Don't forget to set your alarms, dvrs, vcrs, etc. Superhero Saturday begins tomorrow. Here's all the information that's been sent to me.
At 10:00 a.m., it's the world broadcast premiere of "The Spectacular Spider-Man" – with back-to-back episodes entitled "Survival of the
Fittest" and "Interactions."
At 11:00 a.m., "The Batman" ends its award-winning, five-year run with a special one-hour television movie event, "The Batman: Lost Heroes."
And before the aforementioned premiere and finale, "Legion of Super Heroes" returns in its new timeslot at 9:30 a.m. with a new episode -- appropriately entitled "In the Beginning."
One quick reminder – pulling your own screengrabs is frowned upon by Kids' WB!/The CW, Culver Entertainment/Sony, Marvel and Warner Bros. Animation.
Episode synopses for Saturday, March 8:
9:30 a.m. – Legion of Super Heroes – "In the Beginning"While on a mission to rescue the Legion's benefactor, R.J. Brande, our

10:00 a.m. – The Spectacular Spider-Man – "Survival of the Fittest"In "Survival of the Fittest," 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

written by Greg Weisman.
