Review of Legends of the Knight (2013) by Byron B — 16 Apr 2015
I missed seeing this as part of the festivities for Batman's 75th anniversary at my local comics shop this past year. I was glad to see it turn up on Netflix recently. The uplifting stories of ordinary people inspired to live better lives based on the example of Batman, who has no superpowers, are wonderful.
Some are given more attention than others. The philosophical talking heads could have been edited more selectively. Unfortunately, Brett Culp, the producer, cinematographer, editor, writer, and director of this doc spends an inordinate amount of time interviewing producer Michael Uslan.
Uslan is responsible for producing, or initiating, the big-budget Batman films in Hollywood after not being satisfied with the joke made of Batman in the 60s TV show. Anyways, the film shows a bit of Batman history and several people doing good in this world.
According to Common Sense Media, an alternative to the MPAA that I like, it is appropriate for kids 10 and older.
