Young Justice

Let's get 2011 off to a great start with a post featuring the guys of Cartoon Network's newest action series Young Justice.  The screencaps in today's post are from the pilot, which aired in November.  The show starts airing regularly later this month.

I liked the pilot and its unique take on the characters.  It's sort of what I expected the Teen Titans cartoon to be like.

The image archive for today's post features over 200 bonus screencaps.

More Tangled

With its release coming in just two days in America, I figured it would be great to revisit Flynn Rider, the male hero from Disney's Tangled.

This post features not just screencaps from trailers and movie clips but also some really cool promo and concept art. Seeing more of the 2D art kind of makes me wish Tangled was 2D like The Princess and The Frog. Then again, seeing a Disney prince in CG is certainly unique.

Just like the last Tangled post, there are some extra pics to be found in the image archive. This archive is a bit larger than others because I opted not to shrink any pics.

Speedo Force 5

I wasn't planning on doing another post about Hot Wheels Battle Force 5 yet but something in a recent episode was too good to pass up.

In the episode "Battleship 5," the team goes to Planet Vandal to attempt to retrieve something from underneath its ocean. However, since team member Stanford hates Planet Vandal, they tell him that they're going to the beach. He brings his swimsuit and that swimsuit is a speedo.

Stanford spends most of the episode clad in his speedo. He's not exactly the most muscular member of the team (not to mention the tan lines) but let's put this into perspective. I cannot think of any other CG action show that has prominently featured a guy in a speedo. I'm pretty certain it never happened on ReBoot, as much as I would love to see the likes of Matrix and Bob that way.

This episode isn't the first time Stanford has rocked his speedo. He appeared briefly in one in the season one episode "Gladiators." I hope that sometime in the future, we get an episode that shows us what the rest of the guys look like under their uniforms.

Below, you'll find a selection of screencaps from both episodes mentioned above. The image archive linked at the end of this post also contains extra screencaps I didn't post.

Tangled

Even though I'm a big fan of Disney animated films, the guys from those films have never really been featured here (apart from David Kawena's awesome fanart). This changes with today's post as it features Flynn Rider, the male hero from Disney's upcoming CG film Tangled.

Tangled is a take on the classic fairy tale Rapunzel with Mandy Moore voicing the heroine and Zachary Levi voicing Flynn. Flynn isn't your typical Disney hero as he is a slick thief as opposed to a prince. He's voiced by Zachary Levi from Chuck with Mandy Moore voicing Rapunzel.

It's too early to tell how good the movie might be but I liked the trailer and I think Flynn's pretty hot. Below, you'll find more pics of him including official art and HD screencaps from the movie's trailer. The image archive features some extra screencaps from the trailer.
