I don’t know whether to be excited about this or horrified. On one hand, Black Panther (arguably one of the oldest and best black superheroes) is getting an animated series! YES! On the other hand, it’s going to be on BET (arguably the worst thing to happen to black culture since Jim Crow). NO! I hate BET so much that I removed it from the auto-program on my TV. I’ve never been so torn in all of my life.

According to Variety:

Marvel Comics has signed a deal to turn one of its superheroes, the Black Panther, into a primetime animated series for BET, starting early next year.

BET made the announcement at its upfront presentation in New York as the highlight of a batch of new series being readied for the 2008-09 season, under the supervision of Reginald Hudlin, president of entertainment for BET.

This is going to be either very, very good or very, very bad. I guess we’ll have to wait and see! For more info, check out: BET cages ‘Black Panther’ - Entertainment News, TV News, Media - Variety
