More Black Cat images continue to trickle in from The CW and The Kids’ WB! This time, the images are accompanied by comments from Matt Wayne, writer for the episode entitled Persona.
In the episode, Spider-Man learns the hard way not to judge a book by its cover when another Spider-Man starts making headlines … as a crook! It’s the Chameleon, master of disguise, looting the city and laying the blame at Spidey’s feet. The Web-Slinger is forced to team up with another crook, the lovely Black Cat, to stop his foe’s faux-Spidey crime spree and clear his name. Along the way, Spider-Man inadvertently comes in contact with an alien symbiote that dramatically alters our hero’s color scheme … and begins to mess with his mind.
With characters and events moving full force on The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon series airing Saturday’s on the Kids’ WB! on the CW, it was only a matter of time before we see the likes of Black Cat and that space goo that eventually turns into Venom appear.
The first hints happen this Saturday (May 17, 2008), and the CW has sent Major Spoilers the first few images from the show.
Acclaimed animation writer Kevin Hopps offers his third script of the “The Spectacular Spider-Man” season in “The Uncertainty Principle,” an all-new episode premiering Saturday, May 10 at 10:00 a.m. ET/PT on Kids’ WB!/The CW.
Hopps has worked in the animated realm for nearly two decades, amassing a lengthy list of writing credits that ranges from “Darkwing Duck,” “Buzz Lightyear of Star Command” and “Loonatics Unleashed” to the “Justice League,” “Hellboy: Blood & Iron” and “Transformers: Animated.” He has drafted four scripts for the first season of “The Spectacular Spider-Man” – “Interactions” featuring the debut of Electro; “Competition,” which introduced Sandman; “The Uncertainty Principle,” the Green Goblin’s second starring role; and the series’ first season finale.
Hopps took time away from his work on several second-season scripts to discuss his work in the first season and, in particular, this weekend’s “The Uncertainty Principle.” You’ll find a few new images from the episode attached to this email, along with a small head shot of Kevin Hopps.

You might think from the title of the post, that we’re trying to attract the adult gonzo crowd, but I can assure you that while I do enjoy hanging around the hotties, the title of this post, just so happens to be the title to Sean Galloway’s 2008 hardback art book.
Who is Sean Galloway, and why does his art look familiar?

Writer Randy Jandt makes his “The Spectacular Spider-Man” debut with a tight, exciting, frequently funny script that offers Doctor Octopus entrée into the series this Saturday, May 3 in the all-new episode, “Reaction.” The episode, directed by Jennifer Coyle, premieres at 10:00 a.m. ET/PT on Kids’ WB! on The CW.
In the episode, the nebbishy Dr. Otto Octavius is painfully transformed – by the meddling hands of the Green Goblin – into the menacing Doctor Octopus. The newest villain to hit town, Doc Ock releases his initial anger on Norman Osborne before turning his attention toward Spider-Man as the pair battle for the ultimate power source to Doc Ock’s extended limbs.
Jandt took a few moments this week to answer three quick questions regarding his thought process in penning the script for the episode.
The next time you drop the “I’m too busy” excuse for some undone deed, consider the career of Peter MacNicol.
Over the past year, MacNicol could be found pulling the unheard-of simultaneous double duty as a core cast member in two hit primetime television series – “24″ and “Numb3rs” – and was still able to devote an afternoon every other week to creating the voice of Dr. Otto Octavius and his villainous flipside, Doctor Octopus (aka Doc Ock), for the breakout animated series, “The Spectacular Spider-Man.”
