Warner Bros have announced a new animated version of Spider-Man, due to premiere on The CW’s Kids WB! strand in early 2008.
Entitled The Spectacular Spider-Man, the series will follow the character of Peter Parker at the beginning of his journey into a superhero as a 16-year-old.
Kids' WB! Senior Vice President and General Manager Betsy McGowen said: "The use of the 'Spectacular' title is an 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."
Greg Weisman, who previously worked on Gargoyles, will be the supervising producer, whilst Culver Entertainment is set to produce.
