FANTASTIC FOUR Arrives On The Cartoon Network!!

I am – Hercules!!

This one is said to have been rendered anime-style. Some fans did not enjoy the anime when it was grafted onto Teen Titans, but the “Fantastic Four” animated series couldn’t possibly be any worse than the movie, could it? (At least with the cartoon we’ll presumably get a Thing who’s taller than Sue Storm.)

Find a tiny bit of the series’ artwork here.

Look! Plotlines!

"TRIAL BY FIRE," airing Saturday, Sept 2 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 9 at 11 a.m.

Johnny is put on trial for crimes against the Kree Empire by Ronan the Accuser after destroying the latest in a line of Kree Sentries, alien robots that have been observing the Fantastic Four. When Johnny chooses Reed as his lawyer, Ben and Susan take the stand in Johnny's defense. But defending Johnny's reckless behavior is tougher than they thought, especially when the accused is presumed guilty before the trial even starts.

"DOOMED," airing Saturday, Sept. 9 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 16 at 11 a.m.

Doctor Doom hacks into Reed's consciousness, transferring his mind into Reed's body. Now trapped inside Doom's body, Reed must fight his way back to his family and friends before Doom transforms the Baxter Building into a weapon that could wipe out the Fantastic Four and half of the city.

"DOOMSDAY," airing Saturday, Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 23 at 11 a.m.

When Reed is accused of having purposefully exposed Susan, Johnny and Ben to the cosmic rays that transformed them into the Fantastic Four, the team is torn apart. But as Susan, Johnny and Ben individually wonder if Reed is capable of such a betrayal, they're attacked by the mastermind behind the plot against Reed -- Doctor Doom. Now the team has to escape Doom's prisons in order to save Reed and prevent Doom from plunging the city into the Negative Zone.

"HARD KNOCKS," airing Saturday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 30 at 11 a.m.

When an old friend of Reed's shows up looking for help, the Fantastic Four are in for the fight of their lives. His name is Bruce Banner, and he has a terrible secret -- he's the Incredible Hulk. And when Banner Hulks out and goes on a rampage through New York City, it¹s up to the FF to stop him.

"MY NEIGHBOR WAS A SKRULL," airing Saturday, Sept. 30 at 8 p.m.

No synopsis currently available.

Now we’ll get to hear what Sorkin’s dialogue really sounds like coming out of Lauren Graham’s mouth when she guest-stars as herself as the guest-host on “Studio 60.” Two episodes!
