope Sean "CHEEKS" Galloway can come up with something a lot better than his throwaway art and something a lot more cool for a 08' animated Spidey series. :cool:

[venom892]

if those plot outlines are anything like the actual show then we are in for the best Spider-man adaptation of all time movies or cartoon.But I hope the animation is not what was shown on previous pages.I think spidey can be better off without incorrect anatomy.

[GoldGoblin]

That Venom looks worse than the "Spider-Man Unlimited" version of Venom.

[Visionary]

That it does...and that ain't right.

[Rez]

Why does SM Unlimited get so much hate around here? The show kicked ass, and, oh, boo hoo- it wasn't a direct adaptation of issues of comic books. I thought that maybe because I hadn't seen it in a while I was remembering it more fondly- but I recently rewatched the whole thing and it was even better than I remembered. The pilot, World's Apart, is fantastic, and there's a slew of other really great episodes in it too- Most notably X-51's introduction episode and the One is the Lonliest Number dealing with Eddie Brock's addiction to the symbiote. It was full of a lot of high concept storylines- some of which have since been more or less entire plots for major summer blockbusters. The show was definately ahead of it's time(much like the excellent shortlived Cadillacs & Dinosaurs), and I have a feeling a lot of you bash it based on- what? Because Carnage looked like a skeleton? You should really give it a chance again. It's easily as good as the 90's series, and considering it's a direct sequal to it, it's nice to watch.

Just wish they had the chance to solve all the mysteries and cliffhangers.

[Visionary]

No thanks, I'll pass. ;)
