ThunderCats

Gaming: Hori will release Real Arcade Pro V series fight sticks for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in Japan. They are ginormous. Dread: There's an IMDB page for a Smallville spinoff, Metropolis, which is almost certainly fake, but hilarious nonetheless...

The ThunderCats redesigns for the recently launched animated series on Cartoon Network really were rejuvenating and quite good, but artist Carlos Villa took the idea of updating Lion-O and Cheetara for a new generation just a bit further...
