Same here! Plus, the fight between Leo in his golden lion armor and Mumm-Ra in his badass skull armor was fantastic.

Is your birthday the 16th?
Yep. This year I'm seeing Henry VIII.

Mine is the 17th!
Also, watched episodes 2-6 of Thundercats tonight.
I am quite into it at this point.
I'm slowly working my way through the DC Universe animated movies. I say slowly because getting hold of them in the UK is like finding Jesus in the form of a Blu-Ray disk!
Watched Superman/Batman: Apocalypse the other night. The action was great and the tweaked ending worked (No Source Wall though! WTF!!!). It was just painfully slow until they got to Apokolips.
I also saw a random episode of Batman: The Brave and The Bold on TV. I think I might "obtain" it. It seems like a fun show.
Superman/Buttman: Apocalypse was the only one of the DC Universe movies I haven't liked.
Brave and the Bold is definitely worth obtaining. It is pretty much the most fun.

Holy shit, man!
Also, I'm not a big Thundercats fan in general, should I try the new show regardless?
Alright, what would be the best way to catch up?
I'd definitely try it. The only thing the new one and the '80s one have in common are the characters and some of the world building. The new one has a plot, great voice acting and animation and a lot more characterization. It's basically a completely different show. And best of all, Snarf doesn't talk! (Don't get me wrong, nothing will ever beat the '80s version.)
But it makes me nostalgic at the same time--Will Friedle (Terry McGinnis from Batman Beyond) is Lion-O, Clancy Brown (Lex Luthor) as Grune and I'm pretty sure that was Cree Summer (also Batman Beyond) in the latest episode. Sigh, I miss Batman Beyond...

Episode 7 just came on Friday, so you haven't missed much.
This would probably be the easiest way:

Unless you're talking about something.. ahem.. even cheaper.

Speaking of cheap, if any of you haven't seen it already (or if you saw it back when it was on but never bought the DVDs), you can get
the ENTIRE 1st season of Legion of Super Heroes from Amazon Instant Video for only $6.49!
That is a truly fantastic deal for how great this under appreciated show was.
Get it! Watch it! I can't imagine you'll be disappointed.
