With his team of able associates at their headquarters high atop the tallest building in the world, Doc Savage is tireless in his pursuit of knowledge and justice.

Glee's Grant Gustin Cast As The Flash

This weekend's big news was 'Glee' Actor Grant Gustin Cast As Barry Allen In Upcoming Flash TV Series. Geoff Johns will be writing three episodes of Arrow which will introduce the character. I will admit to watching and enjoying Glee but I never warmed up to Sebastian played by Gustin. I really can't see the twenty-three year old as a Central City assistant police forensic investigator for he seems just too young. I do like the fact that they are keeping Barry as a comic book fan boy.

James Spader In The Avengers: Age of Ultron

The fifty-three year old actor will be playing Ultron in the Avengers sequel but it is not known yet if he will just be voicing the character or actually appearing in it. I'm not a big fan of Ultron but I have been a fan of James Spader since he appeared in the tv series, Boston Legal. He is returning to tv this fall in NBC's The Blacklist.

Women Wednesday: If Han Solo Was A Lady

Would you still love her anyway?

Why yes I would. This week's woman was found at The Females of gaming, comic books and anime

Bryan Cranston IS Lex Luthor

Some pretty cool news according to EXCLUSIVE: BRYAN CRANSTON IS LEX LUTHOR IN BATMAN/SUPERMAN; MATT DAMON UP FOR AQUAMAN; MARK STRONG AS SINESTRO POSSIBLE. I can see Cranston as Luthor but I can't really see Matt Damon as Aquaman.

Unknown Batman Action Figure Identified

After doing a lot of searching online, I finally identified the unknown Batman action figure that I recently bought at the local thrift store. Thanks to Figure Realm, I found out that he's a Batman (Light Suite) action figure from the 2005 Batman Begins Deluxe line. Unfortunely, mine is missing the orange winged cape part.

Thrift Store Finds: Action Figures And T-shirt

I hit the jackpot at one of the local thrift stores this morning. After weeks of not finding anything worthwhile, I found four action figures and a t-shirt. The action figures were each fifty cents.

First up is the Gorilla Grodd figure from McDonald's Brave & Bold Happy Meal from a few years ago:

Next up is the Playskool Iron Man figure from 2010 (I will admit that I missed up and didn't get the car that he was supposed to go with because it didn't look like they belonged together and they were not packaged together):

There was also a Spider-Man suction cup figure from McDonald's Happy Meal in 2009 (his head and arms at the shoulders do turn):

I have no clue as to this odd Batman action figure with the orange bat symbol on his chest other than in was made in China and the orange extensions on the removable back pack lights up (I had to clean the batteries for it to work):

Finally, I scored a XXL Batman: Arkham City t-shirt for three dollars. Here is a picture snapped with my crummy digital camera:

This is what the image is supposed to look like:

Breaking News: Ben Affleck Is Batman

Well, I didn't see this coming: Ben Affleck is Superman/Batman's Dark Knight.
