With the hugely anticipated release of Spider-Man 3 only two months away, the CW announced Thursday that Marvel's arachnid-friendly superhero is swinging back to the small screen via a new cartoon series that will premiere in early 2008.
Tentatively titled The Amazing Spider-Man, the animated show will air as part of the network's top-rated Saturday morning Kids' WB! programming block.
"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," trumpets Betsy McGowen, senior vice president and general manager of the Kids WB!
The Amazing Spider-Man will be set at the start of the web-slinger's crime-fighting career, focusing on a teenage Peter Parker trying to adjust to his newfound super powers—and junior year of high school—while trading blows and barbs with the likes of the Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Sandman, Venom, Tarantula, Mysterio, Lizard and Kingpin.
