SDCC: Neil Patrick Harris is Activision's 'Amazing' Spider-Man photo

Activision has finally unveiled the voice actor behind the 'Amazing' Spider-Man in the upcoming Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, and it's none other than Neil Patrick Harris.

The actor had previously voiced Spider-Man in 2003's Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, and is currently a nerd icon superstar for his role in Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible, and just basically being awesome. Other voice acting for the title's various dimensions: "Ultimate" Spider-Man will be voiced by Josh Keaton; "Noir" will be voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes; and "2099" will be voiced by Dan Gilvezan.

Additionally, it's been revealed that Marvel's own Stan Lee will provide narration throughout the title, with music by Emmy winner Jim Dooley.

Not only is Shattered Dimensions looking to be a decent game, but Activision isn't pulling any punches when it comes fan service, either.

Forget "Amazing". This is now "Legendary Spider-Man".

Glad to see this finally confirmed. I have been saying NPH was amazing ever since he had that line in the reveal trailer. And for the people didn't know, all those actors are from the other Spider-man shows.

Josh Keaton(ultimate)=Spectacular Spider-man
Christopher Daniel Barnes(Noir):Spider-man the animated series(90s one)
and Dan Gilvezan(2099)=Spider-man & his Amazing Friends

@hardockspiffy: eh, that's too easy. You're slipping.

Doogie will be good for the character's voice.

The only way this could get any better is if he sang for throughout the entire game.

@hardockspiffy Whats wrong with NPH? The guys a bad ass in my book. It seems like everything he does is pretty damn awesome. Starship Troopers, K&H go to White Caste, Dracula's Daughters vs. the Space Brains, He was even awesome as the Monkey in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

The guy might get a lot of BIT pieces but damn he never fails.

@volomon, NPH's homosexuality doesn't really need any defending. As a straight man, I don't think I could reject a sexual advance from him. Am I bi? Only for NPH.

I too would let NPH slip it in me because the man, and his voice, are LEGEN- wait for it -DARY!

Josh Keaton is still the best Spiderman though.

Stan Lee is narrating? I’m sure that’s great for the fans and all but doesn‘t he pronounce it “Sphiderman”?

NPH and Josh "MEOW" Keaton? I'm significantly more interested in this game now.

I KNEW IT! I called it as soon as I heard him say "I'm not the only one." in the opening trailer. And hang on, did I read that above comment correctly? Josh Keaton is back, too? (Presumably as Ultimate Spidey)

YEESSSSSS!

This is amazing, He's like a newer version of Tim Curry
Even though you see him in near everything, he's not one of those celebrity one hit wonders looking for a new shot at fame by doing every single role available.
He's just that fantastic, will be looking forward to this title, but now that's just icing on the cake.

@hardockspiffy: I don't know what comics you've been reading but Peter Parker doesn't even seem remotely straight to me.

Their using actors who voiced Spidey in some of my favorite cartoons ever AND have thrown in The amazingness of NPH and Stan Lee. Day one purchase.

And I second epic-koryuken's suggestion. P.S. He is slowly becoming my second favorite person ever (#1 is NPH)

NPH was great as Nightwing in Batman under the red hood. I can't wait.

Also bender/marcus fenix voices the joker. REALLY good movie go get it.

Definitely cool. NPH is a talented voice actor and I'm also glad to see Josh Keaton on there. He was so damn good as Ocelot in MGS 3.

@Snaileb

Movie was surprisingly good (I liked that they didn't belabor the identity of Red Hood), but I actually wasn't a fan of Di Maggio as the Joker. He just sounded exactly like Bender. Just a little weird to me.

I don't understand this affinity for him.. He isn't particularly manly, or awesome. Maybe I need an explanation.
