Introducing Spider-Man News, the best place online for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'

Surprise! The major redesign of Batman News wasn’t the only thing I’ve been working on for the past few months. When I went to Blazer Six to help me with Batman News, one of the major goals I presented them with was to create a new website template that I could easily customize and reuse for any website I wanted to start. I decided it was time to create a new website for Spider-Man fans, and with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 just beginning to shoot — now was the time to launch. Spider-Man News has all the cool features of the new Batman News, from its responsive design to crystal clear “Retina ready” graphics.

I’ve been a Batman fan my whole life, but Spider-Man has always been my second favorite superhero. Now I’ll admit, I’m not as knowledgeable about Spider-Man as I am about Batman… I couldn’t have done this alone. So I asked the biggest Spider-Man fan I know to help me out. I was pleased when Josh Wilding agreed, and even happier to hear that he was excited about this as I was. Josh has been writing at Comic Book Movie for years, and is currently in their Hall of Fame with over 5,900 articles published since 2009. Comic Book Movie gets a bad rap sometimes due to the fact that they let anyone publish articles… but if you follow the great writers like Josh, you’ll be treated to high quality work and the latest news from reliable sources. Josh has been a Spider-Man fan since for as long as he can remember, and he even got to interview The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb at a press event last summer.

So what can you expect from Spider-Man News? If you’ve been a Batman News reader you already know the answer. We’ll be bringing you up-to-date news, photos, and videos surrounding The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Josh will be covering Spider-Man comics as well. Be sure to “Like” us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter and Google+ for all the latest. There’s been some big news over the past few weeks, so be sure to explore the site to catch up. I hope you’ll come back often and make Spider-Man News your #1 source for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Interesting way to branch off from Batman-News. No interest in Man of Steel?

  There definitely is an interest. I’ve got big plans for the years to come.

    I’ve been meaning to ask if you know of any sites like yours for Man of Steel.

      I don’t, but Superman News is probably next! Maybe in a year or so.

      I’m with both of you guys! Man of Still is my most anticipated movie this year.

  A Man of Steel one would be cool as well.

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person on the internet who loved Amazing Spiderman. I guess this means I’m not?

  I liked it! I think Andrew Garfield is a much better Peter Parker/Spider-Man… though Spider-Man 1 overall probably had a stronger story. I’m really excited for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, though!

    I thought the casting for every single role was better than the others.
    
    And I loved the tone. I thought it was right in the middle, a perfect mix of Avengers’ comic book style and Dark Knight’s dark grounded realism.
    
    I find it odd that everybody holds a grudge against the new movie because all I remember from the first movie is people hating it too because of organic shooters, bad CGI and Green Goblin looking like a Power Ranger. Now everybody is acting like that movie was Citizen Kane and nobody should ever dare make another Spiderman movie!

  Nope, you’re not alone. There’s a brazillian dude who comments over CBM.com. He is so in love with TASM that makes him looks ridiculous! His nickname is iJack Sparrow. LOL
  
  You’ve not asked my opinion, but i will tell you anyway – i think TASM was a letdown, an average plot-flawed movie, and that SpiderMan deserved much more on film. But i’ve better hopes for the sequel. I must! LOL

    That’s not me because I hated the Pirates movies.
    
    Not to sound TOO snarky, haha, but YOU having hope is why MY hopes are quite low for the sequel. I’m afraid they’ve put TOO much stock in the criticism and they’ve made changes in an effort to please people they have no chance to ever please. Millions upon millions of people obviously liked the movie, it made over 750 million.
    
    This isn’t about you, I don’t know you. But the majority of people I DO know that didn’t like TAS didn’t like it the second it was announced. They hated it simply because it existed. They hated it before a director was announced. They hated it before an actor was cast. Many of them hate it without even seeing it and many watched it just so they could hate it more. This is by far my biggest pet peeve about the internet. The people who no longer give a movie a chance. We now live in a world where movies are judged based on rumors and script leaks. “I think you should wait longer before making this movie, therefore your movie sucks.”
    
    But also, the sequel is introducing 3 villains, Harry Osborn and MJ. Is this thing 4 hours long? I’m concerned.
    
    BTW…I think if people didn’t see TAS in IMAX 3D, you did not see the movie. That movie worked so great in that format, it was one of the best movie going experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve got it in 3D at home but it’s just not the same.

      I agree with you in parts. Well, you described me the world of the blind idiotic geek fanboydom whom infest the internet, yeah – it’s a real ignorance plague out there, no doubt! You can’t debate reason against blind faith shiite ignorance. Simply doesn’t work.
      
      The part i disagree with ya is – that the technique used in a movie doesn’t matter. If the script is weakly written, doesn’t matter if you made the movie in fuckmax 4D whatever, it won’t save a movie. But If you have a nice, tight, sharp script with a great storytelling, then even if you made a movie using lolipop sticks, it would work anyway! It’s all about the script IMO.
      
      I don’t liked the story told in TASM. The script had so many useless micro-plots that lead to nowhere. I don’t really care about Peter’s parents, i think this is pure BS. They destroyed my favorite Spidey villain: the Lizard – he hasn’t no real conflict at all, his complexity, his Jekyll/Hyde essence was supressed and his visual was terrible. I mean, WTF? That’s why i didn’t like TASM.
      
      And yes – i was being polite about the sequel. I’m concerned too! LOL

  You are not alone my friend. I think AMS is much better then Raimi’s Spidey 1, but ‘Spider-Man 2’ IMO still the best Spider-Man movie made.

Ratman approves this site as long as the quality of Batman-news won’t decrease.

I really liked what they tried to do with TASM, the approach and such. It was just incredibly unsatisfying to me as a film, with a weak script, shoddy editing and a stuttering feel. Still as I said, I liked what they tried to do with the universe, bringing in the classic quippy Spider humor and setting it all in a less clear cut and more toned down world. So I’m still very hopeful for TASM 2, love the casting so far and now they just need to deliver a better script and a more confident direction. It feels good that the origin story is out of the way, bring on more Spidey!

Chris! The experience and the waiting for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ would have not been the same without your website. I always wanted the same thing for Spidey, but i couldn’t find anything similar. So I got all my Spidey News form Comic Book Movie. And now I’m reading that you and Josh are making this! I couldn’t thank you two enough. Thanks !
Josh

Btw, will thet be anyone reviewing the comics? Normally, I’d suggest Andrew, but he’s busy with enough batman as is. Is there anyone to review superior spiderman?

  I’m hoping to review both ‘Avenging’ and ‘Superior’ for the site! :)

The Amazing Spider-Man is my favorite Spider-Man film and one of the best comic book movie origins we’ve got so far in my opinion, next to Batman Begins and Iron Man. Really excited about the sequel and I love that we have a new venue to get news from Spidey, from movies and comics alike. The design of this place is also killing it.

  Thank you! It mirrors the new redesign of BatmanNews.com. It automatically scales down to tablets and smartphones too.
