Its about time I saw the early attempt at an Avengers cartoon in the 90′s and it was lack luster. The problem was it was missing the core of the team like Thor, Captain America and Iron Man. That’s like Thanksgiving with no Turkey. Hopefully this will be Marvels answer to the Justice League cartoon. The DC Animated Universe is the gold standard in animated superheros, starting with Batman: TAS to Justice League Unlimited. Before anybody emails me, I loved the the animated X-men series at the time, but I always felt like it was good, but it could have been so much better. Hopefully this Avengers cartoon will raise the bar on Marvel animation.

Marvel Animation, the cartoon division of Marvel Entertainment, is beginning production on “The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes,” the company’s latest animated series.
Film Roman, the company behind “The Simpsons” and “King of the Hill,” has been tapped to produce the 26-episode series, which will be available for broadcast in 2011, in time for Marvel Studios’ releases of the tentpole live-action movies “The First Avenger: Captain America” and “The Avengers.”
“Avengers,” based on the long-running comic, features some of the company’s most popular characters, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Giant Man, and the comely Wasp, who fight forces of evil that no single hero stands a chance against.
