Black Panther Cartoon in Development
Spider-Man and the X-Men are almost always on television in one animated form of another. Heck, even iron Man is getting an animated series these days. Can’t we see new characters getting a shot at animated success instead of the same old same old?
Apparently, we can. During BET’s network upfront presentation, it was announced that a Black Panther animated series will debut on the channel in the future.
No information was given as to when we can expect to see the series or what it will be like, but considering Reginald Huldin is BET’s president of entertainment and also the current writer for the Black Panther comic series, the character should be in good hands.

Sounds promising. I'm old enough to have read the Panther's very first appearance in the Fantastic Four comic book. Been a fan ever since. Years ago, when there was talk of a movie starring Wesley Snipes(I think this was even before the Blade films), I was cheering from the sidelines. I don't know what the status of that project is these days, what with Snipes' IRS problems.
