DVD Synopsis
Four mere mortals adapt the personas of their favorite superhero characters, and filmmaker Matt Ogens chronicles the lives and ambitions of this curious quartet in a documentary that explores the allure of fame on the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard. Being a superhero isn't as easy as it appears in the flickering light of a darkened theater, but sometimes on the Walk of Fame it feels that anything is possible. Joe McQueen's journey began when he sold his Super Nintendo for a bus ticket to Hollywood and assumed the identity of The Incredible Hulk. Meanwhile, much like the character of Bruce Wayne, Maxwell Allen struggles with anger issues while assuming the guise of Gotham crime-fighter Batman. Now far from her former days as a Midwest beauty queen, Jennifer Gehrt walks the city streets dressed as whip-wielding do-gooder Wonder Woman. Some days, it seems that Christopher Dennis' every thought is consumed by how the character of Superman, whose cape he dons on a daily basis, would react to the chaos of Tinseltown. From mere fascination to all-consuming obsession, each one of these everyday superheroes are forced balance their own identities with the personas of the characters they portray as they struggle to achieve fame in a town where heroes are cheap, and stars come priced at a dime a dozen. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This is a great movie with some decent bonus material. It's turned out to be a keeper for sure. It's a documentary about people going to Hollywood to try and make it as actors. You feel like you yourself live in Hollywood and hang out with these people. It's really good. The story focus' on these aspiring actors engaging in a type of pan-handling in which they dress up as superheros and have photos taken in exchange for tips. The Batman guy has some psychological problems and gets arrested and gets in the face of some people who don't want to tip him. The four main characters in this doc are people who portray SUperman, Batman, Wonder WOman and the Hulk. You don't have to be a comic book fan to like this movie. If you simply like to peek into the lives of people who lead unusual lives you will probably like this. Movies Similar to "Confessions of a Superhero"
