Saturday Morning Cartoon Viewing

There are two hours of cartoons I'd like to watch tomorrow morning. But with everything Heather has got planned for this upcoming weekend I'm not sure how feasible my idea of watching a hour of the new Spider-Man cartoon followed by the hour-long The Batman series finale will actually be.

Starting at 10am on KidsWB we get back-to-back episodes of the new show The Spectacular Spider-Man. I've watched a short preview, read some reviews, and have checked out some of the art. It looks like it might be a fun series to watch. Spider-Man always seems to translate to animation well. I've yet to see anyone really screw it up.

Then at 11am the series finale of The Batman is airing on KidsWB. After five seasons WB is closing up shop on The Batman with an extra long episode that guest-stars most of the Justice League.

I've gotten to watch episodes of The Batman sporadically over the course of its run, and have always enjoyed the fresh take on the character. I'd love to see how the creative team wraps things up.
