Another press release
An all-new animated television series, The Spectacular Spider-Man
premieres Saturday, March 8 with back-to-back episodes airing at 10:00
a.m. and 10:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Kids' WB! on The CW.
The 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.
Peter Parker must conceal his secret identity and confront the
multi-leveled pressures of teenage life at home and school, while
combating more menacing super villains than ever before.
The Spectacular Spider-Man is produced by Culver
Entertainment, a Sony Pictures Television Company.
The first season of The Spectacular Spider-Man will air for 12
consecutive weeks on Kids' WB! on The CW.
A second season is now in production.
The episode synopses for Saturday, March 8:
In "Survival of the Fittest" (10:00 a.m. ET/PT), summer is over for
Peter Parker and school's ready to start -- both literally (it's his
junior year of high school), and in the real world of crime-fighting
-- as Spider-Man faces his first real challenge (The Enforcers) and
his first real super-villain (Vulture). Victor Cook directed the
script, which was written by Greg Weisman. Robert Englund ("A
Nightmare on Elm Street") provides the voice of Vulture.
In "Interactions" (10:30 a.m. ET/PT), Peter Parker and Spider-Man both
try to make connections. Nerdy Pete attempts to tutor the popular Liz
Allan, while Spidey reaches out to stop a new menace: Electro. Alanna
Ubach ("Legally Blonde," "Waiting") and popular video game and
voiceover specialist Crispin Freeman provide the voices of Liz Allan
and Electro, respectively. Troy Adomitis directed the script by Kevin
Hopps.
