Paul Dini Redefines Ultimate Spider-Man
Paul Dini, known and beloved for his extensive work on shows like Batman the Animated Series, is going to work on redefining Peter Parker for the upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man animated series according to MTV. The article does a nice round up of the Ultimate Spider-Man news so far, including an explanation of Man of Action’s (the Generator Rex guys) role on the series.
Here’s a quote from Dini that seems to summarize the entire interview:
You also don’t want to repeat the same old tropes. As much as I love elements of Spider-Man’s past, I don’t really want to go back in and retell the Gwen Stacy and Green Goblin story in animation just so I can do my take on it. I don’t want to redo the first Spider Slayer story. I don’t want to redo some of those classic Lee/Romita and Lee/Ditka stories just for the sake of seeing them rendered in animation. For now, I just want to approach Spider-Man with fresh eyes, taking a few things we know about him and just doing a new spin on the concept. I think old-time fans will find what we’ve done with the character to be pretty good and thoughtful, because we’re not out to junk-up Spider-Man. That’s not our intent.
