This just in! Looks like Kit and Len leap into action later this year on the CW later this year. And with the close Warner Brothers affiliation, I’m betting that we just might see the Riders battle out sometime on Cartoon Network itself. Here’s the breakdown:

Japan’s Adness Entertainment licenses the US broadcast rights for Kamen Rider Dragon Knight to 4Kids Entertainment, which plans to air the series as part of TheCW4Kids Saturday morning block on The CW Network for the 2008-9 season. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, a live-action series featuring CGI special effects, follows the adventures of a teen discovers a mysterious deck of cards that give him the power to transform into an ancient warrior called a Kamen Rider. Produced by Adness Entertainment, which is adapting for the US, the series is based on the original series Kamen Rider Ryuki, produced by the Toei Company.

I just love it when cool celebrities let their geek show. Most would give some lame stock answer of, “my mother is my hero…” or “Batman”, no doubt referring to the Adam West spoof comedy. Will Smith here…. he doesn’t go for the safe or lame. He goes straight for the Ultraman, criss-crosses his wrists and everything! Kudos to Mr. Smith. His coolness just shot up in my book.
