The opening credits are going to be Watchmen-esque with Spider-Man fighting petty crooks.
So my question is, where's Harry Osborn. Some of you may have seen our recest post on who should play Harry in the reboot, but there is no mention of him here. His father Norman is mentioned though, which is strange.
It also looks like they are skipping the orgins of Spidey, which is what most fans wanted.
So what do you think? Could it work? Is it real or not?
