“What was I supposed to do, just let them die?” … “Maybe.”

That’s part of a conversation had between a young Clark Kent and his adoptive father Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner) after Clark saves a bus full of kids from certain death, and a good indicator of what kind of movie Man of Steel, the latest take on iconic superhero Superman, aims to be.

Directed by Zack Snyder, the movie opens on the planet Krypton with Jor-El (Russell Crowe) witnessing the birth of his son and then going to try and warn a council of leaders of the planet’s impending doom before General Zod (Michael Shannon) attempts a coup and things begin escalating toward a state of chaos and destruction. Thinking quickly, Jor-El recovers a crucial item in preserving the Kryptonian race and sends it along with his newborn child, Kal-El, the first naturally born baby on the planet in centuries, off to planet Earth.

There he lives for the next 33 years, dealing with many of the things we all dealt with growing up, while also trying to keep his special abilities as secret as possible. But when General Zod finally locates the adult Kal-El (Henry Cavill) he comes to Earth to get what he’s been seeking all these years, no matter what the cost.

Today, Underground Toys has released the Doctor Who Eleventh Doctor Medium Talking Light Up Plush. This 8-inch-tall plush has the likeness of the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith, complete with bow-tie (bow-ties are cool), sonic screwdriver, and some added cushy cuteness.

If that wasn’t enough, when you squeeze the Doctor, the sonic screwdriver lights up and speaks the phrase “Hello, I’m the Doctor”; it also emits sounds heard on the Doctor Who television series.
