Cody Rhodes is an excellant
Cartoon Network has a new Thundercats series in the works for 2011
I loved this show as a kid, and remember hearing rumors about a possible Thundercats movie being in the works, but this, I think, far and away better, I can honestly say I'm eagerly awaiting this series, the one concern I have is could it possibly live up to the expectations older fans are gonna have for it?

Thundercats... Ho!
Lion-O and the warriors from Thundera will be back on television next year in a new animated series set to air on Cartoon Network in 2011.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, the new "Thundercats" series will be the studio's first project to use anime-style animation, and promises to be a "21st century reimagining" of the classic '80s cartoon series.
Along with the first promotional image from the series, WBA also sent over a brand new, ridiculously cool poster announcing the series' 2011 debut.
Here's the first image from the series:
And here's the poster we received:
According to the studio, the new series will appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers to the universe of Lion-O and his Thunderan brethren.
Calling it "a sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting ferocious battles with the highest of stakes," the studio offered some hints about what the new "Thundercats" series will involve, including "the grand origin story of Prince Lion-Os ascension to the throne and of those who would thwart his destiny at any cost."
For the project, WBA will collaborate with noted Japanese animation Studio4°C (The Animatrix, Gotham Knights), who will update the characters' look for the series.
"Thundercats" will be executive produced by Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold), with Michael Jelenic (Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Wonder Woman) and Ethan Spaulding (Avatar: The Last Airbender) as producers.
