"I love Panthro, so to play him, yeah I'm very very happy. The state of the art animation they have today is... That's exactly what it is — state of the art."

"The cast is fantastic. Will Friedle as Lion-O and some other people who I want to keep anonymous at the moment. It's up to the times, it's a lot cooler, it's going to move a little faster, and the special effects and the direction and the acting are just superb."

"I must tell you, I love the original, and if it ain't broke don't fix it. But from what I've worked on already, I'm very impressed. My favorite part is the 'Thunder... Thunder... THUNDER!"

YES! KMR is a great voice actor and perfectly suited for Panthro, and Will Friedle as Lion-O works well too. And Jp499 I agree after WB finishes the Nolan Bat-trilogy they should work on a Batman Beyond live action film or two before jumping back into mainstream Batman.

I do however hope that Will Friedle is able to do the signature "Thundercats Ho!" properly. His voice isn't as deep as the original voice actor.

@Dedpool yeah man, Batman Beyond is the next logical step, especially with the planned TV show their planning.

and If they do make a regular Batman movie again, It should be set up like Iron Man 2, and serve the primary purpose of setting up crossovers before trying to focus too much on solo stuff again.

Kevin's a perfect fit for Panthro. Friedle might do Lion-O justice, but we'll see.

jazzman@ totally agree, panthro was the black guy, lol. paint him blue, and give him some nunchucks, he kinda would look like panthro, too

On a side note, they need to do something with Batman Beyond, man.
