Being a big fan of Cartoon Network's goofy Batman: The Brave and the Bold, I'm really looking forward to the debut of Marvel's Super Hero Squad. The show premieres Sept. 19 on Cartoon Network, and Marvel has already launched a teaser site featuring a fun video preview that could turn out to be the show's opening montage. Super Hero Squad is based on the toy line and video game of the same name. It features cute and cuddly versions of Marvel heroes, like Wolverine, Iron Man, and the Hulk, protecting Super Hero City from a pint-sized Dr. Doom and other baby baddies. Judging by the preview video, the show will even make room for kid-sized versions of more obscure characters like Fing Fang Foom and MODOK.
This is definitely a light and breezy show meant for the kiddos, but like The Brave and the Bold, I'm sure it'll be able to attract older geeks and comic book fans. It has an amazing cast, including Tricia Helfer as Black Cat, Mark Hamill as Red Skull, James Marsters as Mr. Fantastic, Levar Burton as Rhodey, and Stan "The Man" Lee himself as the mayor of Super Hero City.
What do you say, Marvel fans? Are you ready to "Hero Up"?

No. NO NO NO! No more 1960's style Batman. No more toddler friendly Wolverine. No more smiling Hulk. Sounds like Disney started working early on this new Bastardization!
