THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN: "THE INVISIBLE HAND"
Kids' WB! has released an image and description from "The Invisible Hand," Saturday's new episode of The Spectacular Spider-Man.
Here's how the network describes the episode:
"Peter Parker struggles
to get a date for the Fall Formal, and to figure out a way to pay for it. Meanwhile, the unstoppable Rhino -- the latest of the Big Man's creations -- has sworn vengeance on Spider-Man. Spidey takes the battle directly to the source of his troubles, the previously invisible hand, who has been secretly conducting his villain-of-the-week attacks. But the Big Man offers a surprising solution to Spidey's problems, a tempting offer he doesn't think our hero can afford to refuse. Will Spidey do the right thing?"
The episode was written by Matt Wayne and directed by David Bullock. Clancy Brown, the voice of Lex Luthor in Superman and Justice League, provides the voice of Rhino.
