Gerard Way Co-Directs A New Aquabats Super Show Episode As They Face The ‘Anti-Bats’!

The fifth episode of The Aquabats Super Show is airing this Saturday. This one looks like it is going to be the biggest, and craziest episode yet! It has a stack of awesome guest stars and written by Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance fame! Check out the promo for “Anti-Bats” below!

“Anti-Bats!” — Two competing bands seeking revenge on The Aquabats! unite with evil Silver Skull and become the Anti-bats! Meanwhile, Ricky abandons The Aquabats! for newfound love and must choose between his new girlfriend and saving his friends as the mighty Anti-bats close in, on “The Aquabats! Super Show!,” Saturday, June 29 at 1 p.m. ET on the Hub Network. Martin Starr (“Knocked Up”) and Noel Wells (“Upright Citizens Brigade”) guest star in an episode co-directed and co-written by Gerard Way (“My Chemical Romance”).

That promo has be freaking stoked! It is awesome to see the new villains The Anti-Bats! Back in the day a buddy of mine had made his own custom Anti-Bat costume, so seeing these guys made me happy!

So with all these new characters in the show we gotta have a huge list of guest stars, and it is a doozie of a guest list!

Martin Starr (Shred Center M.C.)
Noel Wells (Rachel Moonbug)
Mikey Way (Asthma Lead Singer)
Matt Gorney (Skillsawz)
Kyla Broderick (Asthma Bass Girl)
Brad Davis (Asthma Beard Man)
Derrick deVilliers (Asthma Mask Drummer)
Mark Fordham (SilverSkull)
Bob Walkingshaw (Army General)
Jamey Anthony (Governor Robot)
Paige Terry (Teenager)
Mark Fordham (Government Official)

This all could have only come from one place, the mind of Gerard Way. After he hosted the Aquabats Panel at San Diego Comic Con last I was excited to know that he had an episode planned. I think this time I am going to get up nice and early (Alaska Time sucks for TV sometimes) and watch it live instead of my DVR.

See you Saturday!
