At a presentation held in [[New York City]] in April 2008, BET announced that it had signed a deal with Marvel Comics to turn [[Black Panther (comics)|Black Panther]] into a primetime half-hour animated series. In July 2008 at [[San Diego Comic-Con]], the first footage of the series was shown publicly, indicating that the series was essentially just [[motion comic]] versions of the mini-series released by Marvel Comics.<ref name="IGN">{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2008/08/02/first-look-at-bets-black-panther|title=First Look at BET's Black Panther|website=IGN |date=2008-08-01 |access-date=2020-06-07}}</ref>

The show was supervised by [[Reginald Hudlin]] (President of Entertainment at BET), Eric S. Rollman (President of Marvel Animation) and [[John Romita, Jr.]], writer and artist, respectively, of the [[story arc]] of the Black Panther comic entitled "Who is the Black Panther?", on which the first six episodes were based.<ref>{{cite web |author=Brothers, David |title='Black Panther' Finally Lands on DVD – Was It Worth the Wait? |url=http://comicsalliance.com/black-panther-dvd-animated/ |publisher=[[ComicsAlliance]]|date= January 25, 2011}}</ref><ref name="IGN" /><ref>{{cite news|url= https://variety.com/2008/tv/news/bet-cages-black-panther-1117984203/| work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | title=BET cages 'Black Panther' | first=John | last=Dempsey | date=2008-04-17 | access-date=2020-06-07}}</ref> Only subtle deviations from the comic exist, such as replacing [[Rhino (comics)|Rhino]] with [[Juggernaut (comics)|Juggernaut]].

Black Panther is an American motion comic[1][2][3][4][5] and television series by Marvel Knights Animation, based on the Marvel Comics superhero of the same name. It was the first animated television series produced by BET since Hey Monie!. Each of the six episodes of the series was 20 minutes in length.

The series was broadcast on the Australian children's channel ABC Me (formerly ABC3) in January 2010[6] and in the United States on BET in November 2011.[7]

Plot

[edit]

Upon becoming the new Black Panther after the assassination of his father T'Chaka, T'Challa deals with the jealousy in the Wakandan royal court while looking for the man who killed his father. Unbeknownst to Black Panther, Ulysses Klaue (the man who assassinated T'Chaka) has assembled a group of villains consisting of Batroc the Leaper, Juggernaut, the Vatican Black Knight, and the Russian Radioactive Man to help him take over Wakanda.

Production

[edit]

At a presentation held in New York City in April 2008, BET announced that it had signed a deal with Marvel Comics to turn Black Panther into a primetime half-hour animated series. In July 2008 at San Diego Comic-Con, the first footage of the series was shown publicly, indicating that the series was essentially just motion comic versions of the mini-series released by Marvel Comics.[10]

The show was supervised by Reginald Hudlin (President of Entertainment at BET), Eric S. Rollman (President of Marvel Animation) and John Romita, Jr., writer and artist, respectively, of the story arc of the Black Panther comic entitled "Who is the Black Panther?", on which the first six episodes were based.[11][10][12] Only subtle deviations from the comic exist, such as replacing Rhino with Juggernaut.

Djimon Hounsou was cast to voice T'Challa/Black Panther.[13] The series was directed by Mark Brooks and Jon Schnepp. Jon Schnepp co-directed and edited episodes 4 & 5 of the 6 episode animated motion comic series.[14] The theme song was composed by Stephen James Taylor in a dialect meant to be Wakandan (the fictional character's native language). In reality, the song employed a Bantu-based language of Taylor's creation.
