Confessions of a Superhero
Ever wonder what type of person chooses to dress-up as a Superhero every day? The indie documentary, Confessions of a Superhero, follows several down-on-their-luck performers in front of Hollywood's famed Chinese Theatre. Wonder Woman is a faded Homecoming Queen looking for work, while the Hulk uses the money to get by while waiting for his big break. The real stars of the documentary however, are Batman, who claims he has a dark and troubled past, and Superman, who attempts to live by the code of nobility enshrined by his character. Ultimately however, the movie simply reveals what happens to some of those people who didn't "make it". It offers no message of hope or redemption, instead just a depressing look at the people who would choose to dress up as our favorite heroes as a way to pay the rent.
Confessions of a Superhero is currently out on DVD.
