Vulture News

This post relates to: Vulture, Spider-Man

This is so fitting.  The Vulture should have a sort of raspy/Freddy Krueger type voice.  I'm sure he won't go full on Freddy but it should be good.  Saturday is just looking better and better.  It's a good sign when you know they're using real talent for the voices.

Robert Englund ("A Nightmare on Elm Street") voices the Vulture, the first super villain to appear in the all-new series "The Spectacular Spider-Man," which premieres Saturday, March 8 at 10:00 a.m. ET/PT on Kids' WB! on The CW.

I'm starting to get some more information sent to me about this.  It always sucks when there's a great series only to have it end.  Yes we've had some really good Spider-Man series before.  Here we're getting yet another incarnation.  Is that good or bad?  The good thing is you're there from the beginning.  You don't have to worry if you missed that really cool first fight between Spidey and ________ (insert your favorite villain).  To me it's almost a slap in the face of the previous versions.  It almost feels like they're sayin, "You weren't good enough to make it before.  We're starting over and ignoring your existence."   I should just be happy to be getting new Spidey adventures, right? 

It will be interesting to see what angle they use.  We've seen that Gwen is alive along with Harry.  Eddie Brock appears to be a character too so that means Venom should show up sometime.  Wonder how they'll introduce the symbiote this time.  So I will be there watching with my little girl, experiencing these new adventures.   I can't wait. 

Check out the Vulture.  Voiced by Robert Englund?  Alright!

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.
