Check out this snapshot of the modern golden age of animation; the staff of Tiny Toon Adventures, drawn by Bruce Timm in 1990. Timm and Paul Dini would, of course, go on to create Batman: The Animated Series and, subsequently, the DC Animated Universe, which is still going strong (the full-length feature Justice League: Doom is set for release in 2012), and others in this crew would later work at Spumco, Pixar, and on The Simpsons.

Well, this looks like it's shaping up nicely. Disney XD released this promotional image of their forthcoming Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, from the supergroup of Paul Dini, Brian Michael Bendis, Joe Kelly, Steve Seagle, Joe Casey and Duncan Rouleau.

He'll be here in 2012 - even if we won't dun dun DUN...!

No, but I'm ridiculously excited for this. I mean, you had me at "Ultimate Spider-Man" and "Dini."
